It's Dr. Barrett. I wish we would have met him a long time ago. Trixie had some issues with her teeth and found Canyon. As with any veterinarian clinic, it costs extra for "emergency" visits. Thankfully we were not in that mode. We made a 1st time appointment brought her in and the teeth were cleaned and a tooth was removed. Dr. Barrett explained the whole thing up front. No B.S. and a very nice "bedside manners". Thank you Dr. Barrett again for our 3rd visit just to pick up meds for 4th of July anxiety. My dogs do not like fireworks. They shake, require holding and comforting for several hours while the population attempts to light off every firework that came off off the largest container ships that came into the Port. After the meds, Lola's stress reduced by 97% while Trixie was at least 90% until our neighbors started launching mortars in the street out front, bringing the experience to a whole new level. We didn't call em, but somebody did. And the show ended prematurely, and that was ok with us. We adopted Lola a few months ago. She going to get a cleaning soon. Dr. Barrett did a super job on Trixe, and after 3 visits (it actually only took one) if someone asks me where to go? Easy, Canyon Veterinarian Hospital!

Our family would like to extend our gratitude and love to Canyon veterinarian hospital, Dr. Barrett and his entire staff for always showing such compassion, love and understanding when it came to our fur baby Ginger. Dr. Barrett always took in consideration of Ginger's age and her health conditions while evaluating her over the years. He was never quick to over medicate, over charge or recommended excessive procedures that were unnecessary for Ginger. Dr. Barrett always took the time to explain the pros and cons when it came to making decisions regarding Ginger's health care. When Ginger became very sick and Dr. Barrett couldn't do much more for her we knew it was time for us to help her cross the rainbow. Dr. Barrett's staff, Mary, Donna & Pamela were amazing and compassionate during this difficult time. They were very helpful & gave us the referrals to where we could bring Ginger to crosse the rainbow in peace. Dr. Barrett does not do cremation at his office, so it was very helpful to have the referrals. We chose VEG SAN RAMON. They were amazing as well. Run free Ginger

Look no further for the right veterinarian!Call Donna at the front desk and she will help book an appointment for your needs. We were looking for a new clinic to take our beloved dog, Trixie. She had dental issues that were effecting her quality of life. After meeting with Dr. Barrett, I was convinced we had found our new Doctor. The work has been completed, and now the healing process. Thank you Donna and Dr. Barrett. My wife and I appreciate what you’ve done for Trixie. You’ve given us piece of mind. Thank you.

Dr. Barrett is one of the nicest veterinarians I have ever been to. My dog was completely happy for her yearly exam - super low-stress environment. The staff was also calm and quiet. It's obvious everyone enjoys their work here. We were in and out in a timely manner. Parking in a huge lot for the shopping center. Super clean facility. I will say that Dr. B stikes me as the type of vet that loves animals, and that is his first priority. The last vet practice we were at was great if you are the type that wants every possible test run on your animal, and appreciate a large practice with many multiple vets, an ER, a pharmacy, latest tech, etc. It was definitely a different atmosphere! Canyon is a small practice. It seems like everyone there cares. It's clean and neat. We highly recommend it!

Just returned from a second visit to Canyon for our chihuahua/jack russell mix rescue. Sadly, she was diagnosed with congestive heart failure, but Dr. Barrett put her on some highly effective heart medications. In just three days, I can tell my sweet girl is feeling better. I hope the medication continues to work, so we can postpone saying goodbye for as long as possible. At our prior veterinary hospital, a brief exam would be followed by an expensive list of diagnostic testing. I always left feeling guilty, like I couldn't really afford proper care for my dog. I'm so grateful to my friend who recommended Canyon.

I was looking for a new vet to replace mine who retired. So glad I found Dr. Bennett!! He's a great doctor! So many vets these days insist running $2-3k in tests before they will treat a dog who has an obvious bad heart mumur and is in heart failure. The tests won't change anything but your pocket book. With Dr. Bennett you don't have to choose between going broke or putting your dog down. He's kind, gentle, and very knowledgable. He is a treasure! Highly recommend!! Rudy is a senior dog who was an abused neglected dog and a rescue. He's having a quality life now and time to know there are people who love animals thanks to Dr. Bennett.

I was tired of vets that only want to get rich off their clients. I wanted a vet who would treat my dog without running $2k-$4k in tests before they will treat your dog. Dr. Barrett did a couple of test that were nominal and then perscribed a few drugs to treat my chihauhau who has heart failure. Rudy is a 12-13 year old rescue dog. he had been abused his 1st 9 years and I wanted him to have the best last years he could. He had been coughing all day long and I took him to a different vet who first said he needed and abuterol inhaller. Then they wanted a heart function test for 299.00. Then they wanted an EKG and a canine cardiologist to read the results, etc etc etc. Dr. Barrett listened to his heart, looked at the 1 test result's and prescribed heart meds, blood pressure meds, and a duretic. Now Rudy is running round, and enjoying his last couple of years. The other vet and their $2k-$4k in tests would have had Rudy put to sleep because I couldn't afford the cost. Shame on them and their greed! Thank God for Dr. Barrett!!!!

Doctor Barrett is the best vet I've ever been too. He's able to immediately hone in on the issue and he has a very gentle rapport with the scared pets. I came here from another local vet practice and I'm glad I switched. Dr. Barrett for life!

I have been on the hunt for a new Vet for my Great Dane, who is a senior and has all the typical big dog medical issues. His current vet moved out of the state and, as an employee at a handful of vets in my 20's, I don't trust many places. I scheduled an appointment - easy enough. My immediate impression at the appointment was not great, however, as I was waiting in the exam room, the first thing I hear from the vet before he comes in is, "Holy moly, look at this guy's record!" Likely implying the length of my dog's record. I had this appointment scheduled for weeks because they were booked out. I had his records sent timely. I expressed when scheduling my appointment that my dog has a very extensive record and sees SAGE specialists. To hear that his vet seeing him that day had not even taken a look at his record until approximately 20 minutes after my scheduled appointment was not a great feeling. I liked the vet that I saw, until realizing that he didn't even really touch my dog outside of pets and checking his heart (he has a heart condition), but this should be the standard bare minimum. He made several promises that he will review his record thoroughly and give me a call - I have yet to hear from him and I had that appointment Monday last week. Still paid the exam price (with new client discount - thank goodness), which 100% did not feel worth it. I do think that this vet is knowledgeable, however, as his views align with the new vet that I ended up choosing. I didn't like a story that he shared about how clients mishear things vets say sometimes - which absolutely happens and I know well enough. But he said this in response to me explaining what a vet (who misdiagnosed my dog in 2019) said about my dog's kidneys after a couple of tests. If he had went through my dog's records properly, he might not have told me a story that doesn't have anything to do with my situation. My dog liked him well enough. The staff was nice. I would have appreciated if the vet would have asked if it was okay to reschedule this appointment since he very clearly was not prepared. He and the staff knew my goal, which was to find a new vet close to home, outside of his specialists. In my opinion, it didn't seem like they cared enough to keep me and my dog as long term clients. I only go to vets that come recommended to me, so there are great reviews of this place by a trusted acquaintance over at Companion. However, I just found it wasn't for me or my dog. 3 stars simply for the knowledge that the vet has and the friendly and nice staff. Would probably recommend this place for those that don't have an extensive record for their dog. Side note - This is also a vet that handwrites everything, which I try to avoid at this point, as I constantly have heard from the specialists we see regularly that it can be impossible to read their notes.

Dr Barrett is an amazing vet, because he takes the time to observe, to explain, and he does not push treatments that most vet offices (the corporate ones who have profitability - not animal welfare- in mind) are happy to recommend regardless of the advanced age of the animal. There are a lot of dog owners in his waiting room, but I see Dr Barrett for my 2 guinea pigs. Not many vets bother about guinea pigs. (it's not profitable, right?) I feel very lucky that an acquaintance (who herself has dogs and cats) gave me Dr Barrett's name when I told her I needed to find a knowledgeable and kind vet for my "unusual"pets: Dr B. is that doctor.

Dr. Barrett and Mary were superb at caring for our precious little Charlie. He is on the mend healing very well from his neutered surgery. He is back to being adventurous again. Dr. Barrett and Mary were very nice and kind people.

They have been so wonderful with us and our pups. One of our dogs had a major surgery and they were amazing taking care of him and keeping us informed.
