Took my husky mix who hadn't been to a full clinic before for the first time and had a great experience! Loved that they accommodated him by letting us check in and then sit in the car and called us when it was our turn. Was hesitant my dog would be reactive to other dogs but he did quite well and the staff was friendly and helpful. Was in and out pretty quickly as well. Definitely recommend read more

just now New Absolutely horrible customer service. I am floored by their lack of care and follow-through. By failing to get back to me for weeks and weeks regarding vaccinations, I'm now left completely stranded trying to vaccinate rescue animals for transport. Had they let me know sooner, I could have made arrangements, but now I'm entirely screwed. If they cared even one bit, they could make this right because they really hurt my move and process. I'm so disappointed and angry that they strung me along for so long--over a month (closer to two) saying no problem and not to worry. Thanks a lot for really, really impacting a person who was more than kind and understanding. Just WOW! read more

This staff is always so kind and patient. I've done walk in and appointment. Walk in can take some time but once I got into my appointment I completely understood. They are a lot of time and car with your pet and you. I've recommended them to several friends already! read more

Had an appointment at 11:30. Still sitting here at 1:15. I understand that sometimes there are emergencies but that is not the case. They are just unorganized and overbooked. Will not be back. read more

Headline: Life-Threatening Negligence and Fraudulent Charting - Do Not Trust This Clinic ​I am writing this as a medical professional who had to perform my own clinical audit to save my dog from this office's incompetence. My dog, Twinkie, was failed by Dr. Mean and her staff on multiple levels: ​1. Fraudulent Documentation & Lack of Physical Exam: The records claim Dr. Mean performed a heart exam on Twinkie. This is a blatant lie; she never even touched my dog. Furthermore, a covering vet performed a suture removal but failed to document any of the clinical concerns we raised. Vitals that were taken by a tech on an intake form were never entered into the formal medical record. ​2. Misdiagnosis & Dangerous Over-Medication: Despite Twinkie showing clear signs of anaphylaxis right in front of the staff, they "shrugged it off" and insisted she was having syncope (fainting) due to heart failure. Without proper diagnostics, they jumped straight to a heavy cocktail of Enalapril and Vetmedin and Furosemide. ​3. Intentional Withholding of Records: I believe this office intentionally stalled sending my records to the cardiologist. Once they realized a specialist would be reviewing their "work," they likely realized they had jumped the gun. Because they failed to provide the records, I had to act as my own investigator. ​4. The Proof is in the Recovery: After connecting the dots myself, I realized the Enalapril was dropping her blood pressure below baseline and the Furosemide was dangerously dehydrating her. I made the clinical decision to stop the medications. Within 24 hours of being off their "treatment," Twinkie was back to her old self--active and barking. A subsequent exam by a different, competent veterinarian confirmed she is healthy, her heart is fine, and she never needed the medication. ​Final Word: If I hadn't used my own medical background to challenge their narrative, their "treatment" for a non-existent heart condition would have killed my dog. Their clinical notes are vague, their charting is dishonest, and their diagnostic skills are non-existent. Go elsewhere. read more

My sister's dog didn't get pregnant even she did two TCIs breeding there. She was hoping to have the lady who has a very very long hair for her female's TCIs. She had a different lady for both TCIs. She told me that the lady took a so long to finish the TCI each time. It's was so dissatisfied. read more

We brought our two Xolo dogs for their year wellness check, to include microchip for both and rabies shot for one of them. As good stewards we scheduled an appointment for both to find out that they double and triple book. This practice is uncalled for and one that only places unnecessary stress upon our pets. I should have read the reviews to really make a conscious decision of how they run their business. Unfortunately they have lost a customer and I will make sure to tell those I know as well. read more

probably one of the worst walk-in that I've ever been to about her puppy tee concerning that she might have giardia and after waiting nearly 4 hours, I was finally seen even though they insisted I should come in 1130 and I'd be seen much quicker, but honestly I could've just took her to an emergency vet but they wanted their money. So i'm waiting from 11:30 AM to about 3:30 PM I finally get into a room and we get everything discussed and x-rays, bloodwork was done with a Pavo and giardia test. This situation was so exhausting and unprofessional. i finally didn't get to walk out til 430-5pm. Thinking by the next day, they would give a call which they did not and had to reach out myself for them to tell me she is positive for giardia which can cause a whole epidemic and a household other animals so the neglecting of the rush on telling me is absolutely flabbergasting. After trying to discuss what options there would be, they said that they will not be prescribing panacur because nursing dogs cannot have it with little to no excuse besides, it will have a little adverse reactions with the puppies but it's a low possibility and denied helping with medication but happily took the $400 of an appointment after having me waiting for nearly the whole day just to be seen. My dog and her puppies were exhausted. We were starving and overall probably the worst experience ever for them telling you it was OK to come in for a walk in just to blow me off all day. The reception in front desk is really nice, but I don't trust the doctor and there's probably a reason why there's so many horrible reviews. read more

For the price it's okay; but the time you'll spend waiting will ultimately charge you more. If you are okay with waiting over an hour after your scheduled appointment then this place is ideal. Customer service is awful considering the amount of time you'll spend waiting along with the poor quality of patient care. Not to mention that once you're finally placed in a room, you'll be sitting there for the same amount of time. Spent 6 hours over an eye scratch. This isn't just a one time poor experience, but something that frequents every single time I've come in. I think it's time I take my business elsewhere. read more

Amazing vet and staff. Very compassionate and understanding. Went through many vets and clinics but none can compare to this vet.

This was my first visit to this pet hospital, and it will definitely be my last. I would not recommend anyone to take their pets here. In my opinion, they are better suited to being breeders than calling themselves a pet hospital. Their examinations were purely superficial, and they failed to check anything I specifically asked them to look into. It's clear they only want to deal with healthy animals for breeding purposes and have no interest in actually caring for sick or injured pets. Their attitude was dismissive, and the care they provided felt careless and rushed. On top of that, they were extremely rough with my cat. While I don't know exactly what happened behind closed doors, my cat was visibly unhappy and distressed after the visit, which has never happened before. For anyone who truly loves their animals, I strongly urge you to avoid this place. This is not a facility where the well-being of pets is prioritized. read more

Very first time here and let say it is been great, they do get busy here. The staff are very friendly and helpful

I love my new Vet! Dr. Means is awesome. She takes her time with us and explains everything. I appreciate her knowledge and trust that my little pooch is in good hands. Everyone in the office is really nice too. read more

Ever since ownership is no longer under Manny, this clinic has been going downhill!!! Wait times have increased significantly and overall hospitality and care is just not the same. The vet techs and doctors seem to lack compassion for our animals. If you don't mind waiting 2-3 hours for your pet to be taken care of, I DO NOT recommend bringing your fur babies here! read more

I have been a great customer for several years. Unfortunately, my last few visits have been terrible. It does not take two or three weeks to train a new employee. If the computer goes down, you do not allow the line of people to grow outside the door, while four employees behind the reception desk are chatting and drinking iced drinks. Are they unable to think outside the box and do it manually? Do a list of people, get them into rooms with all the techs walking around doing nothing and get it fixed. Thank God Val emerged from the back employee room and got the line moving. She did in 5 minutes what four people could not figure out in an hour. Please give this woman a raise. You will start losing business if you keep hiring people incapable of doing their job. Please see if Val has some relatives and get some quality people at your office. read more

They were the most affordable euthanasia vet clinic I found available on the weekends, no appointment needed. They helped send my sweet Penny over the rainbow. If you're a first time client you do have to pay an extra $60 or $65 I can't remember for the vet to check them out first. Every other vet place asked for more money just to let you be with them when they went over the rainbow. This vet clinic did not do that. Both my husband and I were able to stay with her to the very end and then gave us as much time as we needed after. They do charge if you want to take them home or the ashes, I was not able to afford that so I opted out. I later on in the month found them to be a very affordable place to get my 13 year old Lhasa apso's nails trimmed after calling around, again no appointment needed. On the weekends it gets packed fyi. During the week I went on Thursday for the nail trim it was fast in and out under 30 minutes. The Vet I found to be very compassionate and caring. I felt like she really cares about what she does and her patients. The staff were very nice but the vet won me over. I definitely recommend this place. read more

I highly recommend So Cal K9 Clinic. They may not be fancy but they have an excellent staff that is caring and knowledgeable from their front desk to the technicians and veterinarians that attend to your pets. I have not found any practice that is able to address my needs as a (show and preservation) breeder in as professional and thorough a manner. They offer both TOSOH and Idexx progesterone and these have been timely and accurate. Their board certified theriogenologist, Dr. De Sousa is a delight to work with. I find her to be good at listening to her clients and committed to helping them achieve their breeding goals. I've never had more reliable sonograms performed anywhere. I like the fact that you can see them on either a walk-in basis or schedule an appointment. To top it off, they have reasonable prices and I've always found them to go out of their way to be helpful. read more

Had another appointment and it was a much better experience. Granted, got there super early and got seen as a walk in early. Saw the Dr this time and she was nice. Staff was helpful.

If I could give it 0 stars I would. I scheduled an appointment for 3pm and was not seen until over an hour later. I was put in a room and had my animal briefly examined by a vet technician, who assured me the veterinarian would "be right with me". That was false, I had to go check in with staff 3 different times to make sure they knew I was still there and still it felt like forever before a veterinarian came in(over an hour). Considering the only reason I went in is because I was concerned for my animals health, even going as far as to arrive 20 minutes prior to my scheduled appointment time; why even offer appointments if you don't plan to honor them? This felt intentional because my boyfriend expressed a condition he deals with and it felt like the staffs way of harassing us because they felt he was "different". I can't believe the treatment myself, my boyfriend and animal received here. All of that for a less than 10 minute visit with the veterinarian with and almost 200 dollar bill later. We spoke with reception at end of our visit and asked to speak with a manager, who conveniently happen to be on a phone call. I was again assured that I could leave my phone number and would receive a follow up call from the manager to express my concerns, but that never happened. It seems it is their forte here to not keep their word. Myself and anyone that I know will never be coming here. read more

Came here after my dog injured her back leg and my vet was closed. Only went because of a fellow breeder recommendation. Although my first experience was a walk in and the vet (Dr Tran) was a pleasure, my second experience was less than delightful. Second visit was by appointment for an xray and leg recast.. waited over an hour past my appointment before dog even went back. Then the vet (Karen MEANs) was in fact a mean Karen. The worst bedside manner. Very rude and made me feel as though my ONLY option was surgery with an orthopedic specialist or amputation. After leaving in hysterics, took my dog home and got a second opinion. She healed with no issues. They seem to be incompetent in anything beyond reproductive services. Save yourself time and heartache and go to Butchko. read more

What could improve? Answer: The bad attitude I encountered today with Sarah the "co-owner" of this facility. I came in to request a Travel Certificate for my dog - "it's a document that confirms your pet's health status and suitability for travel. It is often required by airlines and destination countries for both domestic and international travel to ensure the animal is healthy and doesn't pose a risk to other animals or humans." When the vet tech took my dog into the room all he did was take my dog's temperature, weigh her, inspected her ears and teeth, then scanned her for a chip. It literally took 5 minutes. Once completed he left the examination room and came back with a clipboard & paper. Asked me to review the info (ie: address, destination, dogs info) then minutes later produced a final copy, handed it to me and said goodbye. I thought that's it?! That was easy. I then proceeded to exit and walk back to my vehicle. Minutes later I got a phone call it was the girl from the counter at the vet clinic. She indicated I left without paying and there was a fee of $177. I was surprised to hear the cost considering nothing out of the ordinary had been done to my dog and no estimate or cost had been given when I initially checked in. I asked to speak to someone aside from her who could better explain the charges to me. Sarah then came to the counter and in a very condescending manner began to say "you requested a service and got it and with that there's a cost". No shit Sherlock but my question was why was it $177 and what is the breakdown for?? I tried to explain to her no one, neither of the other 2 employees who helped me before her mentioned there would be a fee. It would have been convenient to know up front what or if Id be charged for this Travel Certificate. Rather than listening to me she kept trying to talk over me, put me in my place and give me silly unnecessary examples of "well when you go to Target and buy milk you expect to pay for it and not get it for free, right?". Again, I simply needed to understand what the charge was for. I had nothing on paper to reference regarding the cost of services & price. To add there is nothing displayed on their wall or counter of how much things cost there!I was trying to figure out wtf am i being charged for bc it didn't make sense that the certificate would cost $177. I was not looking for something "free" but Sarah, who's supposed to be their "dr" just kept talking over me. It wasn't until later that she finally broke it down to $125 Certification fee & $52 for the Physical. I told her that's the answer I was looking for and she should have said that from the start. Instead she chose to argue, make a scene, give stupid condescending examples about paying for services, and act unprofessionally in front of multiple clients in the lobby. Word of advice- customers aren't interested in being lectured or given a sermon. Do better at communicating the costs of your services UPFRONT. Work on your price list so customers don't have to keep guessing. Seek to understand instead of talking over people! read more

I was trying to ignore the bad reviews and just give this place a chance ... but I should have went with the reviews. I checked in with a scheduled appointment at 12:30 my appointment was for 12:40. They called me back by 12:50... me and my pup stood in the room waiting for the doctor that never showed up :/ I asked what was going on around 1:45 and waited again..... my pup was crying and crying to leave and was just not happy with being in the exam room for a long period of time. By 2:00 I just got up and let the receptionist know I was leaving due to never being seen. I could hear all the other rooms getting seen and out really fast. Unfortunately We never got seen by the dr. I was really looking forward to bringing my pups here. All I was there for was a simple exam and a rabies shot. So this is why I put 1 star and wouldn't recommend this place. read more

Best vet ever!!! We were previously going to a similar one in Murrieta, but we decided to come to this one not only for the location (it is way closer) but because of other reasons from the previous vet. The wait is a little long but SOOO WORTH IT. My puppy Zen is very dramatic and can be super wormy. They cuddled him and held him and played with him while giving him a vaccine. That's really what you want when you go to a vet. The nurses were amazing and so sweet. you can see they love animals. I'm so blessed we found this place. read more
