My little dog Bonnie was suffering from a chronic back problem for weeks. She would cry in pain and didn't seem to be improving after visiting another animal care facility. I tried several very expensive treatments with no positive results. I took her to Advanced Animal Care after a recommendation from a friend. After just one visit she improved immediately. A couple of days later she was pain free and back to her old self. I will never go anywhere else. Advanced Animal Care is the absolute best and extremely affordable. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Read Less

I found a little baby bird on my parking lot this morning, he was injured and some kind of lizard was attacking him. I tries to find his nest but didn't succeed.I have been to 3 different places and no one agreed to take care of it, two other locations even said they could keep him but they would euthanize him... They are the only place that agreed to take care of it... I even asked twice if they were going to kill it, and they were horrified by the question.So just for that, I think they deserve 5 stars...

I have been using them for 5 yrs now since moving here from Arizona. They prices are reasonable, they care about your pet and don't try to sell you things they don't need. I have and will continue to recommend Advanced animal care to any one that considers their pet family. Read Less

Let me start by saying that I really like Dr. Pederson on a personal level. It's not her bedside manner that I have any problem with, it's much more about her ability to listen to her patients' owners and give credence to their observations and concerns. We have an elderly cat named Buster, who started losing weight and drinking and urinating excessively. From prior experience with another cat, we knew these symptoms could be signs of kidney disease, a fairly common issue with older male cats. We took Buster to see Dr. Pederson, and asked if she would check him for kidney disease. She diagnosed him with dental problems (which, to be fair, was a common issue for Buster, and a contributing factor to his health problems) Dr. Pederson told me that she needed to do a couple of extractions and then he would be fine. Since the dental problems were ongoing, and he had very few teeth left, we told her to just remove the remaining teeth, as they were not going to be of any use, and we didn't want to put an elderly cat under anesthesia any more than we had to. She didn't. When I looked at his surgical bloodwork I saw that his kidney values were elevated, and pointed this out to her. She shrugged it off and said that it was a result of the dental problems. I asked if we should re-check his blood work in a week or two to confirm her diagnosis, and she again brushed off my suggestion and said we should wait another 4 months until his annual checkup to re-check the kidney numbers. I had my doubts, but because she seemed very nice and competent, I agreed, and did not seek a second opinion. A month later, Buster is dropping weight in a drastic fashion and we took him back to Dr. Pederson and demanded that the bloodwork be run. As expected, he was in early stage kidney failure, a process that cannot be reversed, but could have been slowed had we begun treatment when we first brought him in. We begin his treatment and he responds well. Another month later and we must leave town for a combination of work travel and a friend's wedding. Dr. Pederson suggested letting us board Buster with them at Advanced, and we would run another kidney screen while he was in. We later get a call from another doctor we've never met, asking why he's got Buster, and why we are running the bloodwork. Dr. Pederson had left town without giving him any information on what was going on with the current boarders and no ability to access their medical records. That was the last time we took Buster to Advanced. Now, 5 months later, and Buster's dental issues have returned, because a) she didn't remove the teeth we requested, and b) she didn't remove all the roots of the teeth she did extract. This is extremely frustrating as this situation is exactly what we wanted to avoid when we asked her to take all of his teeth. I cannot stress enough how upset we were with Dr. Pederson and her unwillingness to respect our knowledge of our cat and wishes for his care. Read Less

I work at a store next to this vet office and everyday I see the staff walk the dogs on the burning hot asphalt to use the restroom. I voiced my opinions to the actual vet and she told me "he lives in Vegas and can walk on this ground all day". I'm sorry but you also live in Vegas but you wouldn't walk out there without shoes on!! Also in winter they wash and blow dry the dogs outside!!! Beware if you board your animals there!! Read Less

I have long admired Dr. Pederson for her common sense care of my dogs and cats over a period of more than 10 years. I have been rescuing American Cocker Spaniels for more than 30 years, and I have dealt with many veterinarians in that time. They were good; Dr. Pederson is as good if not better. The range of her knowledge and care is very much appreciated. Read Less

This is the absolute best office. The entire staff is so kind and so caring. I have 2 dogs that have been going here for 6 or more years. They always get us in and are happy to help. Elena Pederson has so much knowledge and we are confident she gives our dogs the best care. After all, our dogs are a big part of our family. Read Less

This vet and staff are terrific. I've been taking Charlie, my chow mix, to Dr Pedersen for past 3 years for regular checkups and other issues. He's not socialize and has been 86'designed from other vets. He's a different pet with the doctor. She has such a great bedside manner and he allows her to do whatever necessary to keep him healthy. Best vet in Las Vegas. I travel 180 miles from Arizona for Doctor Pedersen to treat Charlie. Read Less

This is simply the best animal hospital in all of Las Vegas!  The entire staff there was so welcoming and nice.  Dr. Pederson was very knowledgeable, she knew exactly what was wrong with my husky.  It can be really frightening leaving your pet's life (that is like your child) in a stranger's hand but Dr. Peterson did a amazing job!

Dr. Pederson is simply amazing! Great doctor! Great staff and great personality. You go in there all stressed about your pet and their personality will cheer you up.She is just an amazing human being and a professional and i would recommend her to everyone! Read Less

Dr. Pederson is truly the most caring, and highest quality veterinarian I have ever used in over 40y of dog ownership. She is honest as a day is long but also empathetic at appropriate times. I would not hesitate to refer any | all pet owners to her for consultation and treatment. She has been at the same location for over ten years and definitely knows her stuff. Read Less

I have 2 dogs and as a new resident of Las Vegas, I was worried about where to take my pets. I was referred by a colleague and I am impressed. The vet is no nonsense and answered all of my questions with a poilte demeanor. I also had my new puppy spayed there and there weren't any problems at all In fact they offer laser surgery which helps pets heal faster. I agree that this office is also very clean, which is why I am boarding my dogs there for my next vacation. Read Less
