Our rescue’d Mal, Zeus, is extremely fearful of strangers and hates being handled. I couldn’t believe it! We tried so many vets that just wanted to tranqu and treat making him lethargic for the rest of the day. The techs and staff are incredibly patient, gentle, and skilled, they handle his annual check-ups, vaccines, and treatments without the tranquilizer. We wish we’d discovered them sooner. Highly recommend, skip the stress and go straight here for your pets

It was our first visit and I'm very impressed. The staff greeted us right away. They were very welcoming and kind. They have snacks and drinks and even pub cups which is amazing cuz it made my dog so happy to visit. Vet tech Pauline was so great, kind and sweet with my dog and explain things very well. Listened really well, same thing with Dr. Tia. She's awesome and I'm so happy we found a good place. Dr. Tia answered all my questions and concerns and gave me possibilities for what's going on with my dog. They don't add on extra charges. They show you exactly what they're going to charge you for before they do it. I think it's reasonable prices for vet care. And I think they actually care about your pet and aren't just trying to add on things to get more money. I'm very pleased and would definitely recommend.

We started going here about 11 months ago for our new dog but quickly moved our other pets over to them, too. I love that they're able to usually get us in same-day for emergencies and normal appointments are never far out. Lots of clean seating in the waiting area. The staff, vets, and vet techs are all very kind towards humans and pets. When our elderly cat started getting sick, they made recommendations for tests and meds, but they were also willing to talk through alternatives as well. Price-wise they are much better than some other vets we have been to.

We came to the vet because of the need for cardiac services for our Keeshond and came away with a desire for a new vet for our three dogs. We were in and out in less that 20 minutes. We loved everything about the office, the vet, the support staff, the site, the parking, the waiting room, and the photo backdrop for the fall season. I highly recommend going to them for vet services!

I was very impressed with Dr. Melinda Benitez and the staff at West Coast Animal Hospital. Dr. Benitez was very thorough, patient, and thoughtful throughout the exam. She exhibited expertise and compassion while explaining findings and recommendations. Following the exam, my email correspondence with many questions and documentation requests for insurance purposes were promptly addressed. I received telephone calls and detailed reports with xray, blood test, clinical reports. I highly recommend Dr. Benitez and West Coast Animal Hospital.
