Bakersfield Large Animal Hospital

May 2023

Dr.gonzalez and staff are amazing.. my filly came to me after a 3 day trip at 4 months old, she arrived with parasite blockage/colic...they saved my babygirls life. She is a very big girl at 1 yr old she is 15 hands and 1130lbs but they are so loving and patient with her. Dr.gonzalez explains everything he is doing.he is knowledgeable, gentle and is not about money (his priority is the animal) and by far the best staff in bakersfield ? my girl gets so excited to trailer cause she knows she is going to see her friends at the vet office and the staff gets happy to see her too.... ???? BLOSSOM LOVES YOU GUYS

Words can’t express how thankful myself and my family feel about the wonderful care our equine family members receive from Dr. Tolley and Dr. Gonzalez. It’s such a helpless feeling when you have an emergency and need a vet asap. They both have come out to us very quickly on different occasions and are professional and personable. The office visits have been easily done as well. They educate you on the issue at hand and offer options to solve said issue. The office staff is great too, easy to book appts and get info. from be it in person or by phone.
