Alameda Animal Hospital

I have not visited this animal hospital (yet). However it was one of the only ones open at the time. So I called and explained what was happening with my dog. She said that I needed to take my dog to an ER right away. When I told her I did not know of one. She said "dont worry I will text you the closes one to you right now." Which she immediately did. She was very kind, compassionate and caring. I really appreciate it. Unfortunately I did not get her name. But thanks to her my little dog got the treatment that was needed and doing much better. Thank u Alameda Animal Hospital. 🙂

I like the food however this is not the typical restaurant where you will select top notch service. Be proper to not be welcoming by the waiters [unless they change her] aside from that food is good and also if you are paying in dollars be prepared to pay the lowest amount of exchange. Is better for you to bring Mexican pesos instead go dollars. Otherwise you will be paying at least a buck less of what the current exchange. Don’t really like that as if you don’t have Mexican pesos they will literally will take advantage of your Dollars 😅

This place is really good. The staff is really nice. I came in as a walk in they attended my dog very kindly. The initial price was around 500$ but they took off optional things my dog didn't really need which brought down the price. I had a very good experience very nice people. My dog is good now his infection went away with the help of the medication they prescribed and he's back to his old energetic self. (Here's pictures of him in the vet and after he came back home from the vet) [3years ago in 2019]

WARNING: MEDICAL MALPRACTICE. Do not trust with allergies, dermatology, or his judgment regarding what is an emergency situation. Short story: Dr. Howard (mis?)diagnosed my 2yo dog’s extremely itchy skin as food allergy induced pyoderma. He gave her 8 different medications including Apoquel and high doses of prednisone over the course of several days trying to manage her symptoms. A month later, she contracted viral pneumonia which killed her. He never warned me about side effects or advised me of any further symptoms to watch out for. If he had warned me, I could have suspected pneumonia, recognized her symptoms as such, sought treatment sooner, and possibly prevented her death. As a means of getting closure, I messaged him asking if these medications could have made her vulnerable to contracting pneumonia and if he believes her diagnosis was correct given that his treatment plan involved such an extreme approach. I never got a response. To me, this spells guilt. This tells me he senses a risk of being sued for medical malpractice. He told me many times how much he dislikes learning about dermatology and allergies - it’s boring and he “forces” himself to go to these lectures at conferences. This doesn’t scream competency or professional development. Sounds like he follows a textbook approach (if that) rather than applying his own critical thinking and judgment to each unique patient. He did go above and beyond for my dog by treating her outside of business hours. However, while nice, this is easily an example of his disorganized business practices. He rushed her care and made hasty decisions. The x-ray he took was concerning to him, but he just sent me home with oral antibiotics. He did not recognize that she needed to immediately go to the ER for intensive treatment in order to save her life. Instead, he called me 24 hours after that x-ray to tell me that he had a “bad feeling” and to take her into the ER immediately. By then, her x-ray showed progression of disease, and her fate was already sealed. $11,000 and 4 days in the ICU later, she was gone. Just go somewhere else for your pet’s care.
