    They are the best Dr Houser and Dr Waltman did everything that they could for my baby boy Darwin. Everyone knew him by name, he was the best little boy ever. I will forever miss him. ❤️ I would recommend and trust them 1000 percent with my animals. Thank you for everything and the care you gave to him and us was just remarkable. Forever grateful

    I had to bring my cat in because she lost a lot of weight. The doctors were very thorough and discovered that she was in kidney failure. We had to make the difficult decision to put her sleep, as her condition was terminal. The doctors and staff at VCA El Mirage made the whole process very comforting. Thank you for making a difficult time easier on me and my family. I appreciate all of you.

    I’ve been going to this location for 9 years. Service is great, however, prices outrageous. I took my three pups in two weeks ago just for vaccines, $1500. They asked me to bring them back in two weeks for follow up vaccines and that cost me $600. In two weeks over $2,100 just for vaccinations. That is outrageous and absurd. That’s not ok especially being a customer for 9 years. There is an alarming rate of dogs being surrendered, and fees like this I can see why. Very unfortunate to nickel snd dime customers. A follow up in a series of vaccinations should not be $600. I hope VCA relooks at their fees. In the future I’ll go to AZ Humane who does vaccinations for $40. And no office fees.

    They ignored my concern for my animal just charging me hundreds of dollars for numerous appointments and antibiotics. I had a had gut feeling and finally went to a different clinic where they confirmed what VCA failed to. Now her severity has moved up and this all could have been prevented if they didn't only see their customers as dollar signs.
