Bea B., my first dog taken to Lodi Veterinary Hospital.
Jeanne O.

I have used their services for almost 7 years, and was given the opportunity of taking 2 dogs to their hospital. I have a favorite Doctor there but I must stress that ALL the doctors and ALL the techs are wonderful and caring. I highly recommend, and would tell you to make an appt now. New patients can get a little backed up, but once you're in the system, you can be seen much sooner.

Cone of shame

Absolutely love this place!! I switched because my vet in Stockton almost tripled in price and the service/care was lacking. All the staff at this location are great and my boys never come out scared like they've been traumatized. Will recommend to everyone!

The office staff and vets are all so caring and kind. They answer all our questions and are so sweet to our pets. We've never had a bad experience. Highly recommend

My fur baby
Joyce F.

I am beyond upset. My little fur baby apparently had a seizure. My husband and I scooped her up and went to our Vet quickly as it was 4:45 and I knew they were closing at 5:30. We have been going to Lodi Veternarian Hospital on Lockeford street for 20 years. Well no more. When we arrived I followed the instructions on the door and called and told them I had an emergency as I didn't know what was happening to my baby. (I wanted to burst through the door with my baby) They informed me a tech would come Out as the Dr was getting ready to leave. (45 minutes early mind you) The tech said her gums were pink so she was stable and I could make an appointment for next week (wth??) or If I really wanted her seen today the emergency Vet opens at 6 pm! Oh hell no! I came over to Animal Hospital on Ham Lane and they had no problem seeing her and they are swamped. The Doctor and techs are running in and out to people waiting in their cars, delivering furbabies to their mommies and making sure everyone is taken care of. Everyone has to wait outside and in the pictures you can see people are coming and going. So we are outside while she is having a chest X-ray and some blood work. She has a heart murmur grade 6 on a scale of 6 . Also doing blood work. $738 later. It would of been 3 times that amount Had I'd gone to the emergency Veternarian. Been there, done that! The Veterinarian and staff at Lodi Veternarian have lost their compassion. I'm so done with them! I couldn't believe the Doctor would not even look at her and either reassure me she was fine or give me Bad news! So go home early because you just lost $738! The staff and Doctor at the Animal Hospital have been so kind and caring despite how extremely busy they are. I'll keep you posted on her prognosis

I wanted to leave a review for Lodi Animal Hospital Ham Lane Lodi Ca. I wish to leave this…read moreexcellent review for Samantha aka: Sara and, another employee named Samantha...she has dark hair and for my Cairn Terrier's dog named Scruffy"s Vet whose Vet's name is Dr., Sandeep Chahal DVM who all really and I mean really...helped me, "especially today on 7/14@ with me being able to go into the Lodi Animal Hospital with no appt, in-kinda a crisis self mode due to my 12.5 yr old dog named Scruffy, passing away on 7/5/26 and, me missing my furbaby with severe sadness, hear breaking bot being able to sleep much as I have to focus on other things and therefore, not be in master bedroom where he slept etc. I mean I had to purchase several stuffed animals and place them in different parts of our house to feel like he still here. Anyway, today 7/14/26 an employee named Samantha aka Sara who is so sweet and was always there for Scruffy and me on all his past visits and today 7/14/26 3 employees really helped me during this time of grief. A dark haired Samantha helped me today by saying Scruffy, knows how you feel right now, he knows...and, I totally believed that as well and, as I arrived home a song was playing and I heard, "I know, I know and how ironic I heard that just as I was getting out of my CRV. It was most definitely a sign from Scruffy in Heaven to me today 7/14/2026 with the help of God. Praise God and this rating is a 10! They are Top Gun...The Best Of The Best! I have always received kind, caring and compassionate care and help and service from Animal Hospital Ham Lane in Lodi Ca. for me and, my beloved dog named Scruffy. PS I had to search for the song and again ironically the name of the song is I Know by Tom Jones :) I was also ultimately able today without an appt in a heartfelt, pretty much grief stricken, no sleep crisis mode was able to see my kind, caring and compassionate Vet Dr Sandeep Chahal He is the best Vet for my doggie I could ever have wanted. He is knowledge, and the kind of person and caring/compassionate Vet you could ever wish for!!! This rating is not an excellent 5 ***** this rating is a 10 ********** Top Of The Line!

We came in at 4:30 pm and were told we would not be seen for at least another 45 minutes, despite the fact we had an appointment. Parking is terrible and we had to park at Walgreens. We only needed a simple Rabies vaccination. We could not wait another 45 minutes ( at least) so we rescheduled the appointment. On Tuesday 7/8/25 , we had another appointment set for 5 pm for a simple rabies vaccine. We arrived before 5 pm, checked in and were told once again it would be another 45 minutes despite the fact that we had an appointment. Their excuse for two weeks in a row was "emergencies". Something is wrong with their appointment system and needs to be analyzed and fixed. We could not wait another 45 minutes and neither could others who said they had been waiting a long time and could wait no longer. We had to walk out because we nor others could not wait any longer. Unfortunately we will be changing Vets to someone who can manage their appointments better.

This place is extremely expensive, and I did not feel that the staff truly cared about my pet…read more On Friday, July 3, I brought my very sick kitty in for a scheduled appointment. Because his condition had worsened, I called and asked if I could come in earlier. The staff told me to arrive at 9:30 a.m. and said the doctor would be there shortly. Unfortunately, the veterinarian didn't arrive until around 10:30 a.m. During that time, my kitty was in obvious pain and was extremely cold. Once the doctor saw him, a staff member came in to discuss the treatment plan and estimated costs, which totaled over $2,000. I agreed without hesitation because I wanted to do everything possible to save my kitty. He was hospitalized for the day since the hospital would be closed on July 4. While I was paying the bill, I was told I would receive an update on my kitty within 10-20 minutes. Two hours passed with no call, so I called the hospital. I was placed on hold for 40 minutes. I called again later and was put on hold once more. After another 30 minutes, a staff member told me the veterinary technician caring for my kitty was very busy but would call me back within five minutes. That call never came. Around 8:00 p.m., I finally received a call telling me to come pick him up and that they would go over his test results and treatment plan. When I arrived, my kitty didn't look any better than when I had dropped him off. I was sent home with prescribed medications, which cost an additional $300. Tragically, my kitty passed away the very next day. I called the hospital to let them know he had passed and asked if I could return the unused medication for a refund. The manager I spoke with showed very little compassion. She simply told me that because the medication had been opened, they could not take it back and suggested I donate it to a shelter. I understand that not every pet can be saved, and I know medicine has its limits. What was most upsetting was the lack of communication, the long delays, and the lack of empathy during such a heartbreaking time. Throughout the day, I struggled just to get a simple update on my pet after being promised one. When I picked him up, I also noticed he had multiple needle pokes, and it broke my heart to see him like that. I understand that hospitalized animals often require IVs and blood draws, but seeing so many puncture sites made me wonder how difficult his experience had been. I spent nearly $3,000 because I believed my kitty would receive attentive, compassionate care. Instead, he passed away the following day, and I was left feeling unsupported during one of the most difficult experiences I've ever had. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this hospital.

We had a great experience at All Creatures Emergency Veterinary Hospital. Our dog was having severe…read morediarrhea and vomiting so we brought her in on a Sunday around 11pm When you arrive, you wait in your car and call them to let them know you're there. A staff member comes out with a form for you to fill out & then you wait in your car until they're ready to see your pet. The process was organized and it didn't take nearly as long as we expected. We were finished and heading home by around 1:30am! Our vet tech Bri & the veterinarian, Dr. Renee Case were both incredibly kind, knowledgeable & compassionate. They took great care of our dog, thoroughly explained everything and sent us home with medication to help her recover. If you ever need an emergency vet, I would definitely recommend All Creatures. They provided excellent care and we also found their pricing to be very reasonable especially for an after-hours emergency visit. I also love that they don't try to sell you on additional items as well. Here are some costs we paid: Exam fee: $150 Full blood work panel: $270 SNAP test: $80 SQ fluids: 82.60 Metronidazole liquid to take home: $58.02 Cerenia Injection: $54.62

It was after hours and my vet was going to be closed the following day but I had grown increasingly…read moreconcerned that my dog had a UTI. I did not want her in pain so I called All Creatures Emergency Vet and was told I didn't need an appointment, to just show up when I could. It was a 35 minute drive and when I arrived, the door was locked. I knocked but didn't see anyone. After a few minutes, another woman walked up and said "They do this. You gotta bang." She knocked on the door repeatedly until someone came outside. It took a few more minutes. We were put in a room immediately and proceeded to wait about an hour to be seen by the vet tech. To be fair, a dog that had been hit by car came in after we were in the room. From what we heard it was already deceased. Then, a woman brought in a her friend's dog she was supposed to be caring for and told the staff she wasn't sure if it was breathing. Based on what they said, that dog was also deceased. The vet tech was not very personable and she took our dogs temperature rectally but with zero skill and after what seemed like 5 minutes, was finally done. It was not a good experience. After we spoke to the tech, we asked for water for our dog, which was brought and waited another 15 min or so for the vet. Dr. Case took a look at our dog and I explained I was concerned about a UTI and gave her history of bladder stone removal and kidney issues. I also asked her to look at a bump on my dogs leg, since we were already there and at my dogs advanced age I am always worried about her cancer returning. The estimate for X-rays for that was well over $400 so I said I would have my regular vet do it on my next visit the following week. Without the x-rays for the bump, the estimate was $520 for the emergency exam, urinalysis, and medication if needed. We agreed and the vet tech came back in (I thought to get our dog for tests) and told us that we would need to pay up front before they would start the process. I have never experienced that before but we gave her a credit card to charge. Once she did that, she returned and took our dog back to extract urine. I went to the restroom shortly thereafter and there was a man at the desk with his dog. The same vet tech was giving him an estimate and, right in front of me said, "Don't worry, you can wait to pay until everything is done." Look, I get that this is Stockton and although I was surprised by the pay first attitude, I can't say I didn't understand. Every business has the right to decide if they want people to prepay or pay after, but to pick and chose with seemingly no reason or standard is totally unprofessional. Also, just a note, but if you read through most of the reviews, as I had time to do during my long wait, you will see that most of the 5 stars are from people whose animals were euthanized here and most of the 1 stars are from people who brought in their sick animals looking for help. Our dog was brought back promptly and we waited another hour before the vet returned. She said there was bacteria in my dogs urine and they gave us antibiotics but they did not have the correct dosage for my small dog so they gave me large pills (with no break line) and said to cut them in half myself and give them to my dog. Of course I was concerned that when I broke the pills, small pieces would scatter and she would not be getting the full dose which obviously happened. After the first few days we noticed that our dog was getting no relief from the antibiotics and scheduled the first available appointment with our regular vet. When she completed the full course, I emailed All Creatures Emergency Vet to confirm that they had found bacteria and ask if they tested to ensure they gave the correct antibiotics because it had not helped. It took them 3 days to respond. The response was that I should get a "urinalysis with culture and sensitivity sent to the laboratory...Or maybe there is no infection and she has cystitis." We saw our regular vet and she is now doing much better after weeks of being uncomfortable. Long story short: We spent 3 hours and over $500 for our dog not to feel better.
