VCA San Mateo Animal Hospital

I love VCA! I was able to get my dog, Motor, in fast for his skin allergy flare up. He was miserable. The doctor started him on allergy medication. He received the injection that day. He was better immediately. Almost no more scratching or chewing on himself. THAT DAY! Not only had he been miserable but he was making ME miserable too. We were both able to finally get some sleep. Everyone was so nice to Motor. Thank you again VCA!!! ❤️❤️❤️

VCA, on short notice and with excellent care, took our kitty PK in for vaccines we hadn't realized expired. We were really in a pinch because we had a vacation that day but wasn't aware multiple vaccines of his had just expired! They were extremely accomidating and even followed up to check on our little fella after. Thanks VCA!

We started going to VCA San Mateo about six months ago when we adopted our puppy, and overall we've had a great experience. The medical director, Dr. Bolich, is wonderful. She's incredibly smart, compassionate, and genuinely cares about the animals she treats. Even though she's very busy, she always makes herself available and takes the time to listen and make sure I feel comfortable with what's being recommended for our little pup. I really appreciate that she's open to feedback and easy to talk to. I trust her advice and also think she's just a really cool person. The office staff is also great. They're kind, friendly, and usually try to to get back to me quickly. I've only met one of the other vets, Dr. Becker, but she was also fantastic. Highly recommend!

I have nothing but good things to say about this place. My 8-year-old border collie had some gastrointestinal issue, and I was trying to look for a place nearby. Found this clinic and decided to take him here. All the staff here were friendly. Dr. Becker gave some very helpful advice and recommendations. The charges were very reasonable. They have their own parking lot, so parking was not an issue. I highly recommend this place to anyone seeking quality service.

As soon as you talk to a vet it’s all about selling overpriced services. my dogs health did not seem to be their priority. Only reason I came here was because vca bayshore merged with them.

I took my dog in for veterinary care and asked questions about various cost estimates. The veterinarian Dr. Becker wouldn't even discuss it with me. It was obvious she knew things were expensive, and she couldn't care less. She sent in the business manager with cost estimates, which were very high. I could tell the business manager felt bad about it, but Dr. Becker did not care. I obtained more reasonable prices and better care elsewhere.

I have been here twice now and both experiences have been amazing, the front desk staff is so nice and kind over the phone as well as in person, and worked both times to fit us in for a next day or two days out after others happened to have a cancellation-I’m sure we got lucky but I appreciate that they called us to follow up! The veterinarians are great too-we worked with Andrew and he was very transparent with costs and helping us to figure out the best options for our kitty while also being mindful of potentially unnecessary testing. We opted for testing that we could then use to assess our kitty’s health and come back for more if needed. Don’t hesitate to come here-office is inviting and with partitioned waiting areas in case your animal is scared of others, and staff is so wonderful.
