Berkeley Animal Hospital

I’m a local dog walker and Dr Holiday came HIGHLY RECOMMENDED by many of my clients who have shy anxious dogs. She did not disappoint. We had a lovely first visit yesterday. I love Dr Holidays calm energy! She explained things thoroughly and in an accessible way that was easy to understand. The staff was friendly and followed my instructions not to pet or reach for my dog. They let him come behind the counter and sniff them. In addition, they were sensitive to the fact that he’s reactive with large dogs and ensured that there weren’t any in the lobby when we checked out. I will be recommending them to everyone in the future! My dog has seen a different primary vet including a veterinary behaviorist and Dr. Holiday was still able to recommend some products that hadn’t been mentioned to us before. Bonus: They offer 5 happy visits where your dog can come in and have positive interactions with the staff, patient rooms, and doctor. I love it here.

This office is very clean and professional. We had great care for our cat’s spay procedures and vaccines. Dr. Holliday and the vet techs are very patient with Mooncake!

I loved Dr. Holliday's warm demeanor and balanced treatment approach. My chihuahua is very anxious, and Dr. Holliday was the gentlest vet we've ever seen, and was sensitive to my dog's needs. She explained our options well, and respected my choices. Also, I was so grateful that they could accommodate a same-day appointment for a new patient (many vets will not see a new patient for same-day appts). This was the 10th vet I called yesterday, and the only one who was able to squeeze us in. It was at the "urgent care" rate - which is a standard practice for all vets - and even though it was a last-minute appt, I was so impressed with the care we received that I'm considering transferring both my pets to this vet, even though it's much farther from our house. Other things I loved: * There was an Adaptil diffuser in the exam room, to help calm dogs * The vet tech scanned my dog's microchip after getting her weight and temperature, just to make sure the info was correct. I've never seen this as a routine practice before, and now I wonder why it isn't universal at ALL vets! Taking just a few extra few seconds to scan her microchip shows me that this practice really cares about the animals. * The waiting room treats are top-tier :) * Every employee I spoke with was friendly and happy to help (even on a Friday afternoon!). * It's a brand-new office, so everything is clean and shiny and up-to-date.

Dr. Holliday and staff are highly competent and caring professionals. We were very satisfied with the quality of care that they provided our precious pup and appreciated their friendly and attentive style.

The best vet experience I’ve had in a really long time. Patient, professional, thorough and kind. Even my beloved cat was calmer than usual during this visit.
