I never leave reviews but I cannot say enough wonderful things about Aguajito veterinary hospital!…read moreI was beyond impressed with the entire experience from start to finish. Being able to schedule an appointment online was incredibly convenient, and I was so grateful that they were able to get my dog in the very same day. Dr. Briggs was incredibly thorough, took all of my concerns seriously, and jumped right into treatment to get my dog feeling better as quickly as possible. I truly appreciated how much time and care they took to explain everything and make sure all of my questions were answered. The entire staff was also so kind, polite, welcoming, and friendly. You can really tell that they genuinely care about their patients and the people who bring them in. Also getting to sit in during the exam was very refreshing as my dog can be very anxious at the vet. My previous veterinarian recently moved, so finding a new vet that I felt comfortable trusting with my dog was really important to me. Finding this clinic truly feels like a godsend. I am beyond pleased with the exceptional care my dog received and so grateful they were able to get him seen and started on treatment right away. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for compassionate, thorough, and exceptional veterinary care. Thank you to the entire team & Dr. Briggs for taking such great care of Teddy!

I carried her in, although on the phone they asked if I needed a gurney, which I didn't, but has kindly offered. The second they saw me and my pup, everyone stopped what they were doing to help. They could clearly see between my face, and her, that this was serious. Although our sweetie passed, they did everything they could, and kept me in the loop the entire time. The physician gave us great peace by telling us what had occurred, there was nothing we could have done, and even if we'd gotten her there earlier they probability to survival was low. In an extraordinarily difficult time they give my wife and I peace knowing we'd done what we could and it wasn't our fault. I had a mentor tell me, "why and what if are what keep you up at night." They did everything they could to shut down those difficult thoughts. While this is a sad outcome, I can't think every person who helped me and our pup last night do what they could. I'll never forget how you helped me through one of the most difficult processes of my life and thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I brought my French Bulldog to this emergency veterinary hospital on August 23, 2026, around 4 PM…read morebecause the entire left side of his face was severely swollen. We specifically told multiple staff members, including the doctor, that we suspected the swelling could be related to an ear infection. My dog was taken to the back, and despite being there for approximately six hours, I was never allowed to see him during the visit. We were told that they needed to discuss payment before examining him. We ultimately paid $243 for the initial "exam," $357.25 for blood work, plus medication fees, for a total of $761.21. After getting home, I checked his ear myself and noticed a significant amount of wax. I called the hospital to confirm whether his ears had been examined. Emily put me on hold to ask and then told me that they had not checked his ears. When I asked why, considering we had specifically raised the possibility of an ear infection and his face was swollen extremely close to his ear, I was told that they do not check ears unless there is a specific reason to. I find that extremely concerning. We specifically gave them a possible explanation for his symptoms, and his swelling was located directly next to his ear. I expected that to at least warrant an ear examination, especially after paying hundreds of dollars for an exam. I then asked to speak with the doctor or a manager. I was told there was only a shift lead. When I asked to speak with the shift lead, I was told she was busy and that the doctor was in the middle of a "procedure." I simply asked for the shift lead's name, and Emily told me I did not need to be given that information and then hung up on me. I understand that emergency veterinary care can be expensive, and I am willing to pay for appropriate care for my dog. What I cannot accept is paying $761.21 and later learning that something as basic as checking his ears was not done--even though we specifically raised an ear infection as a possible cause of his facial swelling. The lack of communication, compassion, transparency, and professionalism throughout this experience was extremely disappointing. I brought my dog here because I trusted this facility to properly evaluate him when he was clearly unwell. Instead, I left feeling like my concerns were dismissed and that the focus was more on payment than making sure my dog received a thorough examination. If you are considering bringing your pet here in an emergency, I strongly recommend asking exactly what will be examined and what is included in the "exam" before agreeing to treatment or charges. My experience left me deeply disappointed and concerned about the level of care my dog received. I don't need a generic response with " we apologize for your experience ,please feel free to contact us" what you need to do is train Emily for some customer service and the other lady who rolled her eyes when I was speaking to them during my visit.

Dr. Passamani has been our vet for years (30 yrs or more).He is a country doctor and he and his…read morestaff are very caring. He calls to keep me informed. They never make me feel bad when I take my dogs in and when it is my dogs time to be gently go to sleep they allow me to be there in the room holding my dog to the end. Not only does Dr. Passamani stay in the room but his staff too so I am not alone after. That is compassion not only for my dog but for me. If you are looking for a no frills no nonsense office this is it. You don't find country doctors anymore these days. He and his staff are rare gems and I hope he never retires.

Haven't been to this place for a while, but came across this business and had a bad memory and have to share. This place is a very old, converted farmhouse. Dark, musty smelling and just NOT warm and inviting AT ALL. Overgrown unkempt yard all around. My dog had an injured foot and he was trying to bite the dr. while being inspected. Well the dr got pissed off and squeezed my dogs mouth closed and yelled at my dog. I was speechless, in shock and should've just grabbed my dog and walked out. Instead, stupid me paid for the bill, then left. Unbelievable treatment from a "veterinarian". Doctor Dena, up by the Prunedale library is fabulous. She truly loves her fury patients.
