Vca Veterinary Care Animal Hospital And Referral Center
Albuquerque, New Mexico
General Info
VCA Veterinary Care Animal Hospital and Referral Center in Albuquerque delivers veterinary services that empower pet owners across New Mexico through an educational approach combined with collaborative methods to respond effectively to subtle health indicators. The first appointment involves setting the environmental stage where pets get used to auditory stimuli, lighting conditions, and spatial arrangements. From the instant animals enter, veterinarians monitor their movements while tracking social interactions, pause zones, breathing patterns, and touch responses. Physical examinations evaluate coat condition along with hydration status and gum coloration while assessing limb functionality and joint responsiveness together with abdominal firmness and muscular stability. By examining owner feedback the intake picture becomes complete because recent appetite changes along with grooming routines and interaction shifts plus vocalization patterns help determine next steps. VCA Veterinary Care Animal Hospital and Referral Center delivers structured services that encompass lab panels dental procedures surgical prep and recovery age-adjusted diagnostics and preventative wellness mapping. Each service milestone is explained in detail with visual progress tools available for multi-visit plans. The team assists owners in deciphering animal body language throughout recovery periods to identify behaviors that indicate either readiness or reluctance which makes home care more intuitive. Behavioral benchmarks serve as the primary mapping criteria for follow-up visits instead of relying solely on calendar dates. Owners should monitor observable changes such as sleep cycles eye contact duration surface preferences and mobility gradients to add context to each return check-in. This ensures decisions are made with confidence and continuity. VCA Veterinary Care Animal Hospital and Referral Center establishes a clinical partnership with pet families across Albuquerque and New Mexico that prioritizes knowledge, patience, and visibility to ensure active collaborative care from the first day.

Dr Stacy Peterson is incredible! We waited years to have cataract surgery on our pug and I wish we hadn't. Our 4 year old pug had her surgery a month ago and has had to see Dr. Peterson on a weekly basis (sometimes multiple times) due to some overseen complications. She has dealt with Rosie with love and the utmost concern for her health from the moment we began this journey. She genuinely loves her patients and has treated our family with the same care she would treat her own. I cannot recommend her enough and thank the entire team at VCA for their professionalism, consistency, cleanliness, and love. The photo below is from her day of surgery :)

Rescued this Bearded Dragon, who is suffering a broken leg and neglected from it's previous owner and had previously been seen at VCA, to see what could be done to help her and explained I had no funds. Shirley was very helpful in providing me answers and helping this dragon to the extent she could without having the finances. Also, called for Shirley this morning to ask how much or what needs to be done to save the dragon's leg and am now going to set up a go fund me account to help this innocent creature. Thank you very much for all your help and understanding!

Horrible Place to go , DO NOT COME HERE. These people will tell you what happening is the worst to get you to pay unnecessary amounts of money. Brought my Pregnant Dog in around 1 o’clock because she was having small contractions but no puppy’s had shown up after 24 hours. She proceeded to tell me that my dog was having a false labor, or false contractions, and that she wasn’t dilated at all. she continued to say that we had to do Xrays, an ultra sounds and a C section on my female immediately. she said she thought the pups were already dead inside her, and my female dog would die next if we didn’t do so. (even though we could clearly see the pups moving inside) After that she suggested that if we didn’t have the money to do the C section we should go to animal humane and abort the already full term pups inside of her , and get her fixed for free.. I paid 120$ to hear all of this. ALL OF WHICH WAS FALSE. I denied everything she said and took my female home to give her some more time. within 20 minutes of being back home , Labor started and 5 Healthy pups were born . None died. OBVIOUSLY SHE WAS DILATED. she was not experienced AT ALL. THESE ARE THE TYPE OF PEOPLE YOU ARE BRINGING YOUR BABIES TO. The pups are currently just fine and Mom is fine as-well! Lookout for the Red Headed vet. With major freckles and jacked up teeth! She will hurt your babies and rob your pockets! Overall I lost 120$ but I’m glad I gained the knowledge to know there are money hungry people , who don’t care for you or your loves at this horrible place. NEVER.GOING.BACK.

Staff are friendly, kind and knowledgeable. We have had to take our cat here twice and very pleased with how quickly they do an initial inspection to see if the animal is in an emergency condition and then make an effort to see to their condition as soon as they can given the need to see emergencies first. Great job explaining what is going on and what they found in their examination.

I have taken all of my animals to VCA on Montgomery for many years. These include dogs cats birds and reptiles so I have had the opportunity to work with many of the outstanding doctors there. At all times everyone has been extremely professional and caring. The front office staff is amazing and all of the doctors are very knowledgeable and work with you to provide the best care for your pets. If necessary they will make a referral to a specialist for additional care. The fact that they have 24 hour service has been a wonderful benefit for me several times. VCA is also where I board my animals if I need to go out of town and they take extremely good care of them. I have referred friends and other family members to VCA and they are also very happy with the services provided. I do not anticipate ever taking one of my pets to a different facility. 😺 🐕 🐦 🐍. We all love VCA!

We took our cat Gray and asked if he had rabies or the plague. After $750.00 they didn't know and wanted more test at a few hundred each. I don't think they are license veterinarian or any clue about animals. My cat is not doing well and it frustrating that I could have done the diagnosis at a my cost.

Dr. Parker, Maddie, and the other young lady (I regret that I didn't get her name) that assisted me at 2 am are good people. They are going to do what they can to provide the care your pet needs, while providing you with encouragement along the way.
I ultimately had to put my beloved little dog to sleep, as her age was too great to justify putting her through costly treatments that may had only provided temporary relief. The day after she was put to rest, I found a lovely sympathy card in my mailbox, which included an imprint of my dog's paw! A touching gesture from a caring crew.
I would highly recommend VCA hospital on Montgomery.

I took my ferret in months ago and had close to 500 dollars€ worth of tests done and they could not determine what was making him ill. I left with antibiotics and pain medicine, he improved over the next few weeks but was not 100%. The vet had recommended x-rays and ultrasounds as our next steps and possibly surgery. This past week he started showing some of the same symptoms and they had become more severe. My ferret is already older and was obviously in pain and I knew what the next steps were. I made the hard decision to euthanize him and not have him suffer through more tests and possible surgeries. I took him in and after 10 minutes a tech came back and stated that his €problem€ was very common among ferrets and was controllable. I pointed out his previous negative test results (he had already been tested for this) and ongoing issues. The attitude I received was shocking, the tech kept focusing on this one test and ignoring his other symptoms. When I said, I had made my decision she acted as if I was putting my animal down needlessly. The sad truth is she did not care about my animal and VCA was just looking to get more money from me by trying to give me false hope and putting a very sick animal through unnecessary tests.

I drove in from Texas for Christmas and my poor dog was so stressed about being in a new environment (with a possibly possessed cat) that he made himself very sick. After he started behaving erratically and vomiting everywhere, I found VCA on google. Gave them a call and they were happy to listen to what my dog was doing and then give me a recommendation that I bring him in.
Brought him in at around 11:30 at night on Christmas Eve. The staff could not have been nicer or more sympathetic towards my poor dog! Even after he vomited multiple times on their floor, they continually assured me it was no big deal and happens all the time.
The vet was great, as were the techs. They gave my poor pup fluids and meds and sent us home with some medication and some very well written and detailed care instructions. My bill was very reasonable as well. I had come in expecting to spend much more than they charged me.
It's very nerve racking being in a different place with a very sick dog late at night, but VCA made the situation about as stress free as possible for both me and my dog. I would highly recommend them!

My elderly 80 yr old mom took her dog who was foaming at the mouth, couldn't walk and was dying and they took multiple tests on her Maltese and charged her $2,000 as her dog was literally dying while my mother lives on social security! My brother who has ms and a brain injury was with her and I feel these people took EXTREME advantage of them. They are pirahannas! They simply should have put my mother's dog down in a kind and humane manner without making him suffer or my mother and giving her hope! Now my mother also has to pay $60 a month out of her social security which is hurting her immensely! I am going to file a complaint with better business bureau.

My young dog is dead at their hands. I came in and said she was weak and was afraid she wouldn't make it. I said she had been sick for 3 days. The female doctor wouldn't let me in the back room with her and when she came out she said she would be okay and had approximately 10 estimates of care (so all she did was work on how much money they could make). When I said I would take the antibiotics at home she went back to give my dog yet another test and she was now in a coma!!!!! Naturally all these stupid vets say is to euthanize and then still charge me over $300.00. I am devastated as this pup was only 16 months old and her brother and mom and dad are with me. She should have lived they did not listen to me when I came in and said please help her she looked like she was dying at home. I said she had been throwing up for 3 days and when the dumb doctor in the end after it was too late, asked when the last time she ate! Her blood sugar was too low now, what did they not get when I said she had puked for 3 days? I will NEVER take any animal here they are incompetent! I will be grieving for a long time. If you love your pet stay he hell away from here!

This was our first experience with VCA Pet ED. We were literally shocked and unprepared for the level of professionalism, empathy, and sincere concern that we received. We have never experienced this level of care and concern before...especially for a chicken.
Thank you for being so great,

Staff are friendly, kind and knowledgeable. We have had to take our cat here twice and very pleased with how quickly they do an initial inspection to see if the animal is in an emergency condition and then make an effort to see to their condition as soon as they can given the need to see emergencies first. Great job explaining what is going on and what they found in their examination.

I have taken all of my animals to VCA on Montgomery for many years. These include dogs cats birds and reptiles so I have had the opportunity to work with many of the outstanding doctors there. At all times everyone has been extremely professional and caring. The front office staff is amazing and all of the doctors are very knowledgeable and work with you to provide the best care for your pets. If necessary they will make a referral to a specialist for additional care. The fact that they have 24 hour service has been a wonderful benefit for me several times. VCA is also where I board my animals if I need to go out of town and they take extremely good care of them. I have referred friends and other family members to VCA and they are also very happy with the services provided. I do not anticipate ever taking one of my pets to a different facility. 😺 🐕 🐦 🐍. We all love VCA!

We took our cat Gray and asked if he had rabies or the plague. After $750.00 they didn't know and wanted more test at a few hundred each. I don't think they are license veterinarian or any clue about animals. My cat is not doing well and it frustrating that I could have done the diagnosis at a my cost.

Dr. Parker, Maddie, and the other young lady (I regret that I didn't get her name) that assisted me at 2 am are good people. They are going to do what they can to provide the care your pet needs, while providing you with encouragement along the way.
I ultimately had to put my beloved little dog to sleep, as her age was too great to justify putting her through costly treatments that may had only provided temporary relief. The day after she was put to rest, I found a lovely sympathy card in my mailbox, which included an imprint of my dog's paw! A touching gesture from a caring crew.
I would highly recommend VCA hospital on Montgomery.

I took my ferret in months ago and had close to 500 dollars€ worth of tests done and they could not determine what was making him ill. I left with antibiotics and pain medicine, he improved over the next few weeks but was not 100%. The vet had recommended x-rays and ultrasounds as our next steps and possibly surgery. This past week he started showing some of the same symptoms and they had become more severe. My ferret is already older and was obviously in pain and I knew what the next steps were. I made the hard decision to euthanize him and not have him suffer through more tests and possible surgeries. I took him in and after 10 minutes a tech came back and stated that his €problem€ was very common among ferrets and was controllable. I pointed out his previous negative test results (he had already been tested for this) and ongoing issues. The attitude I received was shocking, the tech kept focusing on this one test and ignoring his other symptoms. When I said, I had made my decision she acted as if I was putting my animal down needlessly. The sad truth is she did not care about my animal and VCA was just looking to get more money from me by trying to give me false hope and putting a very sick animal through unnecessary tests.

I drove in from Texas for Christmas and my poor dog was so stressed about being in a new environment (with a possibly possessed cat) that he made himself very sick. After he started behaving erratically and vomiting everywhere, I found VCA on google. Gave them a call and they were happy to listen to what my dog was doing and then give me a recommendation that I bring him in.
Brought him in at around 11:30 at night on Christmas Eve. The staff could not have been nicer or more sympathetic towards my poor dog! Even after he vomited multiple times on their floor, they continually assured me it was no big deal and happens all the time.
The vet was great, as were the techs. They gave my poor pup fluids and meds and sent us home with some medication and some very well written and detailed care instructions. My bill was very reasonable as well. I had come in expecting to spend much more than they charged me.
It's very nerve racking being in a different place with a very sick dog late at night, but VCA made the situation about as stress free as possible for both me and my dog. I would highly recommend them!

I was blown away by my experience. My pup's care was prompt and professional, the staff was incredibly friendly and sincere, and the bill was more than fair. ive been to a few emergency veterinarians around the country, and this was by far the best. I hope your pet never needs emergency care, but if they do, I hope you are inThis area for it. A+++

If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. Dr. Zimmer & her team did such an amazing job on my 2 girls who got into a horrible fight. BMy whole experience was wonderful. From how I was greeted at the from desk, to the techs, and finally the Dr.s. I'm not sure my dog would still have an ear if I hadn't brought her there. Thank you for everything you did! They are doing great.

My elderly 80 yr old mom took her dog who was foaming at the mouth, couldn't walk and was dying and they took multiple tests on her Maltese and charged her $2,000 as her dog was literally dying while my mother lives on social security! My brother who has ms and a brain injury was with her and I feel these people took EXTREME advantage of them. They are pirahannas! They simply should have put my mother's dog down in a kind and humane manner without making him suffer or my mother and giving her hope! Now my mother also has to pay $60 a month out of her social security which is hurting her immensely! I am going to file a complaint with better business bureau.

My young dog is dead at their hands. I came in and said she was weak and was afraid she wouldn't make it. I said she had been sick for 3 days. The female doctor wouldn't let me in the back room with her and when she came out she said she would be okay and had approximately 10 estimates of care (so all she did was work on how much money they could make). When I said I would take the antibiotics at home she went back to give my dog yet another test and she was now in a coma!!!!! Naturally all these stupid vets say is to euthanize and then still charge me over $300.00. I am devastated as this pup was only 16 months old and her brother and mom and dad are with me. She should have lived they did not listen to me when I came in and said please help her she looked like she was dying at home. I said she had been throwing up for 3 days and when the dumb doctor in the end after it was too late, asked when the last time she ate! Her blood sugar was too low now, what did they not get when I said she had puked for 3 days? I will NEVER take any animal here they are incompetent! I will be grieving for a long time. If you love your pet stay he hell away from here!
