Best place ever!! I had taken my dog to the local vet for 3 weeks and my dog was not getting better. I called Tulare Veterinary Hospital and they were able to see us that dayand my dog had to have surgery that night. If I would have waited until the following week I’m sure my girl would not have made it. I have found my new veterinarian and couldn’t be happier. Thank you to Dr. Gomez and his staff!!! Read Less

Angela, I am so sorry that your experience with us, was not to your satisfaction. We always discuss in detail with our clients regarding price before services are done. The owner was given an estimate which we did not go over. I understand that loosing a pet is a emotional time, however we here at Tulare Veterinary Hospital do not scam or take advantage of our clients. Again I am sorry the experience here with us was not to your satisfaction.

HI Loraissa, I apologize we were not able to get you in when you called at 5:30pm on April 12. Unfortunately, we are only open from 7:30am-5:30pm. Our schedule had been completed and the doctor had just left for the day. Our first priority is to our clients and yes money does play a role however, we always give an estimate before any services are done. We fully understand that the care for your pet is your top priority, which is why we suggested you take them to Tulare-Kings Veterinary Emergency Hospital. I hope your pet is doing better and if you have any questions fell free to give us a call. Thank you, Christie

From my experience they have always been nice to me and my pets. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is because every appointment I've had they have gotten my pets in late by 15-30min past my scheduled time. It hasn't mattered if I show up on time or early- they run late. Also it is slow once they do get you in a room. I always plan to be at the vet for at least 1.5- 2 hours for a general check-up.

HI Annie, I just wanted you to that if you come with your pet and we completely backed up ( 1.5-2 hrs) you will be able to drop your pet off to us without a fee and we will call you once your furry friend is ready for pick up. We fully understand how valuable your time is. Thank you, Christie

Horrible service from the vet! Only giving one star because I absolutely have to. The female veterinarian (who never introduced herself so I don't know her name) was pretty much cold-hearted and without empathy. When I asked her questions about the estimate she gave me, which was for blood work for my cat, she just told me she couldn't help me until I agreed to the blood test. When she went inside, her assistant was serving as an intermediary while adding on all kinds of treatments to the quote (Why didn't she just talk to me herself?). I asked if she could give me a little discount if I got all the exams done (getting close to $400 for tests I still had no answers to), and she called me unreasonable... A simple 'no' would have sufficed. What took the cake was when the vet was alone with me and told me she couldn't help me and told me to leave. I asked her to be a little more empathetic since this has never happened to my cat before and that just because she didn't care about my cat, I did. She said, "Don't you dare say that! This is my livelihood!" while pointing her finger at me less than 5 inches from my face. I was already in tears by that point and I just felt more distraught after that. Plus, I was backed into the corner so I felt even more threatened. All in all, I do not recommend going to this vet clinic unless you and your pet want to be verbally abused. Read Less

If I could put zero stars I would! WORST VETS! How did they get their jobs? How hasnt this place shut down? God give me answers. First off we took my dog Bcuz we noticed he kept crying and crying and his body would curve a certain way. They gave him medication, we figured it would work, no, went back gave him a stronger medication & sed he would be so much better after this, no, took him back! Asked them the options Bcuz they obviously can't figure it out & told us he's gonna have to have surgery on his knee that would be $2,000 dollars. We wanted a second opinion and took him to the one on Cross. And took X-rays, right away the vet knew it had nothing to do with his knees or anything with his back legs. It was infection in his tummy. Imagine if we did that pointless thousand dollar surgery to get nothing fixed?? Another situation! We took my other dog there in January, I repeat January, she was peeing blood & had crystals in her bladder & told us we needed to get her into surgery. Took her in for surgery & they stitched her up. We asked when we needed to bring her back to get the stitches out & they sed "these stitches will dissolve on their own" here we are now end of July stitches still here. We bring her to the one on cross because why would we bring our dog back here, and they told us the stitches were stainless steel & needed to be removed a long time ago! They were stuck in her skin & that the surgery wasn't even needed, she could've had antibiotics to make them dissolve! Thank god for the vets on cross. If u want ur dogs to be in a worse situation then they are, don't EVER bring them here! Looking into what can happen now! ): Read Less

I took my cat that wasn't even a year old in to see the vet because he hurt his back leg, and refused to walk at all. I told the vet that he had fleas (we live in the country) and that he was extremely sensitive to the flea shampoos (we could only leave it on for 1minute) he was extremely lethargic for a week afterwards, so we use dawn dish soap. So they vet blamed his injury on the fleas. After insisting on an xray they took it and he had a slight fracture in his upper thigh. They have him capstar to get the fleas off and told me he wouldn't have the same reaction. We had also bought revolution for our other cats. The vet put the flea drops on my cat without thinking of his allergy. When they brought him back to us I think he was having a seizure in the office but they ignored it and have him pain meds. We took him home and he died about 3 hrs. later from a seizure that was caused by the flea drops. Read Less

We took our elderly cat to this vet office and the vet that saw him was very rough with him. Then told us that we could pay 1,800 dollars for treatment or put him down and also told us that he was so sick that he would probably die even with treatment. We did not choose either option and instead took him to another vet. Today, three years after our terrible experience with this vet, our cat is still alive and well at 18 years old. In addition to the terrible way our pet was handled we are now being fraudulently charged for services that we did not receive. There are several vets that work at this clinic, and I am sure some of them are wonderful, however the vet that saw us that day happens to also be the owner of Tulare Veterinary Hospital. We are looking at our legal options and will be reporting this vet to the veterinary board. Beware! Read Less

Not sure where all these negative reviews are about. I'm sorry for the people who have had bad experiences there. I think with something like this, people only tend to review only services they're unhappy with. I moved out here from PA in August and my dog had a uti during the drive. I called the next morning after I arrived and they fit me right in. My dog was geriatric with diabetes and arthritis, and anytime I called that she was having a problem, they fit me right in. Everyone from the receptionists, to techs, to dr. Anthony were fantastic with her. I had to put my dog down 2 weeks ago, not only were they wonderful with my family, myself and my dog during the process, I also received a sympathy card signed by the staff, with my dog's paw print on it after. They went above and beyond, when I decide to get another dog, I will without a doubt take them here! Read Less

So where do I begin!? My dog had this horrible cough so I brought him in. I told them that he has been coughing and THEY HEARD HIM COUGH because he was coughing in the examination room! I was scared that he had something stuck in his throat because this happened out of no where. He was also throwing up red the night before. So the vet said "well it may be kennel cough but I'm not sure." She insisted to take X-rays to make sure nothing was stuck in there. Once the X-ray were done she then said "well I can't really tell or see in his throat." And then she said, she didn't know if it was kennel cough. WHAT DO YOU MEAN!?!? Your suppose to be the "expert" here. Then I went back in the waiting room to where I was kicked out in the 100 degree weather because my dog was contagious!!! ONE: I Thought they didn't know "what was wrong." Because they never diagnosed him with anything. Then when they did X-rays on him they had stretched him out to where his incision on where he JUST GOT NEUTERED opened Back up!! I told one of the assistance and she said it wasn't them and he's just scabbing. When I took him in 2 hours before I got there it was NOT BLEEDING AND NOT LIKE THAT until after they handled him in the back where I can not see obviously!! I rather drive my happy self somewhere else. But since this place opened up it was more of a connivence. But nope forget that. Never again. I should have listened to the first review on yelp.

I have been regularly taking my dogs to Tulare Veterinary Hospital for years to get routine shots, then recently took one of them there to get some Rimadyl after aspirin and glucosamine where no longer helping with his arthritis. The young vet tried to charge $1000 to do a work-up on the arthritis (labs, X-rays) before even considering providing treatment!! It cost me $44 for a visit, and she did not provide any medications or advice. I've decided to take my animals to more experienced vets from now on, one's who have the clinical skills to make a diagnosis and don't rely on hugely expensive tests before writing a cheap prescription.

I called Tulare Veterinary Hospital and they were able to see us that dayand my dog had to have surgery that night.

Angela, I am so sorry that your experience with us, was not to your satisfaction. We always discuss in detail with our clients regarding price before services are done. The owner was given an estimate which we did not go over. I understand that loosing a pet is a emotional time, however we here at Tulare Veterinary Hospital do not scam or take advantage of our clients. Again I am sorry the experience here with us was not to your satisfaction.

HI Loraissa, I apologize we were not able to get you in when you called at 5:30pm on April 12. Unfortunately, we are only open from 7:30am-5:30pm. Our schedule had been completed and the doctor had just left for the day. Our first priority is to our clients and yes money does play a role however, we always give an estimate before any services are done. We fully understand that the care for your pet is your top priority, which is why we suggested you take them to Tulare-Kings Veterinary Emergency Hospital. I hope your pet is doing better and if you have any questions fell free to give us a call. Thank you, Christie

Horrible service from the vet! Only giving one star because I absolutely have to. The female veterinarian (who never introduced herself so I don't know her name) was pretty much cold-hearted and without empathy. When I asked her questions about the estimate she gave me, which was for blood work for my cat, she just told me she couldn't help me until I agreed to the blood test. When she went inside, her assistant was serving as an intermediary while adding on all kinds of treatments to the quote (Why didn't she just talk to me herself?). I asked if she could give me a little discount if I got all the exams done (getting close to $400 for tests I still had no answers to), and she called me unreasonable... A simple 'no' would have sufficed. What took the cake was when the vet was alone with me and told me she couldn't help me and told me to leave. I asked her to be a little more empathetic since this has never happened to my cat before and that just because she didn't care about my cat, I did. She said, "Don't you dare say that! This is my livelihood!" while pointing her finger at me less than 5 inches from my face. I was already in tears by that point and I just felt more distraught after that. Plus, I was backed into the corner so I felt even more threatened. All in all, I do not recommend going to this vet clinic unless you and your pet want to be verbally abused. Read Less

If I could put zero stars I would! WORST VETS! How did they get their jobs? How hasnt this place shut down? God give me answers. First off we took my dog Bcuz we noticed he kept crying and crying and his body would curve a certain way. They gave him medication, we figured it would work, no, went back gave him a stronger medication & sed he would be so much better after this, no, took him back! Asked them the options Bcuz they obviously can't figure it out & told us he's gonna have to have surgery on his knee that would be $2,000 dollars. We wanted a second opinion and took him to the one on Cross. And took X-rays, right away the vet knew it had nothing to do with his knees or anything with his back legs. It was infection in his tummy. Imagine if we did that pointless thousand dollar surgery to get nothing fixed?? Another situation! We took my other dog there in January, I repeat January, she was peeing blood & had crystals in her bladder & told us we needed to get her into surgery. Took her in for surgery & they stitched her up. We asked when we needed to bring her back to get the stitches out & they sed "these stitches will dissolve on their own" here we are now end of July stitches still here. We bring her to the one on cross because why would we bring our dog back here, and they told us the stitches were stainless steel & needed to be removed a long time ago! They were stuck in her skin & that the surgery wasn't even needed, she could've had antibiotics to make them dissolve! Thank god for the vets on cross. If u want ur dogs to be in a worse situation then they are, don't EVER bring them here! Looking into what can happen now! ): Read Less

I took my cat that wasn't even a year old in to see the vet because he hurt his back leg, and refused to walk at all. I told the vet that he had fleas (we live in the country) and that he was extremely sensitive to the flea shampoos (we could only leave it on for 1minute) he was extremely lethargic for a week afterwards, so we use dawn dish soap. So they vet blamed his injury on the fleas. After insisting on an xray they took it and he had a slight fracture in his upper thigh. They have him capstar to get the fleas off and told me he wouldn't have the same reaction. We had also bought revolution for our other cats. The vet put the flea drops on my cat without thinking of his allergy. When they brought him back to us I think he was having a seizure in the office but they ignored it and have him pain meds. We took him home and he died about 3 hrs. later from a seizure that was caused by the flea drops. Read Less

We took our elderly cat to this vet office and the vet that saw him was very rough with him. Then told us that we could pay 1,800 dollars for treatment or put him down and also told us that he was so sick that he would probably die even with treatment. We did not choose either option and instead took him to another vet. Today, three years after our terrible experience with this vet, our cat is still alive and well at 18 years old. In addition to the terrible way our pet was handled we are now being fraudulently charged for services that we did not receive. There are several vets that work at this clinic, and I am sure some of them are wonderful, however the vet that saw us that day happens to also be the owner of Tulare Veterinary Hospital.

Not sure where all these negative reviews are about. I'm sorry for the people who have had bad experiences there. I think with something like this, people only tend to review only services they're unhappy with. I moved out here from PA in August and my dog had a uti during the drive.

Everyone from the receptionists, to techs, to dr. Anthony were fantastic with her. I had to put my dog down 2 weeks ago, not only were they wonderful with my family, myself and my dog during the process, I also received a sympathy card signed by the staff, with my dog's paw print on it after.

So where do I begin!? My dog had this horrible cough so I brought him in. I told them that he has been coughing and THEY HEARD HIM COUGH because he was coughing in the examination room! I was scared that he had something stuck in his throat because this happened out of no where. He was also throwing up red the night before. So the vet said "well it may be kennel cough but I'm not sure." She insisted to take X-rays to make sure nothing was stuck in there. Once the X-ray were done she then said "well I can't really tell or see in his throat." And then she said, she didn't know if it was kennel cough. WHAT DO YOU MEAN!?!? Your suppose to be the "expert" here. Then I went back in the waiting room to where I was kicked out in the 100 degree weather because my dog was contagious!!! ONE: I Thought they didn't know "what was wrong." Because they never diagnosed him with anything. Then when they did X-rays on him they had stretched him out to where his incision on where he JUST GOT NEUTERED opened Back up!! I told one of the assistance and she said it wasn't them and he's just scabbing. When I took him in 2 hours before I got there it was NOT BLEEDING AND NOT LIKE THAT until after they handled him in the back where I can not see obviously!!
