They are amazing! We brought in a community cat with a severe left paw injury. Amputation was needed and the original quote they gave us was way more than we could afford. The other option was to put him down. We just didnt have the money to make it happen, my partner and I were in tears. The doctor asked us to wait a minute while she spoke with the medical director. She came back and quoted us a price with a significant reduction, basically just covering their expenses. We were able to put this unexpected expense on our credit card and the community cat known as Bootsy was saved, he now is known in the neighborhood as Tipsy Boots. He gets around just fine on three legs, he is still a part of the community and a daily diner on our porch. The entire VCA Los Altos team pitched in to get him back to health, everyone went out of their way! We are externally grateful for their compassion and care. They are now our only choice for our animals care and we have a lot of animals.

I adopted a dog from Long Beach Animal Control/ SPCA, and they sent him to VCA Los Altos to be neutered. I must say that my two interactions with them have been extremely positive. I paid for the extra pain meds after surgery, and when they gave me Rimadyl I declined (Based on many bad experiences with my old dog and others at the shelter where I volunteered ) and asked for something else. The technician was totally understanding and respectful, and arranged for a different option--which I appreciated. Based on the unfortunate passing of my 14 year-old dog a few weeks ago, I am looking for a new veterinarian. Even though VCA is not close to home, I think they will be Jeffreys new vet thanks to these very positive experiences. (I just hope they are not too expensive, and dont try to nickel-and-dime me, as another review claimed!) One last note: this is the cleanest animal facility I have visited in years, with no bad smells. Thanks folks!

This is the best place to bring a pet. My grandson and I brought our new little Jack Russell for her first exam and it was great. The staff was warmly welcoming and took an interest in our puppy. The vet was excellent as was the support staff. We brought her in again for her second visit and it went so well. We had a different vet this time and were very pleased with him, also, Dr. Ameti. They discovered a small problem, called and had meds ready to pick up. They also called after the first visit to see how Shasta was. It shows their interest in the pets health. I have 2 Cairn terriers aged 7 and 8 and I intend to take them in for their health visits. I am so happy to have VCA Los Altos Animal Hospital for my pets and would recommend it highly to anyone looking for care for their animals.

I was skeptical at first, but the staff are excellent.. I had an appointment for a later time but arrived super early. They took me in right away even though I was informed I may have to wait until my scheduled appt. Jessica, the assistant (?) Was really sweet and helplful. Dr. Ameti, loved him. HeS not a "bs tell me what I wanna hear" type of doc. He was straightforward with me about my leroy and his condition. As well as gentle. This may be the place I go back to for all of my cats needs.

Thee Best Animal Hospital ever! Friendly staff treated my cats with such great care. Female director/veterinarian is Awesome! Your given options on treatments as oppose to other hospitals that quickly jump to suggesting expensive surgeries. My babies (cats) even recieve birthday cards from VCA los altos. I highly recommend this animal hospital.

Absolutely love this place. I was worried as to where to take my pitbull mix and Dr. Emily has gone above and beyond to help her. Cookie has several issues that has led to surgery and our doctor has been available to us 24/7 through phone. Very convenient and flexible hours.

Had my first appointment today and it went fine. I felt that the doctor was being honest with me and didnt order up extra tests or treatments that my cat didnt need. Ill certainly keep going back.

A Private User

Tried to bait and switch. "Accidently" left the most expensive test off the estimate. She said she couldnt understand why I was upset. Incompetent or dishonest, either way I wasnt happy. STAY AWAY!!

Some of the employees seem very excited about the pets that come in. I chose this place to take care of my puppys vaccinations because of their enthusiasm.

All I can say is...if you have any other options, take them~! They overcharge like crazy and really have no passion for their sick patients~!
