Hardin Animal Hospital
Stockton, California
General Info
Stockton's Hardin Animal Hospital functions as an artist's studio where veterinarians manipulate temperature, tone, texture, and light to deliver care to animals across California. Initial moments serve as a period for observation without physical interaction. Team members observe pets as they investigate corner spaces and react to gentle sounds while positioning themselves in response to movements. The diagnostic flow system undergoes real-time customization. In instances where pets either hold their breath during eye examinations or react to neck contact by flinching, veterinary staff modify the visit sequence. Owner input enhances every medical decision through observations of their pet’s response to wind conditions and their frequency of sleep space adjustments alongside contact initiation at home. Hardin Animal Hospital provides a suite of services including diagnostics, pain modeling, mobility screening, environmental allergy assessment, preventive planning and long-term stabilization for chronic conditions. Animals recovering from trauma or overstimulation can benefit from services divided into multiple time slots combined with decompression breaks. The timing patterns combined with home social settings create complex influences on both result communication and work speed. Follow-up appointments depend on pets' recovery patterns instead of specific dates because they are scheduled according to how animals rebalance during their post-care days. Instruction is given to owners on detecting post-visit anomalies such as room avoidance behavior coupled with reduced stretching movements and delayed vocal responses. The opportunity for communication remains available to make adjustments whenever routines change or symptoms emerge slowly. Through attentive observation of subtle signals between each heartbeat and quiet moment, Hardin Animal Hospital provides veterinary services to Stockton and nearby Californian communities by understanding what pets display and owners perceive.

I interned at Hardin for a couple of weeks and what I saw impressed me. The sad truly cares about all the animals they care for and they take care to show the owners how much they care. They do great work in carrying for all their patients and truly love what they do. They also understand that vet care is not cheap and do their best not to gouge your wallet when charging for services.

My family and I have been bringing our pets here for years, most recently however, one of my cats came down with some sort of eye infection (I assume from getting scratched or something) and I brought him in initially to get a shot of antibiotics and some eye ointment. This worked for a few days but suddenly Wednesday night he had a fever again and it looked as if the infection had spread to his other eye. So we took him in Thursday morning and he ended up staying overnight to get a nice continuous dose of antibiotics. This is one of my biggest fears because you never know how your pet will be treated, you aren't there to protect him/her, and on top of being in a weird and new environment without your family and their smells, they feel crappy. But I know my kitty was treated well because when we picked him up the next day, I could hear the women that went to get him in the back talking to him so sweetly. It was comforting to know that they not only didn't abuse my cat but treated him kindly. Lastly, vet bills are the biggest reason people end up not taking their pets to the doctor when they need to but I can assure you that this place is extremely affordable and it's not at the loss of service quality. Thank you for taking care of my furry baby, words couldn't describe my eternal gratitude.

This veterinary hospital is OUTSTANDING!!! The Dr and his staff are so kind, caring and generous. They saved our Springer Spaniels life! We took our 6 yr old Cindi in because she wouldnt eat and she was drinking A LOT of water and throwing it up. She was in full blown liver failure. Dr said he could keep her for a few days on IV meds for $800. There was a 50/50 chance after treatment that she may not make it. We were forced to make a decision i dont ever want to go through again. We didnt have the funds to get treatment for her. We were going to have to put her down. I was devasted. She is my baby!!!! But when we told the Dr we had to let her go he asked us to give him a couple days with her at less then half the original price quoted to see if he could save her and he did!! She is doing great!! Thank you Hardin Vet Hospital!

Dr. Vicuna is the BEST! He takes such good care of every animal that goes in there. I brought my baby girl Boxer Mix in when she was soooo sick. Most people wouldn't immediately put their face up to a random dogs face (especially her breed). He did though! He could tell she was feeling sick and put his face right up to hers and let her give him kisses! It was so sweet! She's gone there for any check-ups, I had her fixed there, and she will always go there for everything!

My family and I have brought our pets to Dr. Vicuña for over 20 years. He has always been patient and thorough with our beloved animals and the many rescues and fosters we've brought in over the years, some of whom as he has so humorously put it, "pay his bills with all their problems"! Many of the rescues we brought in were in terrible health and we have always gotten sound advice and excellent service at very agreeable rates. Dr Vicuña earnestly cares about the animals (two and four-legged) that come into his clinic, and it shows. We highly recommend him.Just after wroting my original review, on New Year's Day, our family cat was attacked by a loose pit bull. (Must be the owner not the breed, right?) Dr Vicuña and his staff emitted him right away. The cat had to stay the weekend with a promise that they would call the next day if it wasn't looking good. The cat's temperature was very low and he was ripped open pretty badly. When we didn't receive the call, we were all so relieved. Our cat came home with a an impressive amount of sutures and is making a fast recovery. Thank you so much to Dr Vicuña and staff for saving our cat.

So I been coming here to take my pug for over 10 years. They always took such good care of my dog, they saved her life couple of times. Once when she was younger, and another time when she needed an emergency spay at 13 years old because of infection. I was so scared I was going to loose her. However she recovered, and was a happy pug! I would bring her in just for check ups, because she was a senior dog. I loved how the staff all knew her name, she would wag her tail and say hi to them all. So I knew they have treated her well with love. But just like all good things, they have to end. My dog was 14 years old when she died. It was difficult to handle emotionally but the vet took such good care of her. And supported us through a difficult time. If I ever get a pet, I will take them to Hardin vet, they truly love animals.

Today I had to take one of my fur babies to the vet. I cannot express my gratitude for Hardin Animal Hospital and Dr. Patricio Vicuna enough. He, throughout all my years of having him treat my animals, has always been compassionate for the animal firstly and secondly holds nothing back when it comes to the needs of your baby. No sugar coating, just an honest, caring man that proves he loves animals beyond a paycheck. Our appt was made this morning, I went in and my baby Ruby needed emergency surgery to be spayed due to a really bad infection that occurs in female dogs. Any longer and she would have had to be put down. As a mother, and avid animal lover, I could not feel more at ease with her in his care. He even personally went back to the office and called me this evening to let me know how she is doing. I dont know many veterinarians who would make a personal follow up call and complete the surgery so late in the day. The Universe and God are great. Thank you to Dr. Pat and his wonderful staff!

I had a friend whose black lab was seriously injured in an accident yesterday brought his dog to this place to see what could be done to save her. The vet there REFUSED to treat her and turned them away because they were about to close for the day. Therefore the owner had to watch in horror as his companion passed away while suffering in severe pain. Great ethics for a vet. You should be ashamed of yourselves. I would caution anyone, if you value the life of your four legged companion do not take them to this plce.

I brought my dog in for a surgery to remove a tumor or mass on his neck and spent over $600 dollar. In the beginning i thought everything was until they collected the money. The stitches was sloppy and deformed look like a half ass job. For over three weeks i repeatedly came here because my dog was not healing and his stitches keep opening up. After continues visit about my dog concern i felt that there were irritated with me and don't care about my dog needs. So I decided to find a another vet which was California Dog & Cat Hospital had to do the surgery again. This time it was money well spent after about a week my dog was fully recovered and quality of skills was far better then the vet here. I advise others not to come here, well for surgeries if it the case.

Dr. Vicuña came highly recommended by a family member. So after bring extremely disappointed in another vet in Stockton my husband and I decided it was time for a change. I immediately saw his concern with what my dogs skin concerns were and told me of another food to try and a strict diet. Queenie has had major improvement and with no harmful steroids. Queenie also suffers from horrible ear infections, upon this last exam Dr. recommend surgery to help relieve our poor baby from this constant reoccurring problem. I immediately panicked but was very surprised with a very affordable price. The staff and Dr. Just seam to actually care and want to help. Will add to this review after my fur babies 10 day check up!

Hardin Hospital is an accommodating facility right from when you step in. I had an appointment at 11:00 AM and all I had to do when I walked in was announce that, and they placed my dog and I in a separate room for a follow up. I had to come here for my dogs skin condition which a hospital in Sacramento (not naming them) was no help and took a lot of money and had us in and out of their facility (charging each time). The very first visit here the doctor announced he specialized in skin support and conditions which is what we were exactly looking for. The blood test here cost us $100 to see what our dog could be potentially allergic to, the other place was trying to charge us $600, huge price difference.Right from week one improvement was noticed and my dog's skin was becoming better. If you have a dog with a skin condition or issue, I HIGHLY recommend coming here. It is located in Stockton but well worth the drive. Meds cost us another $38, special shampoo was another $30, and skin supportive food was another $50 for a 5lb bag. All in all ended up with a $500 bill, and results are astounding. At the Sacramento pet hospital spent well over $1,000, and had no improvements.Thanks Doc.

Came to this place for our pit, when he got his first shots, treatment for Parvovirus and microchipping. They are a friendly establishment with a wonderful vet that was very informational and kind. I went in today for Reeko's second shots and microchipping, I was in and out of there within 30 mins. I do wish that I got to see the vet though. I only saw the vet tech and the receptionist girls. When we went in a year ago, Reeko caught parvovirus and we couldn't get him to rehydrate enough to the point where he would get better so we went to Hardin for help. They did any amazing job, they kept him for a week and back to his original self. Our experience have been good so far.

Dr Vicuna loves animals and it is very apparent. I had to bring my Yorkie in several times because she was very ill and I knew she was in good hands. When it was time to let her go, he showed she and I the greatest of respect and it made a small part of my pain a bit more bearable. I will miss her so much but I know it was the right thing to do because I know if there was anything the doctor could have reasonably done, he would have. He's not there just to run "tests" and empty your wallet.The staff is sweet and considerate of your needs. I highly recommend the Hardin Animal Hospital for their professionalism, compassion and value.

Hardin Animal Hospital
Stockton, California
General Info
Stockton's Hardin Animal Hospital functions as an artist's studio where veterinarians manipulate temperature, tone, texture, and light to deliver care to animals across California. Initial moments serve as a period for observation without physical interaction. Team members observe pets as they investigate corner spaces and react to gentle sounds while positioning themselves in response to movements. The diagnostic flow system undergoes real-time customization. In instances where pets either hold their breath during eye examinations or react to neck contact by flinching, veterinary staff modify the visit sequence. Owner input enhances every medical decision through observations of their pet’s response to wind conditions and their frequency of sleep space adjustments alongside contact initiation at home. Hardin Animal Hospital provides a suite of services including diagnostics, pain modeling, mobility screening, environmental allergy assessment, preventive planning and long-term stabilization for chronic conditions. Animals recovering from trauma or overstimulation can benefit from services divided into multiple time slots combined with decompression breaks. The timing patterns combined with home social settings create complex influences on both result communication and work speed. Follow-up appointments depend on pets' recovery patterns instead of specific dates because they are scheduled according to how animals rebalance during their post-care days. Instruction is given to owners on detecting post-visit anomalies such as room avoidance behavior coupled with reduced stretching movements and delayed vocal responses. The opportunity for communication remains available to make adjustments whenever routines change or symptoms emerge slowly. Through attentive observation of subtle signals between each heartbeat and quiet moment, Hardin Animal Hospital provides veterinary services to Stockton and nearby Californian communities by understanding what pets display and owners perceive.

I interned at Hardin for a couple of weeks and what I saw impressed me. The sad truly cares about all the animals they care for and they take care to show the owners how much they care. They do great work in carrying for all their patients and truly love what they do. They also understand that vet care is not cheap and do their best not to gouge your wallet when charging for services.

My family and I have been bringing our pets here for years, most recently however, one of my cats came down with some sort of eye infection (I assume from getting scratched or something) and I brought him in initially to get a shot of antibiotics and some eye ointment. This worked for a few days but suddenly Wednesday night he had a fever again and it looked as if the infection had spread to his other eye. So we took him in Thursday morning and he ended up staying overnight to get a nice continuous dose of antibiotics. This is one of my biggest fears because you never know how your pet will be treated, you aren't there to protect him/her, and on top of being in a weird and new environment without your family and their smells, they feel crappy. But I know my kitty was treated well because when we picked him up the next day, I could hear the women that went to get him in the back talking to him so sweetly. It was comforting to know that they not only didn't abuse my cat but treated him kindly. Lastly, vet bills are the biggest reason people end up not taking their pets to the doctor when they need to but I can assure you that this place is extremely affordable and it's not at the loss of service quality. Thank you for taking care of my furry baby, words couldn't describe my eternal gratitude.

This veterinary hospital is OUTSTANDING!!! The Dr and his staff are so kind, caring and generous. They saved our Springer Spaniels life! We took our 6 yr old Cindi in because she wouldnt eat and she was drinking A LOT of water and throwing it up. She was in full blown liver failure. Dr said he could keep her for a few days on IV meds for $800. There was a 50/50 chance after treatment that she may not make it. We were forced to make a decision i dont ever want to go through again. We didnt have the funds to get treatment for her. We were going to have to put her down. I was devasted. She is my baby!!!! But when we told the Dr we had to let her go he asked us to give him a couple days with her at less then half the original price quoted to see if he could save her and he did!! She is doing great!! Thank you Hardin Vet Hospital!

Dr. Vicuna is the BEST! He takes such good care of every animal that goes in there. I brought my baby girl Boxer Mix in when she was soooo sick. Most people wouldn't immediately put their face up to a random dogs face (especially her breed). He did though! He could tell she was feeling sick and put his face right up to hers and let her give him kisses! It was so sweet! She's gone there for any check-ups, I had her fixed there, and she will always go there for everything!

My family and I have brought our pets to Dr. Vicuña for over 20 years. He has always been patient and thorough with our beloved animals and the many rescues and fosters we've brought in over the years, some of whom as he has so humorously put it, "pay his bills with all their problems"! Many of the rescues we brought in were in terrible health and we have always gotten sound advice and excellent service at very agreeable rates. Dr Vicuña earnestly cares about the animals (two and four-legged) that come into his clinic, and it shows. We highly recommend him.Just after wroting my original review, on New Year's Day, our family cat was attacked by a loose pit bull. (Must be the owner not the breed, right?) Dr Vicuña and his staff emitted him right away. The cat had to stay the weekend with a promise that they would call the next day if it wasn't looking good. The cat's temperature was very low and he was ripped open pretty badly. When we didn't receive the call, we were all so relieved. Our cat came home with a an impressive amount of sutures and is making a fast recovery. Thank you so much to Dr Vicuña and staff for saving our cat.

So I been coming here to take my pug for over 10 years. They always took such good care of my dog, they saved her life couple of times. Once when she was younger, and another time when she needed an emergency spay at 13 years old because of infection. I was so scared I was going to loose her. However she recovered, and was a happy pug! I would bring her in just for check ups, because she was a senior dog. I loved how the staff all knew her name, she would wag her tail and say hi to them all. So I knew they have treated her well with love. But just like all good things, they have to end. My dog was 14 years old when she died. It was difficult to handle emotionally but the vet took such good care of her. And supported us through a difficult time. If I ever get a pet, I will take them to Hardin vet, they truly love animals.

Today I had to take one of my fur babies to the vet. I cannot express my gratitude for Hardin Animal Hospital and Dr. Patricio Vicuna enough. He, throughout all my years of having him treat my animals, has always been compassionate for the animal firstly and secondly holds nothing back when it comes to the needs of your baby. No sugar coating, just an honest, caring man that proves he loves animals beyond a paycheck. Our appt was made this morning, I went in and my baby Ruby needed emergency surgery to be spayed due to a really bad infection that occurs in female dogs. Any longer and she would have had to be put down. As a mother, and avid animal lover, I could not feel more at ease with her in his care. He even personally went back to the office and called me this evening to let me know how she is doing. I dont know many veterinarians who would make a personal follow up call and complete the surgery so late in the day. The Universe and God are great. Thank you to Dr. Pat and his wonderful staff!

I had a friend whose black lab was seriously injured in an accident yesterday brought his dog to this place to see what could be done to save her. The vet there REFUSED to treat her and turned them away because they were about to close for the day. Therefore the owner had to watch in horror as his companion passed away while suffering in severe pain. Great ethics for a vet. You should be ashamed of yourselves. I would caution anyone, if you value the life of your four legged companion do not take them to this plce.

I brought my dog in for a surgery to remove a tumor or mass on his neck and spent over $600 dollar. In the beginning i thought everything was until they collected the money. The stitches was sloppy and deformed look like a half ass job. For over three weeks i repeatedly came here because my dog was not healing and his stitches keep opening up. After continues visit about my dog concern i felt that there were irritated with me and don't care about my dog needs. So I decided to find a another vet which was California Dog & Cat Hospital had to do the surgery again. This time it was money well spent after about a week my dog was fully recovered and quality of skills was far better then the vet here. I advise others not to come here, well for surgeries if it the case.

20 years of being our vet and Dr. Vicuna and the entire staff are the perfect combination of compassionate and knowledgeable and extend the best service available. We have six dogs who suffered from minor to major ailments throughout the years and we have never had a less than excellent experience with Hardin Animal Hospital. We did a major back surgery on a dauschaund (Dr. V referred us to a specialist) and an ACL repair on a Great Dane puppy (Dr. Brought in a specialist). The best of the best!! ")

Dr. Vicuña came highly recommended by a family member. So after bring extremely disappointed in another vet in Stockton my husband and I decided it was time for a change. I immediately saw his concern with what my dogs skin concerns were and told me of another food to try and a strict diet. Queenie has had major improvement and with no harmful steroids. Queenie also suffers from horrible ear infections, upon this last exam Dr. recommend surgery to help relieve our poor baby from this constant reoccurring problem. I immediately panicked but was very surprised with a very affordable price. The staff and Dr. Just seam to actually care and want to help. Will add to this review after my fur babies 10 day check up!

If you are looking for an outstanding vet and competent staff, groomer and great prices, this is the place to go. My parents have come to this vet for over 16 years and now that we have an addition to my family, an adorable toy poodle named Yoshi, I couldn't think of anywhere better to go. Dr. Vicuña is simply the best. His bedside manner is what really makes me feel at ease and confident that he will do the best he can to provide excellent care, plus he has a good sense of humor.

Hardin Hospital is an accommodating facility right from when you step in. I had an appointment at 11:00 AM and all I had to do when I walked in was announce that, and they placed my dog and I in a separate room for a follow up. I had to come here for my dogs skin condition which a hospital in Sacramento (not naming them) was no help and took a lot of money and had us in and out of their facility (charging each time). The very first visit here the doctor announced he specialized in skin support and conditions which is what we were exactly looking for. The blood test here cost us $100 to see what our dog could be potentially allergic to, the other place was trying to charge us $600, huge price difference.Right from week one improvement was noticed and my dog's skin was becoming better. If you have a dog with a skin condition or issue, I HIGHLY recommend coming here. It is located in Stockton but well worth the drive. Meds cost us another $38, special shampoo was another $30, and skin supportive food was another $50 for a 5lb bag. All in all ended up with a $500 bill, and results are astounding. At the Sacramento pet hospital spent well over $1,000, and had no improvements.Thanks Doc.

Came to this place for our pit, when he got his first shots, treatment for Parvovirus and microchipping. They are a friendly establishment with a wonderful vet that was very informational and kind. I went in today for Reeko's second shots and microchipping, I was in and out of there within 30 mins. I do wish that I got to see the vet though. I only saw the vet tech and the receptionist girls. When we went in a year ago, Reeko caught parvovirus and we couldn't get him to rehydrate enough to the point where he would get better so we went to Hardin for help. They did any amazing job, they kept him for a week and back to his original self. Our experience have been good so far.

Super, compassionate and kind staff with a great Doctor behind them all. Patricio is a meticulous Vet with a great bedside manner for all 3 of our Westies. Maybe he just loves the breed but he is always glad to see out little guy and girls and chat them up. They kinda like him alot to and pepper him with kisses and nudges. Must be something he is, you know how dogs are when it comes to knowing ones mettle!Now that Cathy has joined the location it is a one stop shop for us. Although we miss Cathy's old location (right around the corner from our house) we know that she is there, will do a GREAT job grooming our pals for their gala events and we can also get a check up from the good Doctor!We have been coming to Hardin for 4 or 5 years now and would not think of ever going to another vet.

Dr Vicuna loves animals and it is very apparent. I had to bring my Yorkie in several times because she was very ill and I knew she was in good hands. When it was time to let her go, he showed she and I the greatest of respect and it made a small part of my pain a bit more bearable. I will miss her so much but I know it was the right thing to do because I know if there was anything the doctor could have reasonably done, he would have. He's not there just to run "tests" and empty your wallet.The staff is sweet and considerate of your needs. I highly recommend the Hardin Animal Hospital for their professionalism, compassion and value.
