Armstrong Pet Hospital

Armstrong pet hospital does not care for pets they care about money. Our baby had his second knee surgery there yesterday. 2 months ago he had the 1st one 5437.00 this time we didn’t need some of the medication, cone, belly sling. But when we picked him up they said it cost the same as last time. We said that doesn’t make since we aren’t getting some of the stuff. The vet tech said ya they just move the price to the price of the surgery. Also on the estimate it say for the surgery 3770.00-4270.00 they charged 4294.00 even more than the high end. We asked why it was on the high end of the estimate on both surgery if nothing went wrong? She said the doctor just decides what he wants to charge. Drop off was at 8-8:45 we got there about 8:15 he was not in surgery until 1:30 the first time and after 3 the second time. Pretty sure they don’t take them out to go potty.

Great place, professional staff, billing up front cost analyst and payment due services rendered. Have Care Credit for credit card, flea and tick shots, 1 year ,Bravecto Quantum.

Clean and organized office. Never a terrible wait in the main area. Long wait in the room, but preferred over waiting in the lobby. Fee for visit was average rates. I brought all three of my dogs to the same appointment. Although I was told it was one charge visit for all of them, they charged me three separate times. Every time I was here they found a way to introduce an extra "recommended " charge that was terribly expensive. They don’t give you a hard time about saying no but you definitely have to bring it up as an option- also not out of the normal. I had to check my pre- invoice carefully. Health certificate was expensive. Medications were overpriced. Great for routine visits not for urgent or emergent care. The staff was nice, but the vets themselves aren’t particularly pet friendly for their field. Clean, convenient location with average routine visit costs. Longer wait times in the rooms.

My elderly Great Dane had very complex issues and Dr. Arti was fabulous working with keeping him comfortable and managed. Their pharmacy staff also went to great lengths to research how best to save costs on the many meds he needed. Anyone with a giant breed knows the meds are so expensive, especially if they are of a complex nature. They provided affordable options and went above and beyond to help my boy. This meant the world that they would work with me however we could to keep him as healthy as possible for his situation. He lived for many years being more comfortable with major health issues because of them. He almost made it to his 10th bday, which is remarkable for his breed and a dog with his health issues.

Armstrong Vet has one of the largest waiting rooms of any vets in the Fresno and Clovis area. It is very comfortable and chic. Even with several assistants at the front desk, you do have to wait a little bit but Dr. Reyes was worth the wait. She was warm and friendly with my dog and very knowledgeable. I fully believe that my dog was well taken care of during his surgery and the lab work was thorough. We were sent home with medications that were ready at pick-up and good instructions for follow-up care. We'll see them again in a couple of weeks.

I had a horrible experience with them. Casey was so rude and not caring about our pet's situation. They would not help us until we trapped our cat. It was a traumatic experience and even I got a bad bite and had to go to urgent care. It took us a couple of days to get him trapped. He had not eaten in 4 days. It took so much time to get him ready to go. We finally trapped him and got him in the car. I called Armstrong and once again spoke to Casey. I told her I trapped him and if they could take him. Casey put me on hold and came back and said they were short staff and could not take him. Are you kidding me???? I will never be back or give my money to a rude and uncaring Place. I would defiantly have someone answer the phone that actually cares about your pets.

My family has been bringing our pets to Armstrong Pet Hospital for the better part of the last 15 years, which means they’ve seen a lot of our pets. Both the vets and their staff are incredibly kind, compassionate, competent, and amazing. They never push services that your pets don’t need and explain everything thoroughly. I recommend them regularly friends, coworkers, and even my physical therapist recently who was looking for a new vet. I trust every one of their vets and won’t take my pups anywhere else. The best pet hospital around. Can’t recommend them highly enough.
