VCA 4 Paws Animal Hospital

We adopted a shelter dog that began to show some concerning health symptoms. The shelter gives you a free certificate to be seen at a vet and 4Paws was on the list. We had previously lost a dog in a traumatic way to a similar symptom, so we were scared that this doggie was heading down that same path. Dr Morgan Thomas met with me and gave our girl a calm and thorough check up. She was slow... methodical... she gave the situation great care and thought. She understood our fears and was probably the most compassionate vet I have ever encountered. I didn't feel like she was trying to rush through the appointment at all. Our dog turned out to be healthy (aside from some serious weight loss that needed to happen!) and Dr Thomas made suggestions, and offered support and spent a really long time with us given the situation. More time than someone with a "free check up" was probably entitled to. We got all the recommended tests... a prescription diet food... and a heartworm flea pill. The support staff there is also fantastic. Really kind and professional. My only last question... how come my dog gets a better doctor than I do? Its been 3 weeks since the appointment an Miss Beru has lost 3.6lbs

Yesterday I had the dreaded experience of having to say goodbye to my furry kiddo, Hopi. It was a devastating day for me and he was rapidly worsening. The scheduled in-home euthanasia service wouldn’t be able to make it on time to help ease Hopi’s transition. This clinic was amazing. I called and they helped Hopi within 10-15 mins. They were very kind and empathetic toward us. I truly believe we were meant to come to this place and wish I would have known about them sooner. I am forever grateful.

They just want to make money, I went with my dog for a small issue that just needed medication and the ended up billing me $900 without the medication I needed. Totally unhelpful and useless experience.

I recently took my dog to VCA 4 Paws to have his ear infection examined one week ago. Prior to scheduling a follow-up appointment, I was told by the VCA staff that the cost would be $33. However, when I arrived for the appointment today, I was disappointed to learn that the cost had increased to over $80 without any prior notice. As a result, I had to cancel the follow-up appointment and take my dog home. It was frustrating and upsetting to have been given inaccurate information about the cost, especially after taking time off work and making the effort to bring my dog back for the appointment.

With 4 paws you know your dog and your wallet is in good hands. They don't try to come up with ways to charge you. They care about the dogs well being and what they recommend is ways that really helps your pet . I used to take my dog to VCA west Bernardo hospital and God! I can't believe how they rip you knowing people care about their dogs and will do anything. Not cool. Thank you 4 paws. Glad I found you.
