My wife 'n I would like to thank the staff at VCA for the compassionate way in which they helped us when our elderly Lab Lilly was euthanized recently . The Dr ( whose name I can't recall ) was especially gentle with our girl in her final moments . It's this kind of service that helps immeasurably when dealing with losing a much loved pet . Sincere thanks to all at VCA .

This place saved my dog's life! I will forever be grateful! I came in around 9:45 with my 6 year old West Highland terrier who was having a seizure. I know that she is just a dog... but to me she is my baby. They treated this situation as a real emergency. They rushed her to the back and came back out immediately saying that she was having a reaction to poison. Gave me a quote. Told me the options. I could go on and on. Only good things to say. I will forever be grateful for Dr. Amy Oliver and the wonderful care she gave my ... read more

This is my second encounter with VCA Mission Animal Hospital; they took good care of my cat when I brought her there seven years ago and so when my dog, Tess, started uncontrollable vomiting this morning, I took her there. I'm writing as her care progresses, so we don't have the end of the story yet, but here's my impression thus far: Everyone at VCA is very professional and truly cares about your pet. I was checked in immediately and taken to an exam room; since it was fairly early morning, Alex (at the front desk) even ... read more

I highly recommend VCA to pet owners! Recently I had to put my cat to sleep in the middle of the night. I was distraught and the staff really calmed my nerves and help me to find peace in the passing. They were very kind and compassionate and I'm so grateful they were there to help me. They are all saints in my book to do what they do for humans and animals at all hours of the night. The night receptionist, Karen, is a gem of a human being.

You know, these people have a super tough job. They get the emergency animals that other vet clinics can't handle. Our dog was really really sick a few weeks ago (pancreatitus) and he spent four nights at Mission Med Vet. He came home and was not out of the woods and the staff never sounded annoyed by my frequent phone calls detailing ever move he made. Kipper has made a great recovery and after a careful change in diet, we are hoping he will be with us for many more years. Dr Grigsby is one of the most professional and... read more

I've been taking my pets here ever since they were in their previous location at the corner of Johnson and Nall...about 20 years now. I can't say my experiences were necessarily good, but the circumstances that bring you here aren't very good. But my treatment and the treatment of my pets is always great. I had a dog who spent quite a bit of time here off and on and it cost me about as much as it would to buy a new car. So, no, it's not cheap. Not in the slightest. Prepare to pay big bucks if you have to bring your pet... read more

Let me first say that I have six dogs and I have been through many vets over the last twenty years. I used to live in CA., then relocated here. Next, my husband is a surgeon and has a SERIOUS tendency to be wary of most regular vets. (He has felt that many of them have always tried to sell unnecessary products and procedures just to pad the final bill). Because he has a very deliberate and cautious approach to his own practice, he isn't fond of vets who just start ordering up tests without care and thought. I breed and ... read more

My Golden Retrieve recently had TPLO surgery here. They did a fantastic job and she seems to be recovering great! I loved how comfortable they made me feel and literally told me to call anytime 24 hours. Every time I called the receptionist/nurses were so helpful and knew exactly what I was needing. The only thing is that it is a little far from my home and also when my dog got her staples out, they actually forgot to take one out. Luckily I noticed it right when we go home and took her to a local Vet. It was just an extra... read more

I took my puppy there for the first time yesterday. They were very friendly and professional. She seems much better today. The services are great but not inexpensive. If she gets better it's worth every cent (lots of them :) I spent yesterday. I hope I do not have to take her back again any time soon. But they will be my first choice if I do.
