“Dr. A (Andrew Arriola) and the whole staff at Animal Hospital of South Bay is wonderful. I brought my dog, Sophie, a 7 year old maltese-shih tzu, here after leaving my previous vet, just for a routine checkup as well as to observe a cough she had developed. He diagnosed her that day with heart disease which was obviously a shock as she had been nothing but healthy according to our previous vet. He took X-rays and showed us everything and walked us through it all.
As a puppy, we were told by our previous vet that she had a heart murmur but to bring her in every 6 months for a check up so they could continue to keep an eye on it. We thought they were monitoring it but according to Dr. A, they were not. This was extremely jarring to hear but Dr. A was very reassuring that with proper medication (that we started immediately) and seeking a cardiologist, we could delay her heart failure. Throughout this whole process Dr. A understood our surprise, sadness, and frustrations and did an amazing job at educating and comforting me and my family.
After following the proper protocol and doing everything we could for Sophie to ensure she was comfortable, we unfortunately made the decision to euthanize and, when we did, Dr. A and his staff were extremely supportive. After her passing, we received a card signed by all the staff members which meant a lot. Although we lost Sophie, Dr. A was able to buy us invaluable time with her that we wouldn't have gotten had we never gone to him and stayed at our previous vet -- grateful doesn't even begin to cover it.”

I also appreciate his prices and not over charging. Walk in clinics can be tricky just make sure you come right when they open or at 2 after the lunch break.”

The waiting room was comfortable. i ended up taking my pet to another hospital because they did not have a neurologist on site that day, and they very kindly waived the charge for the initial exam. would absolutely go there again for emergency needs.”

14700 Hawthorne Blvd, Lawndale“Last week my dog started screaming in pain, barely moved, would hide in corners shaking. I took her to a pet hospital but they gave me some random medication and a list of random things they thought it could be for an expensive price, they also said she had a heart murmur and gave no medication or advice. No help at all she was still the same. After a few days I took her to Lawndale pet hospital, they probably diagnosed her issue, also gave us medication to help her heart issue, and the next morning after she came home she was in a bit of pain but after we gave her her medication she was starting to act like normal! I want to thank the staff for helping me with my Minnie! She means the world to me and I'm glad she's doing soo much better!”
