AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! The veterinarian, Dr. Aldo Meza, is unethical and recommends unnecessary procedures for financial gain. He will exploit and manipulate your emotions as a pet owner for his personal gain, and worst of all he may perform or recommend medical procedures that will cause your pet to suffer unnecessarily, and leave them worse off than when you walked in. He also made fraudulent claims about his business offerings. This man is despicable and quite frankly I'm shocked he's still licensed to practice. Read Less

Totally agree is not about giving the negative comment. But people need to be aware. Dr Meza is insensitive he only cares about taking your money. I took my dog with a little bit of dehydration for a small diarrea I totally regret it. This Doctor scared me so much and he tested my dog in all the possible ways to make as much money. X-rays, test, etc. a good doctor don't Google. He did he google all the possible ways my dog could of have because of the diarrea. He did it in front of me. Gave me a bunch of copies so I " learn ". Is not about the money but I end up paying close to 900 dollars but is because he manipulates your feelings. Besides he is rude, doctor Meza, and doesn't even let you speak. Please take your pet to a Doctor that really care about animals. Read Less

My kitty Pixel had to have perineal urethostomy surgery. Finding a vet for your fur-baby is so difficult, especially if your pet is in pain and you don't know what is wrong. After taking Pixel to the emergency clinic 2x with a urinary obstruction he needed a surgery his regular vet did not perform. I was referred by the emergency clinic to Vet Care Animal Center where I first met Dr. Meza. Like any pet parent I was hesitant, I did know much about Vet Care Animal Center, but after talking to Dr. Meza about my concerns, he reassured me that he was in the best possible hands. Looking back ~ I truly believe he was. Post Surgery - I had a follow up call each morning checking in on Pixel making sure that all is well and the follow up check ups are thorough. Dr. Meza's team is so helpful and caring you can really tell that they care about each patient that walks through their door. It's been a month and Pixel is on the mend. The sutures healed nicely and my fur-baby is back to his normal (troublemaker) self. Dr. Meza is the best and is now Pixels new and only veterinarian!! Thank you all for saving my sweet Pixel!!Read Less

I won't ever take my dog anywhere else - Dr Meza is anazing!! My personal experiences he saved her x 3 !!! His prices have gone up but he's still cheaper then any of the others vets around town. My advice to you on this place is be your own judge - you won't be sorry :) Read Less

Any 5 star review you see here is fake ! The stupid doctor wouldn't want to answer the phone when my lil sis took my puppy there. I was trying to explain to him the pup had ate a very small portion of rat poison and all you could hear through the phone was "oh no if you're gonna tell me what's wrong you tell me, don't be calling people because then the whole family is going to be calling." I made my sister put me on speaker and I yelled "the dog ate rat poison you f**king r**ard"and then he actually answers and asks me what's wrong. Awful service he also said my pup was anemic and charged extra for "vitamin injections" !!!which I doubt since I've been feeding it nothing but Crown Royal mini starter the recoommended food with either the moose or Natural Yogurt which should have all the nutrients the pup needs. I wasn't there so I couldn't be like "no he doesn't". But this place is a joke they don't care about the animals and they'll try to scam you with their"vitamins" which I doubt they even gave him!

Dr. Meza, the principal veterinarian at Vet Care Animal Center, is dedicated to the care and well being of domestic pets. Dr Mesa extended the life of my dog Lisa she finally died of natural cause she was 17 years old. He saved her from pneumonia and congested heart failure. He has provided care for my pets for the last 12 years. I would recommend this clinic if you want to work with people that care about pets.Read Less

Drs. Meza and Collett have been our family's veterinarians for over 20 years. Dr. Meza has prolonged the lives of our dogs and saved others from operations with minimal treatments and drugs and by prescribing the right diets of good foods and vegetables. He is the "gold standard" of his profession and we heartily recommend his well staffed clinic to all pet parents. Read Less

Dr. Meza saved my dog! My Chihuahua was attacked by a boxer and her neck was ripped open. He performed reconstructive surgery and it was very successful. It's been 3 years now without any complications ! Thank you!! Read Less

Worst clinical service. Took my pet for neuter. Though the procedure was a success, they mistreated my pet. They supposedly found my pet to have been infested with flees. They called to obtain my permission to bathe my pet after procedure. When my family member picked him up, my pet was in his carrier and my family did not noticed my pet to be still dam to soaking wet. On next business day, I return to clinic and questioned them. The guy who bathe him pretty much stated the clinic would never let an animal go in such conditions. He began making excuses such as perhaps my pet pee on himself on the drive home. Two weeks later, his story had changed. He stated that given the fact that procedure was done that he would not recommend completely dry an animal. He stated for healthy reasons, my pet was not dried. On the this same visit, he could not find a single flea on my pet. He could not make a case as to how my cat was flealess in just two weeks. Never taking any of my pets where they are treated as animals, are neglected and mishandled. WORST experience my pet and I have ever had in a pet clinic.Read Less

Two different vets had told me that my dog was dying and that i needed to put her down. They both told me that they could not find anything wrong with Betsy. I was distraught. How could it be that two vets could not discover what was wrong with my baby? I didn't know what to do. I was discussing my problem with a friend of mine when she referred me to see Dr. Meza. I was deep in debt ($3,000) from hospital bills. I didn't want to become deeper in debt and have him tell me the same thing i had heard twice. Something inside me told me that i had to give it one last try. I arrived to Collet Veterinary Clinic and was greeted by the wonderful staff. When i met Dr. Meza he and I clicked immediatly. We both spoke portuguese and this helped me explain what exactly my dog had been feeling. He then asked me "Do you believe in God?" and i replied Of course. He told me to go home and pray that my dog would be alright. Betsy stayed overnight with him and would be treated in various ways. I went home and prayed all night. The next morning i recieved a phone call directly from Dr.Meza explaining that Betsy was doing much better and that she would be able to go home. Although she wasn't 100% better i noticed much improvement. Once i saw her, i was hooked. I knew this man was the man that was going to save my dog. I continued to bring Betsy for her appointments and two months later she is as good as new. She is doing so great and it is all thanks to Dr. Meza and his wonderful staff. I am forever grateful for this man. I recommend him to everyone one of my friends with pets. GO SEE HIM!! HE IS A MIRACLE WORKER!!! Love and thank you Dr Meza, and staff. -Jane Alves Fontes Read Less

NOTE: "Hated it" so much I would've rated it negative 5-stars if I could have. ... In February 2008 I took my 16+ yr old German Shepherd (Cory) to Collett Veterinary Clinic to be euthanized. Even though I was told they took walk-ins, I made an appointment. I was having a really hard time keeping myself together, which was made worse by how sad my dog seemed. I arrived at 11:45, which was 15mins early for my appointment. I was told to fill out their paperwork/take a seat and that they'd be right with me. Again, this was at 11:45am. At 2:00pm we were finally taken to a room, where we waited an additional 35mins for the doctor to give us our "consultation". I don't remember the doctor's name, but it was a man, rather tall & thin and he looked like he could be of Asian decent. He asked a few questions, then turned to leave. A technician needed to set up the IV, he said, and he would return once that was done. At that point I was crying fairly hysterically, almost non-stop. I was inconsolable with grief. The doctor, on the other hand, did NOT have much sympathy for me or my dog - a fact made all the more real when he told me, "You really need to calm down now .... It's just a dog." I couldn't believe my ears. To add insult to injury: When we were leaving to go home, I looked back and saw the doctor standing in the doorway of the room we'd been in. Behind him I could see my dog, still on the table and that she was laying in a pool of her own urine. I left Collett Veterinary Clinic grief stricken & seething with anger. I hoped that I'd never see or hear from anyone at Collett ever again. Unfortunately about a month later I got a sympathy card, signed by what looked like the entire staff, offering condolences for the loss of my beloved best friend. I became angry & hurt all over again. Please, please DO NOT take any of your pets to this vet.. not for any reason -- not ever.Read Less
