  So grateful to Dr Landa who is one of the few vets I can trust not to catastrophize or upsell me on expensive tests or treatments. Me & my 14 yo baby have followed her to VCA. Of course a senior dog is going to have health issues, but Dr Landa’s treatment plans have always been spot on. Shes super knowledgeable and definitely a big part of why my old girl is still doing so well!

  Finding a veterinarian you can truly trust is priceless, and we are so grateful to have found one. Thank you, Dr. Landa, for taking such wonderful care of our 17-year-old fur baby and treating him with so much love, kindness, and compassion. It means the world to me to know he is always in such caring hands. I highly recommend Dr. Landa to anyone looking for knowledgeable and compassionate veterinarian.

  Been following Dr. Landa for years. I go where she goes. She’s great with my two pups. She always listens to my concerns before diagnosing and or sharing her recommendations. Does not push unnecessary procedures or medications if not absolutely necessary. My dogs are prone to ear infections and seasonal allergies. Both love Dr. Landa and are always calm around her. My pups will be seeing her again for their annual checkups.

  Dr Landa is awesome! 100% recommend taking your pets to her. She’s kind and listens to your concerns and takes you seriously. My lil pitty loves her. She’s so knowledgeable too and continues to sharpen her education. She once prescribed a new medication that helped my dogs anxiety tremendously and it helped solve behavior issues that no other vet could address bc I was constantly dismissed. My dog was struggling to potty train but turns out she was just anxious when I’d dint come home right after work! It was frustrating bc other vets would run tests and there were no bladder issues but Dr Landa helped me get to the bottom of this. I’m so grateful to her!

  The entire experience was going so well The entire staff and location was great - everything was awesome -- Until the Vet ( Dr. Janet Landa) felt she had to push her force-free agenda on us in a passive aggressive and condescending way that made both the rescue sponsor and myself very uncomfortable ****FIRST OFF**** Vets are NOT educated in canine behavior, nutrition, or other specialized fields unless trained - which Dr Landa is not -- and even if she was -- we came for a neuter and bloodwork, not a training consultation SO - when im trying to keep us on track on the objective of the exam, and Landa keeps on trying to highjack the appointment to become a behavioral consultation --- like lady.....be trained in behavior and start your own training practice if you really want to undermine successful dog trainers that use tools (boohoo) I am a canine behavior specialist that works with rescues and vet clinics - from Malibu and Thousand Oaks, to Dallas, TX and New York, NY. This rescue reached out to me for help - I recommended we look at certain vet hospitals, but the rescue really wanted to save money, so they found this corporate vet clinic (ooof) The receptionists were nice, the facility was nice, but the moment the Dr realized I was a behavior specialists who uses equipment without a college degree (sorry ive had 4 mentors - dont need it ;P), she got very very very passive aggressive and pretentious Implying that she was advocating for the dog and that I was not Implying that I was uneducated And trying to convince the rescue's sponsor, to find another dog trainer -- like lady I've saved so many of their dogs --- are you insane?? We are going to pick one of the 4 local vet clinics that refer to me instead of VCA Parkwood even though theyre more expensive than Parkwood -- simply because of Dr Landa's unwarranted, unrequested, and passive aggressive behavior I know she's a new Dr there, but she should still be reprimanded Vets are no trained in behavior or nutrition, please stay in your own lane next time, and observe how you talk to your clients -- bedside manner encompasses more than just how we talk to the canine client - its how you also work the human component that matters - and she needs education on that .5/10 would fire her if she was one of my apprentices, but whatever not my business.
