Veterinarians in Torrance, CA

“Everyone at Plaza Del Amo Animal Hospital, especially the Pet Keepers are really friendly, helpful, understanding and patient. We have a 19 year old cat who is not socialized and they always welcome her and treat her.”

“I think I have just found my new vet!! Dr. Norby is wonderful!! She sat on the floor with my dog the entire exam! My poor baby is almost 15 yrs old and has arthritis in her back. She did the most thorough exam I think I've ever had. She offered me multiple options to help with some of the concerns I had. She even prioritized things for me and wasn't pushy about doing all of it now knowing that I don't have a lot of money. She really seems to care about the animals and really wants people to help their animals the best they can. They are also reasonably priced. I will be recommending her to everyone! Thanks Dr. Norby”

“This place is a miracle at a very reasonable price. Be ready to communicate clearly what exactly is going on with your cat and how often, and be ready for your cat to be taken care of by a vet who will take good care of your cat and still leave you with enough money to feed your furry friend.”

“Dr. Abigail Elliot and the Country Hills team are the best! Not only do they lovingly care for my own indoor cats, they recently helped us with an outdoor stray cat that we had unofficially adopted.

Curly Boy showed up on our doorstep night after night for months. He had no collar, and it seemed as though he was abandoned. For over a year, we fed him and even housed him in our heated front porch cathouse. He would spend all of his time in our yard and cuddling with us on our outdoor couch. We came to love him very much, as if he was our own.

One day came that we noticed he was injured and had a bad limp, so we made the decision to bring him inside in order to protect him from predators. We made an appointment with Dr. Elliot to have him examined later in the week. Meanwhile, he spent his days filled resting in comfort on our bed and watching TV with us. He adapted to indoor life well and he was living the life of Riley. Slowly, but surely getting better.

We brought him to Dr. Elliot and she carefully examined him, finding that he had improved since we had brought him inside. While we were there, we wanted to have him scanned for a microchip as well. He had seemed domesticated, we knew he was fixed, but all other signs led us to believe he had been abandoned. Sure enough, he had a chip!

As it turned out, he HAD been abandoned… although, not intentionally. His name was Kylo and his owners once lived on the next street over from us. He had gone missing two years prior, and sadly the owners had to move away 6 months after that. For us, that was around the time he started hanging around more often. Poor little guy was homeless, so he latched onto us tightly.

Anyway, Dr. Elliot spent a good amount of time examining Curly Boy a.k.a. Kylo, she offered medical advice, and helped us locate the long-lost owners. She even allowed us to wait past closing time to meet with the owners, and all of it was free of charge.

It’s very clear to us that Dr. Elliot cares deeply about animals. She is very professional and compassionate. I will always trust her with my fur babies. Thank you Dr. Elliot & Team!

P.S. As for the owners, they were shocked to discover that he was alive and well. He had belonged to a 12 year-old girl, who was devastated when he went missing. The girl is 14 now, and she cried tears of joy to have her Kylo back. It was a very happy ending for Kylo and his girl! ♥️”

“Reception people are very nice. Technician that cared for Max was very caring. In the past, I've dealt with Dr. Lee and Dr. Veit. They are very kind as well. Thank you Western Veterinary Group, Dr. Mike would be so proud that his legacy lives on.”

“I recently had a heart-wrenching experience when my beloved cat fell from the balcony and unfortunately did not survive. In the midst of this tragedy, the team at Ohana Veterinary Clinic provided an extraordinary level of care and compassion that I will never forget.

From the moment I arrived, they sprang into action, doing everything within their power to save my cat. Despite the devastating outcome, their dedication and professionalism were evident in every step they took. The staff treated my cat with the utmost care and respect, ensuring she was comfortable and surrounded by love in her final moments.

Beyond their medical expertise, the empathy and support they extended to me were truly remarkable. They offered a comforting presence, patiently explaining every detail and helping me navigate the overwhelming grief. Their genuine concern and kind words provided solace during one of the most difficult times of my life.

I am profoundly grateful to everyone at Ohana Veterinary Clinic for their unwavering efforts and heartfelt compassion. They are a team of true professionals who go above and beyond for both their patients and their families. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking a veterinary clinic that combines exceptional care with genuine humanity.

Thank you, Ohana Veterinary Clinic, for being there when we needed you the most. Your kindness will always be remembered.”

“I can't say enough about the amazing team at BARC. My senior French Bulldog Kirby goes for physical therapy and acupuncture and they have provided top notch care. She recently had an IVDD flare up and bounced right back which I believe is due to the care she has received during preventative PT and accupuncture sessions. It's amazing to see my dog getting bursts of puppy energy due to the program here. Everyone on staff is always so perceptive to the pets' needs as they evolve. The entire team is also simply wonderful, caring, and kind. They have created a very positive environment. Thank you BARC!”

“The smartest vet. Has excellent skills and doggy communication skills to understand whats going on with my dogs.So sad Dr Paula has left Ca, greener pastures you know.Out of business now”

“I have never met Dr. Fahrer in person since we started visiting here in the pandemic, but she has diagnosed and cared for my dog’s two eye problems and she and the staff there have been very kind and helpful. My dog’s eyes looked terrible and were itchy even though We had seen two vets for his eyes prior, but once we went to Eye Care for Animals, he was diagnosed and has drops that have improved him to the point that his eyes look good and don’t seem to bother him any longer. Much appreciated! They are only in Torrance on Monday just FYI.”

“Alex and his team of champions are the best-of-the-best in animal care. They have taken care of my beloved Oliver on and off for all of his life. They are some of Oliver’s and my life’s heroes.”

“Dr High was the only vet that could get my dogs severe skin allergies under control. He had reoccurring bacterial and yeast infections on his belly and in his ears. Dr High was able to step by step eliminate and test and learn via medications the right combination for my pup. Couldn't be more thankful for her!”

“This place is great! I have been taking my dog here since the pandemic! I just wish they would notify their clients of price changes. We used to get free nail trims with any visit. Now we have to pay $39 for a nail trim and no one told me anything about it until I wondered why my bill was so high. ? I guess I'll take her back to Petsmart for nail trims. At least I know its $20”

“Wonderful and professional grooming department!Kimberly is an incredible groomer and is known for her expertise in grooming Schnauzers.My Miniature Schnauzer, Moby, was a training model here for two years. Every grooming trainee did an amazing job, largely due to Kim's kindhearted leadership and expertise.Torrance Petco grooming sets the standard for professionalism.”

“The staff is always helpful and friendly. I can tell they love their job by how they take care of my Bobo. The doctors make sure every procedure and post instructions are understandable.”

“I have been bringing my pets to this office for approximately nine years, and I have always appreciated the ease of scheduling appointments and the convenience of Saturday hours. However, I would like to suggest that the office address the issue with the air conditioning, as the small floor fans do not sufficiently alleviate the heat. This has led to discomfort for both my pets and me due to the humidity. Additionally, I have noticed that prices have increased and are now less affordable. Despite these concerns, I want to commend the vet nurses and technicians for consistently making my pets feel comfortable.”

“I was able to get an appointment within an hour which was great for my Yorkie and such a relief to me. She was seen and thoroughly checked for her vomiting issue. The dr. provided her with everything she needed and did everything she could to help my doggie. When we left I felt confident that my doggie was going to be ok (and she was). So happy Bay Cities was there!”

“I was very impressed by both the quality of the customer service and the speed they saw us at, even though we showed up at 10:30pm. Our cat had what looked like a seizure or a stroke and we called them, hoping there wait wasn't multiple hours. They said the current wait was 3-4 hrs but for an emergency they'd try to get him evaluated immediately and take it from there. Dr. Nivison and Sandra at the front desk couldn't have been nicer. We were there for only 90 minutes start to finish, even though they told us they had reached capacity with critically ill patients and were turning away less serious cases (which Sandra said happened only once or twice a year). Plus, the fee was only $195 for the visit, which shocked us, as we had no idea what to expect. True, they didn't do any expensive tests, but you never know when you're at an emergency vet and we've been charged many times more than that elsewhere.

The cat has a condition which will probably come back so we're glad to know there's a reliable emergency vet not far away, with reasonable prices and excellent care.”
