I was impressed from the start by their clean, user-friendly site that offered a number of options for appointments and different doctors. I made one for 10:00 AM the next day. My dachsund was having back issues and was obviously in pain. He needed help and found it at Modern Animal. Doctors Kim and Lazarus diagnosed the issue and prescribed meds that solved the problem and he was back to normal in a few weeks. They have an interesting business model (and a great app). You pay $199 and get free office visits for a year. You stil pay for treatments and meds, but the exam is already included. I wish I'd done that the first time I went. They were just acquired by Chewy.

I moved back to LA around 3 ish years ago and have since been looking for a vet where I feel comfortable, nothing is rushed and prices are VERY reasonable compared to other places I've been to. I even was able to get somewhat of a last minute appointment with them and they were so great about calling to get me an even earlier time. I've had my fair share of visits with the vet because anytime somethings wrong with my dog, I try and get it checked out right away. The people here are very kind, thorough, they make sure to ask all the questions and also answer all the ones I have. Again, prices are super reasonable too especially with some others in the area I've tried out. If you're in the La Crescenta/ La Canada area, I HIGHLY recommend this place. Parking is also very convenient!

I brought my dog in for her annual check up and she had some crusting around her lip so I asked the vet tech to have the doctor take a look. When Dr. Youn came out, he casually mentioned that he had shaved her entire chin to clean the area. I did not consent to anything beyond a basic look. Instead, Dr. Youn decided on his own to shave off my dog's entire chin with ZERO communication and ZERO explanation beforehand. I was never asked for permission and I wasn't informed this would happen before it was done. I only found out after the fact, when he strolled in like it was no big deal. No heads up. No "can I do this." Just done. That is not how veterinary care is supposed to work. Vets are supposed to inform and get consent from owners before altering their pet in any way, this is basic professional practice, not an inconvenience to skip because it seemed minor to him.

DO NOT BRING YOUR BELOVED PET HERE…read more I have never heard my dog scream in fear the way she did at this clinic. We brought her in for routine vaccinations, and instead of administering the shots with us present, they dragged her into a separate room. Within moments, we could hear her screaming, crying, and yelping in absolute panic. The sounds coming from that room were horrifying. My partner and I were sitting there in shock, genuinely terrified about what was happening to our dog. My partner was able to see through a window that multiple staff members were physically restraining her. She is a small dog, and I still cannot understand why the measure they took was needing several people forcibly holding her down or why the procedure continued while she was in such extreme distress. This wasn't a brief reaction--it went on for several minutes while she screamed. We have had dogs our entire lives. This was not normal. We have taken her to other veterinarians for vaccinations before and never once experienced anything remotely close to this. She has always done fine with shots. We have never heard her make sounds like that before. It was genuinely traumatic to witness, and I can only imagine how traumatic it was for her to experience. What made it even worse was the complete lack of concern afterward. There was no meaningful acknowledgment of how distressed she had been, no explanation that made the experience feel justified, and no indication that anyone cared about the emotional well-being of our pet. To add insult to injury, this clinic is incredibly expensive. For the prices they charge, I expected compassionate care, attentive staff, and a veterinarian who genuinely cared about the animals being treated. Instead, we left feeling like our dog was treated as a problem to be restrained rather than a living creature deserving patience and care. This experience completely destroyed our trust in this clinic. We will never bring our dog back, and I would strongly encourage other pet owners to think carefully before entrusting their animals to this practice.

My dog has formed a small lump in between one of his paws & it was leaking puss. I went ahead & called Hillcrest & the receptionist was able to get me an appointment for the next day instead of having me come in as urgent. Once I was with the vet, they looked at his paw & concluded that this might have been caused by a fox tail. I tried to explain that I didn't believe that was the case since I had not walked my dog around the neighborhood yet nor were there any foxtails by my home. They were pretty convinced this was still the case despite me mentioning maybe an ingrown hair or some other cause. The vet didn't really listen to my opinion & instead recommended my dog either be given medication or go under the knife. Personally, recommending surgery was a ridiculous suggestion in my opinion. It felt scummy. I went with medication, bandaging & cleaning his wound. It totaled to about $403. In the end, the bandaging they did on my dog gave him a new wound that required me to take him to a different vet 2 weeks later. Turns out, the initial lump was just a symptom of my dog having allergies! Condensed Version: -Staff: Super friendly & accommodating. -Veterinarian: They could do better in listening to the owner, especially before jumping to surgery. -Location: Parking in the area was terrible. -Price: Expensive, $403, they kept insisting I buy certain things despite me saying I already had something similar. -Overall Impression: I appreciate the staff willing to accommodate us at the last minute. However, my dog developed a NEW wound due to their bandaging so I had to take him to a different vet. Recommending surgery was a big red flag to me, turns out, it was just allergies! I would have a hard time returning back in the future.

From that very first visit, they've walked alongside us through every season of her life. They've celebrated her milestones, comforted us through the scary moments, and treated our girls: Bay and Ava, with such tenderness. Everyone there, from the front desk (Auntie Lynn!) to the vet techs to the doctors (Dr. Schnabel!), has shown us a level of care that goes far beyond professionalism. It feels like love. It feels like family. We drive from the Valley to Glendale without hesitation because there is simply no one else we trust with our fur babies. Visit after visit, they've cared for our girls, but they've also cared for us. We recommend them with full hearts. VCA Arden isn't just our veterinary clinic...they've become woven into the story of our family. Thank you VCA Team!

Then Nikki's care club autorenewed. Ok, fine, the two offices clearly don't share information, so I called VCA Arden and asked to speak to a manager to see what could be done. They weren't available and I was told I would receive a call back. No call. So I call again a couple of days later, same thing. Manager isn't available, but they'll call you back. We go back and forth for TWO WEEKS and they never call back. Eventually AMEX refunds me the money and I cancel care club online. What an abhorrent way to treat a client, especially a grieving client. I will never recommend VCA again, and I will not be bringing any animals back. What a joke.
