They recommended the ER in Modesto but I didn't want to take and leave my dog in Modesto. For 4 days, my dog was on IV fluids from 8-6, Friday thru Monday. I got to meet with all 3 vets and a number of techs and all the staff. Monday - The news isn't great we are heading to Standiford Vet Center for ultrasound of his belly in hopes to find out what is going on with his liver/pancreas. Today Tuesday the ultrasound was not good - Liver Cancer has taken over my sweet boy who was only 5 years old. I chose to set my pup free of pain. It's been a terrible week but the staff at these vet hospitals come highly recommended as they all stepped up to do whatever they could under very difficult circumstances. I know how I felt but for them... they too see you and your pet at our worst. Be kind to yourself and those who are there to help. Money wise close to $4k but was worth every penny to save him. Unfortunately knowing that he had cancer and was down a road of no return. I chose to set him free of no pain and let my sweet boy rest in peace. Thank You all

I rushed to Companion 30 minutes before closing very panicked and without an appointment. The staff was very nice and polite. They calmed me down and accommodated me right there. Dr. Simran informed me after running a test that it was a viral disease called parvovirus and if we did not do treatment that there was a very good chance that my dog would not make it through the night. I agreed to do treatment and after treatment I saw an immediate change in her behavior and health. 10/10 would definitely recommend to bring your pets here!! Huge thank you to Dr. Simran and her staff for saving my pet and being so kind to us as well as staying even after closing to make sure my pet was in good health before we went home.

I have 2 VERY WELL cared for dogs that I brought here for dental cleanings. The price kept changing and of course going up. One of my dogs developed a severe hacking issue the next day...mind you he's had annual cleanings for years with ZERO issue. When I called them to express concern, they lied about being busy and tried other tactics to avoid me bringing him back. I of course insisted and instead of standing behind their work the doctor had the AUDACITY to want to charge me $840, in addition to the several thousand I'd paid the day before, to figure out how her clinic injured my dog!! I cannot imagine how a doctor can lack so much integrity?? And if this is her customer facing interaction...I seriously question how they are treating the animals! I have delt with numerous Vets over the years and have never left a bad review, but this place is plain AWFUL!! I will be filing a BBB complaint as well.

I am writing this review to express my sincere appreciation for the entire staff at Northgate…read moreVeterinary Hospital. I have been bringing my personal dogs, as well as the many rescue dogs I have fostered over the years, to Northgate for over 25 years. First, I want to address the negativity I see in reviews. Take a minute to think about what the staff here deals with! Incredibly difficult, high-stress situations daily (which I have contributed to on occassion - sorry) from delivering a devastating diagnosis to assisting a family saying a final goodbye to a beloved pet. It's not always puppies and kittens! They are focused on providing the best possible care, not winning a popularity contest. It takes immense grace and emotional stamina to do what they do, and I ask everyone to consider that before posting an unkind comment. You never know what they are going thru on any given day! Give them some grace and think about it before posting! The reason I have remained a loyal client for over two decades is simple: the Northgate veterinarians truly listen to their clients. I experienced a life-and-death situation with one of my dogs several years ago after visiting a different clinic. I repeatedly asked the vet for an ultrasound due to my Malinois's enlarged stomach, (it just looked odd) but I was told an X-ray would suffice. (I did not know at the time that an xray will not show a tumor - I listened to the vet) I was told nothing was there and that he was just over weight. I should have listened to my gut. Two months later, he became lethargic; I finally got the ultrasound I had asked for which revealed a tumor on his spleen had burst (Hemangiosarcoma), and I had to say goodbye and was devestated - he was only 6.. Had the ultrasound been performed earlier, perhaps it may have been caught in time and he would still be here with me. At Northgate, when I raise a serious concern or request a specific procedure, the doctors always take the time to talk through it with me and calm my craziness. They are never dismissive and always address my concerns with genuine care. I am not the easiest to deal with when it comes to my dogs. I am incredibly grateful for the dedication of Dr. Enz and Dr. Fitzpatrick, and I have heard wonderful things about Dr. Johnston as well. Every single staff member at Northgate is amazing, and I am grateful for the exceptional care they provide to my pets.

Our regular vet was double booked for the week and we needed an appointment so they referred us…read morehere. The woman who answered the phone didn't have amazing customer service but I was able to make a appointment and I trust my regular vet. The receptionist offered me 10:15 for the following day, which I wrote down and then at the end of the call confirmed 10:15. Later in the afternoon I received a text that I had an appointment at 10 am on the following day. 15 minutes may not seem like a big deal, but for someone like me who respects people's time, especially my own, it was frustrating. I left extra early because I did have some concerns and we arrived around 9:45 a.m. The parking lot was empty so we walked out dog around to let her potty before going in. The lobby is good sized with a decent amount of seating and there is a restroom for use. Check in and new patient registration was simple and we were seen within a reasonable time. I got the same feeling from the vet as I did from the receptionist, which wasn't great. There was no introduction or explanation. I only know what his name is now because it is listed on the receipt they emailed me. He checked her ears and mouth and immediately said she needed a dental cleaning. I explained she has them annually at our regular dentist and he stated "sometimes they need them more often". They have fliers for their dental cleanings on the wall and it just sort of felt like an immediate sales pitch, which I didn't like. Then, he grabbed her and turned her over without advising he was going to that, which made both my dog and I a bit uncomfortable and I ended up holding her so she would be calm. He offered to run tests but I explained again the two things we needed and he said he would give me a quote anyway and left the room. When the Veterinarian's Assistant came in, I had her remove the testing from the estimate and ok'd the things we did need. I am going to share the cost with you because I think it's helpful. We were charged: $59 for the exam, $35 for Bordetella, $98 for Cytopoint, and $12 for a medical waste fee. Our bill came to $204, however my credit card was charged $206.04. I was advised when I went to pay that there would be a 1% charge to use my credit card. I did not see a sign but the staff did tell me when I gave them my card just before I paid. I was fine with that and understand this is a common practice but again, with my time and money I am a meticulous person. I am always early and I save all receipts and log every transaction I make. I noticed later my receipt said $204 but my card was charged $$206.04. I contacted their office and asked for an updated receipt reflecting the charge and they replied "The credit card terminal charges 1% of the transaction amount." California law requires that the receipt accurately reflect the amount charged. If the surcharge isn't itemized, then the receipt is misleading and it looks like you were overcharged compared to the paperwork you were given. By law, businesses must give customers a truthful record of the transaction. Also, for comparison, our vet charges $44 for an office visit, $77 for Cytopoint and $1 for the Environmental Disposal Fee so their prices were definitely higher overall than what I typically pay. Ultimately my dog got what I brought her for but I do not know if I would choose to come to this office again.

I am so pleased with my experience at The Pet Advocate! I…read morebooked a dental cleaning for my dog, Zero, and needed to reschedule it a couple of times, but the office staff was very understanding and flexible. Once I finally was able to commit to a date, the correspondence I received from TPA was clear and helpful. I was told when to begin restricting food/water, what time to arrive, and the details of the check-in process. As directed, I arrived by 8am and notified office staff. I was quickly greeted by the vet tech, Jill, who was absolutely the best. Jill was warm, patient, and knowledgeable. She let me see where the procedure would be preformed and where Zero would be held, and explained when/why she would call (if blood work was concerning, if it wasn't safe to sedate, if they had suggested extractions). Despite being nervous, Jill definitely helped me feel better about leaving my boy in her care. Since his bloodwork was fine, the next time I heard from Jill was when she called to share suggested extractions. She briefly reviewed the dentition of a dog, explained where there were areas of concern in Zero's mouth, and was able to give me monetary figures when asked. She took time to consider my follow-up questions and I felt the interaction was professional while being empathetic and frank. At no time did I feel that she was trying to upsell me or otherwise get more money out of me. When I picked Zero up, Jill came out holding him. She sat with me and reviewed his bloodwork line by line, his X-rays, and showed me before and after pictures of his teeth. She also provided me with clearly labeled medications. We talked about food and general aftercare, including what I might observe, and I felt comfortable about heading home. We are now at the tail end of recovery and Zero has done fantastic, and I truly attribute a lot of that to Jill & her efforts. Thank you!

Let me start by saying this place was absolutely worth the drive from Hayward. I found it through…read moresome online forums and decided to give it a try - and I'm so glad I did. We arrived around 8:30 AM for our dog's drop-off, and even though there were a lot of people already waiting, the process was surprisingly smooth. They clearly have an efficient system in place. After check-in, we were brought inside to speak with the vet, who walked us through everything and answered our questions. Thankfully, our pup was healthy and cleared for the procedure with no concerns. We got a call around 11 AM letting us know everything went well, with a pickup time at 1 PM, which gave our dog time to rest and recover from anesthesia. The procedure went well and he's recovering nicely. Overall, the experience was a 5/5 - friendly staff, efficient service, and incredibly affordable pricing. In addition to spay/neuter services, they also offer vaccinations and microchipping. For our 1-year-old, ~25 lb cockapoo, the total for neutering and microchipping was about $250, which is honestly unbeatable. If you're looking for high-quality, affordable care for your pet, I highly recommend checking this place out and booking an appt online or by phone.

I arrived early for my dog's appointment to find that the neighborhood was rougher than expected…read more There was road construction in front of the business blocking what appeared to be the one and only spot for street parking. As I headed down the side street of auto shops and junkyards mixed in with rundown late 20th century homes I began to brood. I found a spot to park and waited a few minutes until it was closer to my appointment time. Just as I exited my car, I saw a huge, loose German Shepherd walking near the back of my car. I stood and watched as he sauntered westward down Worth Street causing the myriad of dogs along the way, chained in yards and in cages and running loose in yards, to explode in barking, growling, jumping aggression towards him. Think of the Fresh Fish scene in Shawshank redemption. The shepherd was completely unphased. I waited for him to reach California before taking my 15lb dog out of the car. We walked very quickly down the middle of the street to our own chorus of maniacal barking and rushed inside the California Cat and Dog Hospital. When the door closed behind me, I attempted a deep breath of relief but the smell of ammonia, and other unknown and unpleasant odors, began immediately burning my nostrils. My disillusionment was growing rapidly as I walked up to the front counter and gave my name an appointment time. I looked to my left and saw a bulletin board with a photo of Dr. Kim that had a quote from him saying "Every pet that comes into the clinic is my pet!" and I immediately started to feel better. After a few minutes, his son Dr. John brought us back and I explained why we were there and what we needed. I noticed immediately that he was very kind and attentive. He actually physically examined my dog and listened to her chest and back with his stethoscope. He walked us through our options and was instead of presenting us with an estimate listing every fee, he advised us the approximate cost and was willing to be flexible with blood tests and some exams that weren't absolutely necessary at the moment because he understands they can be costly. We decided to to everything he advised regardless of cost and he was able to take our pup in and take care of her. When she started to come out of anesthesia, the staff called us and we were able to get there right away to pick her up. We were very surprised at the affordable cost, even with all the of things that were done. We also asked for pain medication for her and were given a little to take home at no extra cost. We could not have been happier with the care we received at California Dog & Cat Hospital! This place is so great that it was suggested we keep it to ourselves, but there can be no gatekeeping, especially with care like this so I had to write this review. I realize it is lengthy and possibly overly descriptive, but I think it was important because if you are willing to endure the location and the smells, you will be rewarded with gentle, affordable care for your fur babies. P.S. I logged in to write this on Feb 12 and they have updated/notified yelp that they will be closed (Lunar New Year). Most businesses can't even be bothered to put in their correct regular hours on the site so it's just another reminder of the thoughtfulness of the doctors here. I am so happy we found this place.
