Our Great Pyrenees was constantly licking his paw, to the point where it was very hot and red. He was also creating hot spots on his rear leg. We went to our "regular" vet who tried to help but did not diagnosis anything, was ineffective and could not see us again for awhile. So we called Foothill Farms. Got in to see the Vet that day, who quickly diagnosed the problem and prescribed a course of treatment that treated the infection and underlying condition. the rpices for visit and tratment were reasonable. The vet answered all our questions during the course of treatment and the office followed up on the care, providing us with a free follow-up visit to make sure all was OK. I can say that we now have a new regular vet! Thank you to all the staff there!

Great service, except Robbin at the front desk is very unprofessional. I had 2 interrupt her conversation with someone else in order 2 receive service, and the other person she was talking 2 was looking at me apologetically and trying 2 talk over her 2 help me. While we were waiting she was telling a client about another clients personal health problems. She tried 2 tell my wife we didnt need to use as much of a medication that the doctor had prescribed which seemed odd 2 me. Everyones service is fantastic and we liked our vet both times which is what really matters, but it seemed like this receptionist was out of place as every one else was so gracious. Well be back for sure!

Wonderful wonderful place. I believe in raising my dogs naturally. Never once were vaccinations forced on me (besides I go to county for their $6 vaccinations anyway) and I was never given lip about raw feeding. I took my old man here to be neutered. He is notorious for nipping without warning. Doctor went very slow and my dog was ok. Yes the receptionists are rude (or one of them is) and there is no front lawn but it is all worth it for my dogs comfort and a great doctor. This place is also cheaper than Del Paso. I was not charged for ward use here even though my dog was there from opening till closing (My newest dog was at DP for 2 hours and I was charged.)

The facility isnt the fanciest, but I like that because I want to keep the cost low. The more important thing is that its clean, safe, and the staff are friendly. Our family pet went to this vet for all her health related treatments and all her grooming. The staff always knew her by name and were dependable. We took her in a few times for issues where the vet could have recommended some really expensive treatment and drum up business for himself. Instead, he suggested easy at home remedies to relieve problems.

We have been bringing our pets to Foothill Farms Veterinary Hospital since 1988. We have had both dogs and cats and all have been treated well, Ive never had a problem getting an appointment or being seen in a reasonable amount of time. Prices are reasonable. All the staff has been friendly and knowledgeable. When my pets had a problem , it was always diagnosed and treated correctly. I highly recommend this veterinary hospital.

The place is clean but i have it one star because the prices are high and the whole time i was there for my dogs check up the office manager kept trying to convince me to give my dog and abortion because i might not be able to find homes for them and it gives animals in shelters a better chance to get adopted,i was very offended and expected them to care more for animals than that.

All of the folks at Foothill Farms Veterinary Hospital are caring people. They have taken care of our cat on numerous occasions. We have been going to them for over 15 years. Recently our cat stayed at the "Cat Condo Hotel". He is spoiled there and loves it!!! Thanks to everyone from Tiger and his parents.

Too expensive... Go in to get a refill of ear drops for my Golden Retriever and they tried to convince me that I should do $400 worth of tests and vitamin shots. Every time I go in there, they always try to get me to spend an extra $300-400. These people will nickel-and-dime you and take every cent they can.

Everyone here is very nice, they have great patience. The overall environment makes me feel at home, the new facility is a great upgrade to the quality of service you recieve at this place. I have recieved service above and beyond what my cat, Benjamin, needed and will recommend Dr. Malek to everyone!

I have used Dr. Maleks services since 1997. He has assisted me in the care of many animals including cats, dogs, chickens, skunks, and even one time a love bird. I cannot imagine going elsewhere. He is kind, loving, and sincere with the animals. Thank you for all you have done for our family.

We have brought our pets here for over 10 years. The staff is knowledgeable and skilled, and the facility is very clean. I love to see the windows of cats waiting for adoption. Be sure to get a cost estimate in advance of services, and check to make sure the final bill matches the estimate.

My cat had diabetes and a failing liver. He was near death. They kept him two days in the hospital and he was his old self when he came back. Since then weve started him on insulin and hes doing very well. They saved his life! They have never steered me wrong and I highly recommend them.

Weve been clients for over 12 years. Our baby Hercules was with them from birth to the end of his life on Tuesday. The Doctors and staff have always been great. Thank you for all your care. This vet makes a difference and really cares for their patients and owners too.

Been going to Dr Malick since he started at Foot Hill Farms, Now theyve moved to a stellar office. Dog waiting room, cat waiting room. Exam rooms for both dogs and cats. Theres an area they have kitties adoptions. I would never consider taking my fur babies any where else.

Best vets in the area! Dr. Malek has been there for my dog through thick and thin. Never tries to sell us on unnecessary supplies/tests, only what is in the true best interest of my pup. Wouldnt take her anywhere else!

Sadly my experience with these guys is not a good one. The office manager there was very rude and I would not give them any of my business based on the level of unprofessionalism shown by her.
