    I don't know how this place is still in business. My boyfriend and I rescued a dog last week from the corona animal shelter who had her sent to this place to be fixed and vaccinated before we could take her home. We thought it was a little weird that the volunteer at the shelter told us when contacting this place, to send a text because they don't answer their phone. You would think that most professional places would answer a phone call for a customer, right? So, we go to pick up our dog from the vet, and you can't find this place. There's a poster in a window written in sharpie that says "starlight animal clinic." Apparently, the clinic operates out of a grooming facility. This place just screams sketchy. We go in, and the first things I notice are how filthy this place is, the terrible smell, and how warm it is. There was an old pizza box behind the mess that was the receptionist's desk. The blonde lady at the desk, who I'm assuming is Linda, was somewhat nice to us, but extremely unprofessional. The small waiting room is not separated from the operating/grooming room. That's right, they groom animals in the same room they perform surgeries on them. Since it's so warm in there, I can only imagine the germs and bacteria. While we were there, one of the puppies that they had spayed didn't have a cone on and was able to get to her stitches and tore them out, and had her intestines coming out. Why didn't the dog have a cone on in the first place? After getting this poor puppy stable and calling the vet, who wasn't on the premises and didn't come to fix the stitches, Linda finally got around to helping us check out and take our dog home. We were not told to make a follow up appointment. Fast forward one week, one of my dog's stitches came undone. My boyfriend texted Linda since they can't answer their phone to see what to do. Since they didn't have us make a follow up appointment, we thought that her stitches were dissolvable. After texting Linda, she says that the stitches do need to be taken out eventually. It would have been nice to have been told that while we were checking out and collecting our dog last week. After letting her know that we weren't informed about a follow up appointment, she texts, "Consider yourself told lol Giggle xoxo." I just think if you're going to run a business where there's sick animals, maybe the facility should be kept cool and clean to help prevent the spread of infection. I'm not sure why they prefer texting to calling. The way Linda corresponded through text with my boyfriend was extremely unprofessional. I would never speak to a client like that. Not telling us to schedule a follow up appointment and that the stitches eventually need to be removed is unacceptable. I would never recommend this filthy place to anyone. I wouldn't even bring a pet rock to be in their care.

    This was me asking if I can get help after no one has contacted us. Also this is the email that was deleted.

    Currently this clinic is closed as it is being remodeled but on their voicemail it says you can leave a message or email them to possibly get your pets records. Voicemails, emails and even direct messages on their Instagram have been left but no one is contacting my boyfriend or myself. I left a comment on a recent video they posted on Instagram and it was deleted. I then asked why it was deleted and now they have blocked me. This establishment is so unprofessional and inconsiderate of the needs of their clientele. All I wanted was the vaccination record of my dog.

    Tuck is under and ready for his new life. Thanks Starlight!

    Wow!! I'm absolutely blown away by the quality of not only service, but care that we received. Everyone in the office is amazing! From the moment we walked in our big guy was so curious about what was happening, and wanted to explore all the smells. They weren't upset one bit. They all fell in love with Tucker. He's a 61.9lbs pitbull. He's so very lovable! If you're looking for a vet that is going to take care of your baby/babies, and you're on a bit of a budget, this is definitely the place for you. The staff in knowledgeable, honest, and very kind hearted. I'll never take Tucker anywhere else! We love in Fontana, and there are tons of places between here and there, but as far as I'm concerned, there's no care good enough to surpass what he gets here!!

    I took my little girl cast there to get fixed the staff was very friendly and courteous the owner Linda was very nice and I was not afraid to leave her there to tap things taken care of thank you to the entire staff of Starlight for taking care of my little dog

    My  PTSD  support/service dog Atlas ..Who has 3 legs ..Happy and Healthy!

    I have been taking my dog and dogs I have rescued to this clinic for years .. I have ALWAYS had a good experience! I have helped Veteran friends with their dogs some who could not afford treatment, Linda always assists..Her priority IS the Animal. Her heart is for the animal as are the people who work and volunteer there! My dog is a PTSD service/support dog, and when he had surgery for possible cancer, I was a wreck, I could not leave him .. Linda allowed me to stay and wait for him. The patience and the kindness of the staff toward me and my dog was unbelievable! Turns out Praise God..it was not cancer!! It can get very busy there as we have spread the word to other rescue groups of affordable care for dogs so that more animals can be saved.. Just be patient if you go in, adaptable, its not about You its about the animals!!!

    This was my first experience with a low cost clinic I've always taken my pets to be sterilized to my vet. The place is a bit scary looking, but the staff is extremely friendly and obviously are all animal lovers. My puppy's incision has been healing properly and he was back to his normal self the very next day after all the meds wore off. The only complaint I have about the clinic was that they misspelled my name on the neuter certificate, I guess that could happen anywhere. Honest mistake. After I came in to pick up my puppy they gave me detailed instructions on what I should do to help my little guy heal and stay safe after surgery. A big thank you to all the staff who was more than friendly and informative. I would of not left my puppy there if it was not for the friendliness of the staff.

    My Little cone Heads, after getting fixed at Starlight Clinic! Bailey & Chipper at 6 months old! Thank you Starlight!!

    See all

    We are beyond heartbroken and devastated over the care our English Bulldog, Tank, received at this…read moreclinic. He was clearly suffering--and the clinic was aware, as I repeatedly communicated his condition through both phone calls and in-person visits. This all began after Tank was placed under anesthesia at this clinic on 2/12/26 for a dental cleaning and the removal of his front teeth. From that point forward, his health steadily declined. He began losing hair profusely and developed severe itching. We brought him back in, and Dr. Nathalia prescribed medication that had no effect. After over a week with no improvement, we returned, only to be given the exact same medication again, despite it not helping the first time. As Tank's condition worsened--his hair loss continuing and his face beginning to swell--we sought help at the Corona 24-Hour Emergency Hospital. There, he was diagnosed with a severe yeast infection and was prescribed prednisone and antibiotics for 14 days. After completing that treatment, I spoke with Dr. Silveria and explained everything Tank was experiencing. At that point, his condition was alarming--he had a strong, foul odor, was not eating or drinking, was shivering constantly, and could barely urinate. Watching him suffer like that was unbearable. Her response was, "Oh, he's doing this to himself," which was deeply upsetting and dismissive given the severity of his condition. When I asked about his symptoms, I was told they were due to the yeast infection. However, I felt strongly that something more serious was going on. Despite this, I was reassured that an itch medication would resolve everything and was told, "I guarantee that within 48 hours Tank will be back to his normal self." I was also instructed to continue hand-feeding him. There was no urgency, no further diagnostics, and no indication that his condition might be critical. That improvement never came. Instead, Tank continued to deteriorate. His condition worsened day by day, the foul odor intensified, and he remained in visible pain and distress. Tank did not deserve this. He deserved to be heard, properly evaluated, and treated--especially by a veterinarian who had cared for him since he was a puppy. His condition rapidly declined, and he passed away from sepsis on 3/25/26. I will never forget the pain he endured or the helplessness we felt, trusting guidance that ultimately failed him when he needed real care the most. I cannot shake the feeling that his suffering was dismissed and that more could have been done if his symptoms had been taken seriously. That trust was broken in the worst possible way, and now our dog is gone. I am sharing this so other pet owners will advocate strongly for their animals and seek a second opinion if something does not feel right. No one should ever have to go through this kind of loss, wondering if more could have been done.

I'm new to the area and have been very stressed dealing with my dog's declining condition. The staff member who helped me (I believe her name was Jessi or Jessica) was incredibly kind and compassionate. Even though they were close to closing, she took the time to listen to my concerns and understand the situation. Unfortunately there wasn't a veterinarian available to see my dog, but she still went above and beyond to help. She suggested several nearby clinics and even helped call them to check for appointment availability. Because of her help, I was able to secure an appointment without having to rush to an expensive emergency clinic. I truly appreciated her kindness and willingness to help during such a difficult time. Even though I've never brought my dog here before, this experience alone made a very positive impression on me. If I adopt another dog in the future, I would definitely consider bringing them to New Haven Animal Hospital.
