We took our dog because she was suffering from vomiting and diarreah that was making her dehydrated. She hadn’t ate anything in a almost two days. Every other vet and emergency vet kept turning me down because it wasn’t that big of an “emergency”. I called Encina and they were very friendly on the phone and understanding. We brought our dog and they took great care of us. The doctor was very kind and worked with us in terms of service and costs. I have to say they are great and highly recommend them.

The person answering the phone is so rude I'm going to drive 75 miles just to go to our former vet where we lived in past years. She hung up on me when I had trouble understanding something because I was crying because my pet was sick. I was asking for clarification, and she mumbled something and hung up. Before she hung up on me she had an attitude toward me as if I was not welcome there because I've never been there before. It's a weekend 24hour pet ER, of course I haven't been there, my pets have never had an emergency before. Not sure I'd trust her with my sick baby.

I highly recommend this veterinary!!! First visit my dog was attacked (by what I am not sure, I am thinking multiple very large raccoons) my dog was bleeding to death had already bled enough her hiend quarters were sucked in. Anyways when we walk through the door covered in blood they didn't hesitate what so ever walked us straight into the operating room, even moved another animal off the table. Had me set my dog down and asked if they could give her pain killers. Me not knowing weather she would survive due to the amount of blood loss I said "yes as much as u can", cause I didn't want her to be in pain if she did pass but they worked a miracle and she ended up surviving. She had stitches everywhere, vet even said "it looked like whatever attacked her was actively trying to rip her leg off". Second time we brought her in we noticed she was acting weird so we brought her in and found out she had piometra (uterus completely infected) and needed emergency surgery and gave us several options for the surgery due to price which was a blessing cause at the time we were financially hurting and they helped us with the care credit I believe it's called. They even said "we would let you take her out of here to look around for a second opinion but with how bad it is it could burst which would kill her we don't feel comfortable with her moving around". Long story short they saved her live again always a good experience at this vet and they r open 24 hours a day can't beat that never bringing my dogs anywhere else. Thanks again VCA Encina you guys are great

I had a great experience with Dr. Elizabeth M. and her assistant Alex. Dr. M. made poor Lucy feel comfortable. I was so happy to see my kitties favorite doctor in person! I always have a great experience, they are compassionate and very respectful. Thank you and see you soon! Margarite

what is the cost for emergency room

We've used them for emergencies many times both on and off hours. The cost is variable depending on the treatment needed. I've anyways found the price to be worth the quality of care.
