VCA Santa Anita Animal Hospital

I always appreciate the care and kindness of Dr. Shaw at VCA Santa Anita. The entire staff clearly loves animals and do their best to make them feel special. I do feel like the organization does take vet care to the extreme with the “just to be sure” tests. I do appreciate the care club and feel that it was beneficial for the kittens that we adopted. They were well cared for and are now solid, healthy cats.

It's good and great customer service, but in my personal experience, it's expensive! It's good that you get unlimited regular check ups but to get a diagnose, you have to pay out of pocket we are talking about $600 for blood work and more for x-rays. Yet I wasn't able to get a diagnose on my feline. I had to make my own research (priceless) to know what my feline had. Took my feline to a low cost vet ($250) and immediately they were able to let me know he had feline asthma, and he was finally able to get the appropriate treatment. Now he is doing much better.

The RVT Lauren S. is so fantastic with animals— such a kind and patient demeanor and has handled our senior cat with such attentiveness and care. She always explains everything to us in great detail and has a calming demeanor. The clinic does get very busy on some days so there is a bit of a chaotic energy but Lauren’s bedside manner is somehow completely immune to this. We are always thrilled when she is our assigned vet tech!

I have been bringing my dog Perla to VCA Santa Anita for few years now. We come here because of world class veterinarian - Dr. Jeffrey Najarian. He is absolutely amazing! He knows everything there is about dogs, he is an amazing surgeon, and he is a wonderful human being, always kind, warm, always having time and patience. He is one of these extraordinary people who even though so much more busier than others - always has time to help, think, and enhance lives of everyone around. My dog Perla adores him! In addition, today we met the most amazing vet assistant here! Her name is Alexis Daniels . She was kind, knowledgeable, patient, truly present, and super gentle with my dog Perla. She took time in everything needed and she had the most beautiful smile on her face. We really thought that Alexis should truly be a role model for all vet assistants and customer service associates out there.

Dr. Najarian is simply the best. Eventhough I have moved out of Arcadia to North Hollywood years ago, but I still comes back here for my cat Smokey. Dr. Najarian always takes time to explain and answering questions and he's very open minded to explain all the options, prices, plus pros and cons, for that I sincerely appreciated 🥰 I have joined the CareClub about a year ago because my cat has been getting old and all the exams she needed can cost a fortune in other places (and I know that after the fact...). At the time, the front desk lady DID Asked if I would like to have the option to unsuscribe the program after a year, and I signed and agreed. So the pet owners CAN have the option to opt-out after a year. Every time I am here, the front desk and assistants are always all very friendly and helpful. I have not experienced any problems out of the five visits I have been here. The only thing is they can get busy and the wait time can be a while. But hey, this is just another sign that they are great and trustworthy so the wait time is worth it imo 🙂
