We had a wonderful experience! The care team is warm, friendly and supportive. My sweetest girl in the world had her first well-visit appointment of the new year and I wanted to find a new Veterinarian Clinic because I was officially done with our last Vet because they always left a bad taste in my mouth, so it is refreshing to finally find a care team with top tier compassion and warmth. They even brought in equipment into our room so that I can be there to offer her comfort and support while being poked and prodded. She was stressed for sure and inhaled 3 whole Churu’s bc…NERVES! but she did so well and was such a good-good girl. I look forward to a happy and healthy year and beyond with them.

i am writing regarding my recent visit to modern animal pet hospital with my cat on 01/14/2026. during this visit, my cat presented with hacking, sneezing, congestion, dry heaving, and labored breathing. i expressed my concerns about a possible respiratory infection and the difficulty she was having breathing. during the visit, i was recommended a series of extensive tests, including a respiratory infection test, that totaled around $2,000. i asked the vet assistant for guidance on what she would personally recommend, and she suggested internal testing of blood, urine, and stool at $523 but did let us know she was unsure and it could be a respiratory infection. trusting their professional guidance as i am not a veterinarian but aware we could be wrong, we proceeded with that, and my cat was sent home with only an immune system supplement, with no treatment or relief for her clear respiratory symptoms. i was told the supplement “might help,” but nothing was done to address her breathing difficulties. additionally, i did make staff aware that she had gotten worse overnight, showing additional symptoms like hiding and appetite loss. in retrospect, i now see that my cat had clear signs of an upper respiratory infection, and a different test or approach might have been more appropriate. however, i also feel that i should not have been expected to make that medical decision on my own, given my limited knowledge, and that the staff should have clearly guided me toward the most urgent and relevant care for her symptoms. i do want to note that everyone at the clinic was very friendly, kind, and attentive to me and my cat, luna, and i truly appreciated the care and compassion shown during the visit. this makes it even harder to reconcile that the urgent symptoms were not addressed appropriately, despite their kindness. shortly after, my cat’s condition worsened, and i had to take her to an emergency vet, where she was diagnosed with a respiratory infection and feline herpes—conditions that clearly required immediate attention. it was very distressing to realize that the symptoms i had been reporting were serious and needed treatment, rather than simply internal testing and supplements. as a young adult, i am not in a financial position to spend $500 or more freely, especially when the testing did not address the immediate and obvious symptoms my cat was experiencing. while internal tests can be useful in some cases, they did not address the visible signs of respiratory distress in this situation and delayed appropriate care. although i am appreciative of these tests and know they are still good to be done, after visiting another vet, it now seems very obvious by her worsening symptoms. i am requesting a formal review of my case, as well as clarification on why treatment for obvious respiratory symptoms was not initiated despite my concerns and following the guidance of your staff, and how future patients in similar situations can receive timely and appropriate care without being expected to make complex medical decisions on their own. thank you for your time and consideration. i look forward to your response.

My dog recently had to have a few teeth pulled, and I was understandably nervous. Aside from grooming, he’s never really been away from me, especially not for something involving anesthesia. What helped calm my nerves was receiving a photo of him in his crate before surgery. He looked relaxed and content, and it felt like the team instinctively knew I needed that reassurance. We’ve visited Modern Animal DTLA a few times since becoming members, and I’ve consistently had a positive experience. The staff is genuinely caring and always prioritizes my dog’s well-being. I will say, they are expensive. I did get quotes elsewhere. But when it came down to it, I chose safety and quality of care, especially with anesthesia involved. My dog is doing well, and I have no regrets. Thank you to the Modern Animal team for taking such good care of my baby.

I’m so grateful for my new veterinarian! Dr Rosa’s She treated my dogs with such kindness and compassion. You can tell she truly cares about her patients—my dogs felt comfortable right away. It’s rare to find someone so professional yet genuinely caring, and I couldn’t be happier with the care we received. Highly recommend!

First time visit. I was skeptical cause the name and the appearance seem like its out of my budget. But it was actually one of the most affordable ive been to (and possibly the best). You can tell they love to do their job. They took care of me and my kitten so fast. I was in and out in 30 minutes. Again the prices are affordable affordable affordable! I can rave so much more about Modern Animal. The treatment I saw of other pets as well was more than enough to convince me I was in the right place. Thank you To Dr. Han and Sabrina for their help with my 3 week old kitten ! We will be coming back for his long term care
