Allen Road Pet Hospital

This veterinarian provided exceptional care. The staff was friendly and welcoming. I called regarding an injured dog, and they were able to see us within an hour. The pricing was affordable and reasonable, and the follow-up care instructions were clear and thorough. The veterinarian prioritized the safety of both her staff and my dog at all times. It is a compassionate and caring practice, and I highly recommend this veterinarian to others.

I feel obligated to share what happened to our senior Shih Tzu, Lily agter seeing other's experience on Next door. In February, we took Lily to the vet because she was clearly in severe distress. She was struggling to breathe, could not settle down or lie comfortably, and we believed she was actively dying and suffering. We specifically brought her in because we believed she needed compassionate euthanasia. X-rays reportedly showed severe heart enlargement and heart failure, yet instead of euthanasia, we were told additional testing, bloodwork, panels, medications, and further procedures were needed. Despite her visible condition, we were sent home with our dog still suffering. I called veterinary offices and emergency hospitals across Bakersfield afterward, begging someone to help us because Lily continued declining. Nobody would take her in. Lily ultimately died at home on the floor in front of our family and children while struggling to breathe. It was traumatic and horrifying to witness. In my personal opinion and experience, Lily should have been humanely euthanized that day instead of being subjected to additional diagnostics while she was actively dying. I will never forget what happened, and I would never trust this veterinarian again with end-of-life care.

That was by far the worst, least compassionate ending of life for an animal I have ever experienced. My dog of 15 years was not sedated (extra $100 just so you know, they won’t tell you that) DESPITE me asking for it. I wasn’t told until after the dr tried to start the procedure that. She failed injecting her once with the euthanasia and had to do it on another arm. All while my baby screamed terrified and there was nothing I could do!!! It was too late! She was also bleeding every where. Disgusting and unethical. I told the people in the waiting room to run!!!!! They listened, thank god for that. Oh & it also smelled terribly in there.

Dr. Kamel took care of my father’s dog from day one and today she gently helped guide him across the rainbow bridge. She comforted my father as he mourned the passing of our beloved Walter McSchnoodle Bottoms and walked him to his car when he was ready to leave. When he reminded her he needed to pay she said later and tucked him into his car. Dr. Kamel is direct and no nonsense but no one could ever accuse her of not caring about the animals under her care.

I had an urgent issue with my puppy and called-they were able to get me in quickly. When I arrived I waited less time than I would have anywhere else. The vet is a powerhouse of a woman who even answers the facilities phone calls and rings you up at the end. She was blunt and to the point and most definitely the most fair price you will find. I will be returning and recommending her to anyone ! Thanks again !!

I’ve been returning here for the last two years since I found them. They’re a blessing. I certainly recommend them as your pets vet . Bear Bear recently was bit through his ear and had to get stitches. They did a great job and he’s happy for it!

Dr. Kamel has been very accommodating in getting my dogs seen when other Vet clinics were closed during holidays. She has helped save my Coco when she had respiratory problems. She also completed minor surgery on my Panda in such short notice. She is awesome, provides medicine and fees are reasonably low cost treatment. Both dogs are happy and healthy 😄🙏❤️ Thank you 💯
