    Lily and her favorite dog, Summer, who met her at the Rainbow Bridge. RIP sweet girls.
    Michelle B.

    We found ourselves in need of an urgent care vet again, this time for our 18-year old cat Lily. First, I am so grateful that this place is open for extended hours and on Sundays. Fast forward to the point of this review-LBC Vets offered a reasonable treatment plan, reviewed it with us in detail, showed the cost up front, did not pressure us to follow any of the cost-associated options, and offered us excellent customer service (by Dr. Marroquin, the vet tech staff, the front desk staff). We took Lily in on a Sunday because of bleeding in her nose. The suspected cause was 100% unlikely (rat poisoning) since Lily was an indoor, lazy cat. The next obvious cause (cancer) was very likely, but LBC Vets didn't have the equipment to perform CT Scans or ultrasounds. Lily was stable, the bleeding had slowed down, and she was fiesty/angry at me taking her off her cat bed, so we brought her back home. Once home, she began bleeding again. I called LBC Vets and they asked me to bring her back (no exam fee this time). This time, Dr. Marroquin spent quite a while with us talking about all options for a treatment plan. We felt no pressure to do or not do any of the options suggested, and the cost was clear. With her sound advice, we took Lily home again, curled up for the night, and planned to take her to our vet, Little Cottonwood/Dr. Horvath) the next day (Monday). On Monday, Dr Horvath made her comfortable (pain med, sub-Q fluids, etc.), and we found a vet with an ultrasound specialist (Primary Care, Wardlow, LB). The ultrasound showed that Lily had been transparent and brave with us while cancer had grown throughout her sweet body. With the ultrasound information, we had all of the information we needed to make the decision to let her go in peace. The end of this story is sad. Saturday Lily was screaming/yowling for her breakfast at 4 am as usual, and Sunday we were in Urgent Care discussing treatment options. We knew the day would come, and finding the right kind of care during that time is crucial. I am grateful for LBC Vet's Dr. Marroquin's, the vet tech staff, and the front desk staff's professionalism, friendliness, helpfulness during this time with Lily. With that said, the cost was reasonable for what we received at LBC Vets. Dr. Marroquin spent enough quality time with us and with Lily to prepare us to find the right services on Monday so we could make a confident decision. LBC Vets was there when we needed them and I am glad that we have their Urgent Care Services available to us.

    Stelly in her ultimate HAPPY PLACE

    We have taken BOTH our girls to LBC Vets and I am so glad that we found them! They were there in our time of need for our puppies emergency. And most recently we had to take our old girl in for a senior check-up, we had several concerns and the vet listened, she was empathetic and helped us come up with the best plan. I literally cannot say enough about this place, our babies are in the best hands! If you come here too, you will feel their genuine love and compassion for your furry one. Thank you LBC Vets, Stella and Pearl love you guys!

    I feel like this review is just going to make them busier but I won't gate keep. So the good is my 8yo labradoodle caught pneumonia last year. His previous vet wasn't giving him an adequate diagnosis or treatment plan and we had no idea what was really wrong but he kept getting sicker. We took him to another local vet and he still wasn't getting better so we ended up at LBC Vets. The vet's are caring and thorough. Long story longer...he was given a cocktail of meds; for which one, Theophyllyn made him even sicker. Although that was given under their care, he needed to be hospitalized and put in an oxygen chamber for 3 days. They course corrected immediately and took him off that med. He got better after about a month and a 1/2 after getting out the hospital, and we are so grateful. Cons: Parking: like others are saying, parking sucks. Be patient. Busy: Yes. It's busy. That's a good and bad thing. There is "some" parking in the back. Another Pro Tip: Their groomer (The Bark Boutique works directly at the LBC Vets office Sarah is the best doodle groomer I've found!!)

    Where do I even start?? This veterinary hospital is top tier. I can't recommend them enough! Dr. Kessler and team provided such amazing care for my cat Bowie who went into respiratory distress two days ago. They took him in right away and admitted him. They made it as affordable as possible and kept me updated and were always available to answer any questions or concerns I had. I found out my Bowie has asthma but they explained how it's manageable and that he will be good! I can't express my gratitude enough to this office and how amazing they are. If you need somewhere to take your pet and you want high quality care, pick LBC Vets! Thank you for everything!

    Lucy & her pups!

    I just want to start with a BIG THANK YOU!!!! I took my very pregnant Old English Sheepdog She was in active labor and I was completely nervous even though I read and was " ready". Adriana was awesome!! Very patients and helpful. Lucy was sent home to have her puppies . But LBC Vet never let her alone! They provided helpful info and help over the phone when the pups arrived. They took the time to explain over the phone and the constant text to check on Lucy was much appreciated. We are very grateful to had found LBC Vet & the great staff!!.

    I've never had to make the trip to an emergency clinic until I got my second cat who displayed signs of constipation. The receptionist is incredibly bubbly, and even offered an alternative so that I wouldn't have to spend money. However, the alternative didn't work, and they attended my kitten shortly after. I was there for four hours with very lovely and helpful staff, and left with medication that softened my kittens stool the next day! Given how well my walk-in appointment went, this has become my go-to for emergencies. On a side note, amenities are included!

    See all

He had localized cancer in one limb and we chose amputation and he lived happily for years with careful follow up within this clinic and was put down with compassion and love when his time came to cross the rainbow bridge. We were mailed a note from staff along with his cremation which we still have. I brought my now senior cat (17 years old) here and did not feel the same kindness and I'm very disappointed and miss the previous team. I was informed we're starting with blood work but his symptoms may indicate neurological up to and including a brain tumor. I do not disagree with this assessment or recommendations as I work in the medical field and brought him in for these concerns. With that said, there is a way to deliver this information with kindness (as I previously received by Dr Gambles practice for my other cat) that was not delivered today. I inquired prior to my appointment if it would have to be a drop off appointment and they said no, exams are with the pet parent present however my cat needed blood work. Feisty as he is, he would need sedation. This sedation I was told was only gas. I'm certainly aware this does not require hours of recovery but I understand the need for drop off. However, I was told they would call me when pickup is ready and I told the tech I need some time frame. I was informed it would be 6+ hours "because we have other clients". I could understand if the rational was sedation for a period of time, but to keep my cat, in distress for being at the vet, for 6+ hours for blood work due to other clients when I made an appt discussing my concerns before coming seems excessive. Upon my question for this concern my cat was just brought out to me. I appreciate this as I do not want my cat in care where his time isn't considered as my main concern is his comfort especially in his age and condition. Overall, I won't be returning. I'm very disappointed in the care that has changed at this clinic. This is not the care that would have ever been delivered with Dr Gamble. **follow up, my cat had an appt with a different clinic and got blood work twice with me present in the room. He was treated with compassion which led to him being compliant without sedation. Additionally, the vet heard a heart murmur that was not discussed at the conclusion of this previous vet assessment. This makes me question the thoroughness of the assessment and the need for sedation as I was not present when they stated they attempted blood work.

I brought my dog in for a routine anesthetic dental cleaning. During the procedure, I received a call saying they needed to extract four teeth and that the total would be $2,400. I've had anesthetic dental cleanings done for my dogs at multiple veterinary hospitals over the years, including procedures with extractions, and I have never paid anywhere near that amount. After my husband questioned the estimate, the cost suddenly dropped to around $1,000 for two extractions. That alone left us wondering how the original quote was determined. The pickup experience was even more disappointing. I was handed three pieces of paper with very little explanation and no medication. Every other veterinarian I've been to has sent my dog home with pain medication directly from the clinic. Instead, I was told I needed to call around to CVS and other pharmacies to find one that could fill the prescriptions. Meanwhile, my poor dog had just undergone oral surgery and was crying in pain. I had to take her home first, then immediately drive to CVS. Once there, the pharmacist spent over 30 minutes on the phone with the vet trying to clarify the prescriptions. Then came the most alarming part of the entire experience. One of the prescribed medications was rejected by the pharmacist because it contained xylitol, a sugar alcohol that is highly toxic to dogs and can be fatal if ingested. I was shocked that this prescription was written in the first place. Had the pharmacist not caught it, I could have unknowingly given my dog a medication containing an ingredient that poses a serious danger to dogs. That was the final straw. I have three dogs and recently moved to Long Beach, so I was hoping to find a veterinary clinic I could trust for years to come. Unfortunately, Pine Animal Hospital has lost what would have been a loyal customer. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this clinic and would encourage others to look elsewhere.

When I finally spoke with the doctor nearly a month later, he seemed to think we had already discussed the results.

I also requested my cat's medical records and was told they would be emailed to me, but they never were. The staff were always friendly and professional, which is why this experience was especially disappointing. My concern was never the friendliness of the team, but the lack of communication and follow-through. Had the findings been more serious, the delay in follow-up could have had much greater consequences. At the end of the day, I'd rather have prompt communication than have to repeatedly chase down results while worried about my pet's health. Time for a new vet.

I already had some hesitations about returning to this vet after my initial first exam with my kitten. It seemed like the doctor kept trying to up charge me. I adopted my kitten and knowing he had all of his vaccines except for one and was hoping to get this single treatment done here. Two appointments and hundreds of dollars later and he still hadn't even received the shot I brought him in for. After this final appointment with them, I was still rejected by the vet when I asked to get the initial shot I came in for, and told the nurse during checkout I would be going elsewhere. She relayed this to the vet, they came back out and told me they could get the shot if I really wanted to get it done this appointment. They just wanted me to return for another appointment down the line to spend even more money. I went to another vet (Thank you Long Becah Animal Hospital ) after this and they told me that I should not have wasted my time at the this hospital, my kitten could've gotten his shot his very first appointment. Upon my second appointment when I got to the facility, there was a woman and her dog in the lobby. The woman was in clearly in pain or mentally unstable and her dog was not being restrained and was out of control. When I opened to door, I was ushered into a room to be locked in by staff. I was in the room alone for over 30 minutes until I saw a nurse who came in for my kittens exam. They didn't come in to check in on us or let me know what was going on with the situation in the lobby. Throughout the wait, I could hear the dog owner very clearly frustrated with the staff, and not being properly helped. Meanwhile the dog kept barking and was apparently lunging at staff and passing patients (I was told this by the nurse after my appointment ). There are two doors in every exam room. One that leads to the lobby and one that leads to the employees area. I could hear the doctors and nurses gossiping behind the door that lead to the back employee hallway. The office seemed very aware of the unsafe situation going on, but felt no need to come in and let me know that everything was safe and okay. Afterwards, I came out to the lobby and found out they didn't really handle the situation. They pushed the woman and her dog just outside there door. Every patient coming in or out of the office had to pass her and the poor confused dog. I don't blame the woman who was looking for treatment for her animal, I am upset with the professionals who did not handle the situation with grace.

They saw him immediately, they were clear on pricing before care was administered, and the Vet and Techs were so responsive. Huckleberry is doing ok and we're on our way home with peace of mind.
