Better than Banfield of course. Their staff is pleasant and attentive to my dogs and my questions. Prices seem okay. They offered thorough services but didn't pressure me when I only wanted minimal essentials. Read Less

I have been coming here for years and my mom even longer. Dr Gil and his staff are pretty amazing. I have never been to a clinic where I feel the staff genuinely cares about the people as much as the pets. If you are looking for a place to bring your pets, then look no further. Read Less

I have been with the animal clinic for 7 years with 2 dogs and always felt I was overcharged with the exception of the Thursday night shot clinic. After what happened yesterday I will not be returning. I was charged $743 for an exam,X-rays, blood work, penicillin and nausea medicine for my dog who had symptoms of Pyometra. Dr. Gil didn't believe it was that based on the blood work and the X-rays that didn't even show the uterus or the enlarged ovaries and stated everything else was normal. I was told to see if the antibiotics worked then spay my dog or she might still need surgery. Needless to say. I contacted another vet who stated that is outrageous pricing and that she probably needed surgery. My dog was not better this morning and I took my dog to the other vet and upon physical examination that I wasn't charged for I was told she needed surgery. Mind you she had thrown up and she wasn't eating or drinking and not wanting to move. I dropped her off at 9:30am and picked her up at 5:30. She had super enlarged ovaries and the pyometra was starting in her uterus. I thought she would be out of it but she came out running around happy to see me and ready for a treat. I will never take my pets to the animal clinic again. Read Less

Wonderful staff and very reasonable prices! I have a very fidgety pit mix that needs general anesthesia for teeth cleaning and nail trimming. I was nervous about the whole process since he had never been put under before, so they called me after the procedure finished and kept me updated on his recovery. They provided clear instructions on how to care for him after and sent a single supply of flea meds for free when the six-month supply was not available yet. I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone, especially owners that can't clean teeth and trim nails themselves because they have bigger dogs. Read Less

Would not recommend this vet to anyone. If you don't want to cut corners with your health, then don't do it with your pets either. I found one of their advertisements/coupons in one of those coupon ValPak mailers and thought I would give them a shot to get my pup neutered when he turned 1. The package is very deceiving and when filling out paperwork it asks if you want to "add" all of these items like pain medication, plastic cone, etc. Of course I want to add pain medication and if a cone if required so they don't lick their wound, then why wouldn't these items be included in the package to begin with?Anyway, when it was all over and done with maybe a few days to a week later I noticed that the incision site looked very red and swollen. I thought it would be best to have the same Vet who performed the surgery take a look. When I brought my pup in, he took him to a back room (dog parents not invited which is super weird) and came back and said he was fine and that it was normal. I was not going to accept that as an answer and requested that he look again where the incision was now leaking puss and tell me that this wasn't an infection. He said ok well if you want medication then I will give you a prescription... Ummm, what?! If that doesn't sound sketchy enough to you, then I don't know what is. After taking the medication my pup healed up just fine, but I would not recommend this vet to anyone, there is something very unsettling about this place and I don't trust the operation they are running here. STEER CLEAR! Read Less

Probably one of the best, most honest vets we've been to. I came here with Penny for a regular check up and some advice and I never felt like Dr. Gill was pressuring me or giving me the run around. He took his time to understand Penny and my concerns. He also shared pricing details with me which most vets don't do so they can be competitive. He definitely earned my trust. I would highly recommend him to anyone who cares about their pets. Read Less

My dog went in for dental cleaning. Unfortunately he needed a lot more than just cleaning since there was quite a bit of decay. The Animal Clinic kindly explained all details and why he needed what he did. I decided to give it a shot and I'm glad I did. They kept me informed while my dog was under and they were very sensitive to my wishes. They pulled several front teeth but fewer overall than originally anticipated. My dog now has sparkling clean teeth and his breath doesn't smell bad anymore! Read Less

Have been going to the Animal Clinic and Dr. Gill for many years now and have always been impressed with the kindness and professionalism of the team. Last week Dr. and staff helped me prepare my dog, Billie, for her return to Hawaii. The requirements are very strict and the paperwork is extremely detailed to import your pet. If you miss a step your dog could be quarantined for months at the airport! Thankfully, Dr. G. carefully completed her exam and the detailed health certificate. Billie was allowed to be released to me immediately upon arrival on Oahu. What a relief! Thank you all! Read Less

I was surprised to find negative reviews here. I've never had a bad experience with anyone at The Animal Clinic and my pets have always left healthier than they arrived. Since we started bringing our pets here, over the years we've had two dogs require surgery, the first due to cancer and the second because of a leg issue. The cancer, unfortunately, was a losing battle, but nevertheless the Dr's comfortably extended my dog's life so that we spent many months longer than we thought we had before things progressed to a point that he needed to be put down. That dog had been with me from kindergarten through my early high school years, and the final months were very meaningful for me and my family, and I think for the dog as well. He appreciated the pampering and home-cooked meals we spoilt him with towards the end if nothing else. As for the leg issue, the canine in question is back to running about happily and it seems that the surgery has done nothing but improve things for her. All in all, I suppose no one is perfect, but descriptors like "charlatan" or "incompetent" not only seem harsh to me, but are utterly incongruous with my personal experience here. Take that as you will. Read Less

Profoundly incompetent! Nearly killed my dog by merely taking a wild guess at my dog's problem. Then tried to sell me extremely over priced, worthless junk claiming them as necessary. All advice completely wrong. A simple blood test would have proved the correct diagnosis. Stay far, far away from this charlatan. Read Less

I feel they are expensive but competitive with other vets in the area.  I got several quotes and ended up taking my dog to a vaccination clinic at a local pet store for a fraction of the cost.  I have taken my dog here first to be spayed and second for dental cleaning and nail clipping.  The staff is very friendly and kind both to me and my dog.  I don't have any complaints.  Rather shocked to see many horrible reviews here.

If I could give zero stars I would! Worst Veterinary office ever! I took my cat to them when he was only a few months old because he was breathing funny. Without even barely touching my cat, the Vet(who i will not name)told me my cat only had furrballs and they would pass in a few months. Fast forward a couple months and my animals breathing condition worsens. I take him back to this clinic to be told that he has lung failure and that they would have never sent my cat home like this and that I didn't tell him the right information, completely trying to make me feel like I didn't take the proper steps to help my animal! Then for the next couple months I'm pushed around by this veterinary office. I spent THOUSANDS of dollars on xrays and medication for these people to keep telling me "we don't know what's wrong but keep spending money on more xrays." Then one day when I went to get my animals medication refilled they told me that they would know longer prescribe his meds unless I paid for another $300 xray. Finally I had enough & could no longer keep spending that money. So, I took my cat off the meds & guess what HE IS COMPLETELY FINE! I think the medication(which they described as the strongest meds you can give animals)began to make him lethargic! I was robbed by these thieves for months! They fed off my vulnerability and took as much money from me that they knew they could get out of me.  I was a fool for listening to them for so long! This experience definitely made me lose faith in the veterinary business. I warn anybody and everybody to stay far away from this clinic! Read Less

THIS IS THE WORST VET I HAVE EVER SEEN! SAVE YOUR PETS LIFE AND TAKE THEM SOME WHERE ELSE!If you have a problem with this VET please file a complaint at: vmb.ca.govWhich governs the license of veterinary doctors. Veterinary Medical Board (VMB) California  is to protect consumers and animals.This is the worst vet yet. My mother took her 15 year old cat to this vet, and they had the balls to charge her $300.00 for all of the lab work, diagnosed him with Diabetes. My mother is living on a fixed income so her only solution was to put her baby down. I have a diabetic cat and daughter, but since this vet clinic ONLY WANTS YOUR MONEY AND DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR PETS! They refused to write a prescription for the insulin. They also Diagnosed him with an infection, but REFUSED TO PRESCRIBE HIM SIMPLE ANTIBIOTICS.Their claim is that since we are treating him at home, they are refusing to provide him with prescriptions to keep him alive. IF THIS VET WAS A MEDICAL DOCTOR HE WOULD LOSE HIS LICENSE OR BE SUED ALREADY! I have been taking care of my diabetic cat for 6 years using this method which is recommended by Banfield Pet Hospital. Clearly I am doing something right if i can keep a child and a cat alive who are both diabetic (Daughter is type 1)!After seeing the other negative reviews on this business, I completely understand the motives of this VET. SAVE YOUR PETS LIFE AND TAKE THEM TO A VET WHO ACTUALLY CARES! Read Less

Dr. Chahal resolved an ear infection problem with my cat Bijou last week. I had never been to The Animal Clinic before but was impressed with their professionalism and courtesy. I will visit them again. Read Less

If I just for the day was the omnipotent ruler of the dog services world, I would make sure no dog-abusing, mutt-wrangling, low-life never worked in an animal-related industry. Again, I will present this in point form for easier navigation. 1. First of all, Dr.Gill is a nice man but I have -5000 oz of trust his veterinary judgment. (-5000 is 5000 less than 0)2. Dogman is allergic to the world and has frequent ear infections, reasons for which have already been discovered. Have had dogman for a while, understand his problems. Unfortunately, the vet didn't want to believe me so he would always suggest pricey alternative medicine. Come on...I know you're "looking for the best outcome for my dog" (pfft, yea right) but I don't have a money tree buried in my a*s. I can't just pull out $300+ per month for a medicine that MAYBE, MIGHT work for this particular breed. Also, what is up with suggesting a 1.5 year old dog to get EAR surgery...? Anyway, dog owners: if your dog has allergies, please don't settle for steroids and steroid shots. Many vets do that as the first line of defense to reduce inflammation. But steroid digestion destroys the K9 liver. Every time we visited, and that's many times, my trusty friend got a steroid shot.3. The main reason I'm pouring so much hot hate-lava all over this place is because: I don't like when I leave my happy, excited, loving dog that never jumped, growled or aggressed towards anyone but take back a crazy, aggressive, scared and scary dog after a week. He would jump if I touched him, even lightly, actually tried to hurt me when I was feeding him, and would not listen to any directions. (This is a dog that would put away his toys when I asked...) I'm not sure what exactly they did to him but it is now 9 months later and dogster is finally a little calm and back to normal. Even still when you want to pet his head, he bows down in fear of being hit...4. Do your pet a favor and take him somewhere that you know he probably won't get abused. It's grinds my gears to no end that once I told them what's up the answer I received was "I don't know what you mean, we don't have anyone that abuses dogs. Goodbye"Sorry to hate all over your clinic but you broke my friend. Read Less

I have been a happy client of Dr. Chahal for 4 or 5 years. My 3 cats have gotten good care and I have gotten good advice about how to feed them right and provide them with proper preventive care. I as well as my cats are older and they all need veterinary care. My oldest needs meds for arthritis. The other 2 have occasional ear and skin problems. They are all on special diets recommended by Dr. Chahal. I really appreciate the pleasant environment and compassionate care givers at The Animal Clinic. Read Less

The veterinary care provided by Dr. Chahal and his staff for each of my pets has been outstanding. From the time I walk in the staff is friendly and helpful. Waiting time is minimal. Once in the exam room the techs review their understanding of the purpose of the visit. They are gentle and helpful with all my questions. In no way have I ever felt rushed or left without an understanding of the exam or procedures. Dr. Chahal is always terrific. Read Less

My cat Tiger needed a dental cleaning badly. He is 11 years old and can be a little cranky. Dr. Chahal and his staff handled him gently and treated him competently and compassionately. Now that Tiger’s teeth are cleaned and his gums are looking healthier, I am ashamed I put it off so long. I am so glad I went to The Animal Clinic and will not hesitate to take Tiger there for any kind of future problem. Read Less

Dr. Chahal and his staff were incredible. We were unable to visit our regular vet and we were immediately given an appointment at their facility. Our dog was extremely ill but we did not realize the seriousness at the time we started our vacation. Through his caring nature and competent staff we felt he provided us with all the available medical and emotional options to help us make a decision that would be best for our dog. Although we had just met Dr. Chahal made us feel as if we were part of their family. Read Less

I went to this clinic needing a competent diagnosis of my dog's health problem, which was clearly quite serious.  What I got was the most unprofessional, profoundly incompetent and utter scam efforts and "advice" possible, along with attempts to sell me ridiculously expensive but worthless "Veterinarian" brand dogfood (containing principally completely indigestible corn meal and such).  This quack of a vet did not even think to do a blood test or anything potentially useful but merely looked at some pictures that had some slight resemblance to my puppy's problem and simply assumed that was good enough (it was most definitely not "good enough", and had I not taken him to a competent vet, my dog would have died a horrible death), then charged me nearly $300 for nothing of any value whatever.  I left mad as Hell, knowing that I had been taken by yet another of a recent generation of vets using their state license to con and massively cheat unwary and unknowledgeable clients.  This vet has no sincere interest in animals or their health, only the money.  Avoid him utterly.

My cat Molly and I have been to see Dr. Chahal at The Animal Clinic several times over the past few years. We are always treated well. We get professional veterinary care in a compassionate and friendly atmosphere. In this area it is hard to find vets whose prices are reasonable and still provide top-notch service. Kudos. Read Less
