My best friend cat died two weeks ago and they were so kind. Walked out as a zombie and they were just so kind.

The most amazing service and the friendliest staff. They have always been so accommodating and helpful when it came to my babies. Big shoutout especially to Dr. Pescar and Dr. Asento for all of their help and for always have such a welcoming and positive/gentle attitude. Dr. Pescar is incredibly knowledgeable and helped me make great decisions for my baby. Thank you guys so much!!! read more

I almost want to gatekeep but they deserve the great review. Thought my cat Destiny had a fox tail in her nose. There were no vet appointments in Visalia until next Thursday. I begged them to call me if they got a cancellation and they did! I was able to be seen the next morning. Thank you read more

The staff were very welcoming and took care of our dog with great care. Highly recommend

Top notch staff and incredible bedside manner. We aren't from the area and didn't have a regular vet picked out. Before I get into the story of why, I would absolutely come back to Dr. Proctor and his team. We had to go to an emergency hospital the day before and our dogs condition ended up being very rare. We brought her into Dr Proctor for a second opinion and possible euthanasia. When we visited Dr. Proctor, he fit us in on a half day, reviewed her records and explained the difficulty of her condition. His sensitivity to my wife's and my needs was beyond my expectation. He was prepared to treat her condition but respected and understood our choice to put our girl down. I don't have words to thank him and his vet tech staff for how they handled our dog and us. read more

Didn't get my injured dog seen but they were very kind and referred us to Fresno. They came up under emergency vet search and they said they are NOT an emergency vet. read more

My dog had a sore on his paw. New to the area, I checked yelp. Everyone was great when we arrived. Decently priced and communicated everything along the way. They even called to check on him after being on antibiotics for several days. read more

I was told to book the appointment I need to pay a $62 deposit on a card. WHO pays for services they have not re'cd. She says the deposit goes toward the service and $62 is the fee for the office visit. AGAIN. Who pays for a service they have not re'cd. Will not start down a pay tge a business that operates like this read more

We took our puppy and had a decent experience. Our puppy received parvo and other appropriate shots. We were new to the clinic and our daughter had used them for years. read more

Won't see your dog with an open wound because they're "not taking any new clients" .... Great job guys. Sad I can't give zero stars.

We had to bring our sweet 18 year old kitty in this weekend for end of life assistance, which was very traumatic as it was our first experience with having a pet put to sleep. Everyone was so wonderful at the clinic. They were kind and gentle with both my husband and I, and our Jasmine. Every step was explained and we were given as much time as we needed to say goodbye and make arrangements for her cremation. The office was tidy and welcoming and we felt very comfortable there. read more

Wonderful and caring people. They gave my dog great care at a fair price. Easy to schedule an appointment.

Dr. Koiman and Dr. Johnson took great care of my yorki and schitzu. Unfortunately they recently passed. Please take your pets here, they are all wonderful. read more

This place is AMAZING! From the customer service, to the office, to the veterinarian! They were so caring and made me feel so comfortable.

Love these guys! So caring and compassionate. Extremely professional Dr. A. Is the best kitty doctor I have ever came across. Kudos to the whole team. read more

Took my cat to get her yearly vaccines and was very happy with my visit! Everyone was very friendly and answered all my questions. I definitely recommend this place. read more

They charge a $62 fee for cancelling an appointment, even if it is a few minutes before. Moreover, they don't tell you about this beforehand. I asked to speak to a manager who never called me back. The one other time I was in there I waited 20 minutes in a room for the doctor to give my dog two shots, even though there was only one other dog in there. On a separate occasion, they gave me grief about rabies shots proof even though I was going to get the proof by the end of the day...Go to Petco instead. They take longer, but at least you know what you are getting in terms of fees... read more

Had an excellent experience here. It was the first time going there. Took my cat in that had a pretty big bite on her hind quarters. Dr. was very informative and I was completely comfortable with her treatment. The staff was very friendly and professional, highly recommend! read more

It's $50 each to get an "estimate" to neuter kittens. That was the response I got when I asked how much it is to neuter a litter of kittens.

I brought my 2yr old kitty in, who was clearly not feeling very well, and they took such good care of her, I could not thank them enough! Everyone is so very kind and communicate with you every step of the way. Dr. Sunderson & Kaitlyn are absolutely amazing, they eased my anxiety, as well as my kitty's, & answered all my questions about my sweet girl. I brought her home & she is already starting to act more like herself They call to check in for updates & seem genuinely concerned with the well being of your fur baby. read more

The only place I will take my Furbaby! Hands down the best, most caring staff and doctors. When I lost my beloved Moxie they were so very kind and his long time doctor, Dr. Sunderson even sent a handwritten card. Fast forward to my new rescue, and Dr. Martin. She has such patience with Bubba who can be an excitable, if not always cooperative patient. She answered all my questions and even gave me tips and ideas on his care. I can't say enough good things about Care Veterinary Clinic. Thank you so much! read more

I'm so grateful to have found this Veterinary Clinic in Visalia. Dr. Bryan Proctor, DVM is the most compassionate & kind veterinary, I have ever met. My Sharee needed a full check up, vaccines and also a skin diagnosis. They were all so gentle, compassionate and kind. The prices were reasonable and most of all made my sweet Sharee feel comfortable through out the process. I would trust and highly recommend them. Thank you for restoring my faith in humanity! read more

I chose this clinic a little over a year ago after I became a first time pet owner after reading all the positive Yelp reviews. As with any business, and especially one that deals with our furry family members, there are some negative reviews... but the fact that the owner always politely replies to those with an explanation really eased my concern- it showed me that he cares about people's pets AND his business and I appreciate and respect that. Dr. Neu has been our vet, and I have brought my dog Lucy in for all her vaccinations, one appointment when she was a pup and she was acting sick (they did the appropriate testing and an exam and it turned out she must have eaten something weird- she was back to her normal self a day or so later,) and for her spay. Lucy LOVES going to the vet. The girls who work here are always super sweet with her, love on her, tell her how cute she is, etc. They always ask before petting her or giving her treats, but Lucy is always so excited to see them I don't think I could keep her from them if I tried. :) Dr. Neu is great at explaining anything I need to know and answering any questions I may have, and she has a sweet, calming, professional presence... and Lucy loves her too. Dr. Neu always makes sure to give her lots of loves and pets before her exams, vaccinations, etc. I'm always provided with thorough instructions, up front estimates, etc., and they're great about using technology to communicate when vaccinations are due, emailing records as requested (in a timely fashion,) etc. Lucy's most recent appointment was today for her spay. They've definitely had to revamp procedures to accommodate their patients in the era of COVID-19, but they've adapted well- everything was done efficiently and safely. Thanks Care Vet Clinic! UPDATE: They called earlier today (the day after Lucy's surgery,) just to check on her and see how she was doing-- greatly appreciated and really classy. :) read more

I can't believe this guy is still in business! We took our dog in to see him in the 90's. He walked in the room, our dog growled and he hit her so hard she was knocked down to the floor. I consulted with three other vets and was told they would absolutely NEVER hit a pet EVER. His partner at the time called me and pleaded with us not to go public. He tried to make excuses for his bad behavior. When I went to pick up her records from the office, they had written "Owner does not want pet to be disciplined" in caps. I still have all her records, including from the Vet who cared for her for the rest of her life. She lived to be 12 and was never, ever aggressive with anyone. Do people like that change? read more

Our dog Samantha bravely fought a burglar. She was hurt in the fight cuz the guy had a hammer. Not exaggerating, the wound was easily 8"x 6". A large flap of flesh. We contacted CVC and immediately we were seen. After the vet (Melissa) saw Samantha and assessed the damage she came to me personally and broke down the process. She was very empathetic, sharp and professional. the price was very reasonable. Later down the road my heeler Samantha was even excited to go to "see the vet" lol! I'd say those exact words and she'd get super excited. The staff was also very professional. As a business owner my self I understand you can't Always make every one happy. But in my case (and samanthas) we are very happy with our personal experience. TOO BAD THEY CANT STICH ME UP, GIVE ME PILLS AND TREATS !! I'D BE A REGULAR read more

I've been going to Care Vet for at least 20 years with my cats and I recommend no other. I've seen various Veterinarians there and they're all great. I've been very happy with their professionalism and care of my pets. read more

My Shihtzu ended up with urgent surgery due to a dang, huge, foxtail down in her ear! She has been my world for almost 12 years, they took her in and kept me reassured (I was pretty worried the way she cried and shook her head), but she came out so much better!! Great Dr and crew! read more

My experience at care veterinary clinic was amazing. Nichole (front desk person) was so receptive and understanding of my emergency and fit me in the day of , which was a relief. Jackie was the vet technician examined my dog while telling my worried 3 year old step by step what she was doing for her dog. Then Dr. Sunderson did the same when he came into the room, and also pointed out things about my dog I was going to mention but he beat me to it. Literally everyone was happy that worked there and loved animals. All the staff had multiple dogs and cats at home, I know this because my daughter asked everyone that worked there. Thank you for my experience, I am grateful for your professional help. Violet is doing great thanks to you guys. read more

1) We were called to come in at 730 in the morning which was fine and appreciated, but we were told to show up @0720. 2) Estimate was Definitely NOT provided prior to services provided. It was provided after the Veterinarian did the exam, administered the single Rabies Vaccine and left. (she was great btw) 3) There was never a complaint about the speed of the Written Rx. 4) I'm pretty confident Costco is a Reputable Company. 5) I am definitely Easily Satisfied with Good Service. read more

The staff at Care Vet are amazing. Dr Nathan Sunderson is a very caring and knowledgeable veterinarian. My dogs Toby and Molly love him, and his compassion for animals is very evident, the people that goes to this clinic sees it as well as the animals feel it. Dr Sunderson is amazing and a blessing to all. I always receive a estimate before any test or medications are given to my dogs. The wait time is average from all other places I have been previously. I recommend this office to all pet owners. Anna Berg read more

We come to this clinic for 17 years, they always take good care of our animals. Yesterday it was a sad time for us to put one of our Golden Retrievers to sleep at the age of 14 years. Due to the Covid-19 customers are not allowed in the clinic, but since we needed to put our sweet dog to sleep we were allowed to stay with our dog and they let us into the side door. Dr Sonja Peterson took all the time for us to say goodbye to our dog, when the dog past away without pain and actually pretty fast, Dr Sonja and the staf gave us all the time to stay with our dog to say farewell, this gave us such a peaceful feeling and made the pain for us a little more bearable. Thank you Dr Sonja and staf for the great job. Astrid & Leon read more

Everyone at this office shows kindness and compassion. They are polite and I can always get an appointment when needed. Dr. Sunderson is one of the best vets that I have ever come across. He takes the time to examine your pet, is knowledgeable and takes the time to answer questions. We had to put our cat down after she rapidly declined from an illness. Dr. Sunderson and everyone in the office were true professionals. read more

Very happy with the staff and treatment of our dog. Front office staff are helpful. The vet didn't recommend a plethora of vaccines and unnecessary treatments, which other vets have at other clinics. We have been twice for our dog and feel good about continuing with his care there. read more

I was so lucky to find Dr. Sunderson, he is so compassionate with my animals, has never tried to push me one way or the other(no guilt trips here) I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent veterinarian at care veterinary Dorothea st visalia read more

Simply put they don't know the process for international travel and will try to bleed you and squeeze you of your money for this whole process. More details: First off the requirements for a pet to travel in a plane is a health certificate and vaccines. Then the health certificate is noted by the nearest USDA-APHIS VS. There is no question there. We even came to their clinic having done all the research knowing that the only requirement we needed was a rabies vaccine and a health certificate. We called all the government offices and they assured us of this. Then, off the bat, this clinic wants us to do is call a "pet relocation service" (i.e. pay me thousands of dollars to have your pet relocated). I believe they recommended Air Animal or a different option that quoted us $2000 and up. We obviously do not want this option because , while they would do all the paperwork, they would still ship the pet in a cargo space by herself for 16 hours. If we do everything correctly we would be able to travel with our pet in cabin and it only would have cost us $150 max for the airfare and $200 max for all the paper work and vaccines. We refused and said we just need the rabies vaccine updated and the health certificate. Second, they wanted to up sell the vaccines. See, we're traveling to where vaccines would be cheaper. We refused them several times but because they were talking as if they wouldn't do the health certificate without those vaccines we decided to just pay for it. So we ended up spending a ton of money on vaccines we ended up not needing for the purpose of this travel. Third, we asked several times, directly "do you have the International Health Certificate USDA-APHIS 7001 form?". They answered yes several times and we did not think to research what the form looked like. That was a mistake on our part because it turns out that they did not have the "International Health Certificate USDA-APHIS 7001 form" but had an old form that the USDA-APHIS has phased out. The form had been changed for over 4 years and this Veterinary clinic did not have this updated. Fourth, the good doctor forgot to put her signature on the Rabies health certificate. Something that is a standard procedure for all pet travel, international or not, with the old and new forms Fifth, This would all not be an issue if there was a USDA-APHIS VS that would certify these forms in Visalia. This can only be done in Los Angeles/ San Francisco. So unknowingly with the wrong form, and missing signatures we head out 4 hours to go and be rejected for travel because of this doctor's mistake. We had to go back to Visalia from los angeles (another 4 hours) to have them correct their mistake and have her sign a page then go back to Los Angeles to finally have it certified (another 4 hours = total 12 hours wasted). When we called for assistance from them they could not either wait for us to arrive. When we "set up" a time to meet earlier than their hours this problem was not even endorsed to anyone. We ended up waiting a long time early in the morning knocking on their door and being looked down on their secretary since their sign clearly said they were still closed. The worst is throughout the phone calls and the conversation in the clinic about their mistakes that cost us several working days, gas and money, they blamed us and told us that we should have just done the overpriced "Pet Relocation Services". This review is for their service/help for animals going outside of the country. Whether they provide stellar care on a regular basis is irrelevant to the service I received from them. They have very poor patient-doctor relationships. The doctor who forgot her signature and talked down to us was Dr Asento. read more

Glad I found this vet. Brought my doggie here today, and she was great! The place is so clean, the staff is so friendly, and the prices are reasonable.
