We brought our dog in at 10:00 pm on a Saturday after he was bitten by another dog. The staff was amazing! They were reassuring, calm, and so compassionate.The doctor on call clearly explained our options for treatment and was able to operate on our dog successfully! We were able to take our little guy home that same night and the doctor gave us clear instructions for follow up. We will definitely use this practice again!

Our 7 month old French Bulldog has been seen here twice for urgent matters. We saw different doctors each time and both were very friendly, knowledgeable, and comforting. The price is a little steep compared to other veterinarians, however we feel it is worth the care we receive here. I recommend this place for regular and emergency visits. Read Less

Simply the best. Period. And Dr. Kane is the best of the best. Plus, they care for you so well, that they have an actual veterinarian (not just a technician) there 24 a day/7 days a week. If I have an emergency, I want to know I can have my pet seen immediately. No waiting around for the veterinarian to arrive, as that could make all the difference in a complete recovery or not. Plus, it is reassuring that if my pet had to be there overnight, there is, at all times, an actual veterinarian overseeing her care and there instantly if there is a problem. I am very grateful for the excellent care they provide and how nice they are while they provide it. Read Less

My senior chihuahua appeared to have a major skin infection and sores on her skin that she was biting at continuously over night so I called Conejo on Sunday of a holiday weekend and they were able to see her immediately. I brought her in and she was diagnosed and treated with antibiotics and creams, and I would say 75% better in only 2 days. I am always pleased with the care I receive there. Dr Kane is my usual vet but I have seen 3 or 4 other vets on last minute appointments and always have been pleased with their level of care. Always greeted with a warm welcome and knowledgeable staff all around. Read Less

I’ve been bring my pets to Conejo Valley Veterinary for almost 13 years. They are certainly not the closest vet to my home, but it’s worth the drive for me. I’ve always had superior service and I like the fact that there are several excellent doctors on staff who can collaborate with each other if they run into a puzzling case. (I had a poor experience with a small vet office that had limited knowledge and limited office hours). It’s wonderful that they can now provide 24-hour emergency service, too! Read Less

First of all let me start by thanking the staff for being very helpful and caring with my dog. You all are really sweet and I am greatful. Second, I don’t have the most well behaved dog. My Great Dane is a handful and is also really anxious. I’m always scared when people meet her because some all they wanna do is touch her and don’t realize that some dogs you need to be patient with. Now every vet I’ve gone to don’t really know much about the breed. Fair enough I mean we can’t expect all Doctors to know everything I mean they are human beings after all and might even learn something new everyday. But here they really took the time with her and the second they saw she was scared and anxious, everyone took their time to get her to feel comfortable and weren’t just rushing to get things done and over with. Her doc was amazing with her and explained things with detail. I was so please with this place and you best believe that I will be back in a heart beat if I ever need to again. Thank you to everyone who saw my baby that day I truly appreciate your help. Read Less

I will never ever come here again. I brought my 3 month old parakeet here.. see she had a night fright and fell in her cage in the middle of the night .. 2 days later my bird wasn't walking! I Wanted to have her examined so I was met unfortunately with Dr. Kelly Watrobski, who not only told me they wouldn't perform an X-ray, but also they couldn't get a blood sample because my bird was "too small" and the x Ray would just stress her out. Ok, fair enough.. at that moment. So she sent me home with some antibiotic and steroids.. to treat her for two weeks. (the medication label stated "if vomiting occurs, discontinue use") and that happened.. as soon as I gave my parakeet a dose, she threw up all her seeds. I discontinued use. Anyways, Dr. Watrobski tells me to continue for two weeks and see how she is feeling. I bring her home, but that didn't sit right with me.. I then took her to Petco in Encino, since I bought her there.. they said their vet would examine her and find out .... 1 hour later that she has a spinal injury.. and they recommend euthanization. what?!?! Why on earth would a vet from Conejo Valley Dr Kelly Watrobski tell me to torture my poor bird if she has spinal injuries??? For two weeks.. to see how she feels? Her spine is injured!! Of course, that's what you get for 24 hour vet! They don't care. Never ever.. they did recommend Dr Molnar at that time.. because he is an aviary vet.. assuming there are no good Aviary vets at this hospital so they refer you.. and then charge you and arm and a leg for referring! I recommend driving to Calabasas for his services! He is amazing! Read Less

You can just tell the staff genuinely deeply cares for each animal. I was told that the cats they have for adoption were rescued by the owner of the hospital from a high-kill shelter and they go through a very thorough process when considering adopting out the animals. As an animal lover, I really like that. There should be more people like that in this world. I grabbed some brochures while I was there that showed all the services they provide.

Had great service here for a not great experience with my cat. I suspected he broke his leg as he was hobbling around on a very swollen leg, and I went to this vet because mine was closed and doesn't take walk-ins. They made him emergency status and less than 5 minutes later, a vet tech came to check on him and get some vitals, then probably in another 15 I saw a vet, and indeed the leg was broken, after reading the x-rays. :( The vet splinted the leg and sent me home with anti-inflammatory meds and pain medicine, and there's a convenient pet pharmacy on the premises. They also have a nice vending machine, free bottled water, a spacious waiting room, and a free phone charging station. I went back a few weeks later and my vet was Dr. Sweitzer. My cat ended up getting an infection in his claw because of the fact that the splint was causing a buildup of moisture. What I loved about this vet's service was he explained things incredibly clearly and gave me probably 3 options for how to act for every decision that needed to be made regarding x-rays, meds, etc. He was also very caring with my cat, and the cat didn't even hiss or hide from him, it was incredible. I decided this place is nicer than my regular vet, so I'll be switching from now on, particularly with Dr. Sweitzer. A+ vet. Read Less

I took my bunny to the ER for gastrointestinal issues and they were no help. I assumed they had good intentions since they are 24 hours, but clearly I was wrong. First of all they misdiagnosed my bunny when I clearly told them what was wrong with her since she had GI stasis before. They gave her medicine for a PARASITE infection, NOT for her actual intestinal issues! So I have been feeding her meds for almost a week now that were not even for her and have been watching her health decline everyday. They also did not run an IV on her long enough. The next day after this ER visit, I massaged my bunny's belly and felt her intestines protruding out from her stomach. I took her to the VCA hospital on Reseda today and they helped soooo much. My bunny was on the verge of dying all because she was given wrong treatment. The VCA told me her intestines were protruding from severe dehydration and looked at Conejo's diagnosis papers for my bunny and noticed that they barely gave her any IV. Moreover, Conejo insisted on having my bunny overnight on fluids for $900, I denied because I am a student with no income. So instead they send me home with bogus medication?? Yet when I took my bunny to VCA, they said "we can hospitalize her if you like, but for a more reasonable price we can send you home with the proper medication and also give her a ton of IV fluid." They were/are so reasonable and truly love animals! I searched the meds Conejo gave me and it was nowhere to be found to give to rabbits during GI stasis. I searched the meds VCA gave me and it was the first medication to pop up to help rabbits during GI. VCA is also allowing me to come in everyday for the next 5 days to receive IV fluids for my bunny while not waiting in line at all to be seen.After this one visit to VCA my bunny is already looking and feeling a lot better. When this happened to her before, I took her to another VCA and she was better within 3 days. If you want proper care from people who truly love animals, go to VCA Reseda. It seems as though Conejo likes to take advantage of their clients since the location is in Westlake and they assume everyone has $1k to spend on their suffering pets. If you don't spend almost $1k they'll send you home with wrong meds on purpose. Overall, Conejo is just a money hungry vet. Read Less

I'm giving them a five even though my dogs go to a vet in Woodland Hills- where I live. I came home to a nice band tailed pigeon today that was sick. My husband caught it and this was the only hospital that would take it and not euthanize it. They said they would stabilize it, then transfer it to a wildlife org for treatment and care. This was the only place that would help me. I know it was just a pigeon, but it was suffering and it was awful to watch. I will recommend this hospital to my friends that live in the area. I'm glad there's a place to get help when there's an emergency. Best of all, they didn't charge me.Again, I have not experienced their care on my own dogs, but I have much gratitude for their kindness today. Read Less

Conejo Valley Veterinary Hospital misdiagnosed and preformed a pricey and unnecessary surgery on our puppy!!! This is super long, but please read if you have a puppy dealing with post-op spay swelling!!Ten days after we got our 4 month old female Saint Bernard puppy spayed (from a different vet clinic) we began to notice a lump developing near her incision site. We decided to get her examined on a Sunday at CVVH, when our original vet was not open. After pushing around the lump, the vet told us they were almost positive that the lump was a hernia and our puppy needed another surgery.The vet explained that during a spay operation two incisions are made: through the outer layer of skin, and the abdominal wall. After the procedure is complete, the vet uses dissolving stitches to close the abdominal wall and then uses glue stitches to close the outer layer of skin. The vet said that our puppy's "spay surgery had failed" and that the inner incision had reopened and that her intestines or other organ has come through the abdominal wall, causing a hernia. We were given a quote around $550. The vet who did the examination told us that they would not be available to preform the surgery but consulted with another vet who said, "let's do it". We dropped her off in the morning, and then received a text message from the vet around 2pm saying "Please call me if you would like to have a gastroplexy performed at the time of the hernia repair... This will prevent GDV in the future. Now is the time to do it as we will already have the abdominal wall open to repair the hernia. We are starting the surgery now. I usually offer this at time of spay for this breed because they are at higher risk for GDV." Background: Gastropexy is a preventative and elective surgery, which tacks the stomach to the abdominal wall preventing the stomach from flipping which is a high risk for large breed dogs. We consented to this surgery as we were completely under the impression that the abdominal wall was already open- hence, hernia.A couple hours later we received a call from the vet who preformed the surgery letting us know that the surgery was finished and it wasn't a hernia but a seroma and they went ahead and preformed a Gastropexy as we consented to. A seroma is the build up of fluid caused by the empty space between the muscle and skin. While a seroma is not necessarily a good thing after a spay surgery, it is extremely common and DOES NOT NEED SURGERY. The most aggressive treatment when dealing with a seroma is to drain it, which many vets think is unnecessary and it should heal on its own. A seroma also means that the spay incision had held, and the abdominal cavity was closed.1) The initial vet misdiagnosed a mild/extremely common post-spay condition with a much more serious issue that needed surgical repair. The vet mentioned no other possible causes, and did not offer any options/tests to rule out other less serious conditions before invasive surgery.2) The vet who preformed the surgery realized it was not a hernia, and continued to cut open her abdomen to preform the elective surgery (which we only consented to during a HERNIA REPAIR). We were not given updated information, and had we known this was a different complication, we would never chosen to preform an invasive surgery 10 days after the initial surgery (which obviously wasn't healed completely in the first place). We were asked at a moment of weakness and agreed under the belief that her abdomen was already open. After further researching the Gastropexy surgery, we have found that this procedure can be done laparoscopically, which is obviously preferable unless the abdominal wall was already open.It has only been a couple days since the surgery, and our sweet puppy is THANKFULLY doing ok. The new incision is 5 times as large as the initial spay incision, and we are having to heavily sedate her for the next two weeks.I have decided to emit names, because I do understand human errors are part of life. We ended up receiving about $100 off the $1500 total procedure, which if diagnosed correctly would not have even been necessary. Read Less

With one very sick kitty on New Years Day and our vet not open until Tuesday, we called and came to CV Veterinary Hospital . Very quick and very kind service by the on call vet. She was efficient, knowledgeable and very pleasant and concerned. A shot and some compassion helped with his care. Two days later we saw our vet and they concurred that CVVH is the place to go in an emergency. Thank goodness it exists. Read Less

If anyone needs to take their pet to the vet, I definitely recommend Conejo Valley Vet. We had to bring in our new puppy because she had a seizure and they were so compassionate and knowledgeable. I was so amazed by how kind they were. And without any mention of money they made it a point to save money where possible. They text and call you with updates and are patient enough to answer all of your questions. These people wanted our dog to be okay as much as we did. These are GOOD people who truly care about animals. We had Dr.Watrobski and she and her team were absolutely amazing. They even gave Athena a little toy to play with and take home. Read Less

Kiki and I were there last night, because I could tell something was off about her. She suffers from renal failure, so pretty much everything is cause for concern. The place is huge and very nice, aesthetically speaking. I felt like we had come to a place with state of the art technology. The staff is prompt, professional, and compassionate (considering it was 4 in the morning and that was the very last place I wanted to be). Veterinary medicine is expensive. Scream it, punch a pillow, tell a houseplant how much you hate it, and move on. They don't overcharge compared to any other emergency clinic, and they will work with you as far as money goes. I knew walking in what I could spend, and I told them flat out. The doctor told me what they could do on my budget based on what she wanted to find out, and we went for it. She was friendly and no-nonsense (exactly what I wanted at oh-my-god o'clock in the morning) and we came up with a game plan from there. If you're reading this review, odds are you need or needed their services. Always remember, there will be more money. It's inconvenient, but you can call your auto loan company and ask for an extension, or cable, DWP. People appreciate that you're helping your companion. Don't let a temporary inconvenience rob you of your lifelong friend. There's only one of them. Best of luck to anyone who finds them self there for emergencies.Read Less

We brought our Golden Retriever in one evening, after he'd gotten into some asthma medication. CVVH wasn't our regular vet, but his situation was dire and we couldn't wait until morning. I couldn't have asked for a more kind, caring, and competent staff. He was in the ICU for 2 days, during which time I made multiple visits. I overheard conversations among the veterinary staff as they consulted on his case and I was impressed with how knowledgable they were and how concerned they were about doing the best by him. The tech staff was also wonderful and very involved in taking care of his needs. Even the staff at the cashier's desk had a genuine interest in his health. The ICU was definitely not where I'd imagined spending part of my Christmas holidays, but if our dog had to be in care somewhere, I chose the right place, without a doubt. Special thanks to Dr. Maynard. Read Less

Biggest joke of a vet I have ever been to. I placed a pharmacy order on the 13th, called in today, 5 days later, to ask if it was ready. Was told it was ready.

I was referred to the Conejo Valley Center after calling a 24-hr Veterinary Center in Moorpark that didn't accept hamsters. Upon calling Conejo, I was greeted by a very friendly vet employee who patiently listened to me explain the worrying symptoms my female hamster Yuna was exhibiting. Loss of consciousness sporadically through the night when she, as a hamster, is supposed to be running around energetically was one of them. I had much doubt about paying $84 for an emergency visit fee, but the employee advised me that any disconcerting issues small animals exhibit could turn terminal very quickly, so I came in around midnight for a peace of mind. There was one other patient before me and I waited for about half an hr to 45 minutes to see Dr. Mallon, but I know Yuna wasn't put under precedence because she was moving around a lot from nervousness and curiosity. Dr. Mallon did a quick but thorough examination of Yuna and her best guess was that Yuna might have an ear infection, so I was given antibiotics which the doctor's technician, Shelby, taught me how to administer. Shelby was very helpful and easy to interact with. Every staff member I encountered at the Conejo Valley Center was very helpful and sweet, even though they were all working graveyard shifts. Cathy was the receptionist and she was sweeter than apple pie and made me feel like Yuna and I would be completely taken care of. I left feeling so much better and though it was a pricey trip at $103 for some antibiotics, I am very grateful to have had a peace of mind that my Yuna would be okay. I even called back and sent a video to Shelby because Yuna was acting lethargic again, and I was given advice and input at every turn.If there is ever anything Yuna needs medically, I will be coming back to Conejo Valley Center because I had such a good experience here. Thanks to all of you! Read Less

Our dog had been vomiting on and off for about a month. She was seen by two different vets on two separate occasions at other facilities with no resolution.I called Conejo Vet on a Sunday morning and Shelby answered the phone. She was so kind and polite, letting me know that I could schedule a regular appointment on a Sunday at no extra charge.We met with Dr Vlazny who examined our dog and suggested an ultrasound the same morning. Dr Lavie performed the ultrasound and it was determined that our dog had a foreign body in her intestines. After discussing the procedure and risks involved, surgery was performed the following day. Both Drs Vlazny and Lavie took great care with our dog. We were kept abreast of our dogs condition, we were able to contact the hospital staff at any hour while she was cared for over night. I was very impressed with the communication and continuity of care.We returned to the hospital three days later for pain management and later that nite as she developed a seroma. There we were at 11:30 at nite and we were greeted by Dr. Watrobski to have her incision checked. Again, we were reassured everything was ok and I was very impressed by her caring professional nature.  We were also not charged for any of theses additional visits as it was considered post op care.Now, two weeks later, our dog is back together again. She's her spunky self and we are so pleased with the care she was given. I wish I could remember all the names of everyone who helped us, without exception, everyone was fantastic! Read Less

First of all let me start by thanking the staff for being very helpful and caring with my dog. You all are really sweet and I am greatful. Second, I don’t have the most well behaved dog. My Great Dane is a handful and is also really anxious. I’m always scared when people meet her because some all they wanna do is touch her and don’t realize that some dogs you need to be patient with. Now every vet I’ve gone to don’t really know much about the breed. Fair enough I mean we can’t expect all Doctors to know everything I mean they are human beings after all and might even learn something new everyday. But here they really took the time with her and the second they saw she was scared and anxious, everyone took their time to get her to feel comfortable and weren’t just rushing to get things done and over with. Her doc was amazing with her and explained things with detail. I was so please with this place and you best believe that I will be back in a heart beat if I ever need to again.

I Wanted to have her examined so I was met unfortunately with Dr. Kelly Watrobski, who not only told me they wouldn't perform an X-ray, but also they couldn't get a blood sample because my bird was "too small" and the x Ray would just stress her out. Ok, fair enough.. at that moment. So she sent me home with some antibiotic and steroids.. to treat her for two weeks. (the medication label stated "if vomiting occurs, discontinue use") and that happened.. as soon as I gave my parakeet a dose, she threw up all her seeds. I discontinued use. Anyways, Dr. Watrobski tells me to continue for two weeks and see how she is feeling. I bring her home, but that didn't sit right with me.. I then took her to Petco in Encino, since I bought her there.. they said their vet would examine her and find out .... 1 hour later that she has a spinal injury.. and they recommend euthanization. what?!?! Why on earth would a vet from Conejo Valley Dr Kelly Watrobski tell me to torture my poor bird if she has spinal injuries??? For two weeks.. to see how she feels? Her spine is injured!! Of course, that's what you get for 24 hour vet! They don't care. Never ever.. they did recommend Dr Molnar at that time.. because he is an aviary vet.. assuming there are no good Aviary vets at this hospital so they refer you.. and then charge you and arm and a leg for referring! I recommend driving to Calabasas for his services! He is amazing! Read Less

We suspected that our dog had pyometra (an often fatal uterine infection of unspayed, female dogs).  I called about midnight and spoke with Dr. Au, who suggested I bring her in, because if that was the diagnosis, it was an emergency.  I brought her in Dr. Au quickly diagnosed her and she was on the table getting surgery within two hours.  Dr. Au saved her life.  Everyone in the facility was beyond professional.  The last time I was in the hospital, I didn't get this amount of care and professionalism!!  I cannot recommend this facility highly enough.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

Had great service here for a not great experience with my cat. I suspected he broke his leg as he was hobbling around on a very swollen leg, and I went to this vet because mine was closed and doesn't take walk-ins. They made him emergency status and less than 5 minutes later, a vet tech came to check on him and get some vitals, then probably in another 15 I saw a vet, and indeed the leg was broken, after reading the x-rays. :( The vet splinted the leg and sent me home with anti-inflammatory meds and pain medicine, and there's a convenient pet pharmacy on the premises. They also have a nice vending machine, free bottled water, a spacious waiting room, and a free phone charging station. I went back a few weeks later and my vet was Dr. Sweitzer. My cat ended up getting an infection in his claw because of the fact that the splint was causing a buildup of moisture. What I loved about this vet's service was he explained things incredibly clearly and gave me probably 3 options for how to act for every decision that needed to be made regarding x-rays, meds, etc. He was also very caring with my cat, and the cat didn't even hiss or hide from him, it was incredible. I decided this place is nicer than my regular vet, so I'll be switching from now on, particularly with Dr. Sweitzer. A+ vet. Read Less

I took my bunny to the ER for gastrointestinal issues and they were no help. I assumed they had good intentions since they are 24 hours, but clearly I was wrong. First of all they misdiagnosed my bunny when I clearly told them what was wrong with her since she had GI stasis before. They gave her medicine for a PARASITE infection, NOT for her actual intestinal issues! So I have been feeding her meds for almost a week now that were not even for her and have been watching her health decline everyday. They also did not run an IV on her long enough. The next day after this ER visit, I massaged my bunny's belly and felt her intestines protruding out from her stomach. I took her to the VCA hospital on Reseda today and they helped soooo much. My bunny was on the verge of dying all because she was given wrong treatment. The VCA told me her intestines were protruding from severe dehydration and looked at Conejo's diagnosis papers for my bunny and noticed that they barely gave her any IV. Moreover, Conejo insisted on having my bunny overnight on fluids for $900, I denied because I am a student with no income. So instead they send me home with bogus medication?? Yet when I took my bunny to VCA, they said "we can hospitalize her if you like, but for a more reasonable price we can send you home with the proper medication and also give her a ton of IV fluid." They were/are so reasonable and truly love animals! I searched the meds Conejo gave me and it was nowhere to be found to give to rabbits during GI stasis. I searched the meds VCA gave me and it was the first medication to pop up to help rabbits during GI. VCA is also allowing me to come in everyday for the next 5 days to receive IV fluids for my bunny while not waiting in line at all to be seen.After this one visit to VCA my bunny is already looking and feeling a lot better. When this happened to her before, I took her to another VCA and she was better within 3 days. If you want proper care from people who truly love animals, go to VCA Reseda. It seems as though Conejo likes to take advantage of their clients since the location is in Westlake and they assume everyone has $1k to spend on their suffering pets. If you don't spend almost $1k they'll send you home with wrong meds on purpose. Overall, Conejo is just a money hungry vet. Read Less

I'm giving them a five even though my dogs go to a vet in Woodland Hills- where I live. I came home to a nice band tailed pigeon today that was sick.

Conejo Valley Veterinary Hospital misdiagnosed and preformed a pricey and unnecessary surgery on our puppy!!! This is super long, but please read if you have a puppy dealing with post-op spay swelling!!Ten days after we got our 4 month old female Saint Bernard puppy spayed (from a different vet clinic) we began to notice a lump developing near her incision site. We decided to get her examined on a Sunday at CVVH, when our original vet was not open. After pushing around the lump, the vet told us they were almost positive that the lump was a hernia and our puppy needed another surgery.The vet explained that during a spay operation two incisions are made: through the outer layer of skin, and the abdominal wall. After the procedure is complete, the vet uses dissolving stitches to close the abdominal wall and then uses glue stitches to close the outer layer of skin. The vet said that our puppy's "spay surgery had failed" and that the inner incision had reopened and that her intestines or other organ has come through the abdominal wall, causing a hernia. We were given a quote around $550. The vet who did the examination told us that they would not be available to preform the surgery but consulted with another vet who said, "let's do it". We dropped her off in the morning, and then received a text message from the vet around 2pm saying "Please call me if you would like to have a gastroplexy performed at the time of the hernia repair... This will prevent GDV in the future. Now is the time to do it as we will already have the abdominal wall open to repair the hernia. We are starting the surgery now. I usually offer this at time of spay for this breed because they are at higher risk for GDV." Background: Gastropexy is a preventative and elective surgery, which tacks the stomach to the abdominal wall preventing the stomach from flipping which is a high risk for large breed dogs. We consented to this surgery as we were completely under the impression that the abdominal wall was already open- hence, hernia.A couple hours later we received a call from the vet who preformed the surgery letting us know that the surgery was finished and it wasn't a hernia but a seroma and they went ahead and preformed a Gastropexy as we consented to. A seroma is the build up of fluid caused by the empty space between the muscle and skin. While a seroma is not necessarily a good thing after a spay surgery, it is extremely common and DOES NOT NEED SURGERY. The most aggressive treatment when dealing with a seroma is to drain it, which many vets think is unnecessary and it should heal on its own. A seroma also means that the spay incision had held, and the abdominal cavity was closed.1) The initial vet misdiagnosed a mild/extremely common post-spay condition with a much more serious issue that needed surgical repair. The vet mentioned no other possible causes, and did not offer any options/tests to rule out other less serious conditions before invasive surgery.2) The vet who preformed the surgery realized it was not a hernia, and continued to cut open her abdomen to preform the elective surgery (which we only consented to during a HERNIA REPAIR). We were not given updated information, and had we known this was a different complication, we would never chosen to preform an invasive surgery 10 days after the initial surgery (which obviously wasn't healed completely in the first place). We were asked at a moment of weakness and agreed under the belief that her abdomen was already open. After further researching the Gastropexy surgery, we have found that this procedure can be done laparoscopically, which is obviously preferable unless the abdominal wall was already open.It has only been a couple days since the surgery, and our sweet puppy is THANKFULLY doing ok. The new incision is 5 times as large as the initial spay incision, and we are having to heavily sedate her for the next two weeks.I have decided to emit names, because I do understand human errors are part of life. We ended up receiving about $100 off the $1500 total procedure, which if diagnosed correctly would not have even been necessary. Read Less

Kiki and I were there last night, because I could tell something was off about her. She suffers from renal failure, so pretty much everything is cause for concern. The place is huge and very nice, aesthetically speaking. I felt like we had come to a place with state of the art technology. The staff is prompt, professional, and compassionate (considering it was 4 in the morning and that was the very last place I wanted to be). Veterinary medicine is expensive. Scream it, punch a pillow, tell a houseplant how much you hate it, and move on. They don't overcharge compared to any other emergency clinic, and they will work with you as far as money goes. I knew walking in what I could spend, and I told them flat out. The doctor told me what they could do on my budget based on what she wanted to find out, and we went for it. She was friendly and no-nonsense (exactly what I wanted at oh-my-god o'clock in the morning) and we came up with a game plan from there. If you're reading this review, odds are you need or needed their services. Always remember, there will be more money. It's inconvenient, but you can call your auto loan company and ask for an extension, or cable, DWP. People appreciate that you're helping your companion. Don't let a temporary inconvenience rob you of your lifelong friend. There's only one of them. Best of luck to anyone who finds them self there for emergencies.Read Less

I was referred to the Conejo Valley Center after calling a 24-hr Veterinary Center in Moorpark that didn't accept hamsters. Upon calling Conejo, I was greeted by a very friendly vet employee who patiently listened to me explain the worrying symptoms my female hamster Yuna was exhibiting. Loss of consciousness sporadically through the night when she, as a hamster, is supposed to be running around energetically was one of them. I had much doubt about paying $84 for an emergency visit fee, but the employee advised me that any disconcerting issues small animals exhibit could turn terminal very quickly, so I came in around midnight for a peace of mind. There was one other patient before me and I waited for about half an hr to 45 minutes to see Dr. Mallon, but I know Yuna wasn't put under precedence because she was moving around a lot from nervousness and curiosity. Dr. Mallon did a quick but thorough examination of Yuna and her best guess was that Yuna might have an ear infection, so I was given antibiotics which the doctor's technician, Shelby, taught me how to administer. Shelby was very helpful and easy to interact with. Every staff member I encountered at the Conejo Valley Center was very helpful and sweet, even though they were all working graveyard shifts. Cathy was the receptionist and she was sweeter than apple pie and made me feel like Yuna and I would be completely taken care of. I left feeling so much better and though it was a pricey trip at $103 for some antibiotics, I am very grateful to have had a peace of mind that my Yuna would be okay. I even called back and sent a video to Shelby because Yuna was acting lethargic again, and I was given advice and input at every turn.If there is ever anything Yuna needs medically, I will be coming back to Conejo Valley Center because I had such a good experience here. Thanks to all of you! Read Less

Our dog had been vomiting on and off for about a month. She was seen by two different vets on two separate occasions at other facilities with no resolution.I called Conejo Vet on a Sunday morning and Shelby answered the phone. She was so kind and polite, letting me know that I could schedule a regular appointment on a Sunday at no extra charge.We met with Dr Vlazny who examined our dog and suggested an ultrasound the same morning. Dr Lavie performed the ultrasound and it was determined that our dog had a foreign body in her intestines. After discussing the procedure and risks involved, surgery was performed the following day. Both Drs Vlazny and Lavie took great care with our dog. We were kept abreast of our dogs condition, we were able to contact the hospital staff at any hour while she was cared for over night. I was very impressed with the communication and continuity of care.We returned to the hospital three days later for pain management and later that nite as she developed a seroma. There we were at 11:30 at nite and we were greeted by Dr. Watrobski to have her incision checked. Again, we were reassured everything was ok and I was very impressed by her caring professional nature.  We were also not charged for any of theses additional visits as it was considered post op care.Now, two weeks later, our dog is back together again.

Really have no single reason to give them less than 5 stars and every reason to! Love this beautiful, CLEAN, facility and their entire staff. We've seen more than one of their vets and have no reason to really request one over the other. Our pups have been in for general care and surgery both. Great service and I believe great conservative prices. It's a huge plus that they're open 24/7. We never worry about any ER situation our labs may get themselves in to. Read Less

Outstanding on EVERY level. Within 5 days of each other I lost 2 beloved pets. One, completely unexpected, the other after Dr. Sweitzer worked tirelessly with me for weeks on what we believed was an ilius. In the end there was nothing to be done as it proved to be intestinal lymphoma. Dr. Sweitzer explored every Avenue of treatment and ALWAYS answered all my questions (and there were many). He was with me when we lost a pet 18 mos earlier and I thought then he was incredibly compassionate and thorough. Nothing has changed. A TRUE passion for his work and for his clients needs. Read Less

I love this vet hospital. We always get wonderful care. My dog had a rare illness and the vet was amazing in finding a solution so my dog is now enjoying a very fulfilling life.

This office is First Class, brand new facility with the best staff and latest technology. Our last visit to this office was one of the hardest times for our family, we had to put down our 14 year old Lhasa Apso. They were so professional about it and made sure our pet was comfortable, providing a special room for all of us, and a comfortable soft table for our sweet Louie. I would recommend this office for all your pet needs, they gave us all peace of mind with our pet. Read Less
