I chose VetNow based on reviews and proximity a couple weeks ago when I had a scare with my puppy after I found she tore through a pee pad and swallowed a piece. I went in late during the week, and they took my puppy back and the vet had to induce vomiting with some kind of injection, and didn't find anything then, and they also took X-rays. Dr. Yi advised me to monitor her for 2-3 days to make sure there was no blockage. Thankfully, my puppy ended up being totally fine. Dr. Yi saw my puppy and she spoke to me after and explained everything in detail. She was so friendly, personable, knowledgeable and all around someone I'd 100% trust my puppy with. The facility itself is very clean and hygienic, they have coffee and a water dispenser, and a large separate room where I waited since the treatment rooms were taken...it felt like more of a nice hotel than vet emergency, so waiting in there was actually enjoyable. I had to wait a bit, but not a crazy amount of time. Also, anything pet related can be pricey, but the prices here seemed competitive/comparable, and I was explained the cost breakdown and I pre-approved. I was also able to get pet insurance claim submitted on the spot. VetNow is a great local clinic, as some more well known ones in the valley/LA get packed and can have really long wait times that actual or potential emergency situations can't wait for. After my experience here, I know I'll keep their information on hand in case of emergency and recommend to friends. It's nice to know there's somewhere local I know and trust for my dogs. All staff, from receptionist to vet techs to vets, were very friendly and able to answer all my questions, and made me feel at ease. Most importantly, they were all great with my puppy. And I could tell Dr. Yi knew what she was talking about. Hands down recommended. read more

We came to Vet Now as an emergency with our little Chihuahua mix because she wasn't very alert and had diarrhea. From the moment we called, they were so sweet and caring and told us to come in right away. As soon as we arrived, they took her in immediately, which gave us such peace of mind. They didn't try to push us to do any unnecessary tests. Sanda at the front desk was an absolute sweetheart and so warm, kind, and compassionate. Dr. Natali Warmoth was wonderful as well and made us feel that our little girl was in very good hands. We're so grateful for the kindness, compassion, and quick care we received, especially during such a scary moment. Thank you to the entire Vet Now team! read more

I brought my senior dog in during what felt like an emergency because she has an ulcerated mass on her tail. On my way there, the office sent me a link to fill out so that most of her information was already registered by the time we arrived. As soon as we got there, the receptionist checked us in and Riley came out to get some additional information. Within minutes, a tech came out and took my very scared girl to the back. They examined her right away, the vet was very informative and thorough, and they're running diagnostics to figure out exactly what's going on. They also clipped and cleaned up the area on Yasha's tail, and omg, they even trimmed her nails, which she NEVER allows me to do. A huge thank you to the VetNOW team, and especially Riley, for making such a worrisome visit feel so smooth. I'm really grateful for how quickly they took care of Yasha and how kind everyone was with her. read more

Kind and compassionate staff that really care for your pet. My pup had some lameness in her leg but they were able to diagnose the problem and treat her pain. She was able to comfortably sleep and enjoy the rest of her day on her painkillers. They charge what would be expected of an emergency vet, I paid around 800 for everything including x-rays, small bloodwork panel, meds, pain injections, etc. Pricey yes but my pup desperately needed treatment and the care she received proved to be worth it. The only thing that could've been better was the long wait time. I won't hold this against them because it was a Sunday and it seemed like there was only one doctor working. Be prepared to spend half a day here if not more. read more

Dr.Alwen is the best - I just heard she opened up her new urgent care . I met her five years ago with my other dog at a VCA hospital and she gave the best quality care but the prices at the hospital were outrageous again I went to the hospital again in Pasadena because my dog was sick and they wanted to charge me $7000 and when I was looking around, I saw that Dr Alwen was working at Vetnow And it turned out that she was the owner and she just started this Animal urgent care five days ago. I highly recommend her and her price was are affordable. anyways, I would've paid but over the amount knowing that Dr. Alwen was seeing my baby. She's a very experienced emergency room physician. read more

Vetnow wiped away all the fear and stress I had when it comes to a vet urgent care/ER. They took my dog in right away, no waiting, were super thorough and spent lots of time with us to communicate everything despite me having a million questions. We did have to wait for them to run some tests and a critical patient came in so it took a bit longer but they called us and kept us in the loop with everything. Very happy to know they are close by read more

They were kind, courteous, thorough, and helped our little guy get better. We highly recommend them!

Last month, late on a Wednesday evening, I came home from work and found my normally rambunctious, young, energetic doggy sneezing and bleeding profusely from his nose. I rushed my bleeding, struggling pup to an emergency hospital in Studio City. In my panic and haste, I accidentally came to this facility instead of the hospital I was headed to. One of the vet nurses saw me through the glass, running towards the facility with a bleeding animal in my hands, and swung the door open. Another nurse quickly took him into her arms and took him back. They provided first aid to stop the bleeding and make my Flash comfortable. When the doctor came in to talk to me, we figured out that I went to the wrong place and that my dog's condition required more advanced treatment. The team at the urgent care wrapped my doggy in a towel, covered my car seat since he was still oozing some blood, and carried him back to my car. The doctor, whose name I regretfully cannot recall, called the hospital that was waiting for us to coordinate care. They didn't even charge me, although they were the first responders to provide care to my barely breathing pup, and did everything they could for his dire condition. They showed so much care, compassion, and thoughtfulness. Unfortunately, despite everyone's best efforts, Flash didn't make it. But I am grateful to the entire team at VetNow for everything they've done for my best friend on his last day. read more

I brought my 6-yr-old dog here because she suddenly started acting strange and hesitant, almost like she was scared of something. I even mentioned that maybe something had spooked her or she had a bad dream. After examining her, I was told she was likely blind. I was shocked and devastated. The vet said she did not pass the cotton test and her blood pressure was slightly elevated, though it could be from stress. They wanted more testing, including glaucoma checks, bloodwork, and other eye tests. They also mentioned SARDS, which causes sudden blindness and is incurable. My heart dropped. I told the vet I did not believe she was blind because even walking into the clinic she was avoiding objects, turning corners, and navigating on a leash. At home she could also find me. I suggested they walk her on a leash to observe her, but I don't believe they ever did. I was told she was probably just familiar with her surroundings, but that did not explain how she navigated into the clinic. They kept her for more testing while I went home. I also asked about steroid drops for SARDS. They said they first needed to check for scratches before prescribing them. When I picked her up, I was told all the tests were normal, but they still suspected SARDS. They also found a superficial corneal scratch. I was confused why that had not been checked earlier given the vision concerns. I asked if the scratch could affect her sight, but was told it was not significant enough to cause blindness. She was sent home with eye ointment, a cone, and a referral to a vet ophthalmologist. Once home, she did not act blind at all. I walked her and she navigated around cars, trees, etc. normally. I called the vet and explained this, but she said my dog was probably just familiar with the neighborhood. I told her we rarely walk there, but she seemed dismissive. I continued watching her closely and she clearly could see. She even played fetch. I tried to get an ophthalmology appt., but the earliest was a couple weeks away. The next day her eyes were a little squinty, possibly from the ointment, so I stopped using it that night. By the following day she was completely normal, navigating perfectly and responding to everything with no signs of vision loss. At this point, I don't believe she had a vision problem at all. I think something may have spooked her, and then the stress of being at the vet may have affected how she responded to their tests. I wish that possibility and my observations as her owner had been taken more seriously before jumping to such a devastating diagnosis. I spent a significant amount of money doing all the testing they recommended, which I was willing to do for my dog. What bothered me was the lack of compassion and how confident the vet remained in her diagnosis without giving much consideration to what I was seeing. When I questioned her, she came across as condescending and dismissive rather than hopeful that my dog might actually be able to see. I understand vets can be wrong and medicine isn't always straightforward. But this experience left me feeling like it was more about the business side of vet care than genuinely listening, investigating, and caring for the patient. Wasted so much money for nothing. Staff is nice though read more

This was the best experience I have ever had at a vet in my entire life. They were kind and considerate from the moment I called. They not only cared for the pets but for the owners as well. They offered us water, coffee, to be walked to our cars since it was late ... Truly above and beyond. Thank you for restoring my faith in veterinary care & making it less like a business and more like a caring family practice. read more

Dr, Alwen and staff we're great with Lilly. I ran into them by accident trying to go to the other vet hospital down the street. I'm glad I am as the other Center quoted me $5000 for something that they only charge me $1300 as a physician myself I appreciate the honesty and how caring and compassionate and bedside manner the doctor had. read more

Excellent team! I have a senior pittie. She's been through a lot this summer and I had exhausted a lot of options and didn't know where to turn. I saw this new place in the neighborhood so I gave them a try with my fur baby. They did not disappoint. My girl had a another rough week recently and not only did they take great care of her when she was in their care, they did follow up calls and patiently explained everything. They were not in a rush to get me off the phone. In fact, they suggested a pain management specialist who is absolutely phenomenal!! Was exactly what I was looking for. She spent over an hour with me explaining everything in great detail. Did not push anything just had an honest assessment and some very good physical health options I never knew about. Extremely smart and gifted. She made my girl feel comfortable and relaxed even during treatment. It's very obvious they love animals and their patience with me was incredible. Shout out to Bella! Thank you for putting up with all my questions. You rock!! Thank you to everyone!!! read more

I brought my cat in for concerning GI issues. Everyone at VetNow was so fantastic and knowledgeable. The vet even called me back later to give me more information after the full test results came through. The front desk bent over backwards to help me navigate the next steps after we got our diagnosis. Thank you, everyone at VetNow, for being so kind during a very difficult time. read more

This place is awesome. They helped out with all questions and were fast and kind. The lady at the front desk was super caring and Dr Wong was awesome. I was able to get there at 10:30 and still be seen and it was super affordable. Highly recommend! read more

We are a multipet household with senior and medical cats and dogs and so we have tried every emergency vet and speciality hospital in SoCal that you can imagine. Our experience with VetNow hospital was one of the best. To begin with I realized Doctor Yi was previously part of the vet team at another speciality hospital that saved our then 15 year old Senior Pitbull battling cancer back in 2022. She's now part of the Vet Now team. Staff are very friendly and caring, the vetting team is super experienced. I also found their diagnosis not just accurate but fair and honest. I don't think I could have asked for more. Knowing our senior animals will need additional care, VetNow will be our good to for any speciality and urgent care read more

Right when I called, I knew we were in good hands. Sanda was very sweet and welcoming. The place was clean, the doctors friendly, and they explained everything thoroughly. Wonderful to have an independently owned business on Ventura and I know they'll do their best to take care of all pets that come in. read more

This place is the best animal urgent care I have ever been to. So happy they're in the neighborhood now. I had an emergency with my dog Hamilton, and they did such an incredible job and were so nice and helpful, I was blown away by the experience. I hope I never have to bring him there ever again, but I wouldn't consider taking him anywhere else! read more

The people working there are the best They make you feel so welcomed while also comforting you while caring for your pet. Dipcone is usually a grouch but he LOVED all the staff. They answered all the questions I had and even gave a goodie bag once we were discharged! Their prices are so reasonable and I honestly couldn't recommend a better team than the staff and doctors at vetnow. Thank you for all that you do read more

I took my dogs Bo and Bella for their exams on opening day. The place was very clean and the staff was super nice. The doctor was great with the dogs and made them feel very comfortable. I will definitely be back when need be in the future. I highly recommend VetNow. read more

I didn't expect to have such a lovely experience at an urgent care vet, especially a brand new one. The staff across the board are lovely and compassionate. We missed our dog like crazy while we were waiting for her to be examined in the back and the front desk worker went back to take a picture of her for us so we could see how she was doing. Dr. Frey was incredibly smart, informative, and kind. I wish she could be our dog's vet all the time. She was the perfect amount of thorough and mindful without being overreactive or suggesting unnecessary treatment for our pup's condition. We asked her so many questions and she was very patient and empathic in answering all of them. The price for the care was also incredibly fair for an urgent care clinic. I felt very respected throughout the whole process. Would absolutely recommend this clinic to anyone seeking urgent care for their pet! (Note: they do close at midnight so not 24/7 care but pretty darn close) read more

I cannot speak highly enough of the staff and their services. While I was there with my cat, I watched the staff interact with multiple pets and owners with care, kindness, and expertise.

Really impressed with this place. Dr Alwen is probably the kindest veterinarian we've seen in 40 years of having pets. They were so busy during the opening week but they made us feel like the only family they were seeing. Thank you for a wonderful experience! We will be back -- hopefully not sooner than expected, but so good to know you're here and open late read more

The whole staff was helpful and friendly. Emergency vets are usually the longest wait. But this was a smooth and kind experience. My dog is very strong and fearful and they handled her perfectly. Whew. Dr Yi was great and did a great job stitching her up. read more

If i can give this place a zero i would. Do not come here if you're looking for an affordable place. I went in not to long ago to take my cat because he had a fever they took him in right away but we waited there for about 3 hours in the waiting room and they never came back to let us know any information and we couldn't even be in the room with him. It got to the point where even the receptionist was concerned for them taking so long and had to ask what was going on. They finally took us to a room and we had to wait again about 30 mins, all we heard from the room where the veterinarian was laughter. That made me really upset it seems like they were doing nothing for my poor cat. Finally the vet told us he had a high fever, and many fleas. Why did she wait so long to just tell us he had a fever? She didn't do no injections on him either or medication for all those hours? She finally told us that he needs lab work done and should stay overnight and the price for that was more than 1000! Obviously I want what's best for my cat but I really couldn't pay that price I just told the vet to give him fluid injections and antibiotics because this isn't the first time one of my cats has dealt with a fever and his primary usually gives him that medication and dose but unfortunately they were closed that day. They took about another hour just to give him that injection and we had to wait even more time to the point where the vet had closed already and it was super late at night once they finally brought him in so i can take him home. When i was going to pay i thought i was just paying for the antibiotics because that's what i asked for. No, I was wrong they charged me for flea medication and nashua medication even tho I didn't ask for any of that. I feel like they just wanted to get more and more money out of me for stuff my cat does not need. After that visit a few days later he got better off the antibiotics but he started to act the same very weak and I took him to his primary to get lab done and a checked immediately. His primary immediately gave him an injection and lab done for a much more affordable price without waiting a bunch of hours like vetnow. read more

I had a great experience here with my cat, Kevin. He recently had surgery, and the entire staff was so kind, caring, and professional throughout the process.
