Bear Valley Animal Hospital

First time coming here and it will definitely be our last! The wait time is absolutely ridiculous 2 hr wait for shots and a health check! The vet was nice and great until it was time for shots the nurse definitely had no patience for our poor boy, she was trying to give him the mouth medicine first instead of leaving that one for last, then she felt like he wasn’t letting her administer the medicine and didn’t even ask us if we want to give it to him ! Instead she says she’s taking him to a treatment room why ? Not sure! Why did he come back with a random rope around him and she said it was because he was getting of his harness?! That was completely unnecessary to us! We didn’t see him getting his shots and he came back all scared 😟 We feel more effort could be done when administrating shots, pawrents can definitely give a hand if needed! No need to take our poor baby to a treatment room. The price was the same as any other vet, we went there for the reviews on prices and turns out not much of a difference! $154 for shots and office visit! Definitely price is not that great! Would not come back for any of our doggo babies!

I love this vet which it's why it pains me to leave three stars and this review. I brought my elderly dog with Cushings here and they are very knowledgeable and not afraid to refer you to a specialist when needed. The problem is the wait times. I picked this hospital because unlike the one closest to me, they take appointments here. Well they're suppose to. All 3-5 times I've been here, I've had to wait HOURS. everyday they take emergency patients that they can't fit in and people that have appointments get the short end of the deal. Even when just dropping off or picking up, clear your schedule, cause you'll be here all day. Today I went for a routine yearly check up for two of my dogs, I showed up half an hour early and signed in. I waited in my idling car for almost two hours after my appointment time. Never got seen. They did call me afterwards and offer me morning but I told them not to promise me that because I've been there in the morning and waited in the line outside and still waited hours.

Highly recommend Bear valley Animal Hospital 💕 Staff is soo nice, Dr did so good with my Nala. She went in with a pyometra condition at 9 years old & he saved her life. I couldn’t thank this place enough, especially Angelina for guiding me thru it all. I’m so so thankful for this Hospital, if you need your little/big doggies ever checked out or immediate help don’t hesitate to take them here! 😊

Came for a second opinion and quote. My usual vet quoted me almost $900 to remove a fox tail from my dogs ear. Bear valley animal hospital did it for half the price. I could tell by her demeanor and some of the things she did (like tell me what she saw and why we would need to sedate her) that Dr. McGowan went into this business bc she genuinely cares... and not for the $. Rare find. I didn't consider the other vet to want to shake me down but after seeing this one, I'm coming to that conclusion. If you're in town for a vet, these guys are honest, will try the simplest/cheapest routes b4 reaching into your wallet. The other place charges a cheaper exam price but they'll get you afterward. I'm so happy I found this place and saved $400. The staff was friendly, the only thing was the wait to pick up my girl after the procedure... it took about 20-30 minutes... but not the 2.5 hrs that someone else had to wait, so definitely an improvement!

It was a wonderful experience.I have never felt so good about leaving my animal with this hospital. And they are so willing to work with you and they do follow up on keeping you updated. I can't say enough positive things about them. They are warm, sincere, polite and caring. And I appreciate all of that

Took my cat in to get spayed, they have the most reasonable price compared to other practices. The receptionist was very nice as well as other employees we encountered. Drop off time was 7am, her surgery done by 1030, home by 130pm. First time visit, but definitely won't be the last. Thank you to all the staff at the Bear Valley Hospital!

The only place in the HD that allowed me to bring my sick kitten (Pebbles)for an Emergency Vet visit . Thank you for saving her life . Many thanks to the front desk staff , vet assistants and to the Vet Dr. Velasco ! Everyone was extremely kind !
