Veterinarians near Altadena, CA

“My family has been bringing our cats here for decades. The reason is the superb care they receive from the staff. Highly professional, extremely friendly (both to animals and humans). I highly recommend this place.”

“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!”

“This is a great business. They are always friendly, helpful, and professional whether you need an appointment, prescription refill, or just have a question, they are there to help. Our veterinarian was Dr Navia. She is a superb clinician, has great surgical skills and is very gentle with animals. She treated our dog for a bad heart valve and heart failure over a couple of years. When his disease progressed and we decided on euthanasia to prevent suffering she was very skillful at the procedure and provided us emotional support as well. Everyone at the facility is service oriented. You will never feel like you are bothering them and never feel like they are in it for the money. A simply great group of people. As a retired family doctor I give them my best recommendation,”

“This office is amazing! The phone staff is kind and helpful. We were helped promptly in the office and Dr. Dong and her assistants were kind, and knowledgeable. I wish that it was closer (we are in Bakersfield) because your office is wonderful!”

“It’s nice to totally trust your vet. It’s also so clear how much everybody loves animals here. They’re so sweet to our cats and take all the time we need to answer our questions.”

“The staff is so kind and helpful! The front desk is really nice and the vet team is as well. Appreciate they help you figure out next steps for your pet without you feeling forced to go all out and test for everything if you cant afford it. They find a good balance to help your pet one step at a time. Also the wait is always fairly short and reasonable which i really appreciate as well. And they seem to genuinely care and want to help! I had been going to a different vet for years prior until i moved, and i'm shocked at how much nicer and efficient and helpful this vet clinic and staff is. They have helped my dog and cat so much and i'm so thankful!!!”

“In regards to a review about unfair vet prices and preying on pet owners. Veterinary care in general is expensive. My sons dogs ear infection cost him 750 dollars…an ear infection. This is a dog too keep that in mind not an exotic…of course exotic care will cost more their exotics. If you want to talk about preying on the owners… my experience with that cost me 8 months of vet visits and 2 surgeries costing over 3500 dollars only for this so called “rabbit vet” to tell me he doesn’t know what’s wrong. When just 1 visit with Dr. Silpa ( who is an amazing exotics vet) took one look into my little bunnies mouth and quickly diagnosed him with advanced dental disease. If I had taken my bunny there from the beginning over all I would have SAVED money. So it REALLY does matter to find a good QUALITY vet who knows what they’re doing to take care of your special friends.

Fast forward 4 months my bunny has been a happy hoppy bunny and no more roller coaster rides for him thanks to Dr Silpa!”

“The Vets here is amazing. I think they might be stretched thin though. The supportive staff didn't explain how to apply the topical medicine very well and they seemed a little disorganized. It feels like the process needs an office manager to coordinate support staff. Prices alway felt high, but this is my first vet experience, so take that with a grain of salt.”

“Honest and affordable care. The dr immediately diagnosed and treated my pup's ear infection and you could see my dog's instant relief. So grateful to have access to this local vet. Definitely recommend! (And please support small businesses!)”

“we got here at 6:15am and waited 1 hour to get in, signed in and filled out new patient paperwork, then waited another hour in the parking lot for them to call us in. we were honestly shocked to get called in early because we were just here to get our cat spayed and was expecting to wait 4 hours. it cost $240 to get our 7 pound, 1 year old, female cat spayed!”

“I've been going to Alhambra Vet for years. I love Dr. Henstra and Dr. Gil and always feel like my kitties are getting the best of care. The staff is really great too. Yesterday was the first time I've been back since the renovations and they're really nice and modern.”

“They always do an amazing job when it comes to my pets.... They have great customer service and answer all the questions and concerns you may have. Thank you for everything we will be back again!”

“This is the best animal hospital ever! The vets, techs and reception are all so caring and knowledgeable. Dr. Ahmad is always so happy to discuss the intricacies of my dog's health issues and thoroughly explain all of the options available for her. I feel like I learn so much when I'm there and nothing is ever forced on me.I'm also always shocked at the affordability when it comes time to pay, which is a nice change from the shock you get at corporate animal hospitals :] I've also never had to wait more than 5 minutes after appointment time. They are super efficient and well-organized.They also work with rescues to get them affordable care. I genuinely can't recommend it enough.”

“We have had a great experience with Dr. Carnahan and the Staff at Dr. Domotor’s. We were looking for a new veterinarian for our dog after having some bad experiences with other veterinarians. At our initial visit, Dr. Carnahan took his time in addressing all of our questions and concerns. We felt very comfortable and assured our dog was getting the best care.Our dog had multiple teeth extracted and Dr. Carnahan and Staff did an amazing job and were wonderful with postop care.We are so thankful we found Dr. Domotor’s!”

“They are probably the best Vet Clinic I have ever been to. Dr. Robins was great and attentive to my little Ellie (cat). She truly cared about her well-being and focused on getting her better instead of adding unnecessary services.

When you first walk in, you feel welcomed and everyone seems so happy to work there. They treat all the animals with respect and care. They have a waiting area inside and outside as well, which I think is great for our nervous furry friends.
The wait time is a little high, but it is so worth it. They are literally focusing on every single animal and making sure they get the best service. So, of course, it will take some time. They do their best to take in as many appointments as possible so there is no walk-in availability.
But if you call on the same day the moment they open, they might just let you in for a same day appointment. It's not a guarantee, though.

They accept care credit, and if eligible, sunbit. I think it is amazing because not many vets have options for payment plans besides care credit.
I think options like these are great for people like me who have more than 1 furry friend.

I really suggest giving them a try. They really won't disappoint. They are super open about their prices, which honestly are not even remotely close to high. And the best part is they don't try to over sell!
Great quality at an affordable price. You just can't beat that!”

“I wouldn't easily trust any other vets for the sake of my dogs' health other than Dr Christina Fan at the Pasadena Pets Vet. Very knowledgeable yet honest with her opinions and recommendations, always giving two sides of the story, so as a pet owner, I am able to make a sound decision weighing out the pros and cons. knowledge and integrity are two key factors for a good vet.”

“Update: Clinic is under new ownership but Dr. Frics is still caring for your animal family.

Dr. Frics and Dr. Ahn are an absolute pleasure to work with. They’re very professional, knowledgeable, and on top of all the advances in veterinary medicine. If they can’t treat it, they’ll responsibly refer you to a specialist. They treat you like family and your fur babies, feathered or scaled, too!”

“I have been going to Dr Tang since the mid '90's, when I had a pet cockatiel with my two sons, and more recently since 2007, when my husband and I got our first dog. He saved our dog, Spencer about 15 years ago. He'd had a seizure out of the blue, when he'd accidentally eaten rat poison outside without our knowing it. Dr Tang not only saved Spencer, but that dog went on to live another 10 years almost! Most recently our dog Popper has some autoimmune disease, and Dr Tang has seen us almost 10 times over the past 2 months, trying his best to figure out how to treat this 7-year-old (young!) dog. We have all the confidence in Dr Tang's ability, expertise, and most importantly in his compassion. As others have mentioned, Dr Tang doesn't have great bedside manner with the humans who visit his practice, but he so obviously cares about our pets (his patients, as he said this morning), that I will keep going to him forever. And he is so reasonable, I sometimes wonder how he stays in business! God Bless Dr Tang!”

“their prices are better and affordable than VCA prices. I compared here to san gabrjel VCA and we'll I truly feel lile the doctor DOES HIS JOB! During the check Ups he's very professional and not afraid of my aggressive dog. He genuinely checks my dogs body during the check up. unlike others vets they just pet my dog and say good boy and not really check. But rosemeads doctors actually check what's wrong or unhealthy. Medication they give me a good amount for reasonable prices and give my dog just what he needs unlike the other san gabriel vca. (that vet always offers a bunch of medications and random ointments that I've unfortunately bought and he didn't need) Meanwhile here I spend around 250 for 2 dogs, including medication, check up, and SHOTS. San gabriel vca charged me almost 700 just for a check up and medication. I'm always coming back here when I try a different vet because they genuinely care for my pet, and my pockets.”

“I've partnered with Cloud Creations getting many new FinServ Salesforce users up and running with Justin and his team. Without hesitation did I recommend Cloud Creations because Justin has a great team that understands many industries well. On top of Cloud Creation's excellent work they also have very reasonably priced packages for their market. I'll continue to suggest Cloud Creations for many years to come.”

“The doctors are great here. We have been going to them 15 years and I feel like they have added years to the lives of my dogs. I had two labs live to be 18 and 17 when both diagnosed with bad forms of cancer. I think the kindest thing they ever did was to do surgery on a little poodle we found that was a mess. Tumor covering her lower body they examined her and said it is not pretty but we can remove it! No promises made but were straight with us that if they did not think they could save they would tell us. They did the surgery and we had a new dog that gave us joy for five more years. The last thing is they are also very compassionate when it is time to say goodbye even when you don't want to. All this makes them the best vet combo ever.”

“There is no better place to take your cat. Dr. Iburg and the entire staff are so caring and extremely competent.I have been going here for over 10 years. I have had cats my whole life and I'm now 82 years old. This is the best cat clinic I've ever had. I trust them completely with my "kids". Judy Svendsen”

“Sometimes the worst thing happens and you end up surrounded by the best people. I was lucky that Dr K and her whole team esp Nini were there to help me and Maggie transition in peace and comfort and love and empathy. I will forever be grateful to them. You and your pets will love this vet.”

“Quick shoutout to Stacie, Guillermo, and Dr. Hsu! Every time I see them they're so kind and helpful. I take my 2 cats and 1 dog here and even though they get anxious, I know they're in good and safe hands. The staff seems to really care about there cute little patients and takes good care of them. Even when they're all booked up they make it so easy to find an appointment on a day that I'd need. Any time I ever have a question I'll give them a call and they're always so helpful:) Thank you guys for all of your hard work!”

“The front staff are kind a supportive, the vet tech came out and took the time to love on and relax my dog, and the vet was thorough and communicative about my dog's history and next steps. They're quick with scheduling and have answers for questions like what's the best pet insurance. We (my dog and I) couldn't more highly recommend.”

“It was always impossible to get an appointment with our previous vet which prompted us to find a new place (Crescenta Valley) and we’ve never looked back. The team is so responsive and makes sure our dogs are seen when they need to be. Front desk people are always helpful and both vets are caring and thorough.”

“Had to bring my dog here. Dr. Konrade was so informative, explained in good detail what was wrong with my dogs eyes. Very nice, very gentle. The technician assisting (I don't remember her name) was so good at what she did to keep my dog calm. Very nice office, very clean, modern. Check in at reception was good. They have the entry and exit separate, which I thought was unique. Pricey, but if you can afford it, definitely recommend.”

“They were able to let me book an appointment same day. Their rates were reasonable. The vet was knowledgeable and didn’t rush in taking time to assess my dog. The staff were nice with processing my requests. Will be coming back.”

“Dr. Chung is a very warm-hearted, bright-aura, confident and reliable female doctor. I don't like lazy doctors, but she is quick to deal with problems and make decisions. She speaks English, Japanese and Korean fluently, which really helped me out when I was panicking at other hospitals. The room temperature was just right. My baby was wrapped in warm cloths and pillows and was able to be hospitalized in a very good environment. There are many cold places in the hospital, like a refrigerator, and my cat gets cold easily, so I was very relieved. I met the receptionist and other doctors, and everyone was kind. I will continue to come here.Thank you so much.”

“I brought my Frenchie here for his exam and last set of vaccines. He was treated with so much love. Elena and Paola in the front desk are wonderful! Elena was thorough on what my pup needed and passed along all my questions to the vet before speaking with him. I will be bringing him here for his care.”
