Veterinarians near Cathedral City, CA

“I truly do wish I could give you guys 10 stars. This place truly is one of a kind. Unfortunately my 13 week baby boy, Zee, swallowed cat litter what seems like right before we adopted him. He ended up getting extremely sick and needed emergency surgery. Unfortunately we are a low income family so this was scary. But with the help of a few different rescues, Mary Watkins over at Forgotten Felines being my biggest supporter, and Dr. Diaz who did everything to help us get him surgery, we were able to get the surgery for him. Dr. Diaz saved my baby’s life. We felt so heard and cared for, and like they truly cared more about the safety and well being of our animal, than anything else. We aren’t out of the dark quite yet, as Zee is still in recovery, but I know that with Dr. Diaz and all the staff over at The Cat Clinic, we will get through whatever is to come. Thank you guys so incredibly much. Your kindness and generosity will forever be remembered and cherished. ❤️”

“Carter Animal hospital is the best in the valley! The staff and doctors are amazing and they care about your pets. It's a family feeling yet professional. I've been going to Carter Animal hospital for well over 15 years, I have had two cats pass away, but the love and compassion that they extended to me during that time is what made the difference! I would highly recomend this facility, and I won't go anywhere else!”

“Can’t say enough positive things about this whole office!!! Front office staff and the veterinary techs are always SO friendly, helpful and wonderful. Dr. Pentoney, my pups’ veterinarian, is the kindest I’ve ever ever met. She is so caring, smart, thoughtful, thorough and patient. She always takes the time to answer all my questions and concerns, and even personally calls to deliver messages about important lab results and tests. Dr. Pentoney has been a godsend even more so recently as one of my dogs has a tumor indicating soft tissue sarcoma, which is terrifying. I am truly SO grateful to this office for their care and kind demeanor. You can tell how much they value their clients and love animals with everything they do.”

“My husband and I are so incredibly happy with and appreciative of this office. While all of our consults have been top notch, our most recent visit was particularly reflective of this phenomenal practice.

Our dog Bogey was worked-in on a Friday due to progressively worsening diarrhea and vomiting. They did a thorough work-up, gave him fluids and medication and he is now back to his normal happy self. Thank you a million!”

“We were new to the desert in 2023 and visited Country Club Animal Clinic for our dog and cat’s annual exams. We love them! We have never waited more than a couple of minutes, all of the staff is friendly and helpful and the vets and vet technicians are have taken very compassionate care of our 19-yr old cat and picky-eater dog! There is even a separate waiting area for cats so that they are not frightened by dogs. We came back just recently for their 2024 exams and experienced the same, high quality, friendly and efficient care. We highly recommend Country Club Animal Clinic for all of your vet needs!”

“Everyone I have encountered so far has been friendly and very helpful. It was Bowie’s first time at the vets and the vet assistant and doctor were both wonderful with him. I felt very comfortable asking questions and was pleased with the answers I received. We will be bringing him back in for his dental care and bringing our other cat, Oliver, in for a check up as well. Thanks so much, so far, for a positive experience.”

“After trying to do the Snip Bus for weeks to no avail, I went to Animal Samaritans. This outfit was amazing. The clinic was clean, empathetic to animals, and very professional. Our cat is doing great and we are so happy we were able to get her spayed finally and at a reasonable price. Thank you Animal Samaritans! You live up to your name!”

“I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to VCA of Rancho Mirage, especially to Dr. Reed and Mia.
I'm forever grateful for the exceptional care my English Labrador, Monte, received over the years.
Monte had terrible separation anxiety, but every time we walked in, she was greeted by name with hugs and treats. She was always genuinely comfortable there. They provided excellent post-
surgery care, consistently checking in on us and staying on top of her medications.
When the time came to put Monte down due to old age, the staff was right there by my side. I can't thank them enough. A special thank you to Mia, Monte's favorite person. Mia is outstanding-she is patient, kind, and truly cares. I couldn't have gotten through that day without her. She provides five-star service with so much heart. VCA, whatever you're paying her, it isn't enough!
For anyone looking for a compassionate and honest vet, they are the absolute best.

Thank you

Sarah”

“They got me in same day which I very much appreciated since my baby got sick on Christmas. They were up front about pricing and kind about the breakdown of costs. They didn't try and push loads onto us or make us feel guilty for what we couldn't afford. I don't know what's going to show up on my kitties bloodwork but the receptionist and doctor made me feel welcome and were attentive and kind. I do feel he's in good hands here and I appreciate the kindness while we navigate what could be wrong with my baby.”

“We took a hamster for Esperanza's sanctuary in for her leg to be looked at and make sure she was healthy and the vet staff was fabulous with her and we were a part of the plan for treatment. The atmosphere was calm compared to other VCA facilities I have been in and the Dr.Horwitz was awesome with our patient and my small human who loves that hamster. She came highly recommended by another vet in the valley as well. Here she is taking her meds happily.”

“I was unable to find a 4 pound bag of a certain dog food anywhere. I stopped into this Petco (Palm Desert) I was able to speak to the manager Casey. She was very willing to help me she was able to lead me right to the dog food I was looking for. Casey also let me know that in the future if they didn't have the food in stock to let her know and she would order it for me. This store is very well stocked and very clean. All the employees were very polite and friendly paying a lot of attention to my dog and giving her plenty of cookies. I highly recommend this pet store.”

“Hands down the most amazing vet I’ve been to. I took my cat Leo in due to a bladder obstruction. Doctor was very upfront about every part and knowing it could reobstruct. We decided to do treatment. We made it home after treatment and he’s on his new diet. Not only did I get a follow up from staff in the morning the next day. I received a call later from the doctor. Thank you for kindness! I can’t thank you guys enough. My animals are like my babies!”

“We had a wonderful experience with VCA after our 17-year-old dog Olive needed emergency care while we were visiting Palm Springs from out of town. The morning after Thanksgiving, we showed up at 7am unannounced and were swiftly taken care of by the staff. Olive received gentle and thorough care from Dr. Kuhlman and nurse Marci, both of whom were clear, caring, and empathetic. Olive is on the road to recovery because of this team’s attention and care. We can’t thank you enough!”
