I've been coming here for many years with my pets, and they have always been great. They care about our pets and take very good care of them. I have cats and a dog. I've brought them to Princeton from the beginning of their lives, to the end when they had illnesses that were difficult to deal with. They've always been compassionate and caring about the health and wellbeing of my pets. Read Less

This is a sweet veterinary clinic that really takes great care of my dog Fluffy. Dr. Carol Lah and all the staff is patient, caring and knowledgeable. My dog has been here many times for routine and urgent care and the diagnosis and treatments have always been correct the first time around. That should tell you something about the caliber of folks at this clinic. They even do kind follow up calls to check on your pet and remind you of appointment, something rare these days. Don't take your pet to a big chain and get ripped off with unnecessary tests, support small business and make a relationship with a local vet who takes pride in her work. Couldn't be happier with this clinic. Read Less

My Yellow Labrador had suffered what I thought was a foxtail.  I called Princeton Veterinary Clinic and they immediately got him in for a same day appointment.  I couldn't ask for a better doctor to treat my boy.  Dr. Carol Lah was very thorough about her plan on how she was going to treat Bailey.  After being diagnosed with a large ingrown hair infection in his paw, Dr. Lah took the time to provide me with detailed instructions on how and when to treat Bailey.  I would highly recommend Dr. Lah as your veterinarian.  She does a fantastic job of taking care of your family member.

I've been to many veterinary places with my pets over the years and this one is the best one! They "listen" to you and your concerns and they do it with a smile and good advice. I highly recommend Princeton Veterinary Clinic. My fave is Doctor Sanders! She never rushes you out the door and she does things in front of you (instead of taking your fur kid in the back where you cannot see!) Stephanie the receptionist is very knowledgeable and courteous in person and over the phone. I hit the "like" button and now Cupcake gets a free nail clipping!! Yay!! Read Less

Staff was super nice and make me feel very comfortable throughout the new process of my 8 week yorkie coco, dr.la (not sure if thats how its spelled) was sweet and nice with both of us, and answered all my questions..... Going back saturday for her first shots :s Read Less

I love this vet clinic! Every member of the staff treats us & our favorite four-legged friend with care and respect. Our dog is very snobbish when it comes to liking people and she always looks forward to going to the Princeton Veterinary Clinic! :) Read Less

Dr. Sanders and Dr. Ku cared for my 2 chronically ill cats for 4 years since we moved here from the Midwest. I can't say enough about their kindness and compassion, and the quality of care my cats received. I was very fortunate to have found Princeton Veterinary Clinic. The doctors and the staff - all very professional and knowledgeable. They love our pets almost as much as we do! Read Less

I'm new to CA so I haven't established any doctors yet. I woke up Sunday and my cat was not feeling well. Found Princeton on Yelp. They got me right in and how great they are open 7days a week. Everyone was so sweet and caring. We got Pixie all fixed up. The follow up was amazing and even emailed me the x-rays in case I had to got to an urgent care after hours to reference. It's nice to have someone go above and beyond. Read Less

I learned of Princeton Veterinary Clinic a few years ago when I asked my then current vet of alternatives to emergency care in the event something happens on a weekend.PVC has weekend hours on a non-emergency basis.  I brought our cat in a few years ago for an abscess and have come back ever since.  Today, (Sunday) our cat started panting and vomiting.  It was 2:15 on a Sunday and there are few places open.  I called Princeton and brought the cat in.  They examined him immediately and treated him.   When they were finished and brought him back to me, even the cat was happy.   We came home, he started to eat and is currently asleep on his favorite chair.The staff is wonderful and I am so glad that I could take my cat to the folks that know him on a Sunday.

I had a bad experience here with my cat. My cat was very sick, I was very upset and the vet acted like she didn't give a rat's a**! She could have at least pretended to care!  Sometimes even if there's no hope, it would be nice just to get a little compassion, not act like it's no big deal that my kitty is near death! Read Less

Princeton Vet and Dr. Sanders have been our family pet care provider for almost 30 years. They have provided each of our animals with care specific to their needs and have done so in such a loving and attentive way. I wouldn't go to any other vet! Read Less

Princeton Vet and Dr. Sanders have been our family pet care provider for almost 30 years. They have provided each of our animals with care specific to their needs and have done so in such a loving and attentive way. I wouldn't go to any other vet!My brother's dog was allergic to everything. Had been to over 15 vets and tried many different things. We finally flew the dog down here from Oregon so Dr. Sanders could diagnose her and come up with a solution. At this point, the dog was miserable and hated life. We did not think she had much longer to live.  After Dr. Sanders saw her and gave her a new routine/food/drugs, she thrived to the ripe old age of 14! Without Princeton, this never would have happened.Princeton is a bit out of the way from where I live, but it is worth the trip. The staff is amazing; the doctors care and they are always (or almost always open!) which is so different from most facilities. Read Less

We love Dr Sanders and the staff at Princeton Veterinary Clinic. They have cared for all 3 of our large dogs and are especially good with our Doberman Roscoe. Everyone is very professional and caring. They always seem to be able to fit us infor an emergency and have helped us through a few scary situations. They are located across from OSH on Blossom Hill Road in San Jose. Read Less

This vet clinic was recommended to me a few years ago by a friend who treasures her cats. I had been going to The Cat Hospital in Campbell (which I do NOT recommend - they run it more like a marketing machine than a caring veterinary practice). Princeton was a great recommendation. Last year Dr. Ku saved my 14-year-old cat Mickie's life, for which I am very grateful. She considered the science behind Mickie's problem rather than jumping to the convenient, terminal conclusion that Mickie had cancer. Both Mickie and my other cat, Max, are still going strong! Recently I moved out of the area, and I doubt that I'll find a clinic as professional and organized as Princeton in my new town. Read Less

I had a very negative experience here today.  My dog was experiencing some respiratory issues so I brought her in for an expert opinion.  The Dr. had an o.k. demeanor, reasonable prices and a diagnostic process that seemed to make sense with the exception of the following:  I wanted to pay for all services rendered at the time of service and not give out my home address.  The Dr. would not provide services for my dog without having my correct home address.  She took my payment for the initial consultation and chose not to provide needed service to my pet.  My reasons for not wanting to give out my address are simple: I do not plan on staying in S.J. for much longer and if you get a Rabies shot for your dog (which you should), the law requires that the vet turn over your home address to the city.  I do not plan on registering my dog in S.J. because I will likely not be staying here much longer.  It is sad to see someone place bureaucratic process above the health of a loved pet.  I hope none of you choose to use this office for their service because they simply do not deserve your loyalty.

The vets are compassionate, caring and respectful of individual families' needs and financial constraints. I appreciate too that appointments are available on weekends. All the vets there are outstanding. Read Less

I've been taking my pets to Princeton for 27 years. This is the most loving, compassionate clinic I've ever been too. Dr's, Sanders, Ku, Salazar and retired Dr. Morrow have giving my pets the most excellant care they have ever recieved. Stephanie, Tanya, Madeline, Christina and all the staff from the front office to the back office have treat my pets like their own. From simple boarding and baths to much difficult treatments and procedures to helping my pets cross the rainbow bridge. I know they are in good hands that care about them and have my families best interest at heart. As long as I have furry friends Princeton Veterinary is who will take care of them. Read Less

I'm sry for people's experiences here with Dr. Sanders I myself couldn't be more happy . I have a very small yorkie he needed his tail redocked because some small bones started to grow out of the end , my vet at the time did the surgery and it seemed to go well , until we brought him home.The vet I had didn't do any pain Managment and gadget was acting so strange crying and putting his head in a corner and just standing there shaking all of which is not like him. I went back to my vet with gadget and asked for help he just put him on medicine and told me I should take a pill. So for two days this went on and I finally had enough I reached out to Dr.Sanders and she was so kind to me and gadget. Not sure how I got so lucky gadget was really on deaths door !! But Dr. Sanders believed in me and what I was telling her and we did some test took him off the medicine which by the way was twice the dose it should have been. We worked with a specialist and yes it cost a lot but she saved my gadget and I'm so grateful to her and all her lovely staff and the people who helped us. Just because she listened gadget is still here!!!!!!! Dr. Sanders is GREAT Read Less

I want say the prices are a bit high, but I've never really shopped around. It seems like everything is expensive these days. My wife and I  have been taking our pups here since we got  them. They always treat them well, and the pups seem to like everyone here. It's a clean facility, the employees are all nice, and they show a genuine concern for the well being of animals. Our dogs remain happy and healthy thanks to The Princeton Vet. Clinic, so, kudos to them. If you need a Vet, check these folks out... Read Less

I've waited too long to do this, but finally changing vets.  I've had enough of this place.  I have been taking my pets to Princeton as long as I've lived in the area (about 15 years).  they are expensive, and I think, do too many unnecessary tests.  Oh, and Dr Sanders nearly killed my cat... A couple years ago, my daughter got a new kitten.  We went to Princeton for vacinations.  That night, the cat started having seizures.  the vet (dr sanders) called it "coincidence."  So he is on medication FOREVER to control the seizures.  the vet requires regular, frequent exams and blood tests to prescribe the meds.  At first, they were sending me to a special pharmacy in santa clara for them, saying there were no alternatives.  The meds cost about $120 per month!!! after way too long of this, i did some research on my own and made more of a fuss.  then suddenly they decided they could order from an online place, that costs about $50 for a 6-month supply!!! of course, the vet always wants to prescribe only small amounts so they can ensure maximum $$ for them on office visits (which she insists on before she will do a refill)Well that was all fine, until they decided to change the dose, and grossly miscalculated things.  Dr Sanders ended up prescribing a dose that was 5x stronger than it should have been, and nearly killed our cat.   I spent days watching him suffer, thinking he would die any minute... and she indicated it was very possible that would happen.  Hundreds of dollars in vet bills.  Finally, another vet in the practice discovered the error.  She didn't seem to want to admit what had happened, but did end up telling me.  At that point, they stopped charging me for the follow up visits. And mysteriously, Dr Sanders stopped seeing my pets. I eventually had to ask about a refund for all the bills I paid for the vet's mistake - they sure as heck weren't volunteering to pay for their own screw up.  They did give back the money (eventually), but it didn't get me back the added money paid to the emergency clinic.  And Dr Sanders has never even appologized!!! No, she just doens't see my animals anymore... they just shuffled me to the other doc and pretended it didn't happen.  How can you make such a huge error and not even take the time to say "i'm sorry"?!!?! So my cat is about out of meds again... and they want $275 to do an exam and extensive blood panel.  Just to be able to refill his meds (which are an extra cost).  Oh, and they say he needs his vaccines.  The ones that caused this whole mess in the first place? I don't think so...  we have an appt with a new vet for later today.  Hoping they are honest and competent people.  Cuz the folks at princeton just seem to be after your $$$$. Read Less

Okay so I will admit that I took way too long to put this review up. I recently have just started writing reviews, but have wanted to do it for this vet's office for a long time. It still makes me really mad when I think about how poorly Dr. Sanders treated me and my sick dog. We started taking our puppy here when we first got him. He is 2 now. He got neutered there and everything.So my horrible experience I had there was when my dog got sick and got diarrhea really bad. I took him in and right away they started running all of these tests which of course we got charged a ton for. I was on the phone with my fiance discussing who was going to pay for what, and what we wanted to pay for when I was in the room. We were both kind of frustrated and didn't want to pay for anything that was not necessary.  My fiance was actually in his car driving on the way to the vet's office. Dr. Sanders was there and overheard my conversation. We had a little small argument. Basically I was worried about my dog, and he just wanted to make sure that we didn't get ripped off. My fiance had arrived and came in the room with us. Dr. Sander's was very rude to him when he got there, and asked him to leave the room. My fiance was obviously just as worried about our dog as well and took that very offensively.  Him and Dr. Sander's went back and forth about it for a minute, and then she decides to 86 us from the office permanently. I mean my dog even got sick while we were in the room... so her best interest obviously isn't for the dog, but all about the money for her. I think the reason she didn't want to let my fiance in the room was because she knew he was not going to let me pay for all of the test that she wanted us to pay for.So we ended up leaving finding out that he tested negative for the ones we agreed to pay for, but still no solution for my sick little pup. After that in the same day we took him over to our new vet that we love and still use. The staff there is super caring, and I never feel like they are just trying to get as much money out of us as possible. I had Princeton fax my dogs paperwork over, and the new vet took care of us. I did get even a little bit more upset with Princeton once I got to the new office. On our paperwork they wrote across it "Not Allowed Here Anymore" I swear Dr. Sander's did that on purpose to make us look bad. The funny thing in the end is that my dog just had an upset stomach. Now that he is two years old we have learned that his tummy is super sensitive. Even if he gets the tiniest piece of human food. He gets sick like that. We have a prescription that we keep on hand for him.If you want to find a vet who cares more about the pet then the money I do not recommend this office. It wasn't just about that though. I found it very rude how the Dr. treated me and my dog. She might not of liked what my fiance had to say but she didn't have to disrespect me. Read Less

I have a new puppy and brought her here for her initial exam. Dr Ku was nice but didn't inspire confidence with her continual use of "um" and "this seems short (the exam), am I missing something?" She used the later statement at least twice.The above is passable since she did seem to cover everything, but what isn't acceptable is that I dropped off a stool sample on our second visit and it wasn't until our third vaccination appointment 3 weeks later that they informed me my dog has Coccidia. Seriously... My dog has been carrying around a possible zoonotic disease for 3 weeks and they didn't feel the need to call me to come down and pick up her anti-parasitics, or even bother letting me know that her fecal matter has something contagious to other dogs. So I have been taking my puppy to puppy classes/socials possibly spreading her parasite to other puppies, but even worse she has been 'suffering' herself for three weeks. This to me seems very wrong. They don't have to love my dog, but they should at the very least inform me of positive lab results and tell me to come down and pick up her medication.Edit - I don't really log into yelp that often so this is my first chance to update my review of Princeton Vet Clinic.  A few days after the above exam, and a day or so after this review was posted, I received a call from Dr. Sanders who personally apologized for their failure in service.  She took full responsibility and did an excellent job in explaining how things went awry without attempting to downplay or shift blame for what had happened.  I wanted to add this to the review as I know very few people who will stand up like that and not attempt to justify what happened in the slightest.  I did go back to the clinic a few weeks later for the conclusion of my puppy's vaccinations which had been pre-paid for.  During this visit my puppy was seen by Dr. Sanders and she did again apologize for their error.  This was the first time she examined my puppy and I have to admit, she seemed like an extremely knowledgeable and capable veterinarian.  What happened to me does seem like a fluke, and assuming I could schedule my visits to see Dr. Sanders I might consider going back.  From my albeit very limited experiences, had they not royally messed up I would give Dr. Ku 3 stars and Dr. Sanders 4.  That said I am on the fence about returning and giving them another chance.

We've taken our 11 year old dog to Princeton since we adopted him 9+ years ago and have been insulted every single time we've gone in about his teeth and how he's going to "DIE" if we don't anesthetize him and clean his teeth.  He eats, plays, chews and is healthy, but if I didn't brush my teeth for 60-70 years, my teeth would probably have tartar also!  We actually brush his teeth about 1-3 times/week and yet they tormented us.  One time they gave us a "complimentary" teeth cleaning while he was already under anesthesia and we ended up at the emergency vet clinic 2 nites later with a very sick dog with a swollen muzzle, who had to be on antibiotics and didn't eat for a few days AND we had a several hundred dollar bill for this emergency visit.We left Princeton after being told for the last time what horrid owners we are and went to another animal hospital where we were told his teeth are fine, gums are not inflamed, yes there's tartar, but that's to be expected and if he's eating and is happy, he's fine....which interestingly is the exact same thing I"ve been saying for years!  (I'm a human nurse, so it just made sense)Never again will we walk in there....they're trying hard to make a living, and while I get that, not on my dime!

I love Princeton Veterinary Clinic.  I wish I would have known about them a long time ago.Dr. Ku is very attentive and loving toward my cats.  I have been to many different vets in the past and have never been as happy as I am now.The cost is reasonable (in fact much less than other places I had tried)The staff is friendlyThe facility is cleanI would (and have) recomended them to many of my family and friends.

I moved to the area around December 2008.  Since living around the corner from Princeton Vet, I've been there around 4 or 5 times or more.  This includes a spay and a big skin operation.   The staff there are great and remember all my doggies and puppies.  One of the new owners of my puppies went in for shots and the staff still remembered the puppy!  I love all the personal attention they give especially compared to where I went before.  I've only had Dr. Sanders so I can't say anything about the other Vets, but Dr. Sanders was very knowledgeable and answered my question before I remembered to ask!  She even does follow up calls! Their price are competitive, but definitely cheaper than were I used to go.  The medicines I have received are reasonable priced and they can offer alternatives if the name brand one is too expensive.  I haven't left there without dog's problem being fixed or explained.   The hours there are great!  I don't know when exactly they open, but they close at 6pm, are open 7 days a week, and they don't charge extra (like for Sunday appointments).   Also, make sure you ask for an estimate before they perform any surgeries or exams.  They post signs there telling you  to do so, which is quite refreshing.  In the past, I've found out the total when I checked out and nearly fainted every single time.Overall, I have recommended Princeton to friends, my doggy meetup and would recommend Princeton to any yelpers.
