We absolutely love the care our two Golden’s, Brawny and Dixie, receive at Arlington Animal Hospital. When we walk in we’re always warmly greeted and cared for. Over the past couple years we’ve dealt with many of the vets on staff and love each of them. Each takes their time with you and your pet to answer all questions and in my experience they treat your pet as their own. Also the girls at the front desk are wonderful!! I call in regularly to get refills and they always remember my dogs and are quick in helping out!! This location is by no means convenient to my home but it’s worth the drive to make sure my fur babies are loved and cared for. Thank you Arlington Animal Hospital for keeping my pups happy and healthy!! Read Less

I have been there twice and they have been nothing but helpful and caring. My first time was to put down a stray dog I found and grew to love and I can barely put into words how amazing they were to me and my sister. I have never gone thru that before and they really “feel” for you. It was truly amazing. I love that they are 24 hours and close. Read Less

Visited for an emergency breathing problem . They were terrific. Checked on us while we were waiting, making sure my Lucy was not critical and was getting enough oxygen. Once we got in to see the Dr, it was very reassuring. Did a thorough exam and was very clear on what she was doing and why. And I loved that they wanted to hear how she was doing, especially if she got better. They loved her and it showed! Thank you!! Read Less

Awful. I hope this place gets closed down. 24 emergency hospital? No staff or tools for emergency procedures. Was told nothing could be done for my dog who was choking on a stick. Dr. didn't even examine or look into the mouth of the dog, nothing. If you want your pet to die, this is the place to take it to. Worst experience ever. Read Less

I'm going to be blunt with my personal experience. My pup had a seizure Mid April. My experience with the staff was not a pleasant one with the exception of the receptionist. I got nothing but attitude from the assistant and the veterinarian did not put me at ease with the whole ordeal. They were charging me 2,000+ dollars for treatments and an overnight stay for him. I simply couldn't afford it so I brought my dog home upset and crying. My dog had developed a symptom and I called back to ask a question and received more attitude from whoever I was talking with. I finally got fed up and went to a different vet. Pedley square veterinary clinic charged me a fraction of what this place was charging me. PLUS I got his puppy shots, nail trim, medication, blood work, and peace of mind for 300 dollars including care plan for him. My word of advice to you guys is these are our babies, you need reasonable prices with caring staff members. Read Less

We've been bringing all of our pets here for years. All staff are caring, and our dogs love Dr. Saldana! The cost is very reasonable, we think. We absolutely won't take our pets to another vet! They truly love animals. Completely satisfied! Read Less

First I have to say the Staff was amazing and the doctor took the time to do a complete exam with me present and was very knowledgeable. We almost put our Kitty of 5 months to sleep but took her in for a 3rd Opinion. The doctor left returning 15 minutes later with a print out and explanation of what he felt was a False Pregnancy/Hormonal problem. He suggested she have surgery immediately to remove her Ovaries and scheduled it the following day.... on a Sunday! I was quoted $150. To spay her from previous Doctor, including antibiotics and Followup aftercare to remove stitches. We ended up paying over $500. For exam and surgery.... and still have to pay to have stitches removed. So, if I didn’t feel they were pricey, I would have given them 5 Stars! Great doctor and Staff and Clean facility, just cost more than anticipated. Read Less

My husband have brought all of our pets to Arlington Animal Hospital for the past 10 years. Their staff is friendly and considerate. We have had great experiences with all doctor's we've worked with on staff. Our pets have all received exceptional care here. Even when we have moved homes, we continue to drive here because we know our pets will be safe and receive the best care. Their 24 hour Emergency Center is convenient and we always feel relieved knowing we can come to our regular vet at anytime, for planned or emergency visits. Read Less

By far best animal clinic/hospital I’ve been too! I’m more than happy with the services that were provided to my pet. He’s doing so much better! The female vet that saw my dog was great and handled him with so much care. Front staff was also very polite and helpful. The wait time was understandable since I did a walk-in. Definitely recommend this place if your animal is in need of care :) Read Less

If I could give a negative star I would. We took our kitten in to find out about declawing services. The receptionist said that we needed to come in before they quoted the fee for service. We arrived and were informed that it would be $600 to have this done. When I said we need to discuss as a family before deciding I was then hit with a $50 consultation fee?????? They only took her temperature?? And I didn't ask for that?? I just called another vet and for declawing service and 2 days of boarding and it will be $70.  What the bleep!!!!! I will NEVER go back there again. Read Less

Where are the negative stars??? Extremely expensive, they charge for a consultation fee at $50.00, they did not provide any services as my pet is not sick ... all I wanted was a quote for procedure  but they charged for just telling us how much it would cost... and the amout they were going to charge is a ridiculous outrageous amount!!! Got procedure some where else for a lot less... like way less!!! By the way, they did not disclose the fact that they were going to charge $50.00 to tell me me how much the actual procedure would cost...  deceiving... Read Less

Took my sick kitten to this hospital. Bottom line they wanted $3,000 for a two day stay plus emergency service fee of $950. They wanted money up front and staff had a terrible attitude. I went to another vet and had all the same service done by friendly people for $500. I will never go back there. Read Less

WORST PLACE EVER!!! YOUR PET DESERVES BETTER . If only there was an option to rate this place negative stars!!!!All this place cares about is the money in your pockets!!! That being said don't take your pet here !Brought in my 3 year old English bulldog for an EMERGENCY saddened to the news that she had little chance of making out alive. I decided the best option  for my bulldog was to be put to rest after all her suffering... so I asked for her to be put down signed the paper work and everything all they were waiting for was my payment. THEY WOULD NOT HELP HER .My dog was suffering in the other room I could hear her loud breathing and cries while these HEARTLESS staff and doctors would not give her the care she needed all because they couldn't take a second payment option over the phone from my dad. After the all this they still had the audacity of mailing me a "condolences card" (signed by all the staff) COMPLETELY SADDENED. Worst experience ever. Read Less

Convenient that it's open 24/7. Quality and care from veterinarian is good. Service from front staff was not professional. I only come here when my regular vet office is closed. I figure front staff can always improve or be replaced. Other than service, this office does offer good care. Read Less

I was pretty surprised at the amount of bad reviews this place had....Brought in our toy poodle bc she needed a deep teeth cleaning. This was the first time ever coming to this vet and he went through a pretty detailed checkup of our dog. First time Ive seen a vet smell my dogs ear and let me know it should be cleaned... He then gets a cotton swab cleans both ears and shows us how to clean it next time (this was after I asked the groomers to make sure their ears and plucked and cleaned each time). Also gave a better estimate than the other vets we asked about her teeth cleaning. When we did pick up our dog, they skipped us by accident and gave 2 other people their dogs first (but thats crying over spilled milk) Overall this place did a good job on our dog and the vet seemed compassionate for animals (exactly what you'd expect from a vet) Read Less

I had taken all of my dogs here for over 7 years. It was a little pricey but I felt it was worth it,  because they had always treated my animals well. We had all of their shots and microchips done here since they were puppies. Yesterday, one of my dogs got out of the yard, so I called to get the chip information  to report my dog missing. They said they had no record of my animal getting a chip. How can that be?  What's even crazier about this is that there was no "wellness plan" that did not include a microchip. We were told it was against the law and mandatory to get our dogs chipped.  So we paid for something, and paid a lot more than most vets charge, that in the end isn't going to help me get my fur-baby back home. Some Shady business must be going on here. We will no longer be coming here. Read Less

We have always had great success here at Arlington.  It is nice to know there is after hours vet service.  Sure it is a little more expensive but it is after hours, it's emergency.   Ultimately they care for their patients and do a great job.  If you need emergency service for your pet I highly recommend Alrington. Read Less

This Vet has always been fair and reasonable whenever we have had to use their services in an emergency. Helpful, knowledgeable and respectful. I see the bad reviews but just want everyone to know  that this place has always helped us! They are my go to Vet for after hours and I highly recommend them! Read Less

Fully staffed clinic but there is 3 people helping one person. I signed in on the sheet, but I guess they do not even look at it. Still sitting here and all I needed was to get flea meds for my dog. Guy at counter is still standing there after 20 mins of "talking" to the staff. If they did not have my dogs meds I would never come hereUPDATE:Med prices are double what they used to be. Guess that means I am not returning here. Cheaper prices on Amazon and almost any other place. Read Less

Wow, what in the world happened to this place!  So disappointed!  Years ago I used to take my previous dog here and received good care.  Boy have things changed!  Its pretty much highway robbery now.  Took my English Bulldog here due to an ear infection.  We have another vet that we use regularly, however they are further away and its difficult to get to with our work schedule or on weekends. Came into Arlington on a Sunday so we would have plenty of time.  First, my dog gets a little excited, so when they tried weighing him on the scale, rather than waiting 5 seconds for him to sit down in order for the scale to catch his real weight, they put him down at 71 lbs!  There is no way in hell my dog weighs that much.  In fact, I never even saw the scale bounce around to that number. Second, the assistant gave a completely half ass attempt at taking my dogs temperature, which is standard for any consultation.  So, in the end she didn't take it all.  No one ever did.Third, the laziest vet I've ever come across.  Pretty much wanted us to do all the work, rather than bringing in a professional to help him look at my dogs ear.  He took a 2 second look at him and that was it.  He did not even bother to check both ears!  I had to tell him 3 times about the previous treatment my dog had for his ears at my regular vet.  Then he went into the back to draft up the most outrageous estimate I've ever seen.$840 to treat my dogs ear!  My usual vet charged me $325 for the exact same issue, and that included sedation.  How the hell does Arlington come up with these numbers?  My husband and I were immediately insulted and upset that they would even propose this and said forget it.  What a waste of time.  I obviously know that they've added on every single unnecessary charges they could think of and expect that you'll want to negotiate it down.  However, the starting quote was so insulting, that I didn't even bother with them.  Then they still have the nerve to charge us $60 for the crappiest consultation I've ever received.  For what?  We did all the work!  Didn't even take my dogs temperature.In the end I walked out with $60 less and absolutely no help at all.  My theory, they know their quotes are ridiculous, so they rush through your appointment quickly so they can make a fast $60 for the consultation, and if they're lucky you'll pay the entire bill or overpay for unnecessary treatments.  Disgusting!Thanks for nothing Arlington.  Very sad to see this place go so downhill (though it obviously has if you check their current rating), but I think its important to warn others before they are completely ripped off.  Enjoy my $60 Arlington, you'll never get another dime from me.

Seriously, F*CK this place. If I can give 1 star I would. Brought my sisters turtle here because he had a prolapsed rectum, had the surgery done, boom $400. Then they say come back every 3 days for a month to get him an antibiotic shot that costs $40 a pop. Today I went in to get his stitches taken off and then I'm presented with a bill for $300. The stupid dumb pudgy little "vet" says it's still prolapsed and he needs to get yet another surgery! BULLSH*T! All they are doing is running a damn racket up here. They know people care about their pets so they prey on that and charge you ridiculous prices. I can tell by the way she was speaking that she was being dishonest. I went off on her A$$ too. Do not come here if you want your pet to live. Go else where, they will keep charging you and charging you until your pet dies. Read Less

Worst vet to go to. They will treat you like you're wasting their time, like they're better than you, like you're ignorant, like you're scum! Brought my dog here and I was immediately given an attitude with zero compassion toward my dog. My dog passed away and because I wanted him to take him to the cremation company the next morning they refused to hold him overnight. Even if I paid. They literally brought out my dogs body and said to put him in my car or else they'll put him on the floor. Who in the right mind does this? Who hired these people?!?! I'm beside myself. I have also heard horror stories from other friends after I expressed my disgust about this vet. They were treated the same way or worse! Don't go here if you want your dog to live. They will waste precious time to treat or even just stabilize your dog until you pay in full. GO TO NORCO ANIMAL HOSPITAL!!! Read Less

My kitten Grace was ill. I brought her into AAH. The staff was friendly and compassionate. Unfortunately, they weren't able to help Grace. I had to have her put to sleep. A week later I receive a sympathy card signed by all of the staff that meant a lot to me. Read Less

Not recommended and wasted my staffs time!They won't let me leave a deposit or pay the bill over the phone with my credit card. My customers dog needs an exam for a cut on his head. Arlington needs to fax paperwork to my office before they see the dog. I am not in my office on Sundays and we already gave them signed paperwork from the customer authorizing treatment for their dog.  I will gladly pay over the phone if you would let me but you are making everything complicated. Left and went to Grand Terrace Animal Emergency where they took my credit card over the phone, treated the dog and we are on our way home already. Bill is paid in full and they were very easy and nice. Read Less

Arlington is a life saver. We are a rescue and they have done so much for our doggies. Dr. S is amazing! He has saved legs we thought our dogs would lose. He put together a dog that was literally falling apart on the inside and was expected to die. She now lives a very happy life. Their prices are very reasonable as emergency times go and during regular hours even better. We love Arlington! Read Less

The staff were very understanding and supportive. Our dog eventually passed but she had an incurable disease. The staff took time for us to comfort and spend some time in our dogs final hours. We also received a condolence card with a lot of names of the staff. Many thanks for the efforts of Arlington Animal Hospital. Read Less

I waited a few days before writing this review to see if anything they said about my dog is was valid.My English Bulldog has a tendency to get overheated/excited in some situations. He was panting quite heavily when I picked him up from the groomer and seemed to be more distressed than normal. Employees at the groomer suggested that I take my dog to the vet that recently opened two doors down from them. The receptionist at the vet stated that their doctor was in surgery and that I really should take my dog to the closest emergency vet, which is Arlington Animal Hospital.When we arrived at the hospital, the employees were very helpful and whisked our dog away for immediate treatment. The receptionist took all of my information along with a $500 deposit.While waiting for news on my dog, my daughter and I began looking at reviews of the hospital. Yikes! Wish I would've done that prior to visiting. Although there were numerous negative reviews, I was still hopeful that they were giving my dog the best care, even if it was on the expensive side. After awhile, the vet technician came in and delivered the news that my dog was extremely critical, likely needed surgery but they'd have to wait to see if his organs were going to fail. A short time later, a receptionist came in with a complete break down of costs. The initial $500 had been eaten up with x-rays and blood work. At that point I owed them an additional $65. She then shared their medical game plan that included an overnight stay. Although they weren't promising me anything, they were hoping to have good news for me the next day, provided that he survived the night and it was only going to set me back a little over $3,000. When I declined that option and requested that they bring me my dog, they offered to come up with a less expensive alternative. Honestly, it felt like buying a used car. I imagine the wheeling and dealing would've continued until I agreed to some type of treatment. It honestly all felt very shady. I figured I chance it and try to get him to his regular vet.After signing the paperwork releasing their liability of my "critically ill" dog, they brought him to me and we left without further treatment. When we got home, my dog drank a very large bowl of water and took a nap. He has been COMPLETELY fine for 5 days now. Needless to say, we will not be back. Read Less

I took my cat back in October to figure out what was wrong with her. She had lost all control of her bowels and her bladder and it was becoming extremely challenging. I decided to go to Arlington Animal hospital because I could get the quickest appointment. Worst decision. No wonder they had so many open appointments.Upon arrival, everyone was friendly, I can give them that. But I'm a business woman myself, and I work with people who are going through crises as well, and if your business cannot be upfront, sympathetic or considerate because all you care about is money, then maybe you shouldn't be in business at all.I knew going in that they were going to have to run some tests and bloodwork, and all of those showed up great, but still didn't answer the question of what was wrong with my cat. The doctor kept pushing xrays and other tests, and I kept explaining to them that I can't afford it all. So they took what they could, and I spent $400. They left me with a big  "I don't know." The vet literally could not say more than he didn't know what was wrong with her, and if I wanted to determine so, I would spend more without giving me an actual estimate, or even explain to me my options. Because of this, my cat suffered for the next four months.A couple months later, I had been saving up to go to a different vet and get a different opinion. While at work, I had a customer who worked at a vet and we started talking about my cat. She was more concerned than any of the doctors at Arlington Animal Hospital and gave better feedback than them without ever seeing her. She was upfront and explained that it seemed as though my cat was suffering from nerve damage, and I was looking to spending at least another $1000 to see what was wrong with her, and up to $4500 for surgery, which may not even work. And if that was a financial burden, my best bet was to put her to sleep because something is severely wrong.It took me two weeks to realize she was right, I had to do what was humane for my cat. I took her to a vet in Corona and right off the bat, they explained the same thing as my customer. That my cat had been in SEVERE pain, due to nerve damage, and the cost to figure it out what was wrong with her, would be at least another grand. The vet was surprised that we had let the issue go this far. Legally, he told me my options of running more tests and scans, saying it would be costly, and there would not be an assurance of relief. He also informed me that there was likely neurological damage, which meant she would only get progressively worse DESPITE treatment. He assured me that putting her to sleep was a viable, humane option. He was very validating and assuring that I was making the best decision for her.  Overall, if this vet had any consideration for their clients, they would've been upfront, they would've told me to figure out what was wrong, I'd probably have to spend way more than I could afford, they would've told me that my cat was in a lot of pain, and they would've given me options. The fact that they didn't even inform me that my cat was in so much pain is what distresses me the most. To me, that should be the ethical foreground of what a practice stands for. And if they can't do that, then maybe they don't even know what they're doing. Because to be a vet and let an animal suffer way more longer than necessary, maybe it shows that all  they care about is money. Read Less

I brought my dog here tonight and was REFUSED Services.  There people are not in business for the well being of your animals! I had a negitive experience  with them last summer and today when my pet got into meds I took him to get his stomach pumped.  They said because I gave a negitive Yelp Review last time they couldn't help my dog and sent me away! WOW, I wonder what kind of review they expect to get this time. So much for giving them a second chance to change my mind about there services. Read Less

Even though I had an appointment, and the place was almost empty, I had a bit of a wait to see the Dr. (about 40 minutes.) But the Dr. was quite thorough and seemed caring about my cat. I had a good experience, and she is much better now.Read Less

Arlington Animal Hospital was recommended by a family friend and I am so glad we took her advice. The doctors and staff are all warm, friendly people whom you can tell love what they do. Highly recommend. Read Less

Great place. Tried all the nearby vets and they would not take walk ins. My dog got sick last minute and they gladly saw him. Very fast service and affordable. Great staff as well. Definitely will be returning if my dog gets sick again. He's been happy and healthy for a month already (: Read Less

See Yelp for true reviews on this hospital. I don't know if these Facebook reviews are fabricated but based on their average of a 2 star Yelp rating, I suspect the Facebook ones are fake. I personally know a current client who has been charged over $9000 for two days of care for her injured dog, and has been threatened by the hospital that they will send her pet to the shelter if she does not pay their bill. Do your due diligence and check their Yelp reviews before you decide to go here. Read Less

Pretty amazing staff. Everyone is so compassionate, has integrity, and so kind. The first time we were here we had to put our dog down he was suffering they did everything they could do to help him. And because they are so caring we bring our other 2 dogs here for everything. Not only do they hold caring for our furry family in high regards the pricing is amazing as well. The care in which our furry family receives you would think that the pricing would be astonishingly high and that they are 24/7 it's a great animal hospital would refer them to anyone. Thank you staff at Arlington animal hospital your simply amazing. This place is where you go to get the highest quality of care for your pet. Read Less

I took in a very sick puppy on a Sunday, the doctor who examined my puppy obviously had not only expertise medical experience but also a common sense approach as she gently went over Chewy. I really appreciated the fact she was not looking to rack up bills for tests that would of been unnecessary at that point. I love the fact they are 24/7, they are very reasonable in their fees and the vets are caring, compassionate and as stated above experts in their fields. The vet techs are also so concerned, caring and helpful. Actually the whole staff has been very professional yet caring and helpful. Its a great place to take your pets. Read Less

Not only has one of my dogs had an orthopedic surgery done with Dr Saldana but two of my dogs have! He sat with me and explained all that was going to be involved pre op and post op and someone even called a few days after to check up on my Minnie and Roo. I knew the surgery was going to be expensive but I also knew the high quality of care I was getting with their cold laser and ventilator machines for anesthesia. My old lady is 11 and runs around like she was a puppy again, I'm extremely thankful for the care my kids received at the hospital. The techs in the back even made sure Roo went home with art on his cast when he had his fracture repair. Dr Stevenson has taken care of my Bunny Popcorn in the past and always took the best care and compassion with the exotics I randomly brought in. Best part is that they are 24 hours and there are Drs and techs there all day and night so if I ever need to I know where to go! Because in my family accidents happen and I need a hospital I can trust with my family petsRead Less

Don't take your pet here.. Especially if it's close to closing time. They saw 24 hrs, but no one is there with your pet overnight. My dog was very ill but unfortunately I arrived 1 hr close to closing. They spent more time reviewing the cost of this or that than helping my dog. He started bleeding out of his nose and they told me he was just scared. He was to have surgery in the morning .. But I later learned that hemangio sarcoma was a emergency surgery and shouldn't have waited. All night I had horrible thoughts about him dying and counted the minutes until they opened to tell them I was coming to bring him to another vet... They said "oh yeah, sorry , your dog didn't make it, he must've bled out during the night. Had they been honest and not try to get money from a surgery he would've died during... I would've put him down and held him , said goodbyes, humanely. Instead my poor boy suffered , bleeding out, alone in a cage. Furious. Cold hearted ... Don't go here!!!!Read Less

Where does one start to explain the rude uncaring staff that operate the front office of this Veterinary...Been coming to this hospital for over 20+ years have a lot of fond memories of the old staff and Dr. Hicks.  Guess it was Dr. Hicks that brought me back there today.My baby girl Bella a 2 year old Blue Nose Pit had picked up a tick and seemed maybe an infection was coming on.  So being a concerned I checked and did a walk in appointment was brought back promptly and met a very caring Dr. (female) but don't rememebr her name.  She found a tiny tick on her ear and removed it.I had also been concerned if my girl was just getting fat or possibly with puppies on the horizon.  It was discussed the types of testing blood and ultra sound.She also showed a concern to do a blood work up looking for any tick borne disease. Expressed concerns if she was pregnant we'd need alternative treatment than antibiotics, ect...Then the game changer doctor doesn't handle or know cost and sends in someone that really doesn't know cost or procedures either and proceeded to start hard selling me on these procedures.  I asked to see the list chose the blood test and ultra sound...   So...They immediately tell me to remove my leae and the place theirs on Bella and escort my girl out of the room... Man that was a heart ache for both of us!!!!!!They told me to wait in the obby, I sat there nearly an hour wondering what is going on with my Bellas so I finally approached the receptionist who state "  Og, perhaps she stressed and and their needing to let her calm down".... My calm, gentle giant stressing out.... The wheels in my head began to click... I asked its an ultra sound right ?  She said yes and checked with the back office staff and told me they were waiting for the doctor... Waiting for the doctor, my bellas was escorted away to be held, detained , locked up or what ever for an hour?  I asked why that was necessary and didn't even get a reply.It was the next 30 minutes that sealed the fate of the Arlington Animal Hospital for me!  I approached the counter again and asked how are things going with Bella?  She picked up a radio and chattered back to the back and was told they were prepping Bella now for the Ultra sound but waiting for the doctor. Seriously almost 2 hrs... So I asked if the ultra sound hasn't been preformed to bring me my dog, I would gladly pay for the incomplete test. She said that wouldn't be necessary.Over the radio the back asked why she stated " Its taking to long"  , I told her its not the time its the treatment of me and my dog.  I told her not once in all this time did anyone simple come out to tell me Bella is doing fine with any explanations. She told me  " ME THIS IS ANIMAL HOSPITAL NOT A PEOPLE HOSPITAL!" I told her that is  whats wrong you  people have no compassion for animals (NONE) these are our pets their family.  Her aplogy was " I'm sorry you feel that way...I was presented with a very fair and adjusted bill and told I wasn't charged for any of the preparation for the Ultra Sound.... Mind you they did not discuss the procedure at all... They shaved my dog... You bet she was stressed and I told them I should have been told I'd have opted for the costly blood test to check for the pregnancy.The finale was her comment that they only notify "EXPENSIVE SHOW DOGS!".if their going to shave....I feel so bad about putting my girl their their BS...  If you love and care for your pets Arlington Animal is the last place you should be taking them too!This is not the clinic it was when Dr. Hicks was here.  If I change one persons destiny by my post....

Our Donner dog and Lil Mama kitty are alive and well today because of the surgical expertise of Dr. Saldahna and the great care they received from the staff at Arlington Animal Hospital!! When I found a little dachshund who had been literally broken by careless neighbors I called and went to other great veterinarians who were available on a Saturday and they all told me to see Dr. Saldahna to repair his broken jaw. We now have our best friend and constant companion in this beautiful little dog and he is healthy and happy and you would never know he had been abandoned and left to die and suffer with a broken jaw once upon a time ... When our kitty recently got spooked and took off only to return to us missing part of her beautiful little face with the rest of it broken and mangled we immediately rushed her to the emergency care and once more Dr. Saldahna returned to us a whole and healing, happy creature who we weren't sure could survive her injuries when we left her in his care. I am eternally grateful for this man and his talents and skills. My life is made better and more joyful daily as a direct result of the work done by Arlington Animal Hospital. THANK YOURead Less

I just wrote a long review and it kicked it out. The short version is, I was told by this place that my cat's leg had to be amputated and that wasn't true. My regular vet and a nerve specialist both told me my cat would recover within 6-8 weeks. And he did. I could have spent thousands of dollars and my cat would have lost his leg had I listened to the people here. He ended up recovering his nerve damage (the only thing wrong with the leg) in 6 weeks.

First off I would like to say I made the mistake of panicking and going to the nearest animal hospital. What I should have done was read the reviews and drove 10 min further to get proper care for my dog. My experience was terrible from the start. When I arrived, everything about the place screamed unprofessionalism. There were 2 workers with their boyfriends visiting and rest of the staff members were very loud in the back. This is not the environment you want to be in when you're worried about your dog that just deficated a ton of blood. Secondly, the night vet gave me her lab results and xray and assured me that she needed to stay go get better. However, when I showed my regular vet the x-rays and told him the lab values he let me know that she would have been perfectly fine to go home on a blank diet while pushing water. So there went my first 1500 dollars on this visit. Lastly, one of the techs told us that pick up time for her would be between 4 and 6 am. However, when my boyfriend arrived at 5 to pick her up they charged him another 300 dollars because her pick up time was set for between 12 and 2 am. Save your time, your money, and your sanity.

Horrible, horrible, horrible! If I could give zero stars, I would. I will post notices on every website, share the information with our friends and organizations we belong to, and take this to the BBB. They don't care for animals. They care about the bottom line... money. Do not use this facility! Go to Barton Animal Hospital. They took an x-ray of our dog and blood work and charged our credit card twice. Once for $500.00, the other for $543.00. My husband was there for less than 20 minutes, and they never told my husband he was being charged the second amount. Waiting for the credit card receipts because they are thieves! Read Less

They took WONDERFUL care of my 6month old dog. He was admitted to their hospital for almost 3 days and the called me twice a day for updates. They were ALL so caring and well educated. I would highly recommend this place for care!! They even called after discharge to follow up on Luke :) Read Less

***WORST VET EXPERIENCE EVER. LOOKING UP THEIR LICENSE WITH THE STATE AND CALLING THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU.*** We called to ask if their Vet believed in anxiety meds for dogs as we adopted a German Shepherd that was a stray and her separation anxiety is so extreme we can barely leave the house and it's been 2 months. I have to work from home now to keep her from shrieking when I leave. It's beyond bad and we have multiple GSD and still have never seen this much anxiety in any of them. They said their Vet WOULD prescribe anxiety meds and we would need to be seen for a visit. We paid for an office visit which is higher than the other Vets in the area, and Dr. Sanchez said anxiety meds don't really help and we would need to see a behavior specialist. She agreed to write a prescription but said they don't carry these meds there. Why wouldn't a Vet hospital carry meds to treat their animals? Is it unrealistic to expect a hospital to actually carry medications? That information would have been nice to know BEFORE we chose them, but then she leaves the room and someone else comes in with an "estimate", she charged me for the office visit $42.00+ $165.00 to run blood work to see if the dog had any problems physically *first* so for $200.00 I could leave with NOTHING to help my dog. Dr. Sanchez already said my dog appeared healthy and that separation anxiety in dogs adopted from shelters is very common. So I am paying hundreds of dollars to determine what again? What a scam! Do they think people don't know when they are being hussled? I asked the receptionist why they didn't disclose over the phone that blood tests would be required to give my dog something to keep her calm? Plus, no meds were even available? A hospital with no meds? Really?? So we left with no help for our dog. This is a classic bait and switch technique. This place only cares about your money. Go absolutely ANYWHERE before you go here. They were not honest about believing in anxiety meds, they did not tell us they didn't even have meds there and available, they did not tell us it would be $200.00 because blood tests are mandatory. This place is so unethical. Plan to be there several hours waiting as well whether the waiting room is full or empty. We went there once before and left after waiting an hour and 45 minutes for one of our other dogs and still had not been placed in a room to see a Vet. Management is NON-EXISTENT. A front office supervisor is there to give you a complaint form and make excuses all day long about how different Vets make different judgement calls on how they are willing to treat and refused to acknowledge that they did not tell me about mandatory blood tests over the phone, so now that we know they lack any kind of good judgement or business mind to try to keep the pet owners feeling like their business is valued, hopefully you choose an office that genuinely cares about their animals and keeping your business *for life*. This is NOT the place. If you love animals and have a lot of animals, this is not the Vet for your family. It's all about up-selling and overcharging with them. They wasted my time and money. My dog received NO help today. If you go there, wait for the "estimate" that will leave you in total shock and disbelief. Remember my post when they present it to you. It's like being at a used car lot. If they are going to charge an arm and leg, the least they could do is make your pet comfortable. I let them vaccinate my chihuahua mix but I will never give them my families business again. What a foolish way to run your business right into the ground. Good luck to the shady owners. Read Less

My dog had a GI blockage over the weekend and had surgery Sunday night. The staff was great but I was not happy with the bill but what can you do in an emergency. I have since looked up the cost of the surgery my dog had on How much is it org and was pleased to find out that the price I was charged is within mid range. They took good care if her and she is home, on the mend and seems to feel pretty chipper already. They have some negative reviews but I hope everyone can keep things in perspective- a lot of their business is driven by emergencies which may not always have a great outcome. People are probably more driven to rate if they had a bad outcome and need to vent. I am grateful to Arlington Animal hospital for saving my Molly. Read Less

The owners of this Hospital pushed Doctor Valery Rebecca Drenning around and used her because she was such a nice, caring, hard working girl. She was so stressed that day (4/27/2015) on her way to work. She was hit from behind by two cars. It took her 75 days to die from the stress of him telling her that she used all her vacation time during this period. Her first seizure was on 6/8. It fractured off her humeral head. She choked to death ten feet away from me on 7/12. Thanks for running your hospital 24/7 with you and only two other doctors all 2014/2015 winter long! Just wanted to say I will always be thinking about you... Read Less
