Affordable Animal Hospital Silver Lake

The vets and staff here at the Silver Lake location are honestly really great and very kind. I've been here for two pets; a kitten I adopted who was very ill and had to be euthanized, and later with my new puppy. The compassion and effort the staff showed with my kitten who had to be euthanized was just incredibly kind. And they have been really nice and attentive when I brought my new puppy here. They're also helpful if you call for records, they can email them to you and do so quickly.

IF AFFORDABLE IS WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR LOOK ELSEWHERE. I'd give zero stars if I could. It is a con at best. You are not allowed to enter the premises with your animal, they store them in the back while you wait outside, it took 2 hours for them to get to my sick animal. I have never been so guilted by a vet to spend an absolute premium. The medicine my animal required ( common antibiotic to treat most things) wasn't even available through them for a week. THEY OFFER EVERYONE THE SAME OPTIONS OF EXPENSIVE TREATMENTS, i overheard discussions near me and they're always over 1k. I was given a 2500 bill for treatments I was charged 1k for the year before- EXACT SAME TREATMENTS WITHOUT THEM DEFERRING TO PRIOR RESULTS AND TRYING NEW OPTIONS. PLEASE consider a different vet. Two visits was enough for me. Gutted upon leaving. Also.. test results at a new vet were different and options and discussions were provided while I got to comfort my animal beside me. Spent 1/4 of my prior bill. So disappointed and I NEVER write reviews. Proceed with caution and expect to feel taken advantage of.

A vet with a good heart. I don’t think some of the people here gave fair reviews. He saved my cat’s life with a reasonable price and when my cat was at the hospital, he called to update me with his condition. So far the best animal hospital I have even been to. ❤️

Don’t be fooled by the affordable title . My dog had fleas and the bill came to nearly 400 dollars ! Are you serious we are in a recession and this is affordable?. This is a vet office with a mentality to upsell you and squeeze what they can out of u . I had mentioned that my dog just took flea medication and they attached another dose which could of made him sick . I hate offices like this and have come across vet businesses that operate in such a way to utilize your beloved animal as a vehicle to squeeze whatever they can out of u . It’s taking advantage of peoples trust and tilting it as affordable is a ploy to lure you in . The disheveled office could use some upgrade with the money they charge . With that said the dr and his assistant were nice enough so I blame the greedy owner . Beware !

Do not recommend. You're not even allowed inside with your pet. After waiting to hear from them for 2 hours, they suggested $1,500 in treatments following (we're told) a "skin test" that determined she was at a 7% dehydration level... We were polite and understanding the entire time. We asked what a normal dehydration level was and she didn't know. She said she checked with the doctor and he said it was 7%. We asked what 7% was in comparison to and if it was a concerning level and the rep got up in a huff and suggested we speak directly to the doctor. The person was inconsiderate, dismissive, unprofessional and rude. I'll never go back to this place and would never recommend them caring for anyone's pet. The hospital was having a rough day. They were admittedly understaffed, a patient's dog had just been put down, and we understand these environments are stressful but the whole purpose is to provide safe comforting care to pets and their owners. We're not dismissing the challenges of working tin this environment but nothing abnormal for a vet clinic happened, yet they were incredibly unprepared and unprofessional. We paid an $80 service fee, left with our cat, and will be looking for a second opinion elsewhere. This felt like a group of people who were inexperienced and uninformed at best, a scam at worst.
