  Found a sweet little cat with a collar on.went to VCA to get her scanned for a chip and they refused to do it. The person at the front desk initially greeted us and the kitty with a very warm welcome. Once we asked for a scan, it got very weird. We were trying to find her home and they wanted nothing to do with it. We are not “rescuers”, and we had no clue what to do. VCA was not helpful or compassionate at all. I will avoid using there services if needed in the future. Went to Metropolitan and the nice person at the front desk scanned her in less than 1 minute.

  First I just want to say thank you so much to the staff at this hospital! I took my cat in Tuesday night for a blockage paid $989 for them to unblock him just for him to re-block Wednesday ( which is to be expected because I didn’t have $4000 for him to stay overnight and get fluids etc). I had to make a decision to either put my 2 year old soul cat down or bring him home to die. Unfairly I left him because I was in so much distress and felt so defeated about killing my cat or bringing him home to die ( I got him after my grandmother passed away and he became my light in such a dark place in my life). Fast forward they ended up doing the procedure to save my cat and billed me $3,334.25 as I did not have that kind of money they still allowed me to pick up my cat and told me do not worry about it. I cannot thank these staff enough for what they did for me and my cat it just shows there are still wonderful genuine people in this world. Idk if yall read these reviews but just know I am beyond grateful for each and everyone of yall. Thank you so much!

  I took my 6 yo standard poodle, Bobby in for coughing and vomiting. I thought he had kennel cough but wanted to make sure he didn’t have bloat. They served us immediately because they realized he was very ill. It turns out he had bloat. The emergency vet was excellent in explaining his very complicated case. The usual radiological signs for bloat were not present. She presented all options. She did a procedure to buy time. She was not able to pass an NG tube when it should have been easy. She explained to me the possibility that he had the type of bloat where the torsion is 360 degrees vs 180. She had the surgeon come in immediately to do surgery. He indeed had 360 degrees of torsion. The surgeon also explained everything well. She informed me that the next 48 hours were crucial to see if his stomach would be viable. She was skilled in performing the surgery. 48 hours passed and He is recovering well under the care he was given. As a physician ,I truly appreciate the degree of professionalism , the expertise and skills of the veterinarians and the kindness and care of the staff. They are the best. May the Lord bless them all.

  I’ve used VCA several times now for my pet emergencies and they are never anything but amazing. I would like to especially shoutout Maddy for her kindness while I was having an emotional moment. They also made sure to send frequent updates on the wellbeing of my kitties.

  Had to go there last night due to a dog bite incident in my neighborhood. We were greeted so nicely by everybody and they treated my dog like their own. I was nervous to go in and they immediately made me feel better and took care of my dog. They were very thorough in all aspects of it as well. Thank you everybody for your help. The staff was so great.
