If I could do less than 1 star I would. Do not do business with VCA. I was warned and didn’t listen. Lesson learned. I have a sick dog that I have already spent hundreds on and they did not fix the issue but want me to spend hundreds more to “see what works” and shove more medications down his throat or yet another jab (2 were required yesterday as I heard my dog crying while they jabbed him not once but twice!) I was charged $160 for a shot that was suppose to stop his itching. It’s been we’ll over 24 hours and he is no better and now this vet wants to charge me more money and shove more shit down his throat. I pulled my pets from VCA and only hope that in the interim my dog doesn’t get worse. They are rude and didn’t even care about my situation. Throw more pharmaceuticals at him and charge me out the ass for it. No thank you VCA. I have reported this to the BBB, have hired an attorney for the damages/emotional stress and fired VCA.

One of the many evil corporations in the USA. Weekend prices are $426 to walk in the door in Redding CA. without one look at one’s pet. When you try to research them good luck. If your pet does make it after hundreds of dollars and you get to your regular vet, that vet just looks at you with sorrow and says nothing we can do you got ripped off. RIP VCA Asher Hospital in Redding CA is an emotional and financial drain. Do not go there unless you have unlimited funds and unlimited emotional resources. They buy up rural vets leaving folks with 2 choices. Kill the pet or take them to Asher.

Lakeside Vet I would give no stars if that was available. My 7 year old cat had dental surgery. They told me that the insurance would cover it and then they told me that my part was $500 when I brought her in for surgery. They lied to me. I have spent a small fortune there. When I told them I sold my mom’s house, that’s when it got even worse. I guess they saw me as a cash cow. They put her on several meds that cause aggression. It made her really sick. Then the vet tells me that the stupid vet that did the surgery missed a tooth. How do you miss a tooth unless it’s done on purpose. They kept having me bring her back and giving her injections of solencia for her tooth. Milking me for money. This is malpractice. I’m not happy at all about them. I even heard years ago they put a dog to sleep that was brought in for boarding. They’re the worst vet clinic I’ve ever been to. Now that my cat is off all their meds, she’s doing so much better. I wouldn’t trust them with a dog turd. They put us through hell for a few months. I won’t ever take her there again. They don’t care about animals, just money.

I bring my dog to VCA Bell Brae Animal Hospital in Collingwood Ontario, for the past two years while I was in Florida my daughter brought him to another Animal Hospital, this year brought him to VCA for itching problems and vaccines. Well I was charged for 30 APOQUEL $169.54 Exam $115.54 Lepto Vaccine $50.00 Bordatella Vaccine $50.00 I thought it was a bit too steep so I went back to look at the invoices of the animal Hospital where my daughter went and their prices were 30 APOQUEL $108.00 Exam $96.00 Lepto Vaccine $24.00 Bordatella Vaccine $24.00 I can understand there may be $20.00 difference in the exam but double the price on the APOQUEL and the vaccines that I don’t understand

I just adopted a kitten. I received a voucher for one appointment. But I don’t want to do that because she got back from surgery before I got there and all they will do is a check up even know she though so many vets that are at spca . They been calling repeatedly and adding me to their email list and emailed me. Stop acting like a free appointment voucher is a written contract. It makes people want go somewhere else with some respect for their customers.

TWTMC,,, I'm not impressed, waiting 10 days still on a 72 hr biopsy. This is completely unprofessional and I've disputed price gouging of procedure quote. 50% less at a local competitive Veterinarian in San diego area. Seeking partial refund for overcharged services not rendered in a timely manner.10 days later and still no notification of biopsy results for my loving10 year old Bulldog family member. And unavailability to even communicate with Main Street Veterinarian. This really stinks. Filed dispute with CITI CARD Sincerely Irritated, Charles Batsch

VCA did hundreds of dollars on unauthorized work on my dog yesterday and when I disputed the bill for which no staff member including vet tech, the vet himself, front reception failed to provide me the requested written estimate before he did the work.I was antagonized and berated by a front desk person for 8 minutes before I was given my dogs. I paid immediately upon entering. The front office person began raising her voice as I stepped back to distance myself from her, while she proclaimed she was acting professionally. I asked to to please stop and she continued. When I said I’d post my experience to Instagram, her and the other staff began grinning and holding back laughter. She then began trying to force me to co form a surgery appointment for the doctor I fired! When I didn’t she just went in for the final blow. I have indisputable proof of my review. Messages have been left with corporate and complaint filed with my bank.

I had apprehensions going to another VCA as I was pretty sure the usual sales pitch for (mostly unnecessary) vaccines and (very) toxic flea & tick prevention would likely be part of the visit. It was worse than I thought and felt more like a time share presentation selling their 'care club'. My dog has 4 of 42 teeth left and I was still told yearly ( anesthetized) dentals were important. For crying out loud!! Oh yeah worth mentioning is that she didn't even bother to look in his mouth.
