Brought my 16 year old cat in due to a bad wound she created with her claw. I cannot remember the vets name but she was amazing. Never in my lifetime of owning pets have I felt so comforted by a veterinarian. She was so compassionate and made me feel so much better about my cat, because I honestly thought my cat wouldn't make it due to an infection with her claw. My sweet (oldie but goodie) kitty is still by my side, and I have this vets office to thank for it. I am so sorry I don't remember the vets name but because of her I have nothing but amazing things to say about this vet. Read Less

These people are true Cat lovers! I'm sure they love and care for all of the animals who come through, but I felt like they really took care of my little guy when he needed it. Attentive and loving staff, who gave me suggestions on how to save, even with their reasonable prices. So grateful to have found our new vet! Read Less

Since moving to Ventura Los Angeles, I have tried at least 3 vets in the last 2 years in the Ventura area. I will be honest, I was very unhappy with each experience. A friend of mine recommended Ventura Veterinary Hospital and I couldn't have been more happy with the outcome. I am so happy and relieved that I won't have to look outside of the city to find care for my dog Timmy. Just last week I had Timmy's teeth cleaned and was pleased that prior to the procedure I was offered two methods, one anesthetic free, which was significantly less expensive to the the second option performed under anesthesia. I was provided a detailed estimate with a low and high end figure which provided for the cost of every contingency or unforeseen problem. When I picked Timmy up I had a great consultation with the Dr and she went over what she encountered and what she had done. She did extract one tooth but decided to take a conservative approach to save a different tooth rather than pull it. Most Vets would have pulled it and charged me. My bill was well with in the lower estimated cost. I found the staff extremely helpful, concerned and caring. I found both Doctors (and owners) kind, gentle, knowledgeable, cost conscious, and thorough. This was a gold standard experience that I fully recommend and I am so happy to have found them.

My Husband and I wanted a new Vet. Our friends told us about Ventura Veterinary Hospital.  My husband and I went to meet the Vet and get paperwork.  We wanted to get a real for the place without our dogs. We were greeted with smiles and kindness.  They also accept the Care Card. We made appointment for our 2 bichions. The visit was amazing!  The Vet doctor Marianne Regnier walked in and sat on the floor with our dogs! WOW! Our dogs came first. It was great. One of our bichions chews her paws all day everyday. Our little Peanut was miserable.  The doctor recommend new allergy shot. That same day, Peanut stopped chewing her paws. It has been a week and half. No chewing, biting and her disposition is sweeter. She happy. She wants to us to hold her.  This has changed our house. Peanut was full of anxiety.  Now she is calm, sweet and the dog we have always wanted.Ventura Veterinary Hospital also call us a week later to check on little Peanut . We could not be happier with the staff and doctor. Please check them out! Thank you Ventura Veterinary Hospital for your kindness and love for  animals! Bill Jeralds and Shannon Lampman Read Less

Amazing people!!!!! Dr. Marianne and Dr. A.J. are the models for what every vet should be. My dogs are so comfortable there . The entire staff is so genuinely kind, intelligent and compassionate. I love how much time they set aside even for the most minor visits to spend with pet and owner. They are open to other ideas, and NEVER make you feel like they just want your money. If they don't know the answers right away they will research and consult to figure it out. Dr. Marianne saved my Mastiffs life who was on chemo with a stage 4 mast cell tumor, while at the same time had a serious auto immune issue. She wouldn't give up on my Giselle, when most other vets would have. Our girl went on to live another totally healthy amazing 2+ years. I've moved out of the area but drive a hour one way because it's totally worth it! Dr. Marianne and Dr. A.J. Have done the right thing by many animals countless times even when it meant staying way over to deal with a emergency, coming in on very few days off to check on hospital patients, even bitting the bullet and performing emergency surgery on a bloated dog not knowing for sure if they'd ever get paid. They just did what was in there hearts, didn't let that poor dog out the door and saved its life. Again Amazing! Oh by the way, Susan B. Is an idiot! Read Less

I knew I was at the right practitioner when Dr. Marianne said hello to me, then sat down on the floor and loved up my dogs. These people intend to care for animals. period. I HIGHLY recommend this Vet hospital. Kind, responsible, reasonable - they aren't budget buster. My first visit, $46. Thank you! Read Less

There isn't enough I can say about how caring and ethical they have been with me and my fur babies. If there is an over the counter cost friendly alternative to a prescription they will always tell you about it. They will consider your financial situation when planning for treatment and care, and have never over sold me. I would recommend this facility to all my closest friends for their pets health care needs. Read Less

For anyone who knows me or reads my reviews, I am the proud dog Mother of Lucy Desiree, AKA Lucy D, Boo Boo, stink butt, and a list of other of other nicknames. I rescued Lucy in 2014 from SPARC in Santa Paula and brought her into my 1 bedroom midtown tri-plex cottage with an abundant amount of ease, being that she was 7 when I adopted her, she was already potty trained, knew basic commands and would only bark if the UPS driver came to the door. So when my next door neighbor called  one day at work back in November to tell me that Lucy had not stopped barking and was scratching at the door frantically, I of course asked if I could take a long lunch to check on her, which turned into the entire day, because the other neighbor sleeps days and was not a happy camper to being awoken by a high pitched yapping. From then on it hasn't stopped, when I'm home she's quiet as a mouse, but as soon as I'm headed for the door she begins to bark, she's chewed up by door jam, ruined a set of blinds, and started in on my wood shutters. I've tried numerous things to try and deter it, I'd taken her to the vet I've used for her since the day I got her, and I have nothing against that Veterinary clinic in general, but because it's such a busy clinic,  I needed a smaller office, with a more hands on approach and I also needed to a veterinarian that was going to have the time to work one on one with us to get this resolved.Once Dr. Maryann examined Lucy to rule out anything medically wrong with her, she then spoke to me extensively, and I learned that I'm going to be in doggy boot-camp for the next few months as I try to remedy the separation anxiety Lucy has suddenly been plagued with,  as well as correcting the issue of Lucy thinking she's the boss of me. She also suggested I get a white noise machine for my neighbor, ha ha. The office is small and has a more intimate feel to it, the front desk staff are pleasant and have a wonderful love of animals, often coming out and petting and playing with our pets to put them at ease.  The parking is tight, so I might suggest to park on the street, as to be easier to get out of the parking lot, as if you are parking in the business lot, you will have to back up on Thompson Blvd and unless it's a quiet time of day, you might have quite the wait. I'm so glad my friend friend and neighbor Rob recommended Ventura Veterinary,  I actually feel there is light at the end of the tunnel. Read Less

Dr. Ajay is a life- savior.  He's honest, kind, very knowledgeable and trustworthy.  I had a bad experience with another vet who charged a lot of money andalmost killed my dog.  Drs. Ajay  & Marianne & their staff are wonderful people!  Affordable & honest & dependable. Read Less

Over the many years of taking my MANY pets to vets, and then roaming around looking for a new one after our favorite retired (Dr. Jim), we went back VERY RELUCTANTLY to this vet clinic/hospital, and we were delightedly surprised. We met with Dr. Mariann, who was the first vet EVER to make our 4 -5 year old puppy happy to be there, then our Female cat Chester didn't even do anything to protest. Sammy is always a little bit of a protester, no matter what, but even he felt more comfortable there. Dr. Mariann is the best, she saved our cat Sammy who had to have immediate surgery after he somehow cut himself outside. And they fit him in immediately that day, in a slot right after we called. They pet the animals and give them attention to make them feel as comfortable as possible. And they give them attention to distract them from the shots too! The moment we stepped back into that clinic and met with Dr. Mariann, the vibe and fear we felt for our animals fearful feelings subsided, and we knew for a fact we were in good hands. She is definitely an old soul. I haven't met a mean or rude person there, and if they hired such a person in the past, let's just say they are gone now. They just know how a safe feeling environment is for pets and humans alike, and they provide one. Definitely, pet approved and recommended! Read Less

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would.  I moved here to Ventura five years ago from the San Fernando Valley where I had an outstanding Vet to whom I would return when needed.  But practicality set in and I knew I had to find another Vet.  Any of you who are as devoted to your pets, as I, know that finding someone to care for them is at least as important as finding a human doctor; some may think it's even more important.  Thank god my wonderful friend recommended Dr.s A.J. and Marianne.  I just had my four pups in their office today for routine exams and again, as so many times in the past, my visit with Dr. Marianne confirmed just how caring, honest, dedicated, ethical and knowledgeable both doctors are.  These are the types of people who truly care about your animals and are definitely NOT just in their practice to make a buck.  You know you can truly count on the advise they give.  At one point I found myself taking one of my dogs to another vet and although I was impressed with all the high tech equipment in their office I was less than satisfied with the very clinical way at which my dog's issues were addressed.  I actually like that VVH isn't "clinical" looking.  I mean, after all, there are animals traipsing in out and all day and not not one of my animals ever displays anxiety going into the office.  I think it has to do with the laid back and gentle atmosphere.  And by the way, I noticed someone had made a negative post about urine smell in the office.  I have NEVER experienced that until today when my own silly dog peed in the exam room.  So do yourself and, more importantly your pet, a favor and contact VVH for your veterinary needs.  You will be so happy you did.

When your vets are a husband and wife team who say things like, 'last night at dinner we were talking about Zorro (my cat)..." you know they are special! Dr AJ & Dr Marianne have hearts of gold and offer excellent medical care. Unlike most vet offices, they are also practical about money and will offer choices whenever possible. Nice staff too.

Anyone out there looking for a GREAT Vet,,,, You have to go to Ventura Veterinarian Hospital on Thompson. Dr. A.J. Regnier and his wife Marianne, are awesome. They don't just bring you in and ship you out. They really take their time with your pet and explain things to YOU. Love these two!! Oh and the staff is pretty awesome too!! Read Less

Dr. Marianne treated Roxy like she was her own dog. After speaking with 10 clinics from Ventura to Bakersfield, this clinic made an appointment in a week and created space to do a surgery the day of the appointment. The cost was 50% less than other Santa Barbara locations and 150% less than the local emergency hospitals. 'Everything you need, nothing you don't,' kind of attitude PLUS compassion, flexibility, practicality, generosity, kindness, patience and the office staff is the same. Read Less

Dr Marriane and staff and Dr Aj are the best. The heart and caring attitude towards my mom and her beloved pal Schroeder was kind, compassionate and caring beyond a way words can ever express. Such a tough time but it helped that Schroeder and my mom were surrounded by you all. Read Less

My little guy Archie had a ear infection, made an appt with VVH and it turns out he had 3 foxtails in his right ear:( I was quoted $212 and walked out at $147:) Dr AJ was patient, honest, friendly and took his time:))) Archie was worried when he sniffed his way through the office to our room. Dr. AJ came in, shook my hand and proceeded to sit on the floor to ease my 20lb Beagle mix:) Gave him treats, talked calmly and won the trust of my "Farpy" I've never had a vet only charge you for what was used instead of a flat fee:) Dr. AJ and his lovely wife Dr. Marianne have each treated one of my dogs and they have gone above and beyond my expectations each time:) I appreciate all that they do. They're truly doing what they love and you can definitely feel it:) Read Less

I called early in the morning to get my cat in because of an eye injury, spoke with a nice Lady who said they would squeeze me in the same day, when I got there I was told I didn't have an appointment by a very rude lady and she turned me away.. This is the only place I called! I will never take my pets there.. Read Less

Dr. Marianne and all the staff were considerably professional and sympathetic when my elderly eighteen-year-old kitty's health deteriorated. I was given additional time with my best fur friend, and they were comforting to me in the final weeks and decision. Read Less

Dr. AJ and Dr. Marianne are awesome! We came to them for a second opinion after our regular vet recommended $1600 in exploratory testing for our dog's swollen leg. Dr. AJ and Marianne approached our case a lot more calmly and said we should try stabilizing the leg for a few days and see if the swelling goes down before assuming the worst.  When our dog chewed off his cast they even re-wrapped his leg for us at no charge. I even said I could do a blood panel if they recommended but at this time they said it wasn't necessary.  I feel like they are just really honest people and have fair pricing. Also, I like how they are with the animals a lot more than our vet in Burbank.  They are a lot more gentle and they talked to our dog and let him sniff any tools they used before they touched him. They really seem to love pets which made me feel much more at ease. We will be making the hour drive from now on to see them as our vet. Thank you!! Read Less

We are driving back from our stop at VVH and have not stopped talking about what an AMAZING experience it was. We were driving through Ventura on a road trip, and needed to schedule a last minute appointment (I'm talking 15 minutes notice) for our pup. We were late, and we STILL got the most comprehensive exam we ever experienced with any pet, EVER! Dr AJ was sooooo helpful and explained everything above and beyond our wildest expectations, eased our worries, and made us feel immediately comfortable with his vast knowledge and true love of animals. We live 5 hours away but are already talking about how we can work in our next checkup here on a road trip. Read Less

Dr. AJ and his wife took care of my Lab Hoss,in a timely, efficiently manner, with lots of TLC. I really appreciate how his wife got my dog sedated quickly  as he was in severe pain from a dislocated hip.she also accepted him in at the time of day when it was busy and could have sent us to the ER. Thanks again Ventura! Read Less

Dr AJ saved my dog's life!! He did an emergency surgery when one of the Vets in Carpinteria had given up on my dog. He is a wonderful Vet and LOVES animals!! His staff is amazing and the atmosphere is wonderful. If you want a Vet that cares for your animal more than he cares for you :) then you should go see them!! Read Less

Dr. AJ, his wife, Dr. Marianne, and the entire staff at Ventura veterinary hospital are by far the most compassionate veterinary services that I have EVER encountered!!! I can not say enough about these people and their love for animals. My sweet pup Otis has been having seizures over the last six months or so... One week ago he had two in one day. I thought we were going to lose him. Dr. AJ spent time with me on the phone, calmed me down and prescribed new medication. Otis is much better, and Dr. AJ has called three times this week to see how Otis is feeling. I've never even had that with my personal doctors!!! Thank you so very much!!!

I have been going to Ventura Veterinary Hospital for a few years now. With several dogs and cats, we go there very, very regularly. The past two or three times, I have walked into the lobby and smelled a urine odor, today being especially strong. I have mentioned to the staff about the smell, and they have said they clean that area. It was not said to be rude, it was said to make them aware that the urine odor was strong. The vets office never smelled that way until recently. When Dr. A.J. came into the exam room to look at my cat, he proceeded to tell me every time I come to the office, I complain about the urine smell. He then proceeded to lecture me about how rude I was about complaining about the urine smell and that he had received a complaint about me. If all this was coming from Dr. Marianne, I would be devastated, but it was coming from Dr. A.J. I have never cared for him and his incessant talking. His rudeness was beyond uncalled for. It was undeserved, and so very unprofessional! I did nothing wrong. The urine odor was there. It was a stronger odor than the last time I had been, about four weeks prior. I made the comment about the urine smell two, maybe three times at the most. I was not making this up. I told the staff about the smell because a vets office should not smell like it did. If I was so upset about the odor, I would have found another vet. I told the staff about the smell because it was obvious they were unaware of it. Dr. A.J. continued to insult me until I finally decided to just take my cat and leave, and all because I said there was a strong urine smell in the lobby. Needless to say, we will take our pets and our money to another vets office that treats customers with respect. Read Less

Today was my 1st visit and it was such a wonderful experience. Everyone there is so nice and Dr. Marianne was a truly caring and understanding person, who listened and advised me on what to do....She is wonderful and I will never go anywhere else....I am so happy I found this!Thank you all for your kindness and help. Rico fell in love with the Dr. He KNOWS who is best! Read Less

Last week my dog was in severe distress. I was on vacation in Ventura - I live in Santa Clarita. My dog collapsed for "no good reason" and I rushed to the closest vet, which happened to be Ventura Veterinary. The entire staff rushed to my aid - Dr. Marianne immediately took care of my dog. I was there for over an hour. I then took my dog home, and had to return again - she was still having problems. By this time it was almost 6:00 PM, closing time. Dr. Marianne waited for me to get there and did an ultrasound. SHE DID NOT CHARGE ME at all for the second visit. She stayed overtime to help me. As it turned out, my dog had an attack of pancreatitis, which resolved itself in 24 hours - but the whole experience was very scary, especially not being close to our vet in Santa Clarita. I would highly recommend this vet, and the entire staff who work there - they went above and beyond for my dog, Rosie - and they even called the next day to see how she was doing! AMAZING!!!Read Less

Love this place. Everyone truly cares and the prices aren't crazy like some of the places in town. The drs actually spend time getting to know your pets and not just shuffling you in and out.Thank you Dr's Marianne and AJ!  So glad to have found your location! Read Less

Even though the circumstances were extremely sad, everyone was wonderful at Ventura Veterinary Hospital. These people love animals and it shows. From now on I will go no place else for the care of my pets. Thank you for all of your patients and kindness from the front desks to the Doctors. Read Less

New adopted Beagle. The staff was great and understood the "new" thing. The lady Vet was on all fours along with my Beagle. Liked that the staff watched every animal coming in to see if they were on a leash (they explained that to me before I left. It was for the comfort of all. YEA!). The lady Vet did her exam without stressing my new furry-love out. Much appreciated!Read Less

First time we've taken our Wolf Husky - Maya to this office. The minute my husband & I stepped through the door with our family dog, we were greeted with smiles & such pleasant people. We couldn't be happier we choose this place, the Vets, husband and wife, so kind, treated our dog with such care. Dr. Marian even tried to warm up her hands by blowing on them before examining Maya....lol. Thank you for your great service, that is now Maya's permanent doggie doctor. :) Read Less

Dr. Marianne has been the best for my two pocket beagles, Juno and Polly. She has handled everything, from puppy pack exams and vaccinations to spaying to swallowing of things that perhaps should not be in little dog tummies. Everyone on the staff can answer your question and it is obvious that they all care about each and every animal that comes through the door. When I needed to make sure my pups were "cat-friendly" for a group situation, she obliged by popping out of the exam room and returning with a big cat for my girls to get used to. It worked. (At least it works with cats that don't run away.) If you want a caring, competent vet, this is the place. Read Less

I had been taking my west highland terrior to Bristol animal hospital and I had a female vet that was rude, blunt and totally Un helpful. I'd like to state that I understand you have to have thick skin to be in this business but it was aparent my dog was dying and was on a massive downward spiral and money was a problem for me when it came to the prices she wanted to charge me. I asked to make payments she said "no" which I understood partially but she could see my distress and my dogs distress so I always left feeling sick to my stomach. She also gave me false information regarding a lump on my dogs tail. Which I will never get over. My mom suggested I try her vet as a one last shot, dr. Marianne reigner. I agreed. I want to state... This woman... is a true hero... A truly amazing woman whom I will appreciate for the rest of my life and I hope she sees this some day. The staff greeted me so compassionately. Like they genuinely cared about my dog and didn't treat me like another dollar walking through the door. Which made me truly comfortable, they got us in a room instantly I believe I waited all of 3 minutes.  And dr. Reigner was extremely extremely passionate and detailed in explanations. I was very teary and upset and I explained I didn't have much money and due to the current condition on my dog she offered me a free ex ray which made me cry.... A woman who didn't know me but knew the dire situation would do this for me... I was truly touched.  But it gets better... she gave my baby boy some injections as a last shot chance at hope meanwhile her staff and her were extremely attentive to him. .. and us... no joke. Her husband was even in the room asking if help was needed. She did a free ultra sound as well... showing me the masses in side him, and in his kidneys that were now failing and that his live was dense which wasn't good either.  As if that wasn't enough we went to pay and leave and all they charged us was for the appointment! We asked several times "are you sure? Are you sure?! She gave injections.. those aren't on here" and the staff said "yes. This is all she'd like to have you pay." A mere 40 something dollars. .. I cried some more. Mind you my dog was paralyzed at this point in his back legs and couldn't walk. They kept him clean provided diapers and a clean new towel. It came down to needing to uthinize him... Because this was a cancer spreading through his body and there was a mere 5% chance of survival and he was already past the help line... In reality.  This was a heart breaking choice for me. Her staff called me to check in. Sweet tender voices. Kind words. And the day finally arrived. Marianne sat with us, answered questions and was consoling. She was kind and sweet and truly helped me through the process. She offered me a box to put him in because I wanted to bury him. When I got home and unpacked him.... He was sweetly wrapped in a sheet with his head and legs positioned sweetly with a little bouquet of flowers in between his arms. Cried some more. This office, these people, are wonderful.... I mean that with every piece of me... I recommend them on every level... Thank you ventura veterinary hospital,  thank you dr.Reigner. I truly admire and appreciate you all. Read Less

I originally went here because it is across the street from me, and when I rescued my pup this office gave me a free check up. I honestly didn't expect to fall in love with the place! It's been a year now and every time I go in they are so amazing! I have 3 dogs and over the past year there have been some emergencies. My little dog got attacked my a great dane....I called them and they got me in right away. Within 10 minutes. After everything was said and done the vet visit was less then $60...you can't beat that price for the level of care! Then after Easter my big dog ate over a pound of chocolate when I was in the shower.....again they rushed him in and again excellent service. The vet doesn't rush you and takes the time to sit with your animal and answer any questions you may have. That means a lot to a crazy dog mamma like myself. If you are looking for an affordable vet with high quality care then this is the place for you. I highly recommend Ventura veterinary hospital to anyone and everyone! Read Less
