  I wanted to share my recent experience at Almaden VCA Animal Hospital on Almaden Expressway in San Jose in case it helps other pet owners. I brought my elderly cat, Shiloh, in for care and paid for diagnostic testing. Unfortunately, I was prescribed the wrong medication—a probiotic intended for dogs—which made her extremely ill and worsened her already fragile condition. What’s equally concerning is that after I paid for testing, I never received proper follow-up, results explanation, or continuity of care. When I raised concerns with management, I was dismissed as a client rather than having the situation addressed. I ended up having to seek care elsewhere and pay additional costs while dealing with a very sick pet. I never received an apology or any accountability for the mistakes made. After 25+ years as a client, this was heartbreaking. This is not about cost—it’s about trust, communication, and proper care. I would strongly encourage others to ask detailed questions, verify medications, and ensure follow-up is provided before proceeding with treatment.

  I had a disappointing experience at VCA Almaden Valley Animal Hospital during what should have been a routine check-up for my dog. While waiting in the reception area, I witnessed a blonde staff member in scrubs, who appeared to be in her late 50s, slam a candle topper making staff visibly uncomfortable. More concerning was how she spoke to the front desk staff. Her tone came across as condescending and hostile. From what I observed, they did nothing to warrant that kind of response. Seeing this kind of interaction in front of clients reflects poorly on the clinic and raises concerns about the work environment. It undermined my confidence in the practice, and I hope management addresses it.

  I found a lost dog, I stopped by to see if they have any informations on shelters, the lovely girl at the front desk informed me that the shelter is closed for the day but offered to take the dog in because I couldn't keep pets at my place Thank you VCA staff
