Burlingame Veterinary Clinic
Portland, Oregon
General Info
Burlingame Veterinary Clinic in Portland provides assistance to pet families throughout Oregon through its care structure which focuses on emotional recovery and physical pacing while offering exam flexibility. The initiation of intake processes occurs before any paperwork begins. Staff members watch the animal's entry to see if it shows hesitation or circles around while also noting any vocalizations or weight anchoring at the door. The clinic observes these reactions to determine its pacing slow approach quiet staging or quick triage depending on stress level. Balance assessments combine with checks for ear tension along with evaluations of skin warmth and hydration while experts also examine fur texture, oral response, breath patterns and handling resistance. All diagnostic processes depend on owner feedback which shapes medical discussions through observations of sleeping positions, seasonal behavior changes, appetite shifts, and recent avoidance patterns. Burlingame Veterinary Clinic delivers an extensive array of services including wellness checks urgent care geriatric mapping weight stabilization plans and pain indexing. Services can be split into multiple visits for pets that perform better during shorter activity periods. A full-day staggered management approach with interspersed break periods may prove advantageous for some individuals. Families can use this model to prevent retraumatization in animals that are noise-sensitive post-surgical or have previous fears. Body-language reference materials and emotional response scales become essential tools for post-visit planning to monitor at-home progress. Adjustments in language timing and daily routines around post-care decompression are recommended for owners. The scheduling of follow-up actions depends on behavioral readiness instead of fixed chronological schedules. Burlingame Veterinary Clinic delivers a veterinary rhythm to pet families across Portland and nearby Oregon communities that supports both physical healing and emotional self-regulation while maintaining clinical precision.

Dr Z was a thoughtful and compassionate vet who took the time to really listen to all the symptoms and tried to exhaust all options to help my pet. I have dealt with upwards of 10-15 vets in various places and he would be my first choice on whom to trust my pet with. His clinic's staff are friendly and welcoming, while maintaining what I believe to be the most affordable care in the area.

It's unfortunate I even have to write this review to a place we have been taking our dog for 14 years. However, the new vet that took over for Dr. Kellogg did not treat our dog recently with full disclosure financially for the same procedure we have had done at this clinic several times. They don't care to make it right either. A procedure that we used to have done literally went from less than $500 to $1600 when we went to pick her up. Know before you go... terrible customer service when I tried to discuss this situation with the office manager. They don't care, it's about the money to them.

We are so happy with Dr. Ziegenbalg and his staff. We've been coming to Burlingame Vet for eight years and really feel like Dr. Z has upped the level of service considerably. The staff (Brenda, Honey, Rosie and Kristin) have showed such warmth and compassion towards our dog and our family. They go the extra mile and routinely follow-up with us after appointments to make sure our bulldog is feeling better and doing well. I will continue to trust my dog's health to the fine folks at Burlingame Vet.

We have brought our animals in over the years, while the doctors were proficient I would not say that we ever felt very welcome. Recently we were quoted an astronomical amount for a procedure that we would need to have done daily for as long as a few months. We had to seek help from another veterinarian who said even after calculating in all the costs he could think of, he could not justify what they were trying to charge us. Burlingame did try to knock $300 off the daily bill, after we told them we had to seek help elsewhere, but the new office originally quoted us a reasonable price that is still less expensive, as well as we felt instantly welcome there, and they have done a great job with our animal. I realize that this is a job and people need to make a living, but when other professionals in the same field are baffled by your charges it tells me you are pulling one over on your customers.

Let me start by saying I gave Burlingame Vet Clinic 5 stars only because 100 stars wasn't an option.My wife and I adopted a rescue dog about a month ago and chose Burlingame Vet Clinic to care for her based on the many many great reviews. Our pooch came to us very underweight, with stomach problems, and seemed to just shut down some days because she wasn't feeling well.Drs. Ziegenbalg and Hunt were outstanding. They caught and diagnosed at least 4 different issues our poor girl was having. After following their treatment plan, she is like a new dog! That alone would earn our loyalty, but the truly remarkable part was the deep concern, consideration, and availability shown by everyone at the clinic. Dr. Z responded to emails at off hours when we had questions, called us to follow up, and showed real caring and commitment to helping us bring our girl to good health.The sort of service and expertise offered at Burlingame Vet Clinic is a rare treasure these days. We are so thankful to have found them.

Bring plenty of cash, if you are planning to make a habit of going here. The prior Vet, Dr. Kellogg- was fair, conscientious, and scrupulous. He was sensitive and caring, a wonderful vet, and his staff reflected those same values. Our pet was always treated well and we enjoyed the thorough explanations. The new successors to his practice have raised fees dramatically, practice a vanilla flavor of vetinerary medicine, and established an interesting array of services to keep your wallet well challenged. Be sure to compare other practices, if you are newly considering this version of veterinary care. Burlingame has lost its prior soul.

One of my dogs was having some severe gastrointestinal problems. Dr. Ziegenbalg eased my mind by ruling out a number of possibly serious causes. He was then able to pinpoint the cause of her tummy troubles and prescribe a treatment program that had her back to her happy healthy self in no time. Dr. Ziegenbalg even called me a few days into the treatment to see how she was responding. I am very fortunate to have Burlingame Veterinary Clinic right in my neighborhood, But I would drive across town if I had to; I know my dogs are in very good hands with Dr. Ziegenbalg.

Dr Z. and his staff saved my dog's life this month. Popey had ingested several plastic squeakers from stuffy toys, and the foreign objects had made their way clear into his intestines and colon. He needed emergency surgery right away. Dr Z. and his wife, Brandy, went above and beyond the call of duty, coming in late to perform the operation and aftercare. Pope is now well on the road to recovery, and I credit that to this clinic's expertise and competence, and genuine compassion for animals. <3

We've been going to Burlingame Vet Clinic ever since it opened years ago, and the doctors there have seen to the health of numerous cats over the years (some rescue kitties) and our precious goofy golden retriever. We've always received the best care there from Dr. Kellogg (now retired) and his colleagues, most recently Dr. Hart and Dr. Z. The medical assistants are great and everyone on staff loves animals. We had to put one of our cats to sleep which is always a painful experience, but Dr. Kellogg allowed our family to take all the time we needed with our little friend in the exam room and we were able to sing her to sleep and sit with her for a while afterwards until we felt ready to leave. Really, I can't think of a better place for pets from babyhood to old age. We'll never go anywhere else.

The doctors and staff at Burlingame Vet are AMAZING. We've been seen by them since 2013 and have 3 pups with multiple chronic health issues under their care. The veterinarians are friendly and thorough. They take their time during appointments and follow up after with a phone call if we change a medication or a dose. Getting an appointment is easy and they understand the cost of caring for pets so always offer options that are budget friendly while also explaining what they think needs to be done and when. I never feel pressured and I always feel confident they have a plan to provide my pets with excellent care. I'm excited to keep taking our fur kids to BVC and working with the new veterinarians that have recently come on board!

Cannot say enough good things about Burlingame Vet ClinicI adopted a Bichon who had had a litter when she was just an adolescent. I wanted that phase of her life over and finished. I called around for spaying and found a fair price and a receptive vet clinic at Burlingame. They were warm & reassuring. We drove over there from East Portland on an icy morning and were welcomed warmly. When I picked GiGi up that evening they gave me a guide of what to expect...excellent information. Months later when I lost the AVID microchip number for GiGi, they provided it with no hassle. Burlingame is not in my neighborhood but it is certainly worth the trip across town.Good vets with fair pricing are hard to find!

Hands down, the best vet we have ever had. When our sweet old cat was struggling with his health, Dr. Kellogg and his wife took him home with them at the end of the work day to keep an eye on him.

It's sad to have to write this review, because I've been to this clinic previously, and really liked them. So when it was time to take my dog back for a routine exam, I went back.Dr. Kellogg wasn't in that day, so my dog was seen by another veterinarian. The vet gave her a good exam, checked her teeth, etc. and we agreed to book a teeth cleaning. 36 hours later, my dog came down with a nasty case of kennel cough. I live alone and we've not had contact with any other dogs for the past week and a half. I brought her in first thing yesterday, was prescribed antibiotics/anti-tussant, and paid $160 for it. Today, my dog is worse and it's hard to watch, particularly since she's never been sick before. I called the clinic to explain the situation, and asked if they would be willing to give me some sort of credit on the teeth cleaning, I was told that that wasn't a fair request, that they aren't responsible for my dog getting sick, but was offered additional cough meds at no cost.That's unfortunate, as I think they had an opportunity to recover my business if they'd been willing to work with me. While I do like Dr. Kellogg, and think he's a good vet, I'll be taking my dog's care elsewhere as a result.

We have been clients of this small clinic for many years and have always been happy with the care our dog and cats have received. We have been down the road of routine care and some pretty serious medical issues, and the thing that stands out most is that they truly care about doing the right thing for my pets without breaking the bank. When our dog needed an infected tooth pulled under anesthesia, I asked some fellow dog owners if they had any experience with this. They talked about what they paid for it, and I was pleased to learn that Dr. Kellogg's prices were MORE than fair. And, he always has the best interest of the animals he takes care of in mind. There is no clinic in town that cares as much as the people here do.

I really like Dr Byers - she cares and she is knowledgable, but I just can't afford to visit this vet. I was advised to do a urinalysis - which I wanted to do and was asked to collect the urine at home. Great, I thought, we can avoid another expensive vet visit $48 - ouch. I was charged $7.95 just for the little kit (a container, dropper and charcoal). REALLY? When I came back to drop off the urine - the receptionist asked me for $88 for the urinalysis. Are you kidding? It's hard to say anything to the receptionist - it's not her fault. My suggestion - if you are going to charge these kinds of prices - let the customer know - have a price sheet. When I made the appointment I made sure to tell the receptionist that cost of treatment was an issue. Maybe some pet owners do not bat an eyelid, but I want Burlingame to know that they are losing a customer. I just can't rationalize your prices. If money is no object - this is a good vet for you.

This neighborhood vet clinic is truly a gem. From the moment I walk in the door, I am treated as a valued client and as a friend. Staff are kind and remember my pets by name. ""Dr. John"" (Kellogg) and Dr. Byers have seen our circus of pets, and are both personable and extremely thorough. They remember me, my animals and always make us feel welcome, no matter how busy they are. Dr. Kellogg has done surgery for our dog in the past, and he cared for her as if she were his own dog, the clinic mascot named Curly. These folks really care about animals as family members, and even though we live closer to several other clinics, we would not dream of moving our pet's care. Thanks to the Burlingame docs and staff for caring for our ""kids"" in a professional, comfortable and warm manner. I would trust them to no others.

I ended up here originally because it's a stone's throw from my house. How lucky was I to discover Dr. Kellogg and Karen (his wife, who works in the front). They are smart, compassionate people who will go the extra mile to make sure you and your animal companions are comfortable and well-informed. He is also a straight shooter - he won't spend your money for fun and he won't sugar coat. Though not as cheap as, say, Banfield, he is well-priced for the market and I always feel like my pets are getting attentive, intelligent care.

When I brought my puppy in to get neutered, I barraged the girls at the front desk with a million questions. What would the procedure entail? How long until he's fully recovered? Are his toenails too long? It was obvious that I was a first time ""dog mom"". The front desk staff answered all of my questions (both on-phone and in-person) with knowledgeable and concise answers. They genuinely seemed to care about his quality of care and my comfort. Also, they accommodated my erratic school/work schedule, and allowed me to have peace of mind while I was apart from him all day (and knowing that he had been under the knife). When I picked up my dog, he was in the state they told me he'd be in: Groggy, gooey eyed, and tired. However, before I could take him out the door, my pup made sure to say goodbye to the girls via LOTS of doggy kisses (obviously, this shows their compassion towards him in my absence). I've just recently looked at my receipt, and noticed that under description and price, something listed is: ""Tender Love and Care: $0"". You can say that again!!!

I've taken my cats in to see both Dr. Byers and Dr. Kellogg and found them to be very helpful, giving me great advice and options for care. Staff is friendly, they try to accommodate their clients, and seem to really like my ""guys"". Overall a good experience in veterinary care.

Dr. Kellogg's office is clean and friendly. They were sensitive to my apprehension of leaving my dog for a procedure. Dr. Kellogg and staff listened to my concerns and Dr. Kellogg himself answered questions, even when we called to discuss recent bloodwork. Costs seem comparable to other vets we have been to (we have lived many places). The only issue I have (if you can call it that) is the parking, but it would never stop me from going.

Dr. John and his staff treat us like family, never make us feel rushed, always answer our questions thoroughly, and treat our dog with incredible dignity and compassion. Puddles still hates going, I mean, she's a dog, he's a vet, c'mon - but we have the peace of mind that she's getting excellent medical care, and we know we can count on getting excellent service and value for our dollar . . . not to mention, we get to see Curly the wonder-pup, Puddles' boyfriend;o) Tamee, Jason & Puddles

My best vet experience EVER has been at Burlingame Vet Clinic with Doctor Kellogg - not only is he (and his whole staff) so very caring and attentive to our little beagle, but I also ADORE Doctor Kellogg's kind attitude towards my young children (7 and 4) who always have questions and stories to share with him. He's never too busy to listen to them and never talks down to them, or me for that matter!

I've brought in a number of pets (including rescued strays) to this clinic since it opened, and have been impressed with the professional and compassionate treatment received by all. Dr. Kellogg seems young, but is a gifted healer with a great heart as well as ""horse sense."" I have been amazed more than once at the quick turnaround from examination to diagnosis, options and costs of treatment. I have learned a lot of insider tips about pet care from everyone at this clinic. I feel very lucky the Burlingame Pet Clinic is in my neighborhood!

General Info
Burlingame Veterinary Clinic in Portland provides assistance to pet families throughout Oregon through its care structure which focuses on emotional recovery and physical pacing while offering exam flexibility. The initiation of intake processes occurs before any paperwork begins. Staff members watch the animal's entry to see if it shows hesitation or circles around while also noting any vocalizations or weight anchoring at the door. The clinic observes these reactions to determine its pacing slow approach quiet staging or quick triage depending on stress level. Balance assessments combine with checks for ear tension along with evaluations of skin warmth and hydration while experts also examine fur texture, oral response, breath patterns and handling resistance. All diagnostic processes depend on owner feedback which shapes medical discussions through observations of sleeping positions, seasonal behavior changes, appetite shifts, and recent avoidance patterns. Burlingame Veterinary Clinic delivers an extensive array of services including wellness checks urgent care geriatric mapping weight stabilization plans and pain indexing. Services can be split into multiple visits for pets that perform better during shorter activity periods. A full-day staggered management approach with interspersed break periods may prove advantageous for some individuals. Families can use this model to prevent retraumatization in animals that are noise-sensitive post-surgical or have previous fears. Body-language reference materials and emotional response scales become essential tools for post-visit planning to monitor at-home progress. Adjustments in language timing and daily routines around post-care decompression are recommended for owners. The scheduling of follow-up actions depends on behavioral readiness instead of fixed chronological schedules. Burlingame Veterinary Clinic delivers a veterinary rhythm to pet families across Portland and nearby Oregon communities that supports both physical healing and emotional self-regulation while maintaining clinical precision.

Dr Z was a thoughtful and compassionate vet who took the time to really listen to all the symptoms and tried to exhaust all options to help my pet. I have dealt with upwards of 10-15 vets in various places and he would be my first choice on whom to trust my pet with. His clinic's staff are friendly and welcoming, while maintaining what I believe to be the most affordable care in the area.

It's unfortunate I even have to write this review to a place we have been taking our dog for 14 years. However, the new vet that took over for Dr. Kellogg did not treat our dog recently with full disclosure financially for the same procedure we have had done at this clinic several times. They don't care to make it right either. A procedure that we used to have done literally went from less than $500 to $1600 when we went to pick her up. Know before you go... terrible customer service when I tried to discuss this situation with the office manager. They don't care, it's about the money to them.

We are so happy with Dr. Ziegenbalg and his staff. We've been coming to Burlingame Vet for eight years and really feel like Dr. Z has upped the level of service considerably. The staff (Brenda, Honey, Rosie and Kristin) have showed such warmth and compassion towards our dog and our family. They go the extra mile and routinely follow-up with us after appointments to make sure our bulldog is feeling better and doing well. I will continue to trust my dog's health to the fine folks at Burlingame Vet.

We have brought our animals in over the years, while the doctors were proficient I would not say that we ever felt very welcome. Recently we were quoted an astronomical amount for a procedure that we would need to have done daily for as long as a few months. We had to seek help from another veterinarian who said even after calculating in all the costs he could think of, he could not justify what they were trying to charge us. Burlingame did try to knock $300 off the daily bill, after we told them we had to seek help elsewhere, but the new office originally quoted us a reasonable price that is still less expensive, as well as we felt instantly welcome there, and they have done a great job with our animal. I realize that this is a job and people need to make a living, but when other professionals in the same field are baffled by your charges it tells me you are pulling one over on your customers.

Let me start by saying I gave Burlingame Vet Clinic 5 stars only because 100 stars wasn't an option.My wife and I adopted a rescue dog about a month ago and chose Burlingame Vet Clinic to care for her based on the many many great reviews. Our pooch came to us very underweight, with stomach problems, and seemed to just shut down some days because she wasn't feeling well.Drs. Ziegenbalg and Hunt were outstanding. They caught and diagnosed at least 4 different issues our poor girl was having. After following their treatment plan, she is like a new dog! That alone would earn our loyalty, but the truly remarkable part was the deep concern, consideration, and availability shown by everyone at the clinic. Dr. Z responded to emails at off hours when we had questions, called us to follow up, and showed real caring and commitment to helping us bring our girl to good health.The sort of service and expertise offered at Burlingame Vet Clinic is a rare treasure these days. We are so thankful to have found them.

Bring plenty of cash, if you are planning to make a habit of going here. The prior Vet, Dr. Kellogg- was fair, conscientious, and scrupulous. He was sensitive and caring, a wonderful vet, and his staff reflected those same values. Our pet was always treated well and we enjoyed the thorough explanations. The new successors to his practice have raised fees dramatically, practice a vanilla flavor of vetinerary medicine, and established an interesting array of services to keep your wallet well challenged. Be sure to compare other practices, if you are newly considering this version of veterinary care. Burlingame has lost its prior soul.

I can recommend Burlingame Veterinary Clinic without reservation. Dr. Ziegenbalg and the entire staff are skilled, professional, and caring. Everyone at the clinic is welcoming and they clearly love animals. My dogs actually love dropping in to the clinic just to visit !!!
One of my dogs was having some severe gastrointestinal problems. Dr. Ziegenbalg eased my mind by ruling out a number of possibly serious causes. He was then able to pinpoint the cause of her tummy troubles and prescribe a treatment program that had her back to her happy healthy self in no time. Dr. Ziegenbalg even called me a few days into the treatment to see how she was responding. I am very fortunate to have Burlingame Veterinary Clinic right in my neighborhood, But I would drive across town if I had to; I know my dogs are in very good hands with Dr. Ziegenbalg.

Dr Z. and his staff saved my dog's life this month. Popey had ingested several plastic squeakers from stuffy toys, and the foreign objects had made their way clear into his intestines and colon. He needed emergency surgery right away. Dr Z. and his wife, Brandy, went above and beyond the call of duty, coming in late to perform the operation and aftercare. Pope is now well on the road to recovery, and I credit that to this clinic's expertise and competence, and genuine compassion for animals. <3

We've been going to Burlingame Vet Clinic ever since it opened years ago, and the doctors there have seen to the health of numerous cats over the years (some rescue kitties) and our precious goofy golden retriever. We've always received the best care there from Dr. Kellogg (now retired) and his colleagues, most recently Dr. Hart and Dr. Z. The medical assistants are great and everyone on staff loves animals. We had to put one of our cats to sleep which is always a painful experience, but Dr. Kellogg allowed our family to take all the time we needed with our little friend in the exam room and we were able to sing her to sleep and sit with her for a while afterwards until we felt ready to leave. Really, I can't think of a better place for pets from babyhood to old age. We'll never go anywhere else.

The doctors and staff at Burlingame Vet are AMAZING. We've been seen by them since 2013 and have 3 pups with multiple chronic health issues under their care. The veterinarians are friendly and thorough. They take their time during appointments and follow up after with a phone call if we change a medication or a dose. Getting an appointment is easy and they understand the cost of caring for pets so always offer options that are budget friendly while also explaining what they think needs to be done and when. I never feel pressured and I always feel confident they have a plan to provide my pets with excellent care. I'm excited to keep taking our fur kids to BVC and working with the new veterinarians that have recently come on board!

Cannot say enough good things about Burlingame Vet ClinicI adopted a Bichon who had had a litter when she was just an adolescent. I wanted that phase of her life over and finished. I called around for spaying and found a fair price and a receptive vet clinic at Burlingame. They were warm & reassuring. We drove over there from East Portland on an icy morning and were welcomed warmly. When I picked GiGi up that evening they gave me a guide of what to expect...excellent information. Months later when I lost the AVID microchip number for GiGi, they provided it with no hassle. Burlingame is not in my neighborhood but it is certainly worth the trip across town.Good vets with fair pricing are hard to find!

Hands down, the best vet we have ever had. When our sweet old cat was struggling with his health, Dr. Kellogg and his wife took him home with them at the end of the work day to keep an eye on him. They care for every animal like their own, and they took care of our hearts through some big ups and downs with our animals. We truly consider the Kelloggs a part of our family.

It's sad to have to write this review, because I've been to this clinic previously, and really liked them. So when it was time to take my dog back for a routine exam, I went back.Dr. Kellogg wasn't in that day, so my dog was seen by another veterinarian. The vet gave her a good exam, checked her teeth, etc. and we agreed to book a teeth cleaning. 36 hours later, my dog came down with a nasty case of kennel cough. I live alone and we've not had contact with any other dogs for the past week and a half. I brought her in first thing yesterday, was prescribed antibiotics/anti-tussant, and paid $160 for it. Today, my dog is worse and it's hard to watch, particularly since she's never been sick before. I called the clinic to explain the situation, and asked if they would be willing to give me some sort of credit on the teeth cleaning, I was told that that wasn't a fair request, that they aren't responsible for my dog getting sick, but was offered additional cough meds at no cost.That's unfortunate, as I think they had an opportunity to recover my business if they'd been willing to work with me. While I do like Dr. Kellogg, and think he's a good vet, I'll be taking my dog's care elsewhere as a result.

I brought my dog Barley here for the first time to see Dr Byers for his annual checkup. He usually gets nervous, but Dr. Byers was wonderful and got him to relax. I think he actually enjoyed his visit to the vet this time around! She talked with me about everything that we would do that day, and offered me options based on Barley's lifestyle to avoid unnecessary treatment. I left from the office with a wagging tail beside me and a very reasonable bill for services. I'll be a regular client from now on!

We have been clients of this small clinic for many years and have always been happy with the care our dog and cats have received. We have been down the road of routine care and some pretty serious medical issues, and the thing that stands out most is that they truly care about doing the right thing for my pets without breaking the bank. When our dog needed an infected tooth pulled under anesthesia, I asked some fellow dog owners if they had any experience with this. They talked about what they paid for it, and I was pleased to learn that Dr. Kellogg's prices were MORE than fair. And, he always has the best interest of the animals he takes care of in mind. There is no clinic in town that cares as much as the people here do.

I really like Dr Byers - she cares and she is knowledgable, but I just can't afford to visit this vet. I was advised to do a urinalysis - which I wanted to do and was asked to collect the urine at home. Great, I thought, we can avoid another expensive vet visit $48 - ouch. I was charged $7.95 just for the little kit (a container, dropper and charcoal). REALLY? When I came back to drop off the urine - the receptionist asked me for $88 for the urinalysis. Are you kidding? It's hard to say anything to the receptionist - it's not her fault. My suggestion - if you are going to charge these kinds of prices - let the customer know - have a price sheet. When I made the appointment I made sure to tell the receptionist that cost of treatment was an issue. Maybe some pet owners do not bat an eyelid, but I want Burlingame to know that they are losing a customer. I just can't rationalize your prices. If money is no object - this is a good vet for you.

I'm retired, and I've got a lot of animals. I've also got a lot of opinions about how they should be cared for--what I don't have is a lot of money. Dr. Kellogg, his wife Karen, and Dr. Byers put up with my eccentricities and provide the best care for my pack of critters. We have good conversations, When I had a big bill for work done, we bartered the balance away in exchange for my power-washing graffitti off his back wall. I have a farm background, and Dr. Kellogg indulges my inclination to 'do-it-myself"", yet still provides good technical support. I consider them my friends, as well as my Docs.

This neighborhood vet clinic is truly a gem. From the moment I walk in the door, I am treated as a valued client and as a friend. Staff are kind and remember my pets by name. ""Dr. John"" (Kellogg) and Dr. Byers have seen our circus of pets, and are both personable and extremely thorough. They remember me, my animals and always make us feel welcome, no matter how busy they are. Dr. Kellogg has done surgery for our dog in the past, and he cared for her as if she were his own dog, the clinic mascot named Curly. These folks really care about animals as family members, and even though we live closer to several other clinics, we would not dream of moving our pet's care. Thanks to the Burlingame docs and staff for caring for our ""kids"" in a professional, comfortable and warm manner. I would trust them to no others.

How nice it was today to sit in the lobby getting yelled at by doctor Kellogg for questioning why he was charging me double what the original quote was! They have treated me badly every time I've been in and charged outrageous prices. On top of the audacity of this man, I arrive home to see that my pets nails are ALL cut too short and ALL BLEEDING!

What? Seriously folks, I don't know what the person who wrote the bad review was thinking when he/she wrote it, but Dr. Byers at Burlingame is wonderful!!! She is kind, compassionate, logical, extremely gentle, and one of the best vets I've ever had the pleasure to visit. Her true passion for the health and happiness of pets is *unparalleled* -- I have an older dog, and Dr. B's ability to treat this little guy with all of the love and care in the world is amazing. I don't write a lot of reviews for CitySearch, but when I saw the bad review, I just had to speak up! Everyone at Burlingame is great -- Dr. Kellogg is who we went to originally (we love him, too!), but we trust everyone there. Need a great vet clinic, where you and your pet will be treated with respect, you'll be given all of the options up front, and you'll be told the truth, every single time? Please visit wonderful Dr. Byers at Burlingame!

We have three dogs and three cats and we would never take them anywhere else! We have seen both Dr. Kellogg and Dr. Byers and would highly recommend either. The office and medical staff are also excellent. Everyone is polite, helpful and they really care about your pet. They will always call the day after a procedure to make sure your pet is doing well. I highly, HIGHLY recommend them!

I ended up here originally because it's a stone's throw from my house. How lucky was I to discover Dr. Kellogg and Karen (his wife, who works in the front). They are smart, compassionate people who will go the extra mile to make sure you and your animal companions are comfortable and well-informed. He is also a straight shooter - he won't spend your money for fun and he won't sugar coat. Though not as cheap as, say, Banfield, he is well-priced for the market and I always feel like my pets are getting attentive, intelligent care.

When I brought my puppy in to get neutered, I barraged the girls at the front desk with a million questions. What would the procedure entail? How long until he's fully recovered? Are his toenails too long? It was obvious that I was a first time ""dog mom"". The front desk staff answered all of my questions (both on-phone and in-person) with knowledgeable and concise answers. They genuinely seemed to care about his quality of care and my comfort. Also, they accommodated my erratic school/work schedule, and allowed me to have peace of mind while I was apart from him all day (and knowing that he had been under the knife). When I picked up my dog, he was in the state they told me he'd be in: Groggy, gooey eyed, and tired. However, before I could take him out the door, my pup made sure to say goodbye to the girls via LOTS of doggy kisses (obviously, this shows their compassion towards him in my absence). I've just recently looked at my receipt, and noticed that under description and price, something listed is: ""Tender Love and Care: $0"". You can say that again!!!

I don't know why a couple people seem to think Dr. Kellogg is rude. I can assure you he is not, he, and his staff are great, knowledgeable, and friendly. I've been taking my two dogs to him for almost 10 years now, and they're wonderful. Both Byers and Kellogg take the time to listen to your worries, explain and evaluate the situation, and they're both very understanding. They're some of the greatest vets in town who have your pets(family) best interest at heart.

Dr. Kellogg's office is clean and friendly. They were sensitive to my apprehension of leaving my dog for a procedure. Dr. Kellogg and staff listened to my concerns and Dr. Kellogg himself answered questions, even when we called to discuss recent bloodwork. Costs seem comparable to other vets we have been to (we have lived many places). The only issue I have (if you can call it that) is the parking, but it would never stop me from going.

Dr. John and his staff treat us like family, never make us feel rushed, always answer our questions thoroughly, and treat our dog with incredible dignity and compassion. Puddles still hates going, I mean, she's a dog, he's a vet, c'mon - but we have the peace of mind that she's getting excellent medical care, and we know we can count on getting excellent service and value for our dollar . . . not to mention, we get to see Curly the wonder-pup, Puddles' boyfriend;o) Tamee, Jason & Puddles

My best vet experience EVER has been at Burlingame Vet Clinic with Doctor Kellogg - not only is he (and his whole staff) so very caring and attentive to our little beagle, but I also ADORE Doctor Kellogg's kind attitude towards my young children (7 and 4) who always have questions and stories to share with him. He's never too busy to listen to them and never talks down to them, or me for that matter!

I've brought in a number of pets (including rescued strays) to this clinic since it opened, and have been impressed with the professional and compassionate treatment received by all. Dr. Kellogg seems young, but is a gifted healer with a great heart as well as ""horse sense."" I have been amazed more than once at the quick turnaround from examination to diagnosis, options and costs of treatment. I have learned a lot of insider tips about pet care from everyone at this clinic. I feel very lucky the Burlingame Pet Clinic is in my neighborhood!
