VCA Animal Medical Center of Southern California

My favorite vet! I’ve been bringing my dogs to this office for 10 years and they will always be my go-to. Originally I was referred by a friend who runs a dog rescue after my dog was injured and suffered rear-leg paralysis. Although he wasn’t in pain, the first neurologist at another office said right away that I should put my dog down without offering any options for handling his injury. When Dr. Schulman met my dog he sat on the floor with him and explained all our options with such empathy and compassion unlike the first vet. Their office has wonderful vet techs and other great vets as well. When my special needs pup passed, their office sent me a very sweet sympathy card signed by the techs and vets that had always given him such loving care. I cannot recommend them enough.

If I was able to give 0 stars I totally would !! Don't bring your pups to this Hospital! I took my 8-month old husky there because she wasn't eating, was throwing up, and had diarrhea and my baby died 2 days later. She was seen by Dr. William Husky and he only suggested a few shots and an X-Ray. She had that done and was sent home with some prescribed medication. Dr. Husky said she was stable and that she had probably eaten something bad to her stomach. My baby was able to walk when we took her that Thursday night and the next day she was super weak. I didn't think much of it because he said she was stable and I figured the medication had her feeling fatigued. I was under the impression she was going to get better and she passed the day after. Before she passed, she began bleeding from her genital area and throwing up. I called the hospital that Saturday, an hour before she passed, so I could speak to the doctor and give him updates on my husky. They told me he wasn't there but that they were going to call him to let him know the status of my dog. When she passed, I called back and all they said was that they were sorry and proceeded to offer me their cremation services. Don’t bring your animals to this hospital!! All they care about is getting paid and nothing else. © Useful 4 © Funny o @ Cool

I want to thank Dr. Schulman for always the fantastic service and ALWAYS being there for my dog "Sofie." He has done so much for her, to keep her healthy and active. I have been going to Dr. Schulman for over 25 years with all my pets in the past. I recommend everyone I know to him. Office staff is very helpful and has ALWAYS given me a detailed written estimate.

The worst animal hospital! When you don't have the money to pay $3,500 a night they do nothing to help your pet. I told them that I could not pay and they told me that my dogs were not going to be saved, that I should put them to sleep, I did not want to leave them there and they sent people from the animal services department to my house for inspection. Wasn't the pain of losing my pets enough? A good vet would do everything possible to help but there are vets who only think about making money.

They don't make them like Dr. Schulman anymore, truly. My dog has required two ACL surgeries, one on each rear leg over the course of the last 3 years, as well as other visits that were required and each and every time Dr. Schulman has gone above and beyond for both my dog and me. He truly loves what he does and loves his pet patients. Both ACL surgeries were successful, my dog has now two stronger legs back there then before! I've used other veterinary hospitals through the years but never got service like that from Dr. Schulman. Thank you for all you do for Diego and I!
