Veterinarians near Carmel Valley

“I have seen three vets now at this clinic and all have been wonderful. Finding a vet that I can trust is huge for me because I have senior dogs who need a lot of care. I was lucky enough to find Carmel valley veterinary hospital after my dog had a medical emergency. I truly credit the advice I was given here as what made the difference in saving my pets life. I highly recommend Carmel veterinary hospital if you want the best care for your pets.“

“We were referred to Veterinary Eye Clinic when our St. Bernard suddenly developed blindness in one eye. While we unfortunately had to let her go after just a few appointments with the vets, we had a wonderful experience during the time we did work with the team. We were always able to get an appointment asap, the team was so kind, and when our girl passed they sent the sweetest card with condolences. We even got word that a donation was made in our girl’s name to ACVO Vision For Animals Foundation. We couldn’t have asked for a better team during a very tough time.“

“I brought my cockatiel here the day after Thanksgiving after she suddenly became very sick. I called the Avian and Exotic Clinic hoping for a last minute emergency appointment, and they got us in right away.

The vet quickly diagnosed her with a bacterial infection. She received fluids for dehydration and was kept overnight in an incubator to keep her body temperature stable. When I picked her up the next day, she already looked so much better.

We were sent home with antibiotics, and within a two weeks she was back to her normal, healthy self. I’m incredibly grateful to the entire staff here, and the calls I received checking up on her progress. If it weren’t for them, I truly don’t think I would still have my little bird today. Thank you all so much!

If you are considering taking your bird anywhere I recommend here!“

“My boyfriend and I were very interested in adopting a kitten and visited this shelter many times over 2 weeks. Each time we came to SPCA we had a great experience and everyone was very nice and helpful. We ended up finding a purrfect kitten and the whole adoption process was very smooth! Susana helped us and gave us all the information we needed about our new kitten! Thank you very much SPCA!“

“They saved my dog Mindy's life. That alone is invaluable to my family and I, and we will forever be in their debt, certainly worth more than just a five star review. These are the most intelligent, professional, and empathetic people I have ever met in my life, doing what I feel is one of the most intellectually and emotionally demanding jobs I know of (seeing animals in one of the most dire of situations).

My dog Mindy is a Sharpei mix, around 8 years old, and she was diagnosed with multicentric Lymphoma. For about a month, she grew tumors larger than the size of a tennis ball throughout her body and got to the point where our the vet was surprised that she was not experiencing more complications than she already was. We were recommended to various SAGE hospitals and this clinic by our local vet, this being the last place that was handwritten onto the page. Although smaller than the SAGE hospitals (I assume), they had the earliest availability (they give lymphoma patients priority due to the speed and nature of the illness) and the lowest cost (one of the SAGE hospitals required a deposit before even booking the appointment, this place obviously did not), and probably the best care, and I will be forever grateful that we chose them. After consultation, we opted for a 15 week CHOP (seemingly a medley of chemo chemicals) protocol (another route seemed to be a Tanovea drug 15 week protocol) which required us to drive about 3 hours each way every couple of weeks (there were no other veterinary oncologists for about a 3 hour radius from us in Fresno, CA) for around 9 visits total, averaging around 150 to 355 dollars per visit (somewhere in between $2000 to $2400 in total). Her tumors went away and she went into complete remission before the end of the treatment (though we completed the 15 week protocol and all visits regardless). Animals apparently don't tend to experience as many bad side effects to chemo treatments like humans do and this was our experience with Mindy as well. The average remission length is apparently around 6 months. If it comes back, there are follow up treatment plans available. We don't know how much time this has given to Mindy, but she started acting like her normal self, rather than the lethargic and likely pained version with tumors throughout her body. I don't regret a single thing and I would do it all over again if I had to.

I highly recommend them of course, feel free to ask any specifics of my experience, would be happy to answer.

Edit: She was in remission for roughly 3 months, then treatment again here for roughly 3 months, but sadly was put to sleep yesterday. These people gave me 9 extra months with the love of my life, Mindy and I will always be grateful to them. Please hug and kiss and tell your dog you love them so much right now for me.“

“Just moved to Salinas from Charleston SC and had to leave my beloved vet. This place has great reviews so I got an apt for my puppy here. They got me in within a week or so of me calling and I had a great first experience. They were timely and kind and clearly love animals. I didn’t feel like they tried to “sell” me on anything I didn’t want. They gave great advice on when to fix my pup and training tips too.

I will be making appointments for my kitties to come here as well.

EDIT: brought one of my kitties in when he suddenly was using the litter box a LOT more than usual. They were able to fit me in same day. Thankfully Zigzag is ok but they were great about seeing him.

Beverly who is usually who I see up front is an absolute sweetheart. She never rushes people and is always so pleasant and kind. All the staff has been the same way. I feel like I found a great vet and so close to my house.“

“They have been taking care of my guinea pigs for more than 3 years. My male guinea pig suffered a severe infection and heart murmur and the vet did a great job to reverse it. I also board my pigs there occasionally too.“

“They've been my vet for years & have always been great & a non-traumatizing experience for the entire family. Dr Anderson was our vet originally but we see a lady now & she's down to earth & understanding. Pricing is as fair as any vet & they do a really thorough job. I've also taken advantage of their recommendations for specialists when the need arised & they've never steered me wrong. Great locally owned business. Rachel is super great & helpful with scheduling too. Always.“
