Altadena Pet Hospital is a full-service veterinary facility dedicated to the care of dogs and cats in Altadena, Pasadena, and surrounding areas. The hospital offers a variety of services, including vaccinations, teeth cleaning, spay and neuter procedures, and boarding. Many pet owners appreciate the competitive pricing, particularly as veterinary costs have increased in recent years. The hospital is known for its helpful staff, who assist clients, whether they are bringing in a large dog or a small cat. Recent customers have praised the friendly staff and knowledgeable veterinarians. One owner shared a positive experience with a newly adopted cat, who received an ear wash and nail trimming. The cat returned home relaxed, indicating a gentle and caring handling during the visit. However, some clients have noted areas for improvement. There are concerns about wait times during appointments, with visits sometimes taking over an hour. Some clients felt communication could be improved, especially regarding specific procedures and questions that may be overlooked during the examination. Despite these minor issues, many pet owners express their intention to continue using Altadena Pet Hospital for their veterinary needs, thanks to the overall care and attention their pets receive. The facility remains a trusted choice for pet owners in the community.
I really appreciate Dr. Sahi and his approach. He is honest, direct, and reasonable but also truly a kind and compassionate person. Even after I took my dog to TJ for surgery (because US prices were too expensive for us) he was still very helpful and without judgement continued to follow up and advise us. Also he really helped my kitty after she was attacked and badly injured. She became inconstant and they took her in several times and helped to teach me how to squeeze her free of charge. I am so grateful to have found this clinic I could not recommend them more.
We recently switched to Altadena pet hospital for our two dogs and two cats and we really love it. We used to go to a vet in echo park that while they had so many five star reviews, it felt like everytime we went we were seeing new doctors and having to re-explain our pets medical history. It also always felt like they cared more about the money than the well being of our pets. Dr. Sahi is very knowledgeable and friendly. Our cat has some chronic health issues and he has been very attentive with him - researching alternative treatment routes and finding the right path for him. He also will only recommend something if it's truly worth doing for your pet, rather than trying to upsell you unnecessary or risky treatment. They are a small town vet, so the waiting room is small, parking lot is small, and sometimes there is a longer wait to see the doctor - but I've always experienced great customer service and a super friendly staff. Anytime I call I am on hold for no more than a few minutes if at all - which is very rare for vets in this area. One of our dogs is also very nervous and dog reactive. They said he can wait in the car until his appointment time and then use the side entrance to avoid seeing other pups which we love. I talked to a few folks in the waiting room and one couple had been coming there for 13 years, and the other couple 10 years. That was a huge selling point for us!
I have been going there for years with various pets consisting of several cats and a dog. Prices have sky-rocketed in veterinarian care; however, this Hospital has competitive pricing with all the others in the region. Parking is always easy and the staff is always helpful when my 18 pound cat has to be lugged in with a cage or my 80 pound pitbull needs coaxing to jump out of the car.
