  Had to take my very sick husky on a weekend. The staff was so kind and caring while working with my fur baby. The cost what I expected. People say it's really pricey but if your pet gets regular, one knows it comes with a price. I would use them again.

  Terrible terrible experience, my dog was not moving at all she was basically paralyzed but because they said “her feet move when we touch them” that it’s not an emergency and we’d have to go somewhere else. They state they were busy but yet there was only two people in the entire place. I get that it’s Mother’s Day and they want to go home but this shows you the lack of empathy and care they show for your pets. I can only imagine how many people they do this to. I know it’s limited in Bakersfield for emergency pet care but they need to get a staff that actually puts your pets first.

  Lleve a mi gatito, y me estaban cobrando demasiado, ya habíamos pagado la consulta de $181 dlls, al final nos estaban cobrando las medicinas, hidratación, examen de papacito. El total era de casi 500dll yo no tenía esa cantidad en mi cuenta así que les dije que si podía regresar mañana para conseguir el dinero a lo que me dijeron que no por qué me cobrarían otra vez la consulta que ya había pagado!! Salí de ahí llorando de coraje, esta gente no tiene corazón no entiendo cómo son veterinarios si no se pueden tocar el corazón!

  Our 16+ year old cat was displaying some concerning behaviors. We suspected renal failure, but wanted to be sure. We took him in early the next morning and everyone we encountered was so attentive and pleasant. After getting his vitals, things did not look good, and doctor confirmed what we dreaded to be true. She gave us options without any pressure and once we came to the decision to say goodbye, she gave us information for an in-home service. In such a heartbreaking situation, the staff at VCA really made it bearable. Thank you.

  I can’t say enough about the entire team at the VCA Bakersfield Harris rd. location. From start to finish, the customer service was exemplary. We were dealing with an emergency situation with our 18-year-old fur baby, and they went above and beyond to help make sure we could get in when we needed it most. Everyone we encountered was kind, professional, and compassionate during such a difficult time. A special thank you to Dr. Blair (I hope I’m spelling the name correctly), who delivered the inevitable bad news with such care and understanding. As heartbreaking as the situation was, Dr. Blair gave us the facts we needed in a way that was honest, gentle, and not overwhelming. That compassion made an incredibly painful moment a little easier to process. I hope you get to see her when you have to visit the hospital...Otherwise I hope you never have to take your pet to any hospital. We are so grateful for the support, empathy, and dignity they showed both our pet and our family. Thank you Dr. Blair for helping us move forward with love and clarity during one of the harder moments we will face. Last note : Arrive early for any walk ins. We arrived at 730 and were the last to be seen.Luckily we arrived as the last walk in this day..
