  I am VERY PLEASED with how loving and caring the staff was today! I fell in love with Denise and her love for my cat. I was amazing at how relaxed my cat seemed in her care since he is Mr energetic. I would recommend just as a side note to maybe talk people through the process before doing money stuff. That’s all. I wouldn’t even call that a complaint I can’t wait to bring my cat back I legitimately had a good time today while I was there. The staff is as good as staff could be!! Much love

  I’ve been taking my dog to VCA Silverlake for about six years, since I adopted him from the pound. He’s my first dog, a chihuahua with trauma, and he has always required a muzzle during visits. I’ve consistently brought him in for annual exams and nail trims and trusted that his health was being appropriately monitored. At 7 years old, I recently noticed he is missing multiple teeth and has others that are loose. After researching on my own, I learned that his breed is highly prone to periodontal disease, something that was never emphasized or clearly flagged during routine visits. When I raised concerns at my visit today where he was diagnosed with Advanced Periodontal Disease and a possibly related heart murmur, the vet told me they “didn’t catch it because he wouldn’t let them see his teeth ,” and followed that by saying, “we would have had to knock him out.” This was said without empathy and a bit accusatory, the conversation was being recorded. If a dog’s anxiety or muzzle use prevents an adequate oral exam, that should be clearly communicated to the owner at the time, along with options such as earlier sedated exams or preventative dental cleanings- NOT explained years later after significant damage has occurred. My last visit to the VCA was three months ago. Because of this, we are facing extensive pre-anesthetic testing because the brand new heart murmur could kill him under anesthesia meanwhile the disease is possibly spreading to his little organs. Of all the services and addons that were discussed over the years, dental care was never emphasized despite his breed being high risk and despite the clinic knowing his exams were limited. This feels like a failure of preventative care, communication, and professionalism.

  We took our very sick female chihuahua mix, into this vet clinic, they sounded compasionate on the phone, but when we got there! It was all about the money, fees, xrays, ect!!! Barely looked our dog over, didnt even take her tempature, it was totally about whether you could pay there outragious fees!!! They werent concerned about our precious little baby, all there concern was about your ability to pay for there services! RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN FROM THIS HORRIBLE MONEY HUNGRY PLACE!!!! They want your money, not to treat your sick or dieing animal!!!!
