Great veterinarian! They were able to see my kitties on short notice and had blood test results quickly. The office is a little hard to find as it is tucked in behind the gas station on Whipple Ave. The entrance is located on Winslow Street. Thank you Dr. Tam for taking care of our older kitties and helping us adjust to their current needs. Read Less

Staff and Veterinarians are extremely friendly and very knowledgeable. Dr. Stiglich has been great with my dog during the multiple visits over the past year. I am very grateful to have found such a great establishment. Read Less

Would have been a 3 based on my visits last 2 years but a lot happier with them after this year's visit. Pros: Dr. Stiglich is pretty good with explaining things and very patient with my usual many questions. I actually liked her better than the vet I started with her (Dr. Peters, who was pretty brusque). She is also super gentle and loving with dogs, so my dog was pretty chill with her. Price is pretty standard for the services. Location near the highway exit, easy to get things done and head somewhere else. They apparently started writing paper scripts and allowing you to fill them with other online pharmacies, and you can get the paper script the same day at checkout. Price is reasonable now that I don't need to pay inflated prices for Trifexis (as much as I love having the pill packs and insert come in the original paper box...  Their previous policy was ridiculous! I was about to switch my dog to the same vet as my second dog, the only caveat being distance from home). Cons: Small parking lot (1 strip of spots in front of the already small building and 3 parallel parking spots across from that strip -- trying to back out while other cars want to come in?  Fuhgettabouddit)Something weird about the traffic getting into this place -- if you're coming from Whipple, you turn right onto Winslow and there it is, but you need to do an illegal U-turn at the next intersection to bypass the island. Play it safe and take Winslow northbound to start. Somewhat small waiting room. I had 2 dogs with me and there were 2 other patrons with equally small dog, and the place was already full -- some of the other dogs also weren't the best socialized so it felt like there was nowhere to go to avoid each other. And then a malamute came in...  lol. Read Less

We are new to this vet, as well as to the area. We were nervous about finding the right new vet. Whipple Pet Hospital seemed convenient for us. So we decided to try it. So far we really like it! ( so does our pup Hercules ) Dr. Tam was great! She was so kind and gentle with our pup! She answered all our questions  and took her time throughout the exam. Our puppy absolutely loved her. ( he even cried for her when she left the room)  Everyone in the office is very friendly.  Our goal was to find a vet who truly seemed to have our pet's best interest at heart without trying to buy into procedures or product unnecessarily.So far this vet Clinic seemed to have helped us reach that goal!

My 12 years old dog got spayed from Dr. Stiglich. Dr. Stiglich was so careful for my dog and did a great great job. She called me after surgury and explained about my dog's body condition and the result of the surgery. I've been searched many other vets for the surgery very carefully because my dog is so tiny and old, I could trust Dr. Stiglich after I had consultation. The price was reasonable too. One of other vet estimated it over $4000+@. I did it $400 from Whipple avenue hospital. Dr. Stiglich seems like care more about my dog itself than money. I felt like other vets just care about money.

TLDR; it is illegal for a vet in CA to refuse a prescription (California Veterinary Medical Board, Code of Regulations, section 2032.2C). Don't let this place or any other vet force you to use them or their approved pharmacy in exchange for a prescription.---I've been taking my dog here for a few years now. Last year, when we needed a prescription sent to my dog's pharmacy (who happen to be a Vet-VIPPS-accredited pharmacy), they sent it right away. This morning, I called and spoke with Christy who, after putting me on hold to check their policy, refused to give me a prescription even if I went to pick it up myself. She cited that it was a new policy that customers had to go through the vet or their approved pharmacy.Well, it turns out it is illegal in California for a vet to refuse a prescription. I know this, because I called the CA Veterinary Medical Board after my call to Whipple, and they pointed me to the Code of Regulations, section 2032.2C, which is available online.When I called back threatening to file a complaint, John, the tech who answered this time, checked with his vet and 10 minutes later called me back to apologize and say I could pick up the prescription in an hour. He said the reasoning was that some pharmacies sell bad drugs that can be harmful to pets.I don't doubt there have been scams and bad actors, but to deny customers a prescription and more importantly, prevent an animal from getting the medicine it needs is, as I stated earlier, illegal. They can strongly recommend that you use their approved pharmacy, but they cannot deny you a prescription, and that is exactly what they tried to do when I first called.Also to add insult to injury, despite the vet having a perfectly capable telephone and fax, they were not willing to fax or telephone in the prescription to my pharmacy; I had to drive over there, pick it up, and mail it to the pharmacy myself.This experience has really changed my view of Whipple Avenue Pet Hospital, and I may look elsewhere for veterinary care in the future.

Finding a vet is one of the most critical decisions we make. When worked required us to move to the peninsula, finding a wonderful vet was one of my top two action items. Whipple Ave Pet Hospital is probably the best vet I've ever found. To a person they are professional, skilled and clearly love all their patients. We've only been coming for a little over a year and they know my name and all my "kids" names when I call. If i could give a 10 star rating, i would Read Less

The vets and the tech staff and amazing! I can obtain an appointment easily and feel very comfortable taking my cats here. In other venues, I have experienced pressure to engage in costly dental work. I am not opposed to that when needed, but at Whipple I get an honest answer. And if my cats do require surgery, I have tremendous confidence in the tech staff, who is integral part of the process. Six stars!Read Less

Very thorough, professional and kind staff helped us when we took our sick cat in to be examined. We got good guidance on dealing with our cat's terminal illness, keeping her comforted and making end-of-life decisions that are so hard to make. Everyone was very caring and empathetic. Read Less
