BPC was wonderful about patiently answering all of our questions and kindly supporting us through the difficult decisions we had to make.

I have recommended her to other people and they appreciated her as well.

Making the decision to say goodbye to a beloved pet is heartbreaking, but being able to do it at home, where Ellie felt safe, comfortable, and surrounded by the people who loved her most, was such a gift. Dr. Martin was incredibly compassionate, patient, gentle, and respectful throughout the entire process. She never made us feel rushed and gave us all the time we needed to love on Ellie, say our goodbyes, and simply be with her. Dr. Martin explained everything with such kindness and made sure Ellie's final moments were peaceful and filled with dignity. As painful as that day was, there was something incredibly comforting about knowing Ellie was able to pass quietly in her own home, surrounded by love rather than fear or unfamiliar surroundings. We will forever be grateful to Dr. Martin for the compassion she showed not only to Ellie, but to our entire family. You never forget the person who helps you through a goodbye like this, and we will always remember the kindness she gave us during Ellie's final moments. Thank you, Dr. Martin, for helping our girl leave this world so peacefully and with so much love.

I was a little apprehensive about going here at first because of the reviews but decided to give it a shot because Dr. Rakow is just amazing. I've been 3 times now and have not experienced a single issue with front of house. I've spoken on the phone and in person with Maddie and she's been wonderful each time, answering my questions, chatting with me in a friendly tone and just overall being a good representation of customer service. Dr. Rakow continues to be an incredible vet and has taken excellent care of my little dog. The wait can pile up on you here, there are only 2 vets and they seem to be extremely busy. It's been close to or over an hour past my appointment time each visit when I'm finally seen but I understand things happen so I'm trying to be patient with it.

I wanted to let people know that they did follow up with me with a very heart felt apology and did want to let us know that they were correcting the issue that happened.

So I want to that them for the apology.

We thought she had hurt a hind leg and was just in pain. Doctors did X-rays and blood work. X-rays were good but the blood work showed an infection along with a fever. Docs put her on fluids for her dehydration and gave her IV antibiotics. After a couple of days in the hospital her fever was down and her blood work looked closer to normal, but she still wouldn't eat. We went out on Saturday night and spent about an hour with her trying to calm her and get her to eat. When we got there she had a petrified look and was scared to death. We were able to talk to her and pet her but still couldn't get her to eat. Doc said she might not eat there because she was so scared. We left her one more night for the fluids and antibiotic IV and a recheck of her blood work on Sunday morning. Temp was down and blood work was close to normal so we brought her home. After checking out the backyard and house she and our other cats all relaxed. She's eating and drinking like crazy now and just demanding attention. Everyone at VCA was great! From the receptionists to the technicians and doctors! Thank you for the wonderful care our little girl got! You all are fantastic!!

I called around 8:30 a.m. this morning to establish care for my two French Bulldogs and was told that they were accepting new patients but it would be a month out. The receptionist began collecting my information to create patient charts, discussed scheduling appointments for June, and was in the process of preparing the required $40 per pet appointment hold fee when the call was disconnected. When I called back later, a different receptionist informed me that the clinic was not accepting new patients and that I would not be able to establish care there. When I explained that another staff member had literally begun the intake process and was preparing to collect payment for appointments, I was simply told, "I don't know, but we're not taking new patients." The complete lack of communication and consistency was incredibly frustrating. Based on the glowing reviews, I expected a much more professional and organized experience. While I cannot speak to the quality of the veterinary care itself, the customer service and handling of front-office communication left a very poor first impression.

We called like 7 different places before finding All critters pet hospital. They couldn't get us in last night, they close at 5, but scheduled us for 8am. We arrived early & they opened at 8, we were 1st in the door. While the Vet checked out our girl, he was kind & engaged well with my son. They examined her, then gave us the estimate, prior to doing anything. Tbh, it was really expensive foot a 10 min exam. Once we decided the plan is care, we were only going to get meds & go home, about $400 but ended up being the xrays which cost an additional $400. When we were going to leave without the xray, they did say that is the pet needs to come back within 7 days, they don't charge for another exam fee, which is 99.

They charged me $99 per bunny just for an "evaluation" ($198 total) to 'discuss' the estimate/ cost for surgery. Then handed me an estimate of $1,477 per rabbit to neuter. That's nearly $3,000 for two standard male rabbit neuters. The facility looked dirty and unprofessional. Felt like a classic bait-and-switch once the animals were already there. Normal rabbit neuters in Bakersfield run $350-500 total, not $1,477 each. They said they had the earliest availability (other 2 vets were 3 and 4 weeks out), so I tried them expecting similar pricing as the other 2 small animal vets in town. This is predatory pricing on exotic pets. I paid the $198 out of karma, I should have just walked out of this scam. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. Stay far away from this place and go to a real vet, as this business seems to make their money off evals and poison vaccines, not procedures.
