Bellwood Animal Hospital

I came to this hospital in an emergency with my almost dead dog 🥺 We were walking in the park as usual and suddenly she was barking with a lot of pain and we didn't know what was wrong with her, and suddenly she collapsed and we had to do CPR on her as we arrived at Bellwood animal hospital, they managed to revive her and save her life, they They did blood tests and x-rays to find out what had happened. They were very patient with us, they explained her procedures and allowed us to see her as soon as possible and that gave us peace of mind to return home to rest. We had to leave her for observation and the next morning they returned her alive, stable and bathed. It has been the best Thanksgiving 🎁 gift we have received, being able to have family dinner together. Thanks to Monic and Dr Khalid and all their team work for bringing us back to our Daphne 💝

Do NOT bring your pets here. I had the worst experience with Dr Hardiy. He does not care for your pet, he only cares about your money. He will overcharge you and lie about what’s wrong with your furry friend. We brought in our dog and he said he needed surgery and wanted to charge us an absurd amount of money. Dr. Hardiy wanted to charge us over 4 thousand dollars to remove an abscess! He said it was very crucial and started raising his voice to us because we didn’t have that amount of money he was asking for. We felt pressured, uneased, and overwhelmed. Then he kept asking how much can we give him. He was very unprofessional and untrustworthy. Luckily we took our dog to his primary vet after seeing Dr. Hardiy and the doctor said he was actually fine. That he did NOT have an abscess and there was no need for surgery!! Dr. Hardiy is a liar, scammer, and manipulating cruel man. He takes advantage of your situation. No pet owner should experience the stress, horror, and anxiety that Dr. Hardiy will put on you and your pet.

If I could give this place zero stars, I would. My dog got a pretty nasty gouge on her face from a neighbor’s cat.VCA had a six hour wait so they referred us to this vet. First of all, the clinic looks unkempt, unclean, and horrid. Second, the vet tried to tell us that my dog’s wound was old and infected. The dog had just gotten hurt 45 minutes prior so there’s no way it was infected already. And third of all- they quoted us just under $1500 to do surgery with general anesthesia. I’ve been a hospital nurse for 8 years and while I admit humans and dogs are different, the basics are the same. And I knew from my nursing judgement that I didn’t feel comfortable letting this vet put my dog under. And I also had a hunch that she wouldn’t benefit from surgery based on the nature of the wound. So we paid the exam fee and hightailed it out of there. We kept it professional and just said we we were gonna pursue other options. I asked for a receipt for the exam fee and the front desk associate proceeded to take a phone call and move with the speed of molasses to get us the receipt while my dog was still clearly injured and needing medical care. We called around and got a recommendation to Long Beach Urgent Animal Care on Anaheim St. The vet there was wonderful. They charged us $400 to give our dog twilight sedation, clean the wound, and sent us home with antibiotics. There was no tissue to even suture. I’d post a pic but I don’t want to be graphic. I have no idea what the vet at this place was planning to do in surgery if there was no viable tissue left to suture. The whole thing is just disturbing. Please avoid!

Dr. Khalid does not listen and is very demeaning. I brought my dog in with what appeared to be back pain and change in appetite. he quickly diagnosed as 'old dog' and recommended adequin injections. He did not do a thorough assessment and overlooked a serious issue with her stomach and throat (our primary vet was able to follow up during normal business hours). I paid upfront for 8 injections and was told I would be credited if all were not used. unfortunately, my dog has passed away (due to ultimately throat cancer, which Dr did not even assess her for). He is now stating that because the manufacturer won't take back the doses he cant credit it me. highly recommend seeking care elsewhere.

Father’s Day Sunday they were open, our dog started sneezing over and over again for several minutes. Luckily Bellwood Animal hospital was nearby. We were worried about the low reviews but it was an emergency. Somehow, as we got into the waiting room the sneezing stopped. Maybe allergies? We were feeling foolish, maybe we came for nothing and now we’d have to pay the (fair) $100+ fee. The doctor saw us in the waiting room and said “What’s wrong with this beauuuutiful doggy?” We explained the situation. He came out with his stethoscope, checked her breathing and airways and said “she’s ok, but if she starts sneezing again come back and I’ll give her a free exam.” They gave us peace of mind in minutes, for free. We were uplifted. We were able to get back to our family party before most people realized we had left. Thank you so much everyone at Bellwood Animal Hospital, your kindness will not go unnoticed.
