    Let me start out by saying I was told horrible things about this vet, and was told by multiple people to never go there. I had an emergency in the middle of the night with my dog and had to take her because it was right down the street. The staff is absolutely wonderful, from the front desk, to the nurses, to the vets. My dog was seen quickly, the exam was very thorough, and the vet did not order any unnecessary tests or treatments. I did not have to pay before treatment was provided, and when I checked out, I felt the cost of the services were very fair and not unreasonable. Unfortunately, I had to bring my dog back a second time that day due to an increase in pain. The second vet I saw was equally as kind and thorough as the first, and provided quick and efficient treatment. They made sure my dog was safe and comfortable before I brought her home. I was not charged for a second emergency visit, and again, the cost was very reasonable and fair. I woke up this morning from a text from the staff at VCA, asking how my dog was feeling. I highly, highly recommend this office, and am so grateful they were there to help me and my dog.

    We got in quickly for a visit with Dr. Diamond, ortho surgeon. By physical exam, he quickly diagnosed a problem our dog had been struggling for several months, and he was able to operate on her within a few days. She is now fully recovered and thankfully back to herself!! We are incredibly grateful for the exceptional care she received. All staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful!!

    I brought my cat to VCA Animal Hospital due to persistent vomiting. She was hospitalized for two days, received IV fluids, and had an ultrasound performed. Despite all of this, no clear cause for her vomiting was identified. We had planned to take her home after the first day, but were advised it would be better for her to stay an additional day to continue IV treatment. When she was finally discharged, she came home soiled in her own feces, which was extremely upsetting and felt negligent. No effort appeared to have been made to clean her before sending her home. During discharge, the medications were given to us without a clear explanation of what each one was for or why they were prescribed. Unfortunately, her symptoms continued after coming home, leaving me very concerned about whether she received the right treatment or appropriate medications. Given that we spent over $4,200 and still have no answers or improvement, this experience was incredibly disappointing and distressing. I understand that medicine doesn’t always have clear answers, but better communication, basic care, and follow-through are expected—especially at this price point. I hope this feedback helps improve care for other pets and owners.

    Brought my (very dramatic and chronically constipated) tuxedo cat in for a check up after he was clearly very backed up around midnight. Staff could not have been more wonderful and attentive despite how busy they were. They answered all our questions, kept us posted on how he was doing, and seemed to be so gentle with our little scaredy cat. They never pushed unnecessary treatment and were so honest with us about what they were planning to do and why and provided some next steps once we left. Will definitely be back if something urgent comes up, and will recommend the ED to friends and family. Thank you VCA for your treatment of us and our kitty last night it was really appreciated! You all do some great and difficult work there <3

    I have now brought 2 cats here both for what I thought were emergencies. The first cat was 2yrs ago. He was throwing up blood, got no answer. The only option they gave me for him was an ultrasound. They sent me home with anti nausea meds. I went to bring him in the next day for the scheduled ultrasound instead I was told I had a very sick cat. Right?! Thats why I'm here, to figure out why. Instead I left without a cat. No answer to what happened to him. Now I just brought a cat here. I found him limp and soaking wet in his own drool and drool just flowing out of him. They got him and came and got me and said he had a fever and wanted to do an ultrasound... no other suggestions for him either. Just gave me a print out with cost. Did the ultrasound and it was clear, they tell me good news its not cancer. At this point I didnt even know cancer could've been a theory. And they gave him anti nausea meds. I went and got him and was told just keep an eye on him. Really?? Get me for $1600 and told just to keep an eye on him?! Whyy does my cat have a fever?? No bloodwork?? Why was he soaked so bad in his own drool?? Is he ok to be around my other cats?! Is that all thats done to cats?! 2 cats anti nausea meds to both and no answers. EDIT TO ADD- i took my cat somewhere else the next day and they could tell just by hearing him in his carrier he has a respiratory infection. Weymouth acting like they couldn't hear his breathing and snotting. He got onto antibiotics... so again thanks for nothing. I want my money back. You did nothing for him. I kept my $1600 eye balls on him and didnt like what i saw.
