The staff and doctors here really care for our fur baby! When he was getting puppy shots but was too big for us to carry in, they would bring the vaccines to our car so that Kona wouldn't get exposed to any infections like parvovirus. They have an app which allows for 24/7 vet consult via messenger if you have a pet care plan. This has helped us on quite a few occasions when Kona ate some questionable things. We love Dr. D, and surprisingly Kona does not get scared at all when we go for check ups! He is our first dog and we have been able to keep him nice and healthy with the advice on feeding and general health from the VCA.

Veronica, director of dog boarding, was wonderful and very accommodating with my schedule to fit in my furry son Maximus Maximillian into an evaluation appointment as well as getting him a reservation spot for three days of playground time at the Big Bear VCA. Friendly staff and nice neat facility for all the visiting pups. We look forward to seeing you soon!

The folks at lakeside are wonderful, when I had to bring my old girl for her cat for her trip over the rainbow bridge, they were so very caring and helped me through the worst days of my life and took such special care of my Sheba and I appreciate it so much

We took 2 service dogs in for their rabies shots today and it went very well. The staff were polite and friendly. Also very efficient. We were in and out in about 30 minutes

Dr D. is flat out the best and most knowledgeable vet I've ever been to. I had my bay Crocodile for over 12 years. He was my world!!! He got real sick a months ago, his regular vet , (Dr kim) didn't catch what needed to be caught in the blood tests. Although she is very compassionate and attentive during our visits, she just does not have the qualifications of Dr D. Why wouldn't any intelligent veterinarian take a dog having diarrhea for 6 flippin months seriously!?!?? 😞😓 I finally got tired of her just switchin from 1 med to another, went to VCA. Within a week of tests, they were able to diagnose his serious Intestinal/ bowel issues, (due to lymphoma) & from day 1 took my baby's illness VERY seriously. He tried everything he could... but unfortunately, because of the severity and how long he'd already been suffering from the other vet's MIS-DIAGNOSIS, he passed away. Dr. D. saw signs of serious issues in his blood work, where Dr Kim ...only 1 month prior had said his bloodwork was perfect and he was healthy!!???? Meanwhile he had cancer!?? Sorry this was so long, but Crock was like a child to me. The staff and Dr D was sooooo very Caring, concerned & accommodating. He had several in depth phone calls with us, explaining every little thing, and never got impatient... no matter how many questions we had or how long we kept him on the phone. & all the girls there were never rude, even though I was calling Several x's a day... buggin with my concerns about my sick boy. They were always sweet, & understood why I was frantic. So all in all ....I definitely felt the love and the individual attention to the heath of my dog, and yeah the prices are a bit higher than the only other vet up here, but the knowledge & experience is worth it! Not trying to b mean, but if u look on the lobby wall of Dr. KIM'S office, her certificate is from a low level (probably online) "HOLISTIC" vet school????? Nice woman... but my dog wud still b alive had I started taking him to VCA, when symptoms 1st started. I'm sure of it! I now have a new dog & that will b his forever vet. Pic is my Crocodile ..RIP baby boy.
