The staff was amazing! I highly recommend this pet hospital. The veterarian clinic we normally use abruptly closed down with no notice, but, they did recommend Boulevard Pet Hospital. The staff recognized that my dog needed to be seen right away for sn existing condition and had us come in the following day. The care my dog received was excellent! read more

I loved the vet care itself but the front staff could use some training.. I received a coupon in the mail for "Your First Exam Free". The coupon did not say anything about me needing to purchase an item etc. I initially contacted the office to confirm & front staff confirmed it was free "unless I purchased something". Sounded great to me & I booked the appointment! Vet care was great but when I checked out they were going to charge me $80. I mentioned the coupon & they told me it was in fine print & no one from their office would have told me about it being free. I ended up paying for flea medicine to lower the price down. All in all the vet care was great but young staff needed training. Additionally, they claimed to not be able opt me out of direct mail marketing. I finally asked them to delete me from their system to stop postal mail. read more

Dr. Yuchen Feng was incredibly patient and compassionate with my dog, Storm. She has very high anxiety when visiting the vet, but Dr. Feng and her assistant were so gentle, calm, and understanding that they made her feel much more comfortable throughout the visit. Their kindness, patience, and genuine care meant so much to both Storm and me. I truly appreciate the time and attention they gave her, and I'm so grateful to have found a vet team that treats my dog with such compassion. Highly recommend! read more

Boulevard Pet Hospital -- First and foremost, thank you for your honesty and compassion in caring for our 17-year-old. Our hearts are broken, but we are comforted knowing she is no longer in pain. Thank you for your patience, kindness, and gentle words throughout such a difficult process. I wish I could remember the veterinarian's name, but everything was a blur in that moment. I truly hope the staff knows who I'm referring to--she was incredibly sweet and compassionate. I will be recommending Boulevard Pet Hospital to everyone moving forward. Sweet Lola, you will forever live in our hearts! read more

First, I want to say Dr. Olson is super awesome! I found a sick stray kitten. Not only she was able to get me in with a same day short notice , she is also so nice to me and the kitten. I can not thank her enough for that. Moreover, I've been taking my pets and stray cats to this Vet clinic for years. They are nice enough to take care of the stray cats regard less how combative they are. Really recommend this place. read more

We're absolutely delighted with the newest vet, Dr. Elizabeth Olsen. She is a great listener and a thoughtful responder. She is smart, kind and pragmatic. She is an asset and a credit to the field of veterinary medicine. read more

Very caring and accommodating and great follow up on checking up on my dog. Really appreciate their sincerity

I paid almost $400 2 weeks ago for my dog to be seen, and now he's having the same symptoms again. I had to literally go there because the vet Elizabeth Olsen DVM would not return my call, when we finally met, her demeanor was extremely dismissive, cold and only focused on my paying another $100 just to have him checked, with no consideration for the recent visit, she literally told me if I wasn't ok with that I should basically take my business elsewhere. The irony of it all is a close friend actually told me NOT TO GO HERE because of an experience they had previously, I absolutely should've listened. This experience felt dismissive and EXTREMELY MONEY-FOCUSED rather than caring or supportive, with ABSOLUTELY NO CONSIDERATION for my pets well being. I won't be returning. read more

Very nice and helpful staff. I was able to schedule an appt. The next day. They also have off street parking. Was an awesome experience for me and my frenchie. I found my new vet for my fur baby. I recommend them try them out. 2 s up. read more

I have been coming to this clinic for almost a year now, and my first visit was during an emergency when my cat had an abscess. No other clinic was willing to see him and instead directed me to the ER, but this clinic was incredibly accommodating. They made it possible to see him right away, provided excellent treatment, and he recovered within days. Dr. Parvizi is an outstanding and highly experienced veterinarian. Over time, I have brought all five of my fur babies here, and I couldn't be happier with the care they receive. The staff is truly amazing--warm, friendly, and genuinely compassionate toward animals. While their prices are in line with most clinics, the level of expertise, kindness, and dedication they provide sets them apart. I'm a loyal customer for life! read more

They were kind and compassionate as we had to say goodbye to our loved cat Oliver. Never easy to do but they couldn't have been better to us in the process. We have been before but worked with Dr. Olsen this time around and she is a gem. read more

I contemplated on writing a review, I was on Yelp when I found Boulevard Pet Hospital and they had some not so good reviews from the past but I thought I'd just be my own judge. They also were the only place that had availability the same week that I was grateful for. We just got our puppy that is 15 weeks old. We did get from a breeder. I arrived and the two staff that I can't remember their names, one own the hamster that's in front and the other just graduated from Davis. Both were very kind, sweet and welcoming. They did ask if he's been vaccinated I told them yes and I had the records, the stickers on the vaccination form and records and dates from the breeder. They did question on what hospital were the vaccines done. I didn't know, my husband did all of the pick up and exchange. They contacted the breeder and found out that she had done all the vaccines herself. the Dr came in looking not so very happy to see us, her face said it all. The judgement, and I understand there were concerns. A good friend had gotten their pup from the place with the same paperwork and went to their vet but didn't experience this. It was just the few statements that were made, "this seems kind of sketchy" ( vaccination records, they stated there were no dates but there were, they stated the dates and weeks didn't match up to how frequent it should've been given), "are you sure he's from the same batch of puppies? "He seems big for 4 months". She suggested that we give him all the vaccines over again due to not knowing how the breeder stored her vaccines. Again, I understand the concerns but it was the facial expression, along with the tone. I declined and got just the booster, she did add the rabies and dewormer. I let her know we had dewormer at home but she insinuated over the counter isn't as effective. So we got all 3. I did ask a few questions just like any pet owner would that goes for a pet visit? I was given responses that made me feel like "you should know this or "if you look online". Over all, besides the two ladies that met us with kindness (5 stars to them) but I would not come back here. read more

Dr. Olson is absolutely wonderful! She treated Bentley (my cat) with such kindness and patience. Bentley was diagnosed with diabetes. Dr. Olson demonstrated dedication by reviewing his blood work in detail, not only in the office, but called me on her day off to review his results. She continued monitoring Bentley weekly until she was comfortable his condition had stabilized. It's clear Dr. Olson truly cares about her patients and goes above and beyond. I'm so grateful for the excellent care and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and knowledgeable vet! Thank you, Dr. Olson for all that you have done for us! So thankful we found you. AND, a big shout out to Dr. Olson's staff. They are all fantastic, super nice and welcoming. Bentley is now doing well. Thank you again! read more

Highly Recommend Boulevard Pet Hospital When my cat suddenly started throwing up Thursday night and stopped eating Friday morning--very unusual behavior for him--I knew I needed a vet urgently. Being new to the area, I called several clinics, but no one had availability on such short notice. I was prepared to head to an emergency hospital when I decided to try one last option: Boulevard Pet Hospital. At 8:30 AM, they told me they had a cancellation at 9 and could see my cat right away. From the moment I arrived, the front desk staff greeted me with warmth and kindness, which immediately helped ease my stress. The team, including both vet techs who assisted, Shaelyn and Dagmar, was fantastic. My cat can be feisty during vet visits, and because of the urgency of the appointment, I didn't have time to give him gabapentin beforehand. Despite this, they handled him with incredible care and ensured he--and I--were as comfortable as possible. Since my cat has a heart condition, they were also cautious to avoid stressing him too much, which I deeply appreciated. Dr. Parvizi took the time to review my cat's extensive medical history thoroughly, pointing out specific details that showed he truly read everything. During the exam, they found my cat had a fever of 104°F. Dr. Parvizi suggested IV fluids, anti-nausea medication, and lab work. I was ready to approve everything immediately, but he paused to provide clear cost estimates first, ensuring I fully understood the plan before moving forward. This showed not only professionalism but genuine care for me as a pet owner. The lab results revealed later in the day that my cat was fighting an infection, and Dr. Parvizi recommended Clavamox. I mentioned that my cat usually doesn't tolerate it well, and he suggested an alternative--an antibiotic injection. Concerned about stressing my cat with another car ride, I proposed trying the Clavamox first to see how he handled it, with the option to return for the injection if necessary. Dr. Parvizi reassured me that he didn't want me to spend money needlessly but understood my plan, which showed how much he cared for me as a pet owner. When I arrived to pick up the medication, I mentioned that my cat does well with tablets, and they gladly switched it from the usual liquid format to tablets, making things easier for both of us. Thanks to their care, my cat is on the mend. He's still a bit under the weather but steadily improving. While I hated the circumstances that brought me to Boulevard Pet Hospital, I'm incredibly grateful to have found them. From the front desk staff to the vet techs to Dr. Parvizi himself, the team was compassionate, skilled, and attentive. I cannot recommend them enough! read more

This review is for Cathy! I think when we call these places, in regard to our precious fur babies, we just want empathy and honest answers. She gave me both. I called, frantic because my vets answering machine claimed they were closed for the summer!! You can imagine my panic when my dog is scheduled for surgery the following week. She didn't have to, but she went above and beyond to find me answers and get me in touch with my vet. Turns out it was a glitch in the answering system. Nonetheless Cathy, you rock and I thank you for going above and beyond for someone who isn't even a patient with you guys. I know where I'd go if I needed a new veterinarian. read more

Fantastic staff. Always clean and friendly staff who greet our babies with a smile and they make personalized signs for every visit.

The people here are awesome. By that I mean the administrative staff and the vet techs, more than the veterinarians - although they're good too. They have been very responsive and caring when I brought my dog and cat in for urgent care, and shared their expertise for their benefit outside of basic care parameters. read more

Took a stray cat that was injured here and the staff was incredible. They were pretty upfront about cost when I initially called and when I arrived they were all really sweet and gentle and didn't pressure me into spending more money than necessary. Alexis and Dr.Olsen were great. read more

This place is amazing! The staff is so friendly and Dr. Olsen is incredible. My big guy is always a little timid around people, but his little tail was waggin away when these ladies came in. He got a prescription and his nails cut and our guy was prancing when he walked out of there. I love this place and I am excited to come back for another nail clip and refill! read more

I took our cat in for his annual checkup/shots. We have been coming to this office for many years. This was my first visit under new ownership. The cat had a follow up dental cleaning and extraction for a cracked root. Dr Olsen was very good, fully explaining the procedure. All recommended work is written up for client signature/approval. There was a call before tooth was actually extracted to confirm. The extraction went well and vet technician took time to fully explain the likely recovery and directions for follow up care. Dr Olsen called the next day to check on how our cat was feeling. read more

Had a good experience here. I like that you have the option to stay with your pet in the exam room. Staff was all kind and professional and I felt price was fair compared to other vets in the area. read more

Got me in on short notice. Dr. Olsen is awesome. The girls in the front are compassionate and professional. Good experience.

Can here to have my chameleon check since he grew a bump near his eye. The doctor didn't do a tests just said it was a tumor and they can cut it off for around $1000. Went to another office for a second option who has exotic pet experience, and my chameleon reached proper shots and vitamins for only $150. This place isn't for exotic pets. Was too quick to just say needs surgery isn't of checking read more

Their expertise in caring for exotic pets like tortoises, combined with their friendly and compassionate approach to veterinary medicine, make them a top choice for pet owners in need of specialized care. Overall, I would highly recommend this vet to anyone in need of quality exotic veterinary care for their pets. They took great care of my tortious on my visit here for the first time. read more

We have been going to Boulevard Pet Hospital for years, Dr. Schuchman was a true compassionate vet and pet whisperer. We stayed through the transition to Dr. Judge who was also kind and present. Additionally the front staff team is phenomenal. However, the change to being part of a corporation has left us disappointed, worried and searching for a new vet. Yesterday I had specific questions about my cat's care and the front staff team asked the Dr. (Dr. Parvizi) to talk with me about it. He came out and promptly mansplained to me that he didn't look at my cat because I "hadn't requested a consult" and made sure that I knew the problem with the care was my not asking for the right thing. At a prior visit a different "relief" doctor who looked at our cat's eye had made a comment about how Persians (with the flat faces) are money makers for them because they so easily injure their eyes. So, we will not be coming back unless/until they hire doctors that care for animals as real beings and not as money makers. Gross. read more

Avoid at all costs. After explaining to the tech that my young cat had a history of being abused. The cat was taken back to another room for weighing and temperature check. The cat came back wrapped in a towel. No fever at which time he ran into his carrier, panting in distress. A rectal thermometer who does that in 2024! (Wrapped in a towel, you abused him. Then came the vet fine. Cat needs a rabies shot, possible fleas, and his eyes will give him some drops, discussing his red gums and some brushing. Off goes the cat. 40 minutes later, it's a crisis. we need to do lab work for your cat it's not normal. Let's work up the pricing. Meanwhile, the cat is sitting in its carrier somewhere in the back. I go demand my cat 10 minutes later out comes the cat and antibiotics take this here is his flea treatment, and the test costs. I have again to demand what I originally came in for eye drops. Zero zero concern for my pet. You traumatized him!!! read more

Dr Anderson and the staff are so friendly and helpful. Both of my frienchies love to come to the vet and are happy and healthy.

Our pet has been going to this vet for 5 years (2 with the new "vet"). She has a nerve problem in her left back leg and spine which causes her to limp and drag her left rear foot. She also has a skin condition which causes her to itch like crazy and smell horrible. She is also mostly blind with a heart murmur (since birth). We were told to bring our dog in (who is functional, healthy, and happy despite her problems) for a checkup so she could get a refill on her prednisolone (she's been on it for 5 years off and on as needed). Lately her pain has been worse and she's needed half a pill a day (less than the recommended dosage mind you). We just needed a refill on her meds. The doctor said ok, we'll get the prednisolone right away. Then a nurse came in and said, "it's $68 for the exam and refill," Ok I thought - that's not too terribly bad, but all we really needed was a refill for our dogs medication. The next nurse comes in and offers us bloodwork as an option for $440 dollars plus the $68 plus the $38 so over $500 (mind you the average cost for a full panel for a dog is under $200) now - we decline - she's an older dog and if she's not sick we don't want to pay for additional work - she's been the same for about as long as I can remember and is very happy with her current regime. We agree to the new charge of $98 dollars and sign so we can receive the medicine and for the "exam". Next walks in this angry looking woman who offers us a "discounted" blood work for $220 (discounted - the state average is $200 for a full dog blood panel - nice discount)! They were so desperate for money that they discounted the blood work...we still declined and at that point she said, "Well the doctor won't do it." Do what? Take our $98 bucks and give us her meds? The meds I signed for and agreed to? They were extremely rude. We were willing to pay their $68 "exam" fee - but they just kept pushing for more money when we were there for one thing - to make sure our old girl felt ok the next day and could function normally. Now my crippled, blind, elderly pet has to suffer through withdrawal due to this poor veterinary practice and extortion. My dog is going to have a very rough month going cold turkey off a drug that indicates "taper off, do not stop suddenly." You would think an actual vet wouldn't want to mistreat or hurt an animal like that. I don't get the feeling that this vet even likes animals. The doctor didn't even have the nerve to come and explain why she needed blood work - or why he wasn't prescribing the medicine that he said he was "getting ready." I was very upset - we wasted time - our dog injured it's foot dragging it around his office (it's all bloody - we have carpet and grass and she was nervous and tore it up in his office) while waiting to be extorted. It was absolutely the worst vet experience I've ever had. I urge anyone who takes the time to read this to think about how they are going to treat YOUR pet, would you like your elderly pet to go through withdrawal because a doctor wants a couple hundred extra bucks? Would you want to feel the way we felt - to feel the way our dog felt? If he was a medical doctor he would lose his right to practice medicine. The staff looked ashamed. They offered us treatment at $68 then upped it to $98 - when we said yes they upped it to $500+ - when we turned that down flatly offered us treatment for $300+ - not sure how that make sense at all. The rudest part was the old woman who came to tell us no. The doctor wouldn't even give us an explanation - it must have not been worth his time. We're looking into into what we can do to make this vet loose his license - if he's really a vet. He doesn't act like one, don't talk like one. I really miss the previous vet. Dr S was really gruff but he loved animals. In closing - I believe you're making a horrible decision if you take your animal to this vet. I feel so bad for the young ladies who work there - it has to be awful dealing with the environment there...seeing sick pets get turned away because you can't stick to your pricing. Just stay away - you've been warned - and so has PETA and the ASPCA. read more

We had an unfortunate experience at Blvd. Animal Hospital this evening. Our chinchilla was convulsing and bleeding from her ear. I drove her there. I had never been there prior. Dr. Judge came out and advised that she may have a punctured ear drum. The best thing for her was to put her down. I was a wreck needles to say the least and I agreed. His technician came out a few minutes later with a form for me to authorize the procedure. The form was blank. The technician advised it would be $95 for the emergency visit and then $175 for the euthanasia. I signed the form. I went to the desk to pay the bill, I noticed the bill totaled almost $400. I asked to see the form I signed and explained to the receptionist that the amount didn't look correct. When she presented me the form there were several more boxes checked for additional services. I advised the receptionist who called out the technician that this is not what was presented to me. The document had been altered after I signed. Dr. Judge then came out raised his voice, used profane language in front of other clients, and had a total unprofessional demeanor. He admitted to altering the document then told me to get the f out. I collected my animal and left. Thank God the receptionist seemed to be the only one who was empathetic. I am now home and going to burry our animal with our kids. read more

I don't go to Boulevard Pet Hospital anymore because the last visit. My dog had this horrible bad breath after a dental cleaning. The bad breath stayed for months until I brought him to another vet and found that he have two decaying teeth. The other had to extract the two teeth and now he's jumping around again. You can tell their not very good because they're never busy. Read some of the bad reviews. I believe they're true. read more

Highly recommend Dr. Judge at Boulevard Pet Hospital for small animals! I own mice, and finding a vet to see them is a feat in itself. On top of that, finding a vet who is super knowledgeable and also won't coat an arm and a leg is a challenge. Dr. Judge has performed successful surgery on one of our smallest mice, treated our others for various reasons, and overall been fantastic!!! We will always make the drive for our mice to see him. Cannot recommend to others enough! read more

Very unprofessional vet. I brought in a rabbit and as soon as I explained that I had consulted with the house rabbit society (a great nonprofit in Richmond), he cut me off and said he "hated the woman who runs that because she thinks she knows more than [he] does," etc etc. Uh, okay. He went on and on and then told me to leave because clearly it's not the right place for me. I was more than happy to. As I left, I heard an animal screaming in the back room wh read more

I will never recommend anyone taking any pet here. Now that Dr S has retired Dr Judge does nothing but nickel and dime his patients/clients and drop the ball - when requesting records to be released to go to a new veterinary hospital expect to make multiple phone calls over multiple days in order to get anything done. read more
