I'm SO glad I found this place! Everyone was so sweet and patient with Charlie. Dr. D, Ashley, Sarah, and the entire staff were amazing. Dr. D took the time to sit with Charlie and make sure he felt comfortable, which I appreciated so much. I'd been wanting to switch vets for a while, and I'm so glad I found this one. Everyone was so kind, all of my questions were answered, and I felt so reassured the entire time. Thank you!! Attached is a photo of Charlie sleeping with the new toy they gave him read more

PAW Veterinary Center - Veterinarians Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

Aside from the beautiful facility, the team here has been accommodating and so lovely from start to finish! My lil lady, Wanda, was seen by Dr. D, Sarah, and Erika this week & I was over the moon with the standard of care. As someone who works in the veterinary field myself, I find it difficult to hand over my dog's care, but PAW has made it easy and stress free. We can't wait for Wanda's teeth to be fresh and clean next month. Thank you!! read more

PAW Veterinary Center - Wanda says TWO PAWS UP for PAW!! - Veterinarians Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

I'm a first time cat owner and this is my first time owning a pet as an adult. I was extremely nervous and desperately looking for a place to take my cat (Honey ) so I can deal with her worm situation as well as get an overall check up. I felt a little insecure before walking in as this was my first time going to a Vet. However, once I was checked in and taken to a room, all of my worries went away. The front desk staff are very nice, soft spoken, and patient. Not to mention how clean and nice the office itself looks. The doctor and vet tech (?) were extremely kind, compassionate, and patient! I felt very safe and welcomed. They answered my 1 million questions and made sure I felt comfortable before ending our appointment. As an RN, patient care, bedside manners, and clear communication are extremely valuable to me! They definitely executed that! I will 100% be coming back for future appointments ! read more

PAW veterinary center was my to go vet the last couple of years. i had a really pleasant first visit, the staff are all really nice and welcoming. everyone that has or had a pet knows how important it is to find a trustworthy vet, bc our furbabies do not have a voice. the drs and techs are the most knowledgeable as this is their field. anyways, march 3rd is when we went in for a same day appt, rocky was due for his wellness exam and vax. but he was in bc he had what seemed to be tummy issues and limping. we were seen by Dr. Kira Didkovskaya, she was very professional, patient and listened to all my concerns. i picked up a bottle of visbiome probiotics, rocky got his vax, a fecal test and we went home. i love that PAW has great communication via emails! they do great with follow ups and check ins. well a week went by and rocky still was not feeling better, he was actually doing worse. despite his tests coming back normal, he was acting out of character. made another appt a week later. since they were booked, i had to drop rocky off and in btw appts, they were going to do x-rays. rocky was seen by Dr. Michael Handley, who did rocky's initial exam at PAW. Dr. Michael Handley called me to go over his x-rays, i did not have a copy so i couldnt see what he was explaining. when i went to pick rocky up, i was hoping to meet with Dr. Michael Handley so we can go over the results. Dr. Michael Handley explained he had to get a second opinion on the x-rays and that is what took longer. well, it was inconclusive, he couldn't confirm whether it was his spine or his knees "Primary Recommendations: Correlate with orthopedic examination to assess for cranial drawer and consider orthopedic consultation for surgical and nonsurgical options to address the stifle instability and intra-articular injury" dr prescribed rimadyl and took him home 2 days later, rocky was back at the vet. he was seen by Dr. Michael Handley. "..based on nis symptoms and x-rays, we suspect he has intervertebral disc disease (IVDD), a condition where the cushioning discs between the vertebrae in the spine become damaged or inflamed, causine pain and potential nerve problems." "..If Rocky doesn't show improvement with these treatments, we may need to consider a referral to a veterinary neurologist for more advanced imaging (such as an MRI) and possible surgical options.." great. took him home with more meds..gabapentin made an appointment with a neurologist center for the next day (thursday) that is when that dr knew right away it was not rocky's knees or spine. that is when his prognosis was poor. i called PAW friday and let the front desk know that i was not coming to pick up the rest of the gabapentin that Dr. Michael Handley prescribed. i let them know that Dr. Michael Handley misdiagnosed Rocky and that I have to lay him to rest. i get a call from PAW, Liz Hix, who is not on the team's website, but she is the CEO of PAW as she holds the Veterinary Medical Board license .. she introduces herself as Liz Hix and she is calling bc she received a note that there was an upset call. i explained to her i am not upset, i am extremely sad as i found out that i have to put rocky down within the next few days as he has a brain tumor. the call was basically a CYA, she wanted to explain Dr. Michael Handley thought process and how and why he did what he did. i just listened to her. She added that in her 25 years of being in the business. she has only had 2 cases involving a brain tumor. (is that supposed to make me feel better?) She also asked if she can provide any euthanasia services, the answer is no. french bulldogs are a special breed, i understand that they are predisposed with a lot of health problems, a risk a pet parent takes. i will be doing my research on the drs at the next veterinary i take my future baby too... read more

Took my doghter (no spelling mistake :-) ) to Paw for an abdominal sonogram. Dr Bridget Harvey performed the Ultrasound. I looked at the report and it was one of the most detailed I have seen (as a physician I have seen many) Very grateful to have such a quality Veterinarian do it, and I was also happy that Sharpie did not have any tumors. Thanks to Paw vet and Dr Harvey. read more

Friendly staff and doctors, and nice modern facility. Dr. LaMoyne was especially warm and caring towards me and my dog, and made me feel at ease with having my dog under her care. My 12YO dog's mast cell tumor ruptured a day before her scheduled surgery to remove it, and Dr. LaMoyne was so amazing that she made room to squeeze my baby in for surgery that day. Surgery went well as did my dog's healing. That was in October 2025 and my senior dog is doing well now, and acting like a puppy again. I'm recommending everyone I know to try PAW Veterinary Center. read more

We just moved to the South Bay and wanted to find a vet that wasn't a corporate machine (VCA). This place is just that! Everyone is super nice and personal. Dr. D is kind and compassionate. The facility itself clean and there's free parking in the back. Would highly recommend! read more

PAW Veterinary Center - Veterinarians Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

Came here for my cats first appointment! A well ness check to be specific First off the atmosphere- modern, clean building! Plenty of parking behind the building for anyone using the clinic. I love the atmosphere and immediately as i walked in, i was greeted by front desk staff. I had Dr. LeMoyne and she was absolutely wonderful. Never have met a vet so caring and thorough. Overall 10/10 wonderful clinic and I'm excited to have them as my primary vet for my sweet cats Overall experience- this is the vet clinic i will be using going forward. I love the vet, staff, and clinic itself. read more

This has been one of the best Vets I have taken my dog to. They truly care about concerns and the animals. Extremely friendly staff and they are understanding. My dog has severe anxiety when it comes to the vet and they were nothing but patient with him. Definitely making this our new vet. read more

They are the best! The team answers all your questions and promptly returns calls if you leave a message. You truly feel that your puppy is in good, capable hands. I recently took my puppy, Nova, in for neutering and was very impressed with the care he received. I especially appreciated the pre-surgery blood work and the careful monitoring afterward. It gave me great peace of mind knowing he was healthy and safe to undergo anesthesia. The recovery suit they provided fit him perfectly, and with their guidance and attentive care at home, he healed beautifully. Don't let the price deter you. While cost is always something to consider, the level of care, professionalism, and peace of mind from start to finish made it absolutely worth it. The facility was also very clean and well maintained. read more

My friend referred me to PAWS so I took both my dogs for checkup and shots. The office is so very clean and organized. We were greeted with friendly ladies at the desk and we didn't even sit down before they had us in a room. Had no wait and Dr. Handley and his assistant came right in. He was so great with my dogs, and very knowledgeable, he will be our new vet! Also, a few bonuses were the comfy couches in the exam room and the fact that they offer you to pay in the exam room with a quick tap...instead of having to back out to waiting room with the dogs. 100% recommend PAWS!! read more

I needed to get my dog's health certificate to travel out of the country and the service given was impeccable. I will definitely recommend getting services done here! read more

Our dog had a second visit with Dr. Handley this week due to his fear of fireworks. Although there was a clinic emergency immediately prior to our visit, he never made us feel rushed. Dr. Hanley is kind, compassionate and takes the time to get to know your pet. If you are reading this review, please keep in mind that some dogs are deathly afraid of fireworks and some of our veterans may have PTSD due to the loud noises. Keep loud noises to a minimum. read more

PAW Veterinary Center - Our dog - Veterinarians Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

I brought my mini puppy in for her very first vet visit, and I couldn't be happier with how everything went at PAW Vet Center. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was calm, clean, and welcoming. The front desk staff greeted us with a smile and made the check-in process super smooth. The whole space is clearly designed with intention--it feels more like a wellness space than a typical vet office, which instantly put both me and Tala at ease. After check-in, we were greeted by the vet assistants, who were just as warm and attentive. They made an effort to help Tala feel comfortable, gently got to know her, and were incredibly patient. Their kindness really set the tone for the rest of the visit. Then we met with Dr. D, who took the time to walk me through everything--from puppy health and behavior to upcoming vaccinations and nutrition. She answered all my questions without ever making it feel rushed. It was clear she genuinely cares and wants to be a partner in Tala's health, not just a provider. What I also appreciated was how well the whole team worked together. Everything felt organized, professional, and genuinely caring. I left feeling confident, supported, and really grateful to have found a vet clinic that treats animals--and their people--with this much respect and compassion. If you're looking for a veterinary team that combines expertise with heart, I highly recommend PAW Vet Center. Tala and I are both fans--and we'll definitely be back. read more

I took my dog here today. I made the appointment online late last night. This was one of the few offices that 1. I was able to make an appt online and 2. Had an appt for the next day. I went in and was greeted immediately by a woman at the front desk and felt welcomed. I was taken back to my room within 10 minutes. The vet came in and explained everything thoroughly. I felt like my dog was in good hands. He was patient with me and all the questions I had. After the visit they sent me an email that walked me through the medications; what the medication was for, how to use it, side effects, everything. Later on this evening I received another email that summarized the whole office visit. The summary broke down all the questions I had, what i should look for, what next steps I should take, etc. This will be my go-to veterinary office from now on. If you're looking for a vet to take your dog to, this is it. read more

Update: Everything that's in my review is 100% factual and will not be removed. I received a call from one of their supervisors that used hateful language and threats to try to intimidate me to take this review down. She wanted to give me a "heads up before she called me a liar in her response to my review". Yikes. You can see for yourself in the response: she confirmed other patients were seen (although there appointments were after mine) and I've already acknowledged I was late and proactively informed the office of this. The "apology" and explanation only came as a result of this review... We recently relocated and needed to establish care with a new vet. Prior to the appointment all of our interactions were great, super helpful and answering questions, making sure we got records transferred, etc. Now the day of the appointment we were running late so I notified the office and they confirmed it was not an issue. However, once we arrived we sat in the exam room for over an hour and NEVER saw the doctor. Eventually, I went back to the receptionist desk and asked if we should reschedule... not sure why this wasn't offered proactively. But we were not provided with any sort of apology or explanation - just the option to keep waiting or reschedule for another time. While speaking with the receptionist, I observed several people being called back for their appointments with the doctor like normal... seems very discriminatory. Definitely do not recommend and will not be back. read more

Went here for the first time as our little girl had an issue that warranted antibiotics. I really liked the facility, easy parking and super friendly staff. They took a genuine interest in our fur kid and the doctor and tech were professional and informative. We'll be going again next time we are due for a vet visit. read more

PAW Veterinary Center - Fur baby waiting for her doctor. - Veterinarians Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

I love this place. They are super super thorough, they don't rush you out and there is both a doctor and vet tech in the room with you and your pet at all times. To see the doctor is $95 which is not much more or the same as less upscale places I've been and it's so worth it. They've got coffee and people snacks as well as pet snacks in the waiting room and you get to stay with your baby for most of the visit. I've worked with dr lemoyne and Dr handley and they've been very supportive and thorough. Dr H usually proactively sends notes after the visit. Easy scheduling via email. The portal hasn't really worked for me but email has been wonderful w quick turnaround time and availability. read more

HIGHLY recommend Paw! I wish I could give them More than 5 stars (& my cats would agree)! PAW is an excellent facility with amazing vets and staff. It truly feels like an upscale family clinic from the minute you enter. The receptionists are always warm and kind & greet us by our cats names :) we also appreciate that they designate specific rooms just for cats. the clinic rooms are very clean, warm & welcoming (and doesnt smell like dog). There's usually calming music softly playing in the background. This ambience & honestly the 'cats only' rooms allow my babies to comfortable & explore, instead of their usual behavior of scared and huddled in a corner. We'd also like to give a special shout out to our vet, Dr. LaMoyne. She is an exceptional, compassionate doctor who always cares for all our furry children with such love & respect. She was the one who diagnosed our cat, Starbuck, with heart disease & had their cardiologist quickly evaluate him. Starbuck is now happy with improved condition after he was started on heart medication. And lastly, we really appreciated her guidance & advice through the care of our geriatric cat with dementia, Helo. We recently had to say goodbye to him. It was a difficult experience but it was made all the more easier with Dr. LaMoyne. Thank you. We completely trust PAW & recommend everyone to entrust your family members to their staff as well. read more

I was not going to review this business but they just sent me an email wishing my dog a happy birthday who passed away. Long story. I came to them for a second opinion regarding my 3 yo doodle who was diagnosed with IVDD. They told me it had turned into arthritis so I need to give him this shot. I did and within 24 hours he developed weakness, and ITP and required a 4 day hospitalization. He never regained function and tragically passed away 3 months ago. I was devastated. I had not followed up again because I was only seeing specialists so was caught off guard that they send me a happy birthday email. It's pretty insensitive and I don't think they should be sending these out for a one off appointment I did once. I'm sure I'm on some email list but still. I talked to the owner after the initial visit who explained it was really a freak thing he developed this which I understand. They did give me my money back for the appointment but definitely didn't help me with his 15,000 hospital bill. I was gonna let it go til I got this email. Dirt in the wound. read more

We've been going to Dr. LaMoyne for two years now and I couldn't recommend a vet more. She is so great at reading my very anxious dog's body language and is great at learning her limits. She and the assistants always take the best care of our dog and are very diligent in their exams and make sure they address any questions we have. read more

My dog is a covid dog who doesn't do good with strangers but she did so well. Before you see the vet you sit down with a technician who ask questions gets to know your dog and listen to your concerns. Before anything is done to your pet you are given a break down to decide if you want to move toward. No surprise bill! Everyone was very friendly and nice. read more

I want to thank Dr. D and everyone at Paw for how loving and amazing they were to my dog, Cookie. I brought him in as initially an urgent care situation. Within 24 hours Dr. D alerted us he was in kidney failure and not only provided the hospital to take him to but called ahead of time to make sure we wouldn't have to wait in the waiting room and they would take him right away. From the very beginning Dr. D was so compassionate and knowledgeable and you can just tell how much she cares about what she does. Unfortunately after about a month my sweet boy had to be put down- at no fault of Paw. Dr. D was the one who assisted in the euthanasia and I couldn't have asked for a better vet. I even received a card in the mail a couple days later with my dogs paw prints in the card. So thoughtful and while I'm super broken hearted i feel better that in his last moments he was not stressed and left in a very peaceful way. My only regret is I wish I would have discovered Paw sooner and my boy may still have been here. If I ever have a pet again I will only be going to Paw for all my pets services. Thank you everyone for all that you do! read more

Highly recommend this place. Love the fact that you can make an appointment online, their app is also super convenient. Really appreciate the fact that they check in to check on your dog progress. Lab results were in the following day, and Dr. Sarah reached out to talk to us about the results and answered all of our concerns. Staff members even took the time to teach us how to properly inject insulin on our husky. Everyone is super helpful and friendly. read more

I have nothing but good things to say about PAW! Dr. LaMoyne is very patient, kind and truly listens to your concerns. I've been very fortunate to get my cat seen in a timely manner and not weeks down the line. Everyone I've encountered here from the technicians to the receptionists have been very kind. Thank you! read more

My cat had developed an abscess this week. We initially believed it may have been an insect bite and were treating it at home. As a couple of days went by we noticed she itched it so much she yanked her hair out. We then realized it likely is a cat bite abscess. We were in a panic this morning, as we noticed her eating but with visible discomfort & pain. On the way to the vet the abscess burst. I was a little panicked and unsure if anyone would be able to provide immediate help. Sometimes you can't really plan ahead for emergencies. This office definitely understands. The second I walked into this office, I was greeted with kindness and assured that something could be done to help me, even though this was my first time here and I was a walk in. I'm so grateful for their time and attention and am happy I found my new permanent office. Your front staff is amazing! The office is nice, clean, and welcoming. I'd recommend this office to everyone. Thank you for helping my cat. read more

I wanted to share my recent experience with Paw Vet Center. My Lulu developed a UTI, and when I couldn't get an appointment with her usual vet, Paw Vet Center was incredibly accommodating and got us in quickly. The vets and techs there are amazing! I'm actually switching from the Family Pet Clinic of Redondo because, ever since Dr. Daffner passed, it hasn't been the same. I'm so happy that Lulu likes her new vet clinic. I highly recommend Paw Vet Center for their excellent care and super clean facilities. read more

Can't say enough positive things about this place. They took us in when nobody else would, as our beloved pet was on her last day and needed to be put down. They made a terrible day just a little bit better with how well they treated us -- with compassion, patience and dedication. read more

We adopted our rescue, Montague, back in November. After experiencing our previous pup pass away from a heart condition and recently moving to Redondo Beach we were on the hunt for a top notch vet for our new dog. The first vet we looked into could not take on new clients but recommended PAW Veterinary Center for us. Dr. D and her staff are truly wonderful. They have accommodated everything we needed. Poor Monty has a really bad case of separation anxiety (he was previously adopted and given back to the rescue) we tried everything to help him and Dr. D worked with us to put him on anti-anxiety meds. Thankfully we only use as needed and he is doing much better now. He also LOVES spending time at the vet (not something we are used to). Highly recommend them! read more

Everyone is very nice and informative. They went over each service and pricing. The doctor spent time with my puppy, answered all of my questions, and gave her recommendations. Everyone showed lots of care toward him. read more

Our cat got tapeworm and since this is almost holiday , we couldn't get her on time with our current vet ,VCA. Fortunately I was able to see Dr.Lamoyne today and really really impressed with the PAW team how they are able to handle my super super aggressive cat in such a short time . VCA couldn't handle my cat like the way how PAW veterinary place at all. I was so impressed that I decided to switch from VCA to PAW veterinary centers immediately! read more

I've been a cat owner for 30 years and I've never been to a vet office this immaculately clean and modern with soothing music for my anxious babies and an assortment of snacks for waiting pet parents. It smelled so good you would never even know you were in a vet office. The staff and doctor were pleasant and patient with my cats, who took a liking to the dr almost immediately. he took his time to answer every question I had without making me feel rushed in the least. He was honest and did not push me to have extra services done unnecessarily. the last time I took one of my cats to a VCA clinic, they charged me $1000 for the most basic well visit (and that was after they over shot their estimate by $400 and I refused to pay $1400). Today, both my cats were examined, had full blood/urine/fecal workups, got 3 updated vaccines, a supplement to take home to keep their teeth healthy, and one of them got microchipped. Not only were they fast, but the total cost was $1300 which is more than fair to process the lab work and do their jobs effectively. Parking was a breeze, which is rare in LA and their instructions to prepare for my first visit or clear and thorough. I'm so grateful to have found such a caring and honest vet group! read more

I was looking for a vet that is privately owned and not VCA, and stumbled across this one. One of my favorite aspects of it is the comfort of the exam rooms-- nice chairs for the humans, they brought in a soft mat for the dog, and lots of space. The people are kind and warm, the place is clean and feels private, the waiting room is comfortable. And it's a woman owned business, so girl power! read more

My poor baby girls belly was super swollen. I called her regular vet and they were too busy to see her. My daughter s friend recommended Paw Veterinary so I called them and they didn't hesitate to say yes bring her in...not only was it a Friday but it was 44 minutes before closing time.... I know what you're thinking..."I was blessed to find this place" the place was so clean, it didn't smell and the staff and doctor were super nice and patient! read more

To us, (my husband and I) this is the best place for our dog. Not only because they've saved us a couple of times but also because they are so nice to us, and they've taken care of our little Puppy with so much care and love. Thanks to Erin for always being so attentive and of course, our lovely Dr. Sara LaMoyne. You guys make us feel that we made the best decision to choose you read more

I brought my Sphynx here when I first got her. Prior to making the appointment I asked if the vet is very knowledgeable of this cat breed. They insisted she was. The vet and staff are very nice and the place is beautiful and clean. Now here why the two stars: My vet treated my cat as your common furred cat. Saying things that had nothing to do with her breed. She also said my cat had heart and kidney issues and needed to see two specialist that was going to cost me close to $2000. She wanted to test for every little thing. I felt like they were trying to upsell me. The visit costed me $700. She prescribed two kinds of dry food that was very expensive and of course they sold it there. I went to two very affordable clinics including one that specializes in cats for a second and third opinion. Guess what? My cat has no issues! Both clinics said the exact same thing. She didn't need that special diet either. This place ripped me off and tried to get way more out of me. read more

Dr LaMoyne is the best. Brought my husky here after having taken him to several other places that charge us an arm and a leg and didn't help him at all, Dr LaMoyne saw him once and identified the problem right away without costing us a fortune. They really care about the animals here and it shows. read more

This place is truly amazing! From the moment I inquired through the website Erika reached out and made it so convenient to get my fur babies scheduled. She also went out of her way to answer any questions/concerns I had, which I truly appreciated! Moving on to the day of our appt and meeting Dr. Michael Handley: all I have to say is he is undeniably one of a kind! He is the kind of Dr you look for everywhere but can never find. Dr. Handley treated my fur babies as if they were his own! He explained everything in full detail and as he sat on the ground playing with my babies, I couldn't help to think "I wish I had my phone to snap some photos!" it felt as though we had known him forever! Oh, and it gets even better! The PAW Team is so great at what they do, that vaccinations can be done in private or right in front of you. I am truly excited to say we have found a new home with Paw Veterinary Center! read more

We have been with another vet but had trouble getting in when we needed to. Our dogs got fleas this week and needed to get in asap. I was able to sign up online, register all the dogs, and set up an appointment for a Saturday. They got all our records transferred over from the previous vet. I was able to bring all 3 in at once. Walking in, the building is just beautiful. The room we waited in was the nicest exam room I've been in. The staff were beyond amazing, they offered us coffee/water. They had a little treat for each of the dogs, and brought in water bowls for them and made sure they were not stressed. They examined the dogs be going to them instead of forcing them up on a table, and really took their time with each one. They treated us and the dogs like family, spent time with us and loved on the dogs. I cannot recommend PAW Veterinary Center enough! read more
