VMSG located in San Juan Capistrano really understands how traumatic these unfortunate visits could be and they take everything into consideration. We had to bring our Cavalier King Charles in for 24 hour emergency visit around 1 am. We called ahead as they recommend, they answered, and upon arrival the staff was waiting for us, ready to take her right into treatment. The doctors and especially the front desk staff member, Lynne, kept us updated with the treatment process and prognosis and explained all of our options with caring and compassion. Lynne was very good at answering all of our questions and concerns allowing us to make the right decisions at the right time. We're very grateful that we were able to take our little loved one home afterwards to recover. This is a complete facility with all Diagnostics being performed on site including the CVCA Cardiology clinic next door. They provide clean restroom, beverages and even snacks in their waiting area for the family members.

I was preparing for the worst. 4 days in the ICU, a plasma transfusion, around the clock fluids, pressors to keep his BP up, and a whole pharmacy of meds later... he is HOME and recovering great. They told me his kidney levels were dangerously high on intake and by discharge they were completely normal. I still can't believe it. Special shoutout to Dr. Seo who was working the day Leo was at his worst. He called me Monday afternoon to tell me to come in because Leo was deteriorating. I will never forget that conversation. He fought for my dog when I genuinely thought we were saying goodbye. And to Dr. O'Donnell who oversaw his recovery and gave me incredibly clear, honest updates the entire time, even when the news was hard to hear. They were transparent every step of the way, gave me itemized estimates before each new day. If your pet is having an emergency and you're in OC, go here. They have a board certified critical care specialist on staff (not every ER does) and it makes all the difference for cases like Leo's. Forever grateful to this team. They gave me my boy back.

If you're thinking about using his service, I highly recommend him. He truly understands how sensitive this process is and treats your pets with love and dignity. Just a tip: if you're especially emotional (like I was), it can help to have someone there to assist with carrying them afterward also something to carry them out in. I'm so grateful for the care and compassion Dr.Wiekamp showed us.

After the usual ER visit we knew we had to see a Neurologist. After a couple of visit in the usual mercenary places in Southern California were the doc don't care, a nurse suggested to contact DR Murray. Within an our she called us back and we made an appointment for the next day as the situation was getting worse by the ours. At the appointment the doctor suggested the MRI to see what was going on (while other doctor dismissed the situation and said to wait a bit longer!!!). The MRI showed a herniated disc completely out of the spine and the only hope was surgery. EVEN if the doctor was really busy that day she endured a 3 HOURS surgery and removed the offending disk that was causing an incredible amount of pain and slowly paralyzing his back legs. Well to make the story short our bellowed Julius is at home now recovering. The incision surgery looks great and healing. The most important part is that Julius is walking pain free! 2 week so far 6 more to go for a complete rehab recovery. We cannot thanks enough doctor Murray for everything!!!

Late Thursday night, my neighbors' 14-year-old dog, whom I walk every morning and absolutely adore, suddenly took a horrible turn and was unable to move. We were terrified and honestly feared the worst. His owners didn't want to put him through the stress and pain of trying to move him, so I became determined to find someone who would come to the house. We called approximately 15 different veterinary hospitals and mobile vets, and no one was able or willing to come out. Finally, a friend recommended Salt & Sea, and I am SO incredibly grateful they did. Not only did Salt & Sea come to the house, but they arrived with such compassion, kindness, and professionalism. They were incredibly efficient while still taking the time to make him feel comfortable and cared for. They assessed him, treated what they believed was causing the problem, and gave us hope during a really scary situation. I am beyond happy to say that just TWO DAYS LATER, he is back on his feet, walking again, and on his way to recovery!

**1 star** We…read morebrought our Cavapoo puppy Rufus here for his first wellness visit on 6/29, and it set the tone for what turned into a genuinely frustrating experience. At that first visit -- Rufus was 11 weeks old and hadn't finished his parvo series yet -- the husband (this is a husband-and-wife practice with no front desk staff) asked to weigh him on the floor scale out in the open lobby. When I asked how recently it had been cleaned, he apologized, ushered us into a treatment room, and sterilized a smaller scale instead. Small thing on its own, but not a great first impression on basic biosecurity for an unvaccinated puppy. That visit came to $713, itemized down to the office visit, vaccines, a tech fee, a biohazard fee, a fecal/Giardia panel, dewormer, Simparica Trio, probiotics, ear cytology, ear cleaning, ear drops, and a cone for an ear infection diagnosed on the spot. Most of it was legitimate care. Parts of it felt like a menu. Before we left, we scheduled two follow-up vaccines for 7/23: his final DA2PP (parvo) booster and his second Leptospirosis shot. Both the invoice and the clinic's own reminder email confirmed exactly those two -- nothing else. Today (7/23) I sat down in the lobby and the husband immediately pulled out an iPad to pitch an additional influenza vaccine before we'd even discussed why we were there. When I asked about the two shots we'd actually scheduled, he told me the DA2PP shouldn't be given until Rufus turns 16 weeks -- reversing what his own clinic had scheduled three weeks earlier -- and then said there were three shots on the books for today, which matches neither the invoice nor their reminder email. When I calmly asked for clarification, he kept steering the conversation back to the upsell, then raised his voice and told me there are "plenty of other vets in the area" who could take Rufus -- in the middle of the lobby, in front of another client waiting with her dog. The medicine itself may well be fine. But a solo husband-and-wife shop with no front desk, vaccine guidance that changes appointment to appointment, and a vet who literally yells at a client for asking questions is not where I'm bringing my dog back to. We're finding Rufus a new vet.
