Veterinarians near Pacific Palisades, CA

“Last week my dog was bitten by a rattle snake badly. I drove her immediately to the vet and they took her in on the spot and got her an anti venom. The bite was so bad she had to be transferred to Malibu vet for 7 days. She’s still recovering but without Dr. Julia and the team I don’t think my pup would have made it. Thanks to all that were involved. I recommend this clinic and there advice to anyone. Thanks palisades pet clinic! Love, lavender and family”

“I am absolutely thrilled with my experience at this clinic! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by an adorable cat named Sherlock at the reception. He has an incredibly calming effect on all the animals that come into the clinic. Not only does Sherlock bring a sense of comfort, but the staff and the vet, Dr. Vlad P., provide top-notch care, making both pets and their owners feel welcome and well looked after.

A special thank you to Dr. Vlad for his friendly and compassionate approach to animals. Let’s be honest—my dog has a difficult personality, and visiting the vet has always been a stressful experience. But to my surprise, I got back a calm and healthy Maltese after a complex dental cleaning and extraction procedure. Dr. Vlad guided us through each step, thoroughly explaining the necessity of the procedures and how they would be performed. He kept me informed about my dog's condition at every stage, which helped ease my own stress as well.

I highly recommend this clinic not only for the welcoming atmosphere they've created for animals, but also for their well-selected staff. In particular, I can’t recommend Dr. Vlad enough for his professionalism and care. Having interacted with many veterinarians in various countries, my experience with Dr. Vlad left a lasting and positive impression on both me and my dog. In him, we not only found an excellent veterinarian but also a friend.”

“I am sorry you are reading this but that means you are trying to ensure you find the best final goodbye for your pet. I want to share my experience to hopefully help ease any of your nerves. We helped my sweet pup cross the rainbow bridge on December 30, 2023 but haven't had the mindset to fully revisit the final goodbye. I called heart and halos a couple times, the first time to was once we were beginning to consider euthanasia and I just wanted information and linh was very sweet. I called two times during the next few weeks to check on their availability until we were really ready to let go. We wanted to wait until after Christmas to enjoy having our sweet boy with us one last time but wanted a back up plan in case we thought he wouldn't make it. I was informed it was an extra $200 on holidays (not eve) but otherwise same price on weekends. We paid around $600 for my baby boy but they have different prices depending on after care packages and pet weight. Overall, linh had a big impact on us deciding on Heart and halos as she was very patient and compassionate. I had called other euthanasia places and they were rude and just wanted to know if you wanted to book now or would hang up. Your receptionist is a big representative of the company. About 15 minutes before our appointment time, we got a phone call from a private number to let us know their ETA. They arrived right at our appointment time, not a minute late. My judgment about the company was not wrong, Dr Susan was very sweet. Once they got to the house, I asked that her assistant wait outside and to only have Dr. Susan come inside after a few minutes while I settled into position with my baby boy. Dr. Susan went above and beyond to make sure my sweet boy did not see her. I held him on my chest sitting on our living room couch as she snuck in and kneeled behind the couch. With him facing the opposite direction, she administered the first injection. The only thing I wish I could have prepared for was that my baby did feel the first shot and it did sting him once it was administered. Nothing on the doctors practice, she even diluted it and gave me an option on how I would like the first shot, IV, IM or SQ. She recommended SQ for less pain and even advised she dilutes it with normal saline as part of her practice. As I registered nurse I know that this can happen with an injection, I just imagine it feels like getting a vaccine- very minimal pain compared to a natural death. Luckily my baby had been receiving sq fluids at the same site of the first sq injection, so my baby probably just thought I was poking him again for give him fluids. My baby boy was deep asleep within ** minutes and did not feel the second shot given intravenous. My baby boy crossed the rainbow bridge knowing he was loved, laying on my chest in the comfort of his own home. The experience of putting your childhood pet to sleep is something no one can truly prepare you for, I miss him everyday. But I rest in comfort knowing I chose the very best service to put him to rest.”

“I have taken my cat to Tarzana Pet Clinic for over 10 years.
I love and trust Dr Hoffman. She is gentle, thorough and caring. She handles Kit, my cat, with kindness, and gets all the tests and necessary procedures done with the least amount of stress. I won't go anywhere else.”

“It is always good to return to Green Dog Dental, always excellent service, everyone is very friendly, Dr. García again thank you very much for your excellent disposition and kindness. I will continue to recommend GDD to everyone”

“The doctors and technicians are always so compassionate and patient. Letty from the front desk is gold stars all the way! Love this office. Been coming here for years.”

“All personnel were very caring and treatment was comprehensive. They texted me a half hour before the vet was ready to see us which saved a lot of time. Excellent service!”

“I highly recommend this place. The doctors have always been friendly and staff cares so much about the animals. I jist moved to LA so these experiences have given me so much piece of mind knowing it’s hard to find a good veterinarian. 10/10”

“From the very first phone call speaking with Richard I was instantly confident that this is where I wanted to take my pet. The front staff is very welcoming and nice. Your office was highly recommended from my neighborhood app. Dr.Molnar was extremely knowledgeable and caring. We are very happy with the services and will continue to bring our pets here”

“This vet is a lifesaver. If it weren't for Jorge I wouldn't have been able to get the much needed care for my fur baby. The doctors and nurses here are very informative, supportive and attentive. Finally found a vet that I can trust and take my fur babies to. I highly recommend this place ?”

“We recently discovered Veterinary Medical Center of Woodland Hills and I’m so glad we did! it’s been wonderful for our family and dog so far. One of our dogs needed surgery and we visited two other vet offices beforehand for evaluations— One was too far away and the other seemed to overcharge on everything. Dr. Nardi graciously took us in for an evaluation and ultimately performed surgery without any complications and our dog’s recovery was an easy experience. I’d like to note that this veterinarian office is also very kind-hearted, honest, and ethical. We’ve been to several of their vets in the past who seemed to be primarily focused on money. This is a great vets office and our dog approves!”

“I couldn't have imagined a better experience for my beloved Henry. The staff were beyond kind and helpful, and patient and knowledgeable. The facility was comfortable and clean and inviting. They even offered coffee, and sweet waiting rooms. I felt cared for and truly valued as a customer. The surgeon and nurse took over an hour, sitting on the floor explaining the options and different procedures and risks. I never waited more than 10 minutes, and they were beyond accommodating. With all they did to him, he came out looking like he lost a bar fight, and it likely should've cost a mortgage payment, but it was incredibly reasonable. My friend thought it would be double. They were up front about all the costs and explained everything afterwards. I almost want to cry writing this, they took a really scary situation and made me feel so special.. My lil dude too. We will be eternally grateful and loyal to them.. our new fur-ever vet. Thanks Dr. Faro and Amanda and the whole crew!!! xoxo”

“Thank you to the women of VCA for taking care of my fur baby on such short notice. I called this location, because my regular vet was closed, immediately after my dog got an eye injury during a routine grooming appointment and the staff here was super friendly, attentive, efficient and transparent. They were able to see us immediately and took good care of him.Puffy and I are grateful.”

“We have been taking our two dogs and two cats to Pasternak now for five years. Pastornak is amazing. He always does his best to find the solution. They are very reasonably priced and we love love love this location for non-emergency situation.. it is also very easy to get in the same day without an appointment. If you call ahead highly recommend this location if you’re in the West LA area.”

“Dr Wiley, Sarah, Ann and the entire staff are amazing, compassionate and caring people. They will love your dog as much as you do. They will give you options that are financially thoughtful and the best approach for the care of your pet.”

“Ive been going here for years. They've given my brand new kittens their shots, they gave my oldest his final exam. You can trust them. I can afford their care. In the end, that's all that matters to me. Recommended.”

“Dr. Nassi and his staff are the best, to put it simply. He and the team have always been attentive and caring with my two cats, and Dr. Nassi has a great sense of humor as well. I love that this is my neighborhood Vet Clinic, and I think everybody would be lucky to have such an establishment around.”

“Great staff. Efficient and kind service. Wonderful people all around.

Update 10/19: took my dog today and Dr. Goss treated her. He remembered her from her last visit a year ago. He is patient and informative. The team here is so caring. We know our pets are in good hands.”

“Excellent care and service. This is the second time I have had to use them when my regular vet could not accommodate and I will be back. I especially appreciate that they bill directly to my Pet insurance company Trupanion.”

“McGrath is a great vet center. Dr Miller is my vet and I really trust her. She cares about her clients and really extremely kind and gentle - great bedside manner which I feel is very important. She took care of my beloved little cat Mimi whom I adore more than anything. Paolo is an incredible vet tech, he truly loves and cares about animals and I always know my cats are in good hands with him. The office super communicative and easy to book an appointment - even if its last minute.”

“The best. Dr Kirby has been treating our allergic dog for years. She’s amazing. She spends the time to examine her closely and explain all the treatment options as many times as it takes. Knows everything including all the latest studies and treatments. Easy to schedule with especially in the post covid vet shortage. And most importantly cares about her patients. We end up seeing her way more than our primary care vet for all these reasons and more.”

“We are so grateful for the excellent care we've received from Dr. Blair and the team at T.H.E. Cat Hospital in MDR, it's a whole new experience coming here. They saved our boy, Chewbacca, an adult Maine Coon who was very sick with an intestinal disease for many months. And now are giving great care to an adult Maine Coon mix, a shelter rescue we recently adopted. Their knowledge and capability, combined with the care and compassion, are unbeatable.”

“Had our very first pet check-up for our cockatiel! Staff was approachable. Ashley assisted us and she was super nice, professional and accommodating! She made sure everything was prepared for the doctor before she came in to check Peanut (our bird) and she made sure everything was explained to us before we left the appointment. Pricing is very reasonable as well! On top of that Dr Berens was so nice, she covered all the information needed and answered all of our concerns. Definitely will come back for our next appointment!”

“I cannot say enough thank you to Dr. Lim and Animal Wellness Center for the incredible care they provided for our very senior dog, Mook. He was suddenly diagnosed with severe kidney disease, and our previous vet recommended either euthanasia or trying hospitalization at an emergency hospital. However, due to his heart murmur, there was a concern that his heart wouldn’t hold up under the stress of IV fluids. We were looking for a private clinic rather than a big corporate vet, so we decided to visit Animal Wellness Center, which also offers acupuncture.

Dr. Lim suggested a unique approach of daytime-only hospitalization during office hours. While we were worried about Mook’s heart, we trusted Dr. Lim, who took the time to explain everything thoroughly.

Thanks to their incredible care, Mook has recovered well, and now, five months later, he’s still running around happily. We know our time with him may be limited, but we’re so grateful for the extra time we’ve had with him—time that we wouldn’t have had if we had gone the other route. We are truly thankful for the compassionate care we received here.”

“Very nice veterinary office. The staff are really nice and welcoming. Dr Forsythe is great, so down to earth. I feel very comfortable taking both our cats here and am happy with my experience.”

“Amazing Service!! My dog is a very scared baby when he sees any vet. He's the dog known everywhere to snap at people lol. He went in to the exam shaking and came out calm. That's when I knew Dr Tsugawa was great energy :) I warned Dr Tsugawa's staff prior to him going in for the exam, that my dog may not let him look in his mouth but Dr Tsugawa was the only person my dog has ever willingly let look. My dog had dental surgery today. I dropped him off at 10am. Around lunch I received texts from Dr Tsugawa of the the X-rays and his thoughts. He phoned soon after to clarify and see if I had any questions. We went ahead with the procedure. I received a text as soon as my dog was awake and normal around 12.30pm. At 2pm I picked him up. He was alert but a little unwell, as expected. Dr Tsugawa came out to speak to me, his staff clearly and slowly explained the medication to me and I was good to go home. I liked that Dr Tsugawa only wanted my dog on one medication for a few days for the pain/swelling rather than having a bunch of medications, which other vets always seem to prescribe after surgeries. The entire process start to finish was so smooth, clearly communicated and my dog is now at home resting and on the mend. Even at home I texted Dr Tsugawa a few questions and he responded promptly. I want to thank Dr Tsugawa and his team for the great service. I have already recommended you to friends.”

“An excellent clinic! My cat does not like strangers, especially vets, and gets very aggressive. They were very patient and conscious of not exasperating his negative associations with going to the vet. They were transparent about everything and the price was very reasonable.”

“I had a senior cat that I took here 4 years ago and her skin condition was resolved. Fast forward to this year, I take 6 year old Lulu in because she has dermatology issues. This is the only vet I literally trust with my cat. ?”

“I absolutely love the staff and love Dr Krieger! Super super helpful and knowledgeable and available. The ONLY reason I don’t give it a full 5 stars is bc, on rare occasions, they overbook and can get backed up (and can be hard to know what services to pay for at times). But they are still my vet of choice in the area. Good people.”

“An excellent veterinarian practice. Kind, considerate and thoughtful. Would love to see it expanded to include emergency treatment. Dr Holly and Heather always put the health of my dogs first, without breaking the bank. An honest practice I highly recommend.”
