“Thank you for your kindness & thank you for listening. After a 6 hour wait, $200 bill, and no answers at another vet, we were so discouraged. The ladies at Thurman’s completely passed our expectations. We cannot thank you enough!”

“They all took their time to answer my questions - from the receptionist desk to the doctor - and worked quickly, but calmly with both of my pets. The doctor was kind and educated me on how to take better care with my animals, because I am a first-time pet owner and this put me at ease. I’m very happy I found Southwest Veterinary. Thanks again to everyone on your team for taking care of our concerns.”

“They were able to see my cat on the same day and the experience was pretty smooth as far as vet visits go. There wasn't a long wait time (obviously no one can guarantee this every time) and Dr. Van Kopp and the person helping him, I apologize for not knowing her name, was thorough. The front desk staff were also helpful.

Contacting via Email and phone is more reliable than the text option.

There is no annoying hold music nor ads because they are using old school phones.”

“We have been taking our pets to Rosedale Veterinary Hospital Inc for over 20 years, and there is truly no other veterinary clinic we would ever choose in town. Through multiple pets and every stage of life — from playful puppies and kittens to senior care — they have consistently provided the most compassionate, knowledgeable, and family-friendly care imaginable.

The entire team treats you like family. You never feel rushed, and they always take the time to explain everything clearly and thoughtfully. It’s rare to find a practice that combines professionalism with such genuine warmth — but they do it effortlessly.

Dr. Sheahan is nothing short of a miracle worker. Our beloved cat was brutally attacked by a pit bull and a husky and was literally minutes from dying. It was one of the most terrifying moments of our lives. Dr. Sheahan stepped in with skill, urgency, and incredible compassion — and she saved him. Today, he is thriving, happy, and healthy because of her expertise and dedication. We will forever be grateful.

If you are looking for a veterinary hospital that truly cares, that treats your pets like their own, and that shows up when it matters most, this is the place.

10,000% highly recommend.”

“I just called today and found out North of the river veterinarian hospital is closed. I know there is mixed reviews, but I was very happy and satisfied, not only with Dr. Virga, but his staff as well. I had no problems with any of their personalities, because they were who they are not who I wanted them to be. The most important thing to me was the care they gave our family members. I considered the care second to none and on top of that their pricing was very reasonable. They didn't try to take advantage of people who were desperate to get their pets healthy. Can somebody tell me another veterinarian in town that gives excellent care and does not take advantage of pet owners outrageous, and unnecessary costs? I'll wait.”

“If you own a horse, you know they can be expensive. It's not only food and boarding and equipment, they occasionally need medical care. If you are a pro-active horse owner, you can sometimes head off major medical expenses with preventive care. We use Bakersfield Large Animal Hospital for all our needs. There are three vets in residence and they are all very good. Dr. John Tolley is the head vet and heads the staff. Dr. Gonzales has the second longest tenure. He is very conscientious and great with the horses. Dr. Ordonez-Jones is the newest addition. He speaks Spanish. He graduated from Davis and came to Bakersfield. Every other year we take our horses in for dental work. Dr. Tolley did the horse's teeth this year. They use mechanical tools to get the teeth just right. (Horse's teeth grow throughout their life and have to be "shaped" on a regular basis). We like using Bakersfield Large Animal Hospital because all the doctors there are willing to talk to us, answer all our questions, and give alternative treatment programs. They also talk to each other. They will discuss cases and try to come up with the best diagnosis and treatments. When you're dealing with veterinary care, I consider this VERY important. The rest of the staff - Rudy, Katherine, and the others - are very good at handling the horses and keep things running smoothly. Bakersfield Large Animal is on Taft Hwy. They have a full service equine vet hospital.”

“A pack of stray PitBulls (4) Broke into my yard at 2:30am. They killed my Loyal German Shepard and my Miniature Donkey They mauled my miniature cow named Tuesday. I called every single Large animal Vet in Kern County begging for help to save my cows ears and left eye. (I know.... It's so horrible) she was bit everywhere and I was DEVASTATED. I couldn't find a single Vet willing to come out even after hours they all said sorry but NO!...... I was So Desperate and afraid I gave this Vet another call and spoke with the staff girls. I will be FOREVER GRATEFUL to these women for getting a DVM to at least prescribe antibiotics. They even stayed late (45 minutes) So I could make it there to pick up the Medication.. This Vet doesn't usually work on Cows but they made an exception for us. ThankYou for helping me. Sincerely Stacie G.”

“Now that Maple is completely healed from her spay, we wanted to leave a review because we are genuinely so impressed with how beautifully she healed. Her incision and scar look absolutely perfect. The scar is barely noticeable, her skin looks great, and you honestly would hardly know she had surgery at all.

We know spays are performed routinely, but they are still a significant abdominal surgery, and trusting someone with our little girl was a big deal to us. We are incredibly thankful that everything went so smoothly, both with the surgery itself and throughout her recovery.

Seeing how perfect everything looks now that she is fully healed really gives us an appreciation for the care and skill that went into her procedure. We are so grateful for the wonderful care Maple received and couldn't be happier with the outcome. ❤”

“I had an emergency and couldn't get into my local vet office because they were full. Apparently, nail trims and itchy skin take priority over a life-threatening emergency. You'd think they would hold open emergency slots! I drove 40 minutes to the next larger city. Went to a 24-hour Emergency and Urgent Care clinic. They said I'd have to wait about 6 hours to be seen. I couldn't wait that long and went to BAKERSFIELD VETERINARIAN HOSPITAL. They checked me in within about 15 minutes. While I had to sadly euthanize my pet, I was grateful for their getting my pet examined quickly and for their compassionate care. I 100% recommend going to Bakersfield Veterinary Hospital as a first choice!! Especially when minutes count!!”

“Dr. Reno is an amazing veterinarian. He is so kind and personable. He gave us a dog left in front of his office which turned out to be the best dog I ever had. Roco has since passed, but we will never forget Dr. Reno giving him to us. I take all of my dogs to Dr. Reno's office because he is so great and the staff is so pleasant. I highly recommend this business.”

“I want to give Banfield a 10 out of 10. The doctor and the entire team were absolutely amazing. From the moment I arrived, everyone was so caring, compassionate, and gentle. They treated my dog with so much love and respect, and I could truly feel that they cared.
The doctor took the time to explain everything and did everything possible to help me during such a difficult time. I will always be grateful for the kindness and compassion they showed me.
Thank you to the entire Banfield team, from the bottom of my heart. You deserve more than a 10 out of 10. ❤”
