When I noticed my dog Ruby acting strangely while eating and spitting out her food, I checked her…read moremouth and was surprised to find what appeared to be a fracture on one of her large back teeth. I immediately emailed the clinic with a few photos, and within 20 minutes I had both an email response and a phone call (just in case I missed the email), along with an appointment confirmed for 8am the very next morning with enough time reserved to perform an extraction if needed. The responsiveness alone was impressive. At drop-off, the surgery technician, Jorge, was incredible. He was knowledgeable, personable, and immediately put us at ease, especially since this was Ruby's first surgery requiring anesthesia. During our conversation and bringing up a certain topic, he mentioned he recently attended a dental conference which reassured us that the team is committed to continuing education and staying current with best practices. Dr. Gertz, whom Ruby has seen previously for routine care, was wonderful as always. She performed the initial exam, confirmed that the tooth appeared fractured, and explained that the team would call with a definitive diagnosis once dental X-rays had been completed. The treatment plan was straightforward - anesthesia, dental X-rays, bloodwork to ensure levels were appropriate before surgery, and a cleaning with extraction if necessary. A few hours after drop-off, we received a call confirming that the tooth was indeed fractured, although surprisingly still alive. Dr. Luna took the time to thoroughly explain the findings and our options. At no point did we feel pressured. She clearly outlined the pros and cons of proceeding versus monitoring the tooth and explained that leaving it untreated would likely lead to problems in the future. After discussing everything, we decided to move forward with the extraction since she was already under anesthesia. No more than a few minutes later, the team called again because they realized the cost of the updated treatment plan had not been reviewed. I actually hadn't noticed because I already trusted that the recommendation was medically appropriate and that the pricing would be fair (which it was). Still, I appreciated their transparency and professionalism in making sure every detail was discussed before proceeding. When we picked Ruby up around 2:00pm, Jorge spent considerable time reviewing her full-mouth dental X-rays with us and explaining exactly why the extraction was recommended. It was fascinating to learn more about canine dentistry, and we left feeling far more informed than when we arrived. He answered all of our questions patiently and thoroughly (even the ones that were already covered in the aftercare packet we had just been handed!). We also were given a full sized sample of a recommended oral rinse for regular maintenance. Ruby recovered exceptionally well from the surgery, which was a huge relief. She had previously undergone sedation prior to X-rays at another clinic years ago and did not have a great experience, so we were naturally nervous. This time, her recovery was smooth, the extraction site is healing beautifully, and she came home comfortable with appropriate pain medication. She has shown no signs of discomfort throughout the recovery process. I also want to recognize Lauren at the front desk. She was incredibly kind, friendly, and helpful throughout the process. She worked with us to ensure detailed notes were included in Ruby's chart to help prevent potential insurance issues and even went a step further by following up with the doctor after we left to request additional documentation that could support a smoother claims process. That level of attention and advocacy is rare and deeply appreciated. Overall, this was an outstanding experience from start to finish. We even received a call a few days after her surgery to simply check in on her recovery. From the front office staff to the technicians and veterinarians, every person we interacted with was compassionate, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in Ruby's well-being. The communication was outstanding, the care was exceptional, and we never once felt rushed or pressured. Ruby is family to us, and the trust we place in those caring for her is not something we take lightly. We are incredibly grateful for the entire team and feel completely confident entrusting them with the health and care of both of our dogs. Bonus: they were giving out adorable supergirl bandanas they received as promo material!

SoCal Vet is the place to go for your pet's dental cleanings. My Pug just has the worst dental…read moreissues, bad breath, lots of visible tarter, etc. I worry about her health and if she's in pain, so I set out to get her evaluated. SoCal Vet quoted me 1/3 of the price of other Vets in my area- about $700 for a 20lb doggy with poor dental. The price included blood work, x-rays, anesthesia, meds, AND extractions. My pug needed quite a few teefs removed. They clipped her nails free of charge. The Gentlemen (forgive me, I forgot his name) who went over x-rays and cleaned her teeth is great at what he does! I have since taken her back for a dental check, and brought my other pug. Both were sedated and received the full dental treatment. The price has remained the same for each! Dr and Staff are sweet; they are busy, but very kind. Def recommend them.

Greg took a moment to introduce himself to my horse to calm her, was very gentle and patient. I am very happy with Greg's work and would recommend him highly. My horse is a dressage horse schooled through Gran Prix. The bit is an extremely important tool in communicating my aids, having her teeth perfect is important for both communication and effective eating.

If I could give this business a zero star review and warn you to stay away, I absolutely would…read more But here's my best attempt to giving you the heads up not to support this business I have been with Haven animal hospital for the last 4 years I have exclusively stayed loyal to this business and thought they were a great company Since they have switched things around and gotten a new vet in the office, care has gone significantly downhill Let me start off with explaining to you exactly what happened My golden retriever experienced in almost 5-minute seizure I booked lab and blood work to be ran a full panel for my golden at their office I came in for my appointment. They took my dog and took the blood and all the labs that they needed They told me that I would have the results either the next day or at the very latest Tuesday because they are closed on Mondays Tuesday rolls around they tell me great we have the results and we're just waiting for the doctor to go over them Didn't hear anything else Wednesday rolls around I call and I'm like hey did your doctor get a chance to go over those results? No sorry So I asked if they can hand me the Rob results without the doctor's interpretations They end up sending the results to an incorrect email address when they've had my email address on file for the past 4 years and they never get it wrong when they need to remind me of appointments or vaccination So I call them back later in the evening and forming them. I still haven't received my pet's results and they informed me that they sent it to the wrong email A few of her results are looking pretty concerning. I have one on my friends who's a vet tech interpret them for me. She's also kind of concerned Friday rolls around and I get an email that they're extremely concerned about my dog's glucose levels and that I need to schedule her a follow-up appointment to have in-house glucose test done I schedule the appointment. I arrived to my appointment this morning at 10:40 a.m. I arrived 5 minutes prior to my appointment They leave me sitting in the waiting room until 11:28 a.m. They also have a waiting room overloaded with people and pets Once they do finally come and address me, they make me aware of the fact that they're not going to be able to see my dog today because the doctor isn't in and that they messed up on their scheduling I asked them to reconsider that choice and to give me a better option because not only was I there to get a follow-up on results get an in-house blood glucose test, but I was also going to let them know of other health issues my dog was currently experiencing They informed me that well. Their doctor couldn't see me or my dog that they could still do the glucose test, but it wouldn't be an in-house glucose test. It would be a full lab test all over again and that they would have to send it out and then I would again have to wait for the doctor to interpret those readings which last time it took her over a week to do so. My dog could be having kidney or liver failure and this doctor wants to continue to make me wait for my dog's medical care I argued with them and told them I would like the glucose done today in office with the readings interpreted and then I would like to cut ties with them and stop supporting their services in the next breath of air. The vet tech tells me we're going to do the glucose in-house today and then we're going to cut ties with you as if it was her decision to cut ties I reminded her that it was my decision to cut ties with them because the quality of care that they cannot provide to my animals will not be accepted by me. The animal parent she continued to express how sorry she was that their doctor is always overbooked and has way too many patients. But they keep booking appointments and keep loading her schedule full and then she treats my dog like a dollar sign instead of an individual So instead of my dog getting the prompt and proper care that she deserves and that I paid for I literally left with no answers in an attitude from the front desk ladies as well as the vet technician They couldn't even have the decency to give me my dog's results in a timely manner or to acknowledge my concerns about needing those results in a timely manner because my dog could possibly be in renal failure and they refuse to acknowledge that I will be making a report with the ASPCA as well as the better Business bureau as well as my credit card company And I will also be finding out who owns this practice and I will be going after them legally as well If you want to keep a business in good standing, maybe treat your customers with a little bit of decency and respect. Don't make them drive 40 minutes out of their way for an appointment with a vet and then when they get there and sit there and wait for almost an hour in your waiting room.

Evening Star Kennels should have higher ratings, in my opinion. I'm so glad that although I read…read moremost, if not all the reviews, I chose to disregard them and just let my gut tell me if I should move forward in getting a pup from this kennel. Evening Star was celebrating their 40 year anniversary and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to get another Vizsla at an outrageous promotion. My first Vizsla was adopted from a family who wanted to give her up and even then, I don't have background info on my first V. I adopted her at 6 months and she is now 7 years old. The pup from Evening Star would come with health clearances from both sire and dam. Another review mentioned their photocopies as being questionable, but for me, that didn't matter. I imagine other breeders would just photocopy their documents as well. I read a couple of reviews deterring people from getting pups from Evening Star because their dog developed cancer. I pray that none of my pets get this, but I even have family and friends who got/had cancer. Speaking with a representative from South Coast Vizsla Club, they confirmed that all breeds can develop cancer. (I had contacted several Vizsla organizations including Vizsla Club of America when I was researching breeders.) I did ask Gaila even though they were celebrating their 40 year anniversary, why such an amazing promotion? She said their anniversary was July 26, if I remember correctly, but also they were taking a 3 weeks vacation and she preferred that she found good homes for the puppies before they left. Although she had people to care for all her dogs, she thought best to get homes for the puppies before their trip. Lastly, Gaila sends you home with a bunch of goodies for your pup along with some instructions. For me, she even included a couple of things for my 7 yr old V at home. I felt like I was treated like someone getting one of her pups at her regular rate! Better yet, I felt like I found someone that I could have a long term relationship regarding the Vizslas!
