I have taken too long to write this. Dr. Melanie Benz is absolutely incredible. She will take the time to answer any questions you might have, she is honest, caring and always available. I hope you never have to see her, but if you have a pet with cancer, she is the best in my book. Our Reeve is still doing amazing after completing her chemo early last year. I know the cancer will probably come back and take her at some point, but for now we are enjoying every minute with our beautiful Reeve

My 13 year old cat, Elton rapidly became sick and I took him in late night once I figured it out (with cats I find it very hard to tell if something is serious or they're just being weird). I'd used ASG in the past for my cat; I found them to have friendly staff. 24 hour service was key, transparent with prices. The vet discussed and helped me work through treatment options, listening to and accounted for my philosophy about not wanting aggressive treatments and didn't push them. On the downside, the wait time post admission was a lot longer than they said; e.g. a ½ hr wait turned into almost 1.5 hours; with no interim updates. Better would be to give a range of time. As with all US medical care (pets and people), I found it a bit mercenary from a financial perspective, but it's a business. Elton ultimately died there.

VCA Kearny Mesa provided such amazing care for our dog Manny at the end of his life. He received care multiple times from both the Internal Medicine team and the Emergency team during the last year and I cannot say enough good things about our experiences. Every veterinarian, vet tech, and front desk staff member we encountered was professional and compassionate. Unfortunately we had to make the difficult decision to let him go this past weekend and the Emergency care team helped him cross the Rainbow Bridge in the most peaceful way.

I have nothing but good things to say about the VCA animal specialty group. Unfortunately, on 18 November I had to bring my kitty in named charger. He was 18 years old and he was very sick and he ended up passing away, but they were extremely compassionate. They were very honest with me And they were very gentle and loving towards my cat. They wrapped him in a warm blanket and make sure that his last goodbye was not chaotic at all I just wanted to say thank you so much and I appreciate all the care that you did give him in a short amount of time and I really love the paw print and the cremation process that was given to me . I did not remember the doctor that was on call for that night around 8:30 PM, but she was amazing and very sympathetic .

This clinic saved our dogs life within a 4 hour visit. We took our dog to another 24hr facility and they almost killed him. Brought here and w a simple plan of action and not leaving him crated up for days w that cost, he was back to normal within a week or so. His platlet count went to nothing so he was bleeding out. We spent 5k at other hospital w no diagnosis and they presented us w a blood transfusion diag that would have been astronomical. Literally cost $200 for the vet to fix him here at this clinic. Biggy is fine and a healthy boy living out his best life. Ty for everything VCA.
