Pick up and drop pff time is ridiculous. It takes 30-45 min for them to take my animal for a drop off and the same time to pick up. Should not take thislong to drop off and pick up an animal.

Besides the fact that the minimal wait time to get your pet seen no matter when you go is 4-6 hours, they will suddenly deny prescription refills with no notice, regardless of the pet’s condition and then demand a “recheck” to continue their prescriptions although they will not schedule any appointments. They do nothing to accommodate or help anyone who brings their pets to this facility unless the circumstance is fatal. Be very weary when considering this Animal Hospital. Service is beyond horrible and might be worse off here than going anywhere else that you can find to accept your furry friend.

I'm extremely disappointed. I took my dog in on an emergency and they did great. I called to make an appointment to be seen and was told I couldn't because he wasn't a regular patient. He is a new pet. I have been taking my pets there. My last two dog have passed to old age.

Elias Roiniotis | Sep 18, 2019

Yes you can but they will charge you a fee. Small price to pay to be a good human being and help a hopeless little animal

My cat hasn't eaten or drank in days and Im afraid she is dehydrated. I took her today to her vet but they only did some blood samples and sent her back home. I don't think she can resist one more night like that. Can you see her today?

Hey my puppy is sick and throws up watery foamy stuff and has lack of appetite and is really weak can you guys help?

Carlos Castro | Sep 17, 2020
Ashley Nipper | Sep 17, 2020

Take them in to see a vet after calling. Say you think it might be parvo if there's diarrhea alongside the vomiting. They might need time to clear the area since parvo is very very contagious.

My dog is having a seizure she gave birth I'd say not long about a week she just got a seizures the thing is we can't afford the fees is there anything to treat them at home

Immortal_Essence | Sep 17, 2020
Karrie Rhodes | Sep 17, 2020

No. I'd take the dog in right away. They have payment plans, but the dog could need help asap as the seizures could be a sign of complications from birth.

My dog eat rat poison and it has been two months would it be too late to take him to the vet?

Robert Pineda | Sep 18, 2019
Michael Wellman | Sep 18, 2019

Anything we, or dogs eat is metabolized in a few days at most. Depending on how big your dog is and how much it ate there may be no problems going forward to some problems that may need mitigating only a vet could feel you. However, if the dog is still alive it won't die from the poison at this point. Depending on the poison though there may be lasting effects like I said, and it might bit hurt to schedule a physical to be safe just in case there are lingering effects.

I have a 5 year old female german shepard/lab mix. She might have a yeast infection in her ears. There's dark waxy buildup in her ear canals & she rubs& itches constantly. Is there an OTC med or any home remedies? Or should I take her in?

Raymond Ancheta | Sep 17, 2021
Deep tanks | Dec 21, 2021

1/2 apple cider vinegar 1/2 rubbing alcohol. 70% not the 90% rubbing alcohol. The apple cider vinegar is an antibiotic and a light acid so it works on yeast and bacteria. The rubbing alcohol is drying so it takes care of the moisture that is letting the yeast or bacteria thrive. If your dog has any hair inside the ear you can clean it out every couple of weeks or at least once a month to prevent ear infection and yeast infections.

Can someone tell me how much they charge too see a cat with a swollen face

Shawn Woods | Sep 17, 2021
Rebeccah Watson | Sep 17, 2021

Would not recommend going here with a cat. They're much more experienced with dogs. I don't seek to lose them business but they ignored my cat's swollen tongue and just gave him pain meds. I'd take your cat to Good Cat. They care about cats and don't charge much. If they can't see your cat today, I'd take a chance with this place then but know it can take hours because they're very busy.

Nikki Westervelt | Sep 17, 2021

This is not posted directly to the vet's office, this is posted to the public to answer questions. You may want to call them. Their wait times are longer because they are receiving a lot of calls.

We Had To Take Our Queendland/Kelpy Grace To Them Because She Ended Up Having A Tumor On Her Spleen. She Was Already Bleeding Into Her Stomach & The Dr @ The Time Told Us That First Of All We Had Done Nothing Wrong, Because There Was No Way To Tell That She Had It, Anyways Second She Didn't Think That Grace Would Make It Through Surgery, Then She Said Matter Of Fact, I Don't Think She Will Make It Through Anastasia. That's When We Decided To Put Her Down. They Even Let Us Go Back & Say Goodbye & Hold Grace While They Put Her Out. I Thought That Was AWESOME. The Reason For Taking Her There As Apposed To Taking Her To Our Regular Dr. Was Because (We Had An Apt With Our Dr) She Had Started To Get Labored Breathing & That Scared Us. As Well It Should Have. Bottom Line We Were Very Grateful For Bakersfield Veterinary Hospital. 🤗🤗😘😘😇😇

No it does not. I have no idea which one that is. Sorry.

I have a 6 month old puppy he has had his shots but earlier today he started having diarrhea and vomiting, his diarrhea has a little blood in it And he has a fever. Can I wait til the morning to take him to the vet ?

Angie Monte | Sep 17, 2021
Donella Gardner-Underwood (Purplewolves) | Sep 17, 2021

From what I know of with puppies & kittens they sometimes get a fever & vomiting from their shots, but most of the time they don't & they advise you to bring them back if it gets to bad. I would wait about 30 minutes to see if it mellows out or goes away. If not then take him in. In the mean time I would take cool wash clothes & wipe him down or put him in a Luke warm bath to bring the fever down. Get him Pedialyte for babies to keep him hydrated. Good luck & always, always enjoy ur animals.

Marlene B. | Sep 18, 2019
Elias Roiniotis | Sep 18, 2019

The visit would cost 120$ just for them to assess what needs to be done. But after that it's not that bad for the quality of service you get there I think it's worth it. If you love your animals price shouldn't matter.
