Griffith Pet Hospital

The whole team at Griffith Pet Hospital is amazing!! They provide only the best of care to my little princess, Naomie. The facility is very clean and well organized. Naomie had all of her vaccinations here, and today she underwent a succesful spay procedure. All the information, before-during-and after the surgery, was well explained by Dr. Ruiz. Thank you to the whole team -- you're all PAW-SOME!!

I brought my dog in for a neuter, dental cleaning, and microchipping, and the entire process was handled with such care and professionalism. I felt completely at ease after meeting Dr. Ruiz and his team! Dr. Ruiz and his staff are incredibly kind, thorough, and made sure to walk us through every step so we knew exactly what to expect. After the procedure, they kept us updated and provided very detailed aftercare instructions, which gave us a lot of peace of mind and showed us how much Benji was cared for. Not only is Dr. Ruiz an amazing veterinarian, but his team is also very welcoming and trustworthy. We’re so happy with the entire experience and would absolutely recommend this hospital for all your pet’s needs! Pricing is also great compared to other pet hospitals!

It is a relief to go to a locally owned vet where each visit you (and your pet) see the same staff and the same doctors. My cat is sick with liver failure and even he doesn’t fight me as hard as he used to go to see the vet. After our first time at Griffith Pet Hospital all the staff knew me and my cat, Chester’s, name. Griffith Pet Hospital lets Chester out of his carrier when he is in the exam room. This is a huge game changer for Chester because it lets him have a sense of autonomy back and also get some sniffs. Chester and I have never been to a vet that had this practice before. Pricing is reasonable, or at least doesn't feel like price gouging like some of the corporate vets do. Testing and a surgery to place a feeding tube cost us a little over $1,000. However the last time Chester had a medical emergency, they charged A LOT more than that! Dr Ruiz is very communicative and has been following up in emails about monitoring Chester and reviewing his labs and tests. And, the best part of all, Chester is getting better due to Dr Ruiz’ protocol and guidance. All around 5 stars for experience, friendliness, cleanliness, communication, and medical care.

I brought my fur baby to Griffith Pet Hospital with Dr. Ruiz for a fairly complex procedure that included dental work with about teeth extractions, a tumor removal, and a few other treatments. From start to finish, Dr. Ruiz was and continues to be very thorough, professional, and took the time to explain everything clearly. My Benj was well cared for throughout the entire process, and I felt reassured knowing he was in good hands. I’m forever grateful for the attention to detail and care shown by the whole team. I also brought a previous dog here many years ago, and my experience this time reminded me why I trusted this clinic again. Overall, again, I’m very grateful and would definitely recommend Dr. Ruiz and Griffith Pet Hospital to other pet parents! Thank you! 🙂

Dr. Ruiz is a phenomenal doctor. Him alongside the entire staff are all extremely helpful and will make sure your pets needs are met with utmost urgency and respect. In my case, Dr. Ruiz and his team identified issues my dog had that other facilities had failed to spot such as stage 3 kidney disease. They quickly worked up an effective treatment plan that helped stabilize my buddy and extended his life for much longer than he would have had if we had gone anywhere else. This place is also very reasonable in regard to pricing, especially compared to more corporate vet hospitals such as VCA. They also don't play around with their walk ins, I went in multiple times as a walk in and was attended within minutes, no matter how busy they were. If I could score it higher than a 5/5 I would. In my 10+ years as a pet owner, this is the best vet hospital I have been to and Dr. Ruiz is the best veterinarian I have had the pleasure of meeting. The same goes for the rest of the staff.

I was so happy to hear that Dr. Ruiz is back in Glendale!! We took our little old timer Bellarina in for a wellness check at her age and was so happy to have such great customer service and care. Val & Yesi, the front desk receptionists are very kind and helpful which is great. What a BIG difference from the previous staff!! Had a wonderful visit with Dr. Ruiz! He listens and is very compassionate about his work! Bellarina was really comfortable with all the staff because of their caring energy towards her. Thank you to Dr. Ruiz, Dr. V, Berto, Val & Yesi for taking the time to care for our cat. I forgot the name of the other lady in the back but she was so wonderful with our cat!! I made sure to refer all my pet lover friends to Griffith Pet Hospital!! Also, their prices are so much better than VCA!!!

My cat Thackery had an entropion issue that was diagnosed last year around August. I put off addressing the issue for so long, mainly because Thackery already had a surgery done to remove the fox tail that I knew was in there. Luckily Dr. Jorge Ruiz was attentive to what I had to say, found it, & removed it. But that is when we had this entropion issue. Despite me not wanting a 2nd opinion (from an opthalmologist which would've cost about 4x as much), I trusted Dr. Ruiz to do the entropion surgery. And I am so pleased that we agreed on him doing the surgery because just after 2 days it definitely is healing very well, his eye is starting to look better too as he now can open it wider than before. Happy cat, happy owner, and so relieved!
