If I could put zero stars I would! WORST VETS! How did they get their jobs? How hasnt this place shut down? God give me answers. First off we took my dog Bcuz we noticed he kept crying and crying and his body would curve a certain way. They gave him medication, we figured it would work, no, went back gave him a stronger medication & sed he would be so much better after this, no, took him back! Asked them the options Bcuz they obviously cant figure it out & told us hes gonna have to have surgery on his knee that would be $2,000 dollars. We wanted a second opinion and took him to the one on Cross. And took X-rays, right away the vet knew it had nothing to do with his knees or anything with his back legs. It was infection in his tummy. Imagine if we did that pointless thousand dollar surgery to get nothing fixed?? Another situation! We took my other dog there in January, I repeat January, she was peeing blood & had crystals in her bladder & told us we needed to get her into surgery. Took her in for surgery & they stitched her up. We asked when we needed to bring her back to get the stitches out & they sed "these stitches will dissolve on their own" here we are now end of July stitches still here. We bring her to the one on cross because why would we bring our dog back here, and they told us the stitches were stainless steel & needed to be removed a long time ago! They were stuck in her skin & that the surgery wasnt even needed, she couldve had antibiotics to make them dissolve! Thank god for the vets on cross. If u want ur dogs to be in a worse situation then they are, dont EVER bring them here! Looking into what can happen now! ):<

Horrible service from the vet! Only giving one star because I absolutely have to. The female veterinarian (who never introduced herself so I dont know her name) was pretty much cold-hearted and without empathy. When I asked her questions about the estimate she gave me, which was for blood work for my cat, she just told me she couldnt help me until I agreed to the blood test. When she went inside, her assistant was serving as an intermediary while adding on all kinds of treatments to the quote (Why didnt she just talk to me herself?). I asked if she could give me a little discount if I got all the exams done (getting close to $400 for tests I still had no answers to), and she called me unreasonable... A simple no would have sufficed. What took the cake was when the vet was alone with me and told me she couldnt help me and told me to leave. I asked her to be a little more empathetic since this has never happened to my cat before and that just because she didnt care about my cat, I did. She said, "Dont you dare say that! This is my livelihood!" while pointing her finger at me less than 5 inches from my face. I was already in tears by that point and I just felt more distraught after that. Plus, I was backed into the corner so I felt even more threatened. All in all, I do not recommend going to this vet clinic unless you and your pet want to be verbally abused.

I took my cat that wasnt even a year old in to see the vet because he hurt his back leg, and refused to walk at all. I told the vet that he had fleas (we live in the country) and that he was extremely sensitive to the flea shampoos (we could only leave it on for 1minute) he was extremely lethargic for a week afterwards, so we use dawn dish soap. So they vet blamed his injury on the fleas. After insisting on an xray they took it and he had a slight fracture in his upper thigh. They have him capstar to get the fleas off and told me he wouldnt have the same reaction. We had also bought revolution for our other cats. The vet put the flea drops on my cat without thinking of his allergy. When they brought him back to us I think he was having a seizure in the office but they ignored it and have him pain meds. We took him home and he died about 3 hrs. later from a seizure that was caused by the flea drops.

The vet was very rough with our cat. Then gave us the option of paying $1,800 or putting him down. Told us that he was so sick that he would probably die even with treatment. We refused both of their options and took him to another vet. Over 3 years later our cat is still alive and well today at 18 years old. However this vets office has now fradulently billed us for services that were not received. We are looking into our legal options and will be reporting this vet to the veterinary board. Several vets work at this office and Im sure some of them are wonderful however the vet that we had this terrible experience with is actually the owner of the facility. Beware.

They are overpriced and claim to be a hospital, but have wait times longer than a normal emergency room...they open up at 7:30 and evidently their entire morning staff is no qualified to even look at an injured dog, they have to wait til the Dr comes in hours later to do anything. Very incompetent people... Lindsay vet is way better and they are on top of their stuff. Tulare vet "hospital" seems to cater to people who have lots of money and nothing but time on their hands and have animals that dont have serious issues that need immediate attention.

I love this place! Staff Id very friendly and caring! Jennifer and Monique make it very easy to talk to them and schedule appointments or ask questions. Ive always felt welcome. They take care of my pets and my needs. For a dfew years we struggled with what was wrong with my dog and they recommended doing a allergy panel, and it found out that his allergies were the cause of all of it! It make me laugh seeing my Apollo run and hide behind me when the vet comes in lol. Its like he knows.....hehee

Awesome clinic. I took my puppy that I adopted from the pound who was sick when we go him. They examined him and fixed him right up. He was lethargic, nauseous, and just plain feeling bad. He is a 3 month old jack Russell so I knew something was wrong. After two days of antibiotics my boy was up and running around. The price was just right and fair too. The staff genuinely cared about him which made me feel relieved.

From my experience they have always been nice to me and my pets. The only reason I didnt give them 5 stars is because every appointment Ive had they have gotten my pets in late by 15-30min past my scheduled time. It hasnt mattered if I show up on time or early- they run late. Also it is slow once they do get you in a room. I always plan to be at the vet for at least 1.5- 2 hours for a general check-up.

Absolutely great experience. Im always wary of vets because they tend to be so rough with the animals. I love this place! They are so sweet and went the extra mile for my kitty. The vet was a very friendly man who has cats of his own and gave me great advice. The assistants call every day to make sure my Eevee is doing well. Best experience Ive had in a vet hands down.
