  Our 12-year-old Australian Shepherd/Heinz 57 dog couldn't keep anything down for a few days. We brought her in, and got the worst news possible. Dr. Lauryn was very gentle but up front about her options. She gave us time to prepare and say goodbye. The receptionist walked us through everything as our hearts were breaking. She was wonderful. When the time actually came, it was our choice. They gave us all the time we needed. It was painless and quick. They let us stay with her as long as we could handle. I just wanted some pepto for my baby girl, but they helped us through the worst loss we've had in a little while. They work with Lasting Paws, and they turned out to be just as good as the hospital. If you have to have your heart break for your baby, they do it with care. Thank you, everyone, for taking care of Bonnie.

  I cannot say enough good things about Alameda East and Dr. Kopf and team. Our 10 year old chocolate lab was transferred to Dr. Kopf for neurology care for seizures. We thought we were going to lose him when we brought him in. He spent days in the icu but during that time we and our dog were given nothing but compassion and high level care. I'm happy to say that he made it, and is thriving more than he was before his seizures. We are so grateful for the care that he was given and the extra time we have with him.

  Let’s not bring our animals here. Paid $260 to have a vet look at my dog and hand me paperwork for a $2500 bill if I wanted to have him treated. Absolutely egregious price gouging behavior, preying on individuals who are often at their lowest moment with their animals. I wouldn’t support this company if you paid me to after this. Was initially $160 for the visit, but they went ahead and did a $100 diagnostic without bothering to notify me. This was charged to my bill as an ultrasound, but according to the vet, my dog was given no ultrasound. What a joke.

  I took my dog to this emergency vet due to concern for a GI obstruction after normal vet business hours, as she had vomited 2x and was acting uncharacteristically lethargic, seeming to be in pain. Dr. A. Yeager thoroughly evaluated her and quickly diagnosed the problem, which was actually not GI-related (ruled out on X-ray) -- rather, it turned out to be an abdominal muscle strain. My dog is scared of most strangers, but the doctor treated her gently and with care in the exam room. My dog felt much better after receiving a pain injection and some home pain meds, and 1 week later is back to her normal self. The check in/check out process and pharmacy pickup process was seamless. I would trust this vet with after hours care for my dog again.
