Veterinarians in Los Angeles, CA

“We lost our precious 13-year-old girl, Sheena Marie, two weeks ago. Our amazing vet handled her final moments with us, and Hearts & Halos took care of her individual aquamation and ashes from there. We got her back this week and I am completely blown away by the care that went into everything. The handmade biodegradable paper urn with her name on a little wooden heart, the engraved paw print keepsake, the plantable seed paper hearts, and her beautiful certificate. Every single detail was thoughtful and gorgeous. We don't have a yard just yet, but when we do, we'll bury her urn and let her ashes nourish the earth. Her soul is already out in the universe, and someday she'll help grow something beautiful too. For now, she's back in her favorite corner of the house, right where she belongs. If you're facing this heartbreak and looking for a service that truly honors your pet, Hearts & Halos is it. Thank you for treating our girl with so much love and dignity.”

“I’ve only truly loved two veterinary hospitals in my life, and Cahuenga Veterinary Hospital is one of them.

When our newly adopted kitten was diagnosed with FIP, we were devastated. The team at CVH guided us through one of the most stressful experiences we’ve had as pet owners. They carefully managed the necessary testing, medications, and expenses with both professionalism and compassion. Thanks to their excellent care, our kitten is now nearly two years old and has remained in FIP remission ever since.

Beyond their medical expertise, their communication, scheduling, and genuine empathy are exceptional. Every interaction has made us feel like our pets—and our concerns—truly matter.

Most recently, we accidentally showed up on the wrong day for an appointment. Even though the mistake was completely ours, the staff still went out of their way to try to accommodate us. That level of kindness and customer service is rare.

I also want to mention that we used Fetch Pet Insurance during our kitten’s FIP treatment, and it was invaluable in helping cover the significant costs of care. While that’s separate from the hospital itself, it made an incredibly difficult situation much more manageable.

I recommend Cahuenga Veterinary Hospital without hesitation. If you’re looking for a veterinary team that combines outstanding medical care with genuine compassion, this is the place.”

“New to this clinic, just a wellness exam and a follow-up shot. They were punctual and staff is friendly. The doctor, Ryan, was pretty thorough with an easygoing manner. Will retain their services in the future.”

“Dr. Steve is the best vet EVER! My adopted dog Ash came with multiple health issues, the most problematic being GI (stomach upset, diarrhea) and hip dysplasia problems from a previous surgery. Ash had issues with diarrhea and vomiting and I could not find a vet who could help. Dr. Steve was able to get the situation under control. After he solved the initial problem, there was another complication. Dr Steve solved that problem too! His staff is efficient, helpful, and fun.”

“Brought in two dogs in for a spay and neuter. I asked Dr Vasquez if the incision was going to be large on my female because my dog had gained weight and was pretty rotund and I was worried that she would have a ten inch incision like my last dog. He immediately answered: “the incision will be appropriate for the surgery”. A very smart answer!
The incision ended up being really small, like less than two inches in my 35 lb dog. The office is modern and bright, exceptionally clean, and the team there is courteous, excellent and the office is efficiently run. Had to wait for check in and pick up but had an interesting time chatting with the other clients and their pets.”

“The lot is really small so there's limited parking spaces. Street parking is always available. Friendly staff, clean facility & the best prices I've encountered.”

“Last week, I adopted my dog from this shelter and had him neutered here.

A few days later, the surgical site became inflamed. I took him to a veterinary hospital near my home, but I was quoted around $2,000 for treatment. Unfortunately, I simply couldn’t afford that, so I brought him back to the clinic where the surgery was originally performed.

Although appointments are required, scheduling one over the phone was quick and easy. I didn’t have to wait long, and the staff helped me get everything arranged smoothly.

I’m about to leave my dog in their care again, and I’m hoping everything goes well. Thank you in advance for taking care of him. 🙏”

“I take all my for babies here and love all the kind staff members. It sometimes gets extremely busy and I marvel how the receptionist manages to answer the seemingly never-ending phone calls, schedule appointments, greet pet owners, assign rooms, wipe up dog messes, and magically stays organized, friendly, and efficient. I would be overwhelmed to be honest. Yes, it gets extremely busy sometimes and you have to stay on hold for a while when you are on the phone, but I’ve seen her in action in the office a lot of times and am amazed how she handles everything.”

“This vet clinic is way better than a national chain. My dog was misdiagnosed on a Saturday with pancreatitis at a national veterinary chain company, with that vet insisting she needed to be hospitalized for 3 to 4 days, minimum cost $5000. I love my dog dearly, but she is quite elderly, has major spinal issues and dementia problems, and she needs to constantly be with me or she stresses. Putting her in hospital would break her. That vet acted as if I were a horrible human. Worse, though that vet prescribed pain medication for her, he didn’t give his required vet code. Since it was a controlled substance, the pharmacy wouldn’t give it to me. So though he went on about how intense her pain was, he made it impossible for her to get the pain reliever he insisted she needed! Thank goodness Olympic Pet Hospital was recommended to me: They got me in at 10 AM on a Monday holiday! Dr. Lucia Kwon was kind and diligent. She truly listened to me. Not only did she prescribe an effective non-controlled substance but she made sure it would help with my dog’s spinal and nerve pain. When she discovered I had given a friend’s cat subcutaneous IV daily, she assured me I could do the same for my dog if her condition deteriorated and she needed help with fluids. That way, I wouldn’t have to hospitalize her if things got worse. I cannot speak more highly of this woman — knowledgable, thoughtful, gentle with my baby and reassuring to me. My dog was better in 1.5 days under her treatment protocol. I just wish I would have gone to her on Saturday; that would have saved me the $40O I wasted at the substandard national chain. And my dog wouldn’t have suffered for two days. I would give this clinic and vet 10 out of 5 stars if I could.”

“After being dismissed by two previous vets, I found this clinic and it was my saving grace. The doctor's gut instinct and expertise was spot on and led us to seek out a specialist who finally confirmed what I suspected all along—that she did have issues to address.”

“We found this place by accident, and, because of the warm welcoming attitude of the receptionist, we decided to stay and cancel our appointment at another vet. Wonderful staff! Really worked with us as far as pricing! Very understanding! They treated two of our cats!”

“My dog… is not an easy dog. This is the only place I bring him and they take fantastic care of my lil traumatized boy. We moved and still drive hours to come here for care!”

“We had a great experience taking our cat to her first visit at Mohawk for a first-time wellness exam! I was able to book online which was seamless, and we were seen for our appointment early. The staff was super friendly with our cat and we were able to ask any questions we had while feeling comfortable. Definitely the best vet in the area!”

“Despite as others may comment. I've been taking my pups for the past 13 years here. The staff is wonderful. You can tell they love animals and help as much as possible.Unlike other vets, they explain what is wrong or great about your pet. I'm a 1000 question gal, and they answer every single one as best to their knowledge or they direct me to the main vet.Lucy is one of the main reasons why i continue to take my babies there. She is very knowledgeable and makes sure you get the help you need as soon as possible.I have 2 other vets as backups (we all need back ups) but this one has to be #1.Yes its a little pricy for my personal income but, quality vs quantity.The only thing i wish was if they were open either a little longer during the week or if they were open Saturdays.Other than that keep up the amazing work and thank you for helping us with our babies! ?Max, Cody & Saidey?”

“Really amazing. My dog tore both her ccl(acl) and with acupuncture and meds and within a week she started to walk though wobbly but much improvement each time after her acupuncture. Amazing teamwork there and very friendly staff.”

“Big shout out to Chelsea in the Front Office who recently sent me all of my Kisa's medical records which I needed as we made a major move this summer and resettled in another country. She treated my request kindly and without hesitation and within a short while I had everything I needed! Well done ... we will miss the fabulous customer service we always received here and wish them all the very best!”

“Shout out to the helpful and informative urgent care vet and staff here at VCA Animal Hospitals Urgent Care--Mar Vista! The vet expertly and accurately diagnosed our injured, limping cat, then simply explained the diagnosis and recovery, offered options for medication, and did not overcharge us. The visit was that easy, simple, effective, and reasonably priced. The experience was such a relief and peace of mind! We will definitely come back here often for its veterinarian services.”

“I wanted to leave a 5 star review for the melrose vet. They helped my dad get healthy after 3 days of being sick and took the time to take care of him and make sure I was informed. Unlike the pet hospitals, the melrose vet puts the energy into making you feel like you’re apart of the process and you know what’s going on. As a college student they worked wonders for me from an affordability standpoint and I would say to 1000% trust them.

I wanted to personally thank Govin and Dr. Forsyth.

Do not waste your money with the big name animal hospitals, take your pets here.”

“Walked in to request an appointment for Buddy (dog) as I suspected he had an ear infection. They scheduled him in but first prescribed him meds as he needed to take meds 3 hours prior in order to be able to go into his rear and avoid him moving around. Turns out he had an ear infection on both ears do to his allergies so he also needed to get an allergy shot every 4 to 8 weeks. Their service is always the best!”

“I don’t see the reason for the negative reviews and I’ve been going here since they opened and never had a problem what so ever, they took great care of all my pets from Cali, Oscar, Sasha and Ashley”

“Excellent Veterinary Clinic in West LA — close to Westwood, Rancho Park, Cheviot Hills, and Sawtelle (and not too far from Beverly Hills and Santa Monica). Excellent staff, nurses, and veterinarians who clearly care about both their clients and patients, they treated our 1 year old dog with kindness and compassion, with excellent communication throughout his examination. Highly recommend West LA Veterinary Group and look forward to continuing to bring our dog here for veterinary care.”

“This is the best clinic hands down. I came to the Little Tokyo Vet Clinic to get help with a pet health certificate for international travel. The team was very responsive and always hands-on with my case. The USDA was having delays with paperwork but the team at this clinic did everything to help me and my dog get to our destination. The price paid here is definitely worth it, especially since I get one-on-one care and can contact the team at anytime. You are paying for best kind of care. I have gone to “cheaper” vets outside of LA County and the service has always been “in and out”, nonchalant, and bad service. Here that is NEVER the problem. The doctors here are very thorough with the examinations and always give you a price breakdown before proceeding with any treatment. I can’t emphasize enough how emphatic, helpful, and brilliant this team is. I would have been pulling my hair out during my move to a new country without their help.

Some other perks:
Parking is FREE and secured
Free refreshments
Clinic is safe and secure with locked doors
Staff always present
Texting option available for communication
Multi-lingual staff and doctors
Great location at the heart of Little Tokyo

For as long as I am in Los Angeles, I will be going here. Can’t wait to come back to the states and bring my dog!”

“A cute little home hidden in the busy streets of Melrose. My experience was humbling as the vet techs and the veterinarian himself was so kind and loving to my little feline. They took care of him as it was one of their own fury baby. Great pricing for such a great experience. Will be going there from now on.”

“I brought my dog here to be fixed. This is my 5th dog I've brought to this place. There very good. The prices are reasonable compared to where I stay (long beach) their prices are ridiculous. The people are nice. Its straight to the point, drop your babies off, they call you when their done.”

“They happily answer any and all questions with honesty and allow you to make the final decision on services instead of forcing them upon you. Every time I take my cats here I never regret it. They saved my cat's life after she swallowed dog aspirin at 9pm!”

“Great staff, and Dr. Morgan is fabulous and we always trust her diagnosis and suggestions for our animals. The best Veterinary Clinic that truly cares about your animals needs. Fabulous group!”

“Dr Karron is a wonderful doctor.
She is kind, caring, professional, honest, experienced and knowledgeable. She loves the animals she cars for.
Ollie and myself are lucky to have her as Ollie’s vet.
Also the team is caring, helpful and great. Thank you.”

“Accommodating and efficient. It's also a good sign when your dog is (mostly) comfortable when going to the Vet. You know that your pet is being shown love and respect while being treated.”

“Enjoy going here so dose our dog. vaccinations for pets are the best part of experienced staff that pets feel comfortable and staff get the job done!
Thank you?”
