Always happy to come here and not get ripped off. The prices are fair and our animals are always well taken care of.

I don’t recommend this vet. Dr Garcia was very unprofessional in her response to the concerns I had about my dog. She could have chosen to respond to my questions with compassion but instead chose to belittle me. I also hate that they only take walk ins and sometimes that wait was hours long. I felt like just a number at this vet.

This was a wonderful place to take my little dog to have her put to sleep. They were so kind and so good to me. They were reasonably priced and I’m so grateful for them. It was a very relaxed and comfortable situation, and I think my little baby girl just fell asleep and didn’t wake up again. Thank you so much.

Everyone is always so friendly, prices are reasonable, and service is impeccable.I took my 2 dogs in today, 1 for nail trimming, the other one a shot. I was in and out in less than 30 minutes. Happy dogs, happy dog owners. ? ?

This vet thinks it's okay to perscribe your animal more medication without doing a full blood panel. They literally don't care about your animal and simply want your money and that's about it. The office ladies are also pretty rude.

Little paws was recommended by a friend of mine. We brought our older lab here when she was having trouble breathing. They did an in house xray and found a tumor near her lungs. Due to her advanced age, they didn't recommend chemo but still gave me the chemo offices info.When it was time for her to be put down, the staff and vet were very compassionate. We were able to be with her when she passed, and she knew she was loved. They also had a creamation service that we received her ashes in a beautiful box and a clay outline of her paw print.The service and care was excellent and I recommend them to all my friends and family. The vet visit, xrays, and cremation service were also very affordable.

Okay so yes of course I waited an hour after my appointment to be seen. BUT honestly it was for a good reason. Another dog came in who was having seizures and it was an emergency walk in. So of course we had to wait. But if that was my dog having an emergency I would be forever grateful if my dog got seen right away like that.The vet Dr John is super chill and awesome. Even before I met him the other pet owners were telling me how wonderful he was. They talked about other vets and how they don’t go there anymore.Honestly he and his staff live up to the hype. It’s incredibly difficult to find a GOOD vet let alone an amazing one. I know from experience with many vets across different states.I was seeing a favorite vet in Northridge for years now but honestly I am seriously considering swapping permanently.Bring a book or a fully charged phone in case there’s a wait!

We have been taking our dogs to Little Paws for many years. The doctors and staff there are like family. They mourn with you when you have to say goodbye and they celebrate with you when you bring your new bundle of joy in. They have always given the best care at the fairest prices. My daughter brings her babies to Little Paws from Santa Monica. They are taking appointments again. I highly recommend them.

Even with the increase in price for the office visit (now $60), they're still the most affordable vet I've found relatively close to SFV. I've gotten quotes for procedures from vets in the valley that are considered low cost and Little Paws is always hundreds of dollars cheaper. Compared to the average vet? More like $1000+. So if you just need a wellness exam you can find other clinics that have lower exam fees. But adding in the cost of diagnostics or if you need something done, their prices are still lower. I also appreciate that they post some of the prices online and wish more vets were as forthcoming.They have a good deal for senior pets where a wellness panel which includes full bloodwork (CBC & superchemistry), thyroid, and urinalysis is $195. IIRC their regular price is about $90 for superchem and <$150 for CBC+superchem.Dr. Garcia's really nice & laid-back and will go over things line by line to explain the whats and the whys. She's not pushy and will actually let me know that certain things aren't needed at the moment even though she could easily make a lot more money off of me.The place is very small (one room is literally the size of a closet) but always super clean. The front desk staff and techs are also great.UPDATE: As of the end of October they take appointments again! The walk-ins only policy over the last year was the only negative thing about them so I'm glad they're back to appointments.

I brought my 7 month old cat here they ran some X-rays on her which we discovered she was filled up with gas which made her lose appetite she wasn't able to use the bathroom she would not be active just sleep all day which is very unusual for her for about 2 days. The doctor I believe his name is John seemed quite useless as if he didn't know how or want to help he insisted on an ultra sound (about $400-$600) or bloodwork to find out what is wrong although the X-rays showed it. I asked for any medication, injections or personal recommendations to help release the gas out and they couldn't give her anything because they suggested she didn't need any of that. Instead they gave her a shot so she wouldn't throw up she certainly didn't need (it didn't help her). I took her to GRAND CANYON VET they were so helpful my cat got medicine and injections and on the drive back home she was already starting to move around again and when I got home she slowly stared eating again. I don't recommend this vet clinic I was shown they aren't educated and they are money hungry.
