We were packing to go camping, when I noticed our 7 y/o labradoodle had gotten into some oatmeal…read moreraisin cookies and probably eaten 6. We took Waggy in to be examined. Everyone, from the person who greeted us to Dr. Anderson were wonderful. Our pup had to have vomiting induced, and it was pretty scary. We were given encouraging instructions on what to watch for. Thankfully, he is going to be okay.

Unbelievably great service. From our first phone call, of course on a holiday weekend, to meeting…read morethe front staff, and the talented vet techs. EVERYONE was kind, soothing and eager to help. My 11 year old Chihuahua-terrier mix dislocated her hip, she was crying in pain, we were beside ourselves, unable to help her. My husband called around who was open on a holiday weekend, and we found Atascadero Pet Hospital. They immediately invited us in to their beautiful facility and put my baby under anesthesia and put her hip back in place. We took her home in a hip sling, and she did wonderfully. We only had to give her the pain medicine that they sent us home with the first and second night. Today was our follow up and the hip sling is off and now we all have to do is pray that keeping her contained for a few more weeks with careful handling, her hip will heal and not need further surgery. I just can't express how much gratitude I have to these kind people and how wonderfully they treated us. I especially want a shout out to a young man, I think his name is Juan, young man, very handsome and just so in tuned to everything we needed to hear and how to take care of her once we got her home. He went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and assured us that we could call anytime of day or night if something happened that wasn't right or if my pet was in pain. I can't tell you how much this meant to us. Monkey is healing. We are so relieved to know that there are experts out there that will help us and be kind to our animals. Of course, the surgeon and the vets were amazing as well, so thank you to them and thank you for the time that they also spent with us explaining our options. And I just want to add, that those inaccurate reviews of this wonderful facility are likely hyperbole. Being a healthcare provider myself, for humans, I know, you can't make everybody happy. And you can't make miracles happen every time. There are many variables to consider when making a recommendation about options for health, and quality of life. It may not be an easy fix, and it may not be the best for the pet. And sometimes that's hard to hear. And, quite frankly, healthcare even if it's for a pet, is quite expensive. It's part of being a pet owner (or human). I was actually quite amazed that my dog had full-on anesthesia and her hip put back in place and a sling placed for such a reasonable amount. It was even less than they had quoted us and, they didn't ask to do a bunch of bloodwork and everything else ahead of time. They just took her to surgery and put her hip back in. Amazing! I stand behind what I said, these people are very mindful and compassionate in the work they do.

We have been bringing our three kitties here since early 2022 and we are just so impressed by the…read moreknowledge, care and kindness that every person on the staff and the vets have shown us and our precious fur children. We heartily encourage anyone who needs a good vet to check them out. We first went there because they were right down the road from our temporary stay in a pet-friendly hotel in Atascadero. Now that we live in Paso, it's still a short enough drive that we can take them here and we really think this is a special veterinary clinic. We used to live in Morro Bay and loved Dr Truax and Dr Stephens, both of whom are now retired. These A-Town vets are awesome. Thank you so much!! We have seen Dr Schmidt, Dr Ramos, and Dr Tarica and they were all great and really know their stuff.

First off, shout out to Dr. Stephanie who saved my pups life and Kathy at reception. Thus the two…read morepoints. My 1 year old pup had his dew claws removed by a different DR than we usually go to. The experience was a "zero" out of 5. He became infected; I sent in videos of him limping, he was improperly treated. I had to bring him to the Emergency Vet ($$$) as they didn't wrap it (they thought they did, but didn't, couldn't recall if they did stitches/did/didn't?... just a misfire of care all round). The truth is, they botched Tucker's foot, he was in a lot of pain/infected, and they did not own it, feel sorry, or anything. I have switched to amazing new vets since. It's too bad as front office staff, office manager and Dr. S are great. The dew claw dr was nice too, but the result was painfully bad.

Our amazing little Allie died about 3 weeks ago after being with our family for 14 of her 15 years…read moreof life. She was the only pet my girls ever had and also the only pet my wife ever had, so she was extremely special to all of us. We asked her vet what we should do after she passed at home and they said that they could help us take care of the cremation, if that's what we wanted to do. They asked a few questions in terms of private cremation versus communal and we chose the private. We took Allie over to the vet office and handed her over without really knowing what to expect. A couple of weeks later we received a call that her remains were back and that we could pick them up. I was just so pleasantly surprised and how much care was taken and simply the packaging and presentation to us as a surviving family. The beautiful little cedar box with its little gold lock was perfect. The card to our family and Tlthe cremation certificate gave us peace of mind that Allie was treated with care and respect. I went online to see if I could find out more about Oak Hills Memorial Pet Cremation and was so pleased to see the reviews from others who had had similarly positive experiences. If you find yourself in the same situation my family did 3 weeks ago, be sure to ask your vet about cremation options and put Oak Hills at the top of that list of service providers. You'll be glad you did.

They've serviced all my pets the last 25 years, totally impressed, I'm happy they are here, I felt…read morecomfortable that my pet DeeBo would be in good hands.

I recently moved to Morro Bay and had a hard time finding a good vet. I found one in Los Osos, but…read moreI couldn't afford the cost of spaying my little dachshund. So I made an appointment at Woods and I so happy I did. The process was very easy online. The drop off and pick up were trouble free. Their office is clean and staff was very helpful and kind. As far as her actual procedure, the incision healed perfectly and she had no problems. I honestly was afraid it would be a "hack" job and almost canceled. There was only one other dog that day in there being spayed, which made me feel better. The cost was reasonable and I'd recommend their service to anyone. I felt good about being a responsible owner. Thanks Woods Staff!

If you are looking for a tiny dog, don't get discouraged when later at the other shelters in this area if you are talked to as if you are crazy trying to get the most popular under 10 pound poodle mix. It's first come first served, and they don't monitor or give outside seating for handicap or Veterans, nor do they care if others push you aside trying to be at the desk before you. It wouldn't hurt to bring someone to fight for your right to stand upright first in line. Being a chair of your own and a witness! It's a dog eat dog world here in SLO and Santa Barbara County. Kill shelter dogs can be unmanageable so I decided to quit being ran over and talked down to in This State. California does have sweet people but don't expect assistance, bring your own, my elder friends and Veterans especially! Cats are easy peasy even go to Pet Stores and buy one. One place was so rude, she kept cutting me off, these lead women running these? Can be very controlling, manipulative and uncaring, as they cut you off, about dogs? $400.00 for example is the highest rate, to adopt after she gets them from a local shelter... and she will cut you off saying your going about it all wrong, yet your friends said to explain the difficulties you experienced prior, you were going to offer to meet up and volunteer. So pass it on to your elder handicapped friends and bring an adult witness. Woods Is Perfect for cat lovers!!!
