They could not be more personable and helpful and they knew our Dog right away and forever after. Our Dog shortly after moving here, got a cattail up her nose; a very dangerous thing and Dr Alwen arranged for us to get the best emergency surgery right away. He has never tried to upsell us to unnecessary procedures yet always has solutions and advice that have been sound. Another Plus it is a lovely setting to go to and never a parking hassle. I would put Edna Valley Vet Clinic operation as probably the best we have ever taken out Dog to and we recommend them highly.

Dr. Knighton has knowledge of all kinds of pets and has been willing to work with us no matter what problem we've brought to his door. Not only has been a wonderful friend to our family, but he has shown a kindness and compassion towards our pets that he's helped us through some difficult times. Dr. Knighton and his pet hospital has been a staple in our community and I whole heartedly recommend him for all your pets needs. A+++++

We would never ever recommend this facility to anyone with a pet. For many years they took care of…read moreour pets, however with my last dog I give them a "G". A "G" is worse than an "F". My dog was very ill and needed to be put down. The vet took him from my arms and said he had to take him on back and start the IV. When he came back with my dog he put him my lap and he was dead. I told I didn't get to hold his paws and say good-bye. He said he had a seizure in the back. We always take our dogs after they pass. He gave us the dog and he had poop all over before we got him home. The worst experience of our lives. Uncaring to say the least!!

I took my 4 year old puppy in here because she had a bad tooth. I had already gone to another…read moreveterinarian because I could never get into this vet, but the veterinarian that I went to to get dental work on my dog was so booked up that they couldn't see her for a month but they did tell me that she had one bad tooth and at her teeth needed cleaning and so I decided to check around and call Bear Valley Animal clinic, because I didn't want her to be in pain any longer than that she had to. The other veterinarian told me that what was wrong is that she had A bad tooth. I EXPLAINED THIS TO THE VETERINARIAN AT BEAR VALLEY. ONE TOOTH WAS BAD AND THAT I WANTED THE OTHER TEETH CLEANED.. believing that she understood what I implicitly said they gave me a form that said if an extraction is necessary, do you want me to call you or just do it? Stupidly, I believed that by checking the box that she would just take out the one tooth.. to my horror when my wife went to pick her up, they told her that they had taken out 18 teeth!!! and that she only had 16 teeth left for the rest of her life. I hope that nobody ever goes through what I went through at this place. It's the worst experience that I have ever had at a veterinarian. I wouldn't trust them to do dental work on a rattlesnake. And for God sake, don't check "extract ' without notification.

From the moment I called , the front desk was really nice and heard my concern and set me up w an appt the following week. Upon arrival, the front desk lady didn't seem warm with a welcome. Perhaps she was tired , but I'm sure some of us come tired, worried, and stressed over our pets. The vet techs who taken us to the room to get our subjective notes were kind, patient , and compassionate. So stars for them! Anyway it was Dejavu all over again for me , the specialist my dog child and I got was the same one from Santa Barbara. I really wanted a fresh set of eyes on perspective and confidence that my dogs issue can be managed. My furchild hadn't improved with medicine prescribed 3 months and taking daily or lifestyle habits he's had all his 5 yrs of life that aligns with treatment. And was told maybe "it's just part of the breed". It affects his daily rest, disrupts his sleep and unfortunately that answer of being part of his breed isn't helpful to me to accept unless we have exhausted all measures at ruling out all GI and esophageal related issues. I think if a pet was seen by the same Md , given the notes are sent over prior so they know who is seen. It would be nice to call back and ask if we wanted that same Internal specialist bc why else would I drive an opposite direction and spend more money to have the same non assuring visit.

We were visiting the area for a few weeks and we brought our dog. About a month before coming, our…read moredog had been in an emergency clinic for a calcified stone that was stuck in her ureter and it had been removed. Our dog had finished her medications and seemed ok before we left, but once we arrived at our rental she started having issues again. She seemed to be in discomfort and was unable to urinate. We contacted the emergency vet we had taken her to originally and they said they would get back to us but by morning, no vet had called so we called again and then started looking for a vet in the area we were staying for an urgent appointment. We called the three closest vets in this area and this clinic was the only one who had any availability. They said they could see us the following day so we scheduled the appointment. Afterwards, the original vet got back to us and ordered some prescriptions for our dog which we were able to pick up locally and get started. Unfortunately, late that afternoon, our dog started bleeding from her urethra. We then contacted the closest emergency vet and they said they were currently overwhelmed and due to their distance, actually suggested we wait for our morning appointment. It was agonizing! We left early for the appointment at this clinic but still barely made it on time as it was not easy to find. It is in a residential neighborhood and it was not in the exact location our navigation system was giving us but we did eventually locate it. The facility was nice and clean and staff was very friendly. We were brought back into a room after only a few minutes of waiting and there seemed to be only one or two other patients there. We explained the situation to what I believe was a vet tech and about 5 minutes later the vet came in and we explained it to her again. She immediately stated our dog needed emergency surgery and that they could schedule it fortwo days later. We knew it was urgent and we would have to take care of it immediately. I just had a bit of a concern because no one ever looked at our dog or examined her in any way. I just did not feel particularly comfortable with the situation so I asked for an estimate to do the surgery and they provided us with an estimate of $3,428.77. Our dog is 12 and has had battled cancer and had multiple surgeries, dental work, etc, so I am familiar with estimates and it was odd to me that both the low and high total showed that same figure. That's not usually how it works. Based on the fact that no one actually looked at our dog, that estimate seemed high (even for an emergency) and the fact that they pushed for a surgery and had immediate availability, it all just felt a little odd and we went with our gut. We decided that even though we had paid thousands for a beautiful rental with a pool for the next few weeks that we should head home immediately to have our own vet do the surgery. We drove all night and brought her to our vet the following morning. They made space for us in their full day of appointments and examined our dog thoroughly. They then did an ultrasound with us present. They showed us the issue and said they would try and squeeze her into the surgery schedule the following morning. They completed the surgery for $1278.32. To be fair, they gave us a discount of $294 so in all honesty someone else having it done there would have spent closer to $1572 but that is still less than half the price and more importantly we felt seen and comfortable with the way they handled things. It's possible that this facility just has a lot of availability and they felt they didn't need to examine the dog. Its also possible that they rushed the estimate and just put the same total for the high and low amounts. As I said, the staff was nice enough but I am glad we chose lose out on the rental and have it done where we felt more comfortable. If you include the money we lost by leaving, it actually cost us more to go home and get it done but you have to trust your intuition and I am so glad we did.
