Hayward Veterinary Hospital

I love this place!! Dr. Harper and his staff take such great care of all my pets. I bring my dogs and guinea pigs here. What I really appreciate is Dr. Harper is open to new information and ideas. I feel like we are in partnership in care for my guinea pigs, especially but also my dogs. Here's a story, I thought my elderly dog was at end of life and brought him in for euthanasia. I wholeheartedly trusted Dr. Harper to help me make that decision. Dr. Harper came in, examined my boy and asked if he could do x-rays. Turns out, Benito was healthy. He somehow experienced a collapsed trachea that Dr. Harper is treating with medication. THAT is the level of care and compassion you'll receive here --- from reception staff throughout the hospital, you'll receive great service!

Luca had his first vet appt. today and we couldn’t be more happy with our experience. Staff and Dr. Harper were very welcoming, friendly, and had great sense of humor. They were very careful and caring when handling our rabbit. We’ve been hesitant to book an appt. for Luca anywhere but so happy we found this place! Updated Review: Recently adopted a 2nd bun Canela and we already knew we would bring her to HVH for any needed care. Once again cannot say enough great things about the staff and Dr. Harper. Always have our questions and concerns answered and leave there happy and knowing our bun was given the best care.

Three weeks ago we took our dog Milo in for dental surgery. He is a rescue dog, so we are not sure of his age, but close to 14, and has a heart murmur. We knew he needed dental work, but worried about his age and health condition. I made an appointment at Hayward Vet and met with Nahtali. She was extremely knowledgable and thoroughly explained what needed to be done (and what may need to be done). Milo ended up having 18 teeth removed (yes, 18) in addition to cleaning, etc. He was a bit out of it the next day, but the following day, he was like a new dog. We couldn't believe it. His age and heart murmur make this surgery risky, but they knew exactly what they were doing. If your pet needs dental work, I highly encourage you to start here. Their services and costs are very transparent-no surprises. Thanks to Nahtali and the whole team for their kindness and excellent care. Plus, Milo came home with a certificate for bravery where it proudly hangs near his water bowl!

We have taken our cat to Hayward Veterinary Hospital three times this year and have been consistently impressed by Dr. Keith Harper and his entire staff. Their compassion and thorough care are unmatched. I especially appreciate the follow-up calls after our visits to check on my cat’s progress. Dr. Harper is incredibly responsive to questions and always provides clear options. I really value how they make us aware of costs upfront and distinguish between what is necessary for a diagnosis/treatment versus what is simply recommended or can wait. They are very cost-conscious and reasonable. We are so happy to have finally found such a trustworthy and flexible vet for our cats!

If I could give this place six stars I would! I have a larger breed dog with anxiety who has been turned away from multiple vets claiming she is too aggressive to give vaccines or have her nails trimmed. Today, my dog got 4 vaccines and her nails clipped with ease. The prices are affordable. The staff loves on the animals, are mindful about animal temperaments and actively seek to minimize distress to those in the waiting area. The nurses and veterinary assistants provide clear, yet detailed instructions. This was the best vet experience I have had in 11 years! I know some clinics for humans that aren’t half as nice as this animal hospital. Many thanks to Dr. Harper and his wonderful staff. You guys are the standard! ☺️

I am thoroughly impressed with the care and service we received. The staff was kind, professional and extremely competent. The pricing for their services was very reasonable. If you are looking for an old school vet with all the advantages of new technology, look no further.

Really wanted to thank Dr. Harper and the team for taking care of my pup. My dog can be apprehensive in new environments but the team took their time to get to know him and made sure he was comfortable. The appointment went by smoothly and the team took their time to explain everything to me. Everybody was super nice and helpful! 🙂
