My 14 year old bengal was having difficulty breathing so I called around and LB Animal ER was the place that could see him immediately. He was having cardiac failure but they were able to get him in as soon as I got there and saved his life. I was so impressed with the entire staff's empathy and how quickly they took care of my fur baby. They called me to keep me updated and made sure I was comfortable and understood the treatment plan and options. Yes, it's expensive but so is any emergency care. They refunded me for the services=. Clients need to understand that you're getting emergency care by professionals (just like a human ER). It's expensive if you don't have insurance. I didn't feel like any costs were outrageous. They saved my cat's life and that's priceless to me. I ended up having to take my cat in the morning to another hospital to see a cardiologist and he's home now and doing well. I'm so grateful for the team here and they were all wonderful. 🩷

Needed emergency vet care recently on a Saturday night when my dog choked on a dog treat. The staff there were so helpful and my dog was taken care of right away. Everyone was friendly and the vet was awesome. I highly recommend Long Beach Animal Emergency if you’re ever in need of emergency vet care. The cost was reasonable too, which is huge! They called a couple of days later for follow up too. Great service

Unfortunately, visiting an emergency animal hospital means something is wrong with your pet. Twice it’s resulted in making a difficult decision for my fur babies to end their pain. This last time, my new kitten was in distress and the outcome was much better. He’s back home and healthy, happy, and playful. The staff at the LB Animal Emergency Hospital are always compassionate and caring, very open about procedures and prices, and do a wonderful job with the animals they care for. I hope to never have to bring a pet there but know if I do, they will be well taken care of.

Front desk was helpful and polite, wait time was long but I was warned before I arrived. Waiting room is clean. When my kitten was examined the doctor thoroughly explained to me the problem and the solution. Professional and straight to the point. Before I left I was given instructions and staff made sure I thoroughly understood them before we left. I got a callback a few days to see how my kitten was doing which I appreciate. My kitten was spayed and the following night she tore her stitches and needed to be re-stitched. Total cost including a cone was between 450 and $500. Small price to pay for a middle of the night emergency. Definitely not cheap but reasonable given the situation. I would return to Long Beach emergency hospital.

We were told to call ahead to notify them that we were coming. However, we still ended up waiting hours to get our pet seen who was quickly deteriorating even though we were the only people in the waiting room. The vets here may like animals but they LOVE money. Have health insurance or be prepared to take out a second mortgage to pay for their prices. I see prices for the same procedure elsewhere that are 1/3rd the cost of theirs. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to go anywhere else after being poorly recommended this place by another vet. Also, these people like the sound of their own voice more than letting you spend your final moments with your animal in peace. The small window I had with my dog while he was most alert was lost due to the vet incessantly talking and telling me things that didn't matter and could have been explained earlier. How completely unaware can you be? Overall, the staff was awkward to deal with and seemed unconcerned with the well-being of my animal. This place seriously needs new management. I would drive to an out-of-state animal hospital before I ever consider coming back here.

I highly recommend LB animal emergency for any medical care your pet needs. My dog wasn’t eating so we stopped by on a Sunday around 3pm and the place was pretty busy. They operate like an ER where they will care to higher risk animals. So yes the wait can be long unless your dog is bleeding out, as expected! We waited 1.5 hrs but as soon as we got a room everything went smoothly and the Dr, her assistant, and my vet tech, Melodie, were amazing! Super friendly and patient with all my questions. I will definitely be back if my dog has an emergency again. Disclaimer, YES the prices are steep compared to a normal vet but you are getting emergency around the clock care WITHOUT an appt. This type of care and the changing influx of clients they have to deal with are baked into the prices. Just like it would be at an ER. So please manage your expectations accordingly! Otherwise I suggest making an appt at your primary vet if your pet isn’t in any immediate danger.
