  This was a great place for a sad situation. The staff treated us so well and took care of our dog like he was the only boy there. They were so kind & compassionate. I am thankful this place exists with wonderful people working there. They gave us the time we needed to say goodbye & made it as seamless as possible.

  Extremely Disappointed — My Dog Deserved Better I brought my dog, Lola, to Tulare-Kings Veterinary Emergency Service because she was suffering. She was crying in pain, unable to have a bowel movement, and wasn’t eating. What followed was hours of frustration, repeated requests for help, and an experience I wouldn’t wish on another pet owner. Lola had been sedated during her previous visit, and I returned because she was still crying and unable to defecate. I repeatedly explained that she needed pain management and that the prescription they provided could not be filled as written. Instead of resolving the prescription issue, I spent hours going back and forth with staff over something I had specifically asked for when I first arrived. I had to repeatedly explain why I needed the prescription corrected so I could order her medication. Meanwhile, Lola continued crying in pain. I was outside walking her and trying to comfort her because she could not stop crying. I repeatedly asked staff to address her pain. Eventually, she received a pain injection and take-home medication. I was also able to order her prescription online. However, Lola’s inability to defecate was not adequately addressed or explained to me. This was one of the primary reasons I brought her in. I requested that the hospital manager contact me regarding my experience. I was informed that the manager was on vacation. When I expressed my concerns, a woman behind the front desk responded, “Oh yeah.” I found the response dismissive and did not feel that my concerns were being addressed. I understand that emergency veterinary hospitals are busy and that emergencies must be prioritized. However, I expected my repeated reports of Lola’s pain and inability to defecate to be acknowledged and addressed more clearly. I paid for veterinary care and expected communication, compassion, and a treatment plan addressing the reasons I brought my dog in. Instead, I left exhausted, frustrated, financially burdened, and still concerned about Lola. Our pets cannot speak for themselves, so we depend on veterinary professionals to listen when we advocate for them. I am requesting that hospital management review her visits, the prescription issues, the repeated requests for pain management, and my concerns regarding her unresolved inability to defecate. I hope the hospital will review hthis experience and improve communication and follow-up for other pet owners.

  Took my little 9wk old pup in on 9/15/26 cause he had found something he shouldn't have and ate it. It was late at night, but they did an amazing job, what I suspected he'd eaten was correct. They gave him some fluids, got to come home and now he's his silly self again. Thank you so very much!!!!

  I had taken my dog Maxx to the emergency clinic because he wasn't eating and he left there in worse shape than he already was and I paid 275$ for what? For him to be in worse shape?And one of those women tried telling me what my dog shouldn't be allergic to when she doesn't know my dog or his history?So I would like my $ back like asap!!! My dog has past on,this is what happens when people take it upon themselves to inject some BS in your pet without knowing what their allergic to and I spent $ to have my dog killed at this place and some woman that is employed there tried telling me what she assumed my dog wasn't allergic to and talking over me as im trying to explain that my dog is in Worse shape than when he arrived there so people find another emergency vet because your pet may be next? I'm very upset about this,my dog was my son that I don't have and it sure hurts very much so.I love you my Maxx u deserved better than this place and people.
