    Very happy with our experience here on a first time visit! We went in thinking Pharoh had an ear infection, turned out it was still his allergies. They made some recommendations regarding shampoo and medication which caused a major turnaround. We will be using Tehachapi Veterinary as our go to vet!

    I care for a women, and her wonderful companion of 12 years died. I took her to the vet for them to take care of her body. I was asked if she would like a paw print of her dog. I thought she would like that so I said go ahead and do it. Today I picked up the paw print and it's ceramic with Tiffany's paw prints and name on it. It's so sweet and special. I asked them why I wasn't offered that when I brought my dog in for cremation. The answer was "well sometimes we do it and sometimes we don't". This really bummed me out, my children would have cherished that. We could have set it right next to her ashes. I didn't even know this is something that could even be done. So if your animal unfortunately passes away, you can make sure to ask them to make you one. I posted a picture of the one done for my friend. I have always given 5 stars. Dr. D is amazing, I am usually very happy.

    Most of the staff is rude, and the wait time is absolutely ridiculous Over two hours of waiting for a Bordetella vaccine!

I…read moream able because they are livestock , to take care of a lot of issues myself, so it has been a couple of years since my animals have been seen by this team. How SAD it was today to get a phone call from them, stating that well, we can NOT come out to you for an emergency visit, and to go or call my vet that I have been using since the last time they were here. I have not used any other vet, as there aren't any I had trusted or are available within our area, and besides, she was MY vet. Look I know there are limited resources, and I get that they are severely under staffed, but come on now, be reasonable. It was almost as if she was excited to call me out on not utilizing them more recently. How hateful of her. I had always left a perfect review for this vet, however, I am now choosing to only leave one star. I do not have horses, or expensive livestock, but I do have pigs, and goats, and they were always such a great help. I even took my pigs, and goats to HER office. Shame, shame, shame on this vet for not looking at my PAST relationship with them, and allowing for that to speak for itself. She didn't even bother to ask me what was the issue, as to possibly help over the phone, but I guess that was too much to expect.

That being said, my experiences have always been very positive. My dogs are 3 years old now and I have been taking them to this clinic since they were around 10 weeks old. The staff has always been extremely friendly and accommodating -- you see, I have difficult dogs that hate being handled by strangers. They growl and fight and need to be muzzled, despite being stoned on Trazodone, and despite my best efforts at socializing them since puppyhood. I can't thank the people at this clinic enough for putting up with my pups and I hope their patience never runs out!

I've…read moreboarded my pets at my other different places (in other cities), and Tehachapi Pet Lodge is a clear winner in how they care for the animals. It starts with good people. This place has all the right people - it is obvious that each person cares about my pets. They are kind to them, patient, and accommodating. When I have special requests or needs (like medications or things to be careful of) they are always mindful of it. Whenever I pick up my pets my pets are happy to see me but also don't look like they were sad to have been there. And my pets never resist going here, which says a lot. The facility is always clean, tidy, and safe for my pets. I appreciate that they let me see where my pet will be, so I can feel more comfortable about my pet's stay. Whenever I call, they are always happy to tell me the truth about how my pet is doing. And they give a very personalized report - so I can tell they are hands-on. (If you've ever done a Petsmart boarding, you know what the opposite of this is like.) One time my pet had a medical need arise (which wasn't a surprise to me because of my pet's medical situation). They notified me immediately and offered to take my pet to their adjacent veterinary office to be seen immediately. I declined, but appreciated their attentiveness and care. They also are a pet supplies store! They have treats, food, care supplies, supplements, leashes, etc. I cannot say enough positive things about Tehachapi Pet Lodge.

The reservation process is quick and easy and these ladies here are always friendly. My dog is well taken care of and well fed. We love the pet lodge!

This most recent time, we took our dog in because we couldn't get an appointment at our regular vet. They had the same day regular appointment. Our dogs face had swollen instantly. We weren't sure if it was a snake bite or a bug bite. Or something with salivary gland. First and foremost, the girl at the desk was quite rude. Not the type of person you would want on your front lines of customer service. They did all the proper steps except for not doing a blood smear test to test for venom. The doctor kept saying this is what she thought it was, but she was not doing the test to see if there was venom. She did do an aspiration test. Which had to get sent out so we waited for that. But unlike most vets who would treat that procedure as surgical and shave the area in which they are extracting from. They just chose to stick the needle in and extract. In the meantime, she recommended overnight hospitalization and doing the anti-venom treatment. The anti-venom treatment is not cheap, plus they wanted to charge us almost $1000 to hold her in a facility overnight, where there was no staff. The specific line item for staff was $500. And there was no one there overnight only one check in at midnight. This is robbery. There are really great options in the area, but this is not it. I've learned from one of the other vets in the area that the number one mission for a veterinarian is to be of service. That is not this place. We see so much price gouging from various businesses like this. There are much better options in terms of customer service, fairness of pricing and treatment recommendations, and professionalism. I went and got a second opinion and then saw my regular vet. It's also nice to work with places who will instantly send you the medical paperwork via email and stay in communication with you via text. You don't get that at pet check engine. I do not recommend.

I brought my dog here because she seemed to be in pain, and I was worried something serious might be going on. What I appreciated most was their honesty. They evaluated her and reassured me that she was okay and could wait to see our regular vet. They even explained that there were other dogs with more urgent emergencies who needed immediate care. That kind of integrity really stood out to me. They took the time to look at my dog, answered my concerns, and didn't charge me anything. Many places would have easily billed $75 or more just for the evaluation. On top of that, the staff was incredibly friendly and kind. Especially the young woman with the Toy Story Crocs.

A special thank you to Dr. Blair (I hope I'm spelling the name correctly), who delivered the inevitable bad news with such care and understanding. As heartbreaking as the situation was, Dr. Blair gave us the facts we needed in a way that was honest, gentle, and not overwhelming. That compassion made an incredibly painful moment a little easier to process. I hope you get to see her when you have to visit the hospital...Otherwise I hope you never have to take your pet to any hospital. We are so grateful for the support, empathy, and dignity they showed both our pet and our family. Thank you Dr. Blair for helping us move forward with love and clarity during one of the harder moments we will face. Last note : Arrive early for any walk ins. We arrived at 730 and were the last to be seen.Luckily we arrived as the last walk in this day..
