This review is to truly convey my gratitude and absolute awe at how Dr. Pitt handled my dog. I have a German Shepherd who is reactive and extremely protective. His backstory doesn't matter here - what matters is that he's like my child. For years, I took him to a veterinarian who would cancel his appointments over the slightest growl. She insisted I sedate him heavily the night before and the morning of each visit so much so that he could barely walk. I used to fear that all those sedatives would make him stop breathing. The experience left me anxious and desperate to find someone who actually understood dogs, not just small, easygoing ones, but dogs like mine. Then I was referred to Dr. Pitt. To call him the Cesar Millan of veterinarians wouldn't do him justice. From the moment he and his vet tech walked in, they exuded confidence - completely unshaken by my dog's growls or his typical tough-guy act. They weren't intimidated. They didn't waste time. The funny thing was that when my dog realized his usual bravado wouldn't shake them, he stopped the drama. And I have to mention Dr. Pitt's vet tech - who, at maybe 5'3" walked in without a hint of fear. I'll admit, when I saw her, I thought, Uh-oh, she's tiny...But I couldn't have been more wrong. She was the Robin to Dr. Pitt's Batman -- right in the action, no hesitation, Honestly, they should have been wearing capes. I was very pleased with his efficiency as well. My dog had a tumor on his chest, and instead of making us wait for another appointment, he handled the surgery the same day. At first, I was a little unsure, but a friend pointed out how perfect it was - no extra stress from another visit. I think I would have stressed more than my dog if we had to wait. When I picked up my dog, he sat down with me and took the time to talk to me even though I told the front office staff I didn't want to hold him up because I know how busy his office is. I've also brought my younger German Shepherd, Gunnar, to him, and his care has been just as incredible. But it was my 10-year-old reactive boy, Ryz, who had me worried. My advice to anyone with a large or reactive dog is simple: this is your vet. They have a back entrance where reactive dogs can enter through. They cleared the hallways. It was just the best experience I have had in the 20+ years that I have had dogs. Thank you, Dr. Pitt and your amazing staff.

Been going here since Oliver was young and now he's 9! So far he's gone under 2 surgeries here and gone under one time for teeth cleaning + extractions; all have been very successful. I love the caring staff and medical professionals here. Don't be hesitant to stop by and get your pet the care they need. Their working hours make it easier for us working folks to work around. Pricing is also reasonable, if you go to other places, it's always double or even triple the price you pay here. Thank you Mid Valley for taking good care of my boy. We are incredibly grateful for the hard work and dedication.

Communication and care with the pet parent. No rushing. Explain the situation. Owners are typically stressed when bringing the pets.

I was surprised I hadn't written a review but here you go:…read more If you're looking for a vet who genuinely cares more about your pet than your wallet, this is the place. I've been bringing my 19-year-old pup here for the last 6 years, and I honestly can't imagine trusting anyone else. Having a senior dog comes with its fair share of challenges, but every time we walk through those doors, Dr. Oh gives me peace of mind. Somehow I always leave thinking, "Okay...my old man is going to be okay." My pup has struggled with seizures for the last three years, and instead of immediately pushing expensive treatments, Dr. Oh recommended natural supplements that have made a huge difference. We went from about two seizures a week to only every several months! Now that my sweet old guy is dealing with doggy dementia, Dr. Oh has continued to be amazing--recommending affordable supplements, giving practical tips to keep him safe at home, and helping me make the best decisions for his quality of life. One thing I appreciate the most? No nickel-and-diming. I never feel pressured into unnecessary tests or treatments. If something isn't needed, he'll tell you. That kind of honesty is hard to find these days, and it means everything when you're caring for a senior pet. The clinic is always clean, and the staff is kind, patient, and genuinely attentive. They make every visit as stress-free as possible. Located on Sherman Way & Van Nuys Blvd, inside the shopping center with Pablo's, Dunkin', and Otto Sushi, with a large parking lot so finding a space is easy. Thank you, Dr. Oh and the entire Van Nuys Pet Clinic team, for helping my old guy enjoy his golden years. You have cared for him like family, and I'll always be grateful.

I want to start by saying that I am not the type of person who normally leaves negative reviews,…read moreespecially after being a longtime customer, but my experience today was unacceptable. I have been bringing my pets to this doctor for years, and the only reason I stayed this long was because of him. He is excellent with animals, extremely knowledgeable, well educated, and I have always trusted his care and judgment. Unfortunately, the front office staff has consistently been a problem. Over the years, I have had multiple unpleasant experiences with the receptionists, but I continued coming back because I respected and trusted the doctor. Today was the final straw. The receptionist helping me today, ("Lex") , was extremely rude and unprofessional. There was a miscommunication regarding my bill, and instead of handling the situation calmly and respectfully, she became loud in front of other customers. After I spoke directly with the doctor, he waived the fee because it had not been clearly explained to me beforehand. Lex clearly did not like that decision and made her attitude very obvious. Another thing that bothered me was when I asked her to explain the medication instructions to me. Her first response was, "It's on the label," which I found very dismissive. She did eventually explain it to me, but I should not have had to feel like I was bothering someone simply for asking a question about medication for my pet. It is very disappointing that such a great doctor has a front office that repeatedly makes patients feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. I overlooked the reception staff for years because I valued the doctor so much, but after today, I will not be returning. The doctor deserves five stars for his knowledge and care, but unfortunately the repeated lack of professionalism from the reception staff has completely ruined my experience with this office.

The prices were always fair-- almost cheap, honestly. Everyone we ever dealt with has been wonderful. They've tried to always accommodate my dog when we needed an unexpected last-minute appointment-- which was kind of a lot because she had a few health issues over the years. They were always so nice and loved on her even though she was a bit of a bad girl. When we had to put my dog down very unexpectedly, they tried very hard to save her. But also, they were honest about no heroics. I mean, they really could've gotten a lot of money out of me to save her, but Dr Moon was honest that it was time to let her go. Over the last nine years, they were all just so good and sweet to her. To be honest, even driving by there, I kind of want to cry even though it's been a few months. But I will always be appreciative to everyone there for being so good to my dog.

I used to highly recommend this place, but unfortunately something has changed…read more I've been bringing my dog here for years and was always happy with the service. My most recent experience, however, was extremely disappointing. I was about 15 minutes late to my appointment and was told they wanted to cancel it because of the delay. The problem is that when the appointment was scheduled, I was never told that being 15 minutes late could result in cancellation. What makes this even more frustrating is that almost every time I've come here, I've personally had to wait 30-45 minutes past my scheduled appointment time. The bigger issue was the pricing. When I scheduled the appointment two weeks in advance, I was told that because my dog is now 10 years old, a veterinarian examination was required. I was quoted $75 for the exam, plus approximately $60-$70 for the vaccines and anal gland expression. We discussed the pricing over the phone, so I arrived expecting that approximate total. Instead, I was given a bill of approximately $230 for the exam, vaccines, and anal gland expression. In previous years, I had paid around $63 for the same routine services. When I questioned the significant price difference, I was given explanations about increased costs and expenses. I completely understand that prices can increase, but the customer should be informed of the actual price before the appointment, especially when I specifically called two weeks in advance to ask about the cost. What happened next was even more disappointing. I decided to move my dog to another veterinarian and asked for her medical records. Instead of simply helping me with the transfer, I was questioned and accused of potentially altering the records using AI. I was honestly shocked by that accusation. After being a loyal customer for years, this experience completely changed my opinion of the practice. I'm not upset that prices can increase. I'm upset about the lack of transparency, the inconsistent communication, and the way I was treated when I questioned the charges and requested my dog's records. I'm now looking for a new veterinarian where I can feel that transparency, honesty, and trust come before making a sale.

In particular, we will always be deeply grateful for everything they did for our beloved Rhett Butler over the past two years. When Rhett was diagnosed with kidney disease two years ago, Dr. Greg Sauer and the entire team went above and beyond to care for him, keep him comfortable, and give us more precious time together. They treated him with so much patience, compassion, and genuine love, and they never made us feel like just another patient or another appointment. They truly cared about Rhett and about our family. The techs and staff are caring, kind, attentive, and incredibly supportive. And Dr. Sauer is, without question, one of the most compassionate, patient, and kind veterinarians we have ever encountered. It is clear that he practices medicine for all the right reasons - because he genuinely loves animals and wants to help them and the people who love them. If you are looking for a veterinary team that treats your pets like family, we cannot recommend McClave Veterinary Hospital highly enough.

On December 1, 2025, my pup looked at me, and I knew it was time. Our family had called upon Dr…read more Gonzalez before, so there was no question in my mind who to call again. Unlike our previous experience where we were able to book ahead of time and plan for our pup's passing, this was a circumstance where our baby needed immediate services -- his body was failing. Once I saw our senior 13-yr old pup was telling me it was okay, I called Dr. Gonzalez at 7pm. She was at our home by 10pm. Our pup had been sick for several years, and in that last week, our primary vet had already told us his health was declining, so we at least knew the end was near. And I had already mentally prepared to be strong and let him go when he needed to -- so I had Dr. Gonzalez's number on hand. We live in an apartment building, so we reserved a spot for her in our lot as close as possible to an exit. She came upstairs to our home, and she had brought all her equipment. I had already imagined how I wanted this experience to go for my once in a lifetime soul pup. I sat on his favorite place on the sofa, and I had him in my lap. Dr. Gonzalez gave me a pee pad to wrap around him within the blanket understanding there could be an accident in the process as his body released his spirit. I had a candle lit. I had soft music playing. We had low lighting on to honor what was about to happen. Dr. Gonzalez was also super accommodating to our 2nd puppy who was curious about her and wondering what was happening to his big brother. She didn't shoo him away -- she invited us to keep the puppy around so he can know his big brother was about to pass on. She gave us time to speak to Nuxx, love on him, and then let him go. Then, it finally happened. And Dr. Gonzalez stepped out of our apartment for awhile, giving our little family time to grieve, sob, and hold our baby close. Our puppy sniffed him too and said his goodbyes. Then she came back, and she asked us if we wanted to be the ones to carry him out or she was happy to do so. My husband carried him, myself and our puppy followed along -- felt like a procession down our apartment hallway. We got to Dr. Gonzalez's car, and we gently placed our baby's body in her car, and said our goodbyes again. Then...it was done. Throughout the experience, Dr. Gonzalez was so incredibly supportive, gentle, understanding, and patient. What else can you ask for when such a heartbreaking thing is occurring? When a spirit is literally fading in your arms? I am still not over losing him, but at least I know we gave him the most peaceful send-off we could: in his own home, in our arms, surrounded by so much love. If / when we need to go through again, I will continue to call on Dr. Gonzalez. RIP Nuxx.
