Very friendly and accommodating staff! Took lots of time with us with the first pet we brought there---a lizard. The doctor called to follow up with us later that week to ensure the lizard was doing ok. We will be transferring our other pets there!

These guys are wonderful. My family has taken our house pets there all their lives, and so when I got a new cat I took him there too. My kitty unfortunately soon got a condition called FiP which had never even heard of, but Dr. Myers was extremely informative and compassionate about educating me and keeping in touch about treatments. He did some simple bloodwork and then gave me options for treating Oliver. Instead of insisting on high-cost treatments he was informative about the holistic options I preferred. When Oliver eventually passed away, Dr. Myers sent me a handwritten consolation note, which I thought was just demonstrative of how totally this clinic cares about its patients and their owners. (On the day Oliver died, when I brought him in, one of the receptionists gave me a big hug.) Now I have a new kitten and he will be going to this clinic as well. Can't say enough good things about them.

I recently had an appointment for an office visit for $72. When I arrived they said that they were to busy and I needed to leave my dog with them they would have the doctor see him sometime during the day. Later I was called and told that my dog would be ready after 5:00pm. When I arrived to pick up my dog there was a bill for nearly $500. I asked what for TESTs, blood, urine, ect., I did not authorize these. I was told that I must have or they wouldn't do them. This was Not True! I wasn't there to agree to more than an office visit. These folks were so busy running up unnecessary test & costs that they forgot to ask for permission and now they refuse to do the right thing and still to this day demand payment. I recommend Dr Butchko in Riverside A bit of a dive but it will save you time and headaches I took my dog there instead, they did not do any of these ridiculous tests that were inconclusive. They gave me an office visit for $22 and 5 different medications all totaling less than $105 for everything. Also, Dr. Butchko declined preforming sugery on my dog for a cracked tooth due the dogs age, which Animal & Bird was more than willing to do and change $900. These folks really dont care about anything other than just making money off your pets mis fortunes.

I have never written an on-line review before but felt I owed it to others out there who might be researching a good vet for their pets. When we moved to SJC, we decided it was probably a good time to switch vets. We hadn't been that happy with our previous vets. One seemed to be real big on giving our dogs and cat every vaccine possible with high price tags to go along with it and the other vet was a bit less money but the quality of care didn't seem the same. So, when we moved, I went on line to try and do a bit of research to find a good vet for our animals. Based on the reviews, I made an appointment for our two dogs at Animal & Bird Clinic and am so happy that I did. At long last we have found our vet! The staff at ABC is very friendly and the doctors are wonderful. They have old-fashioned, common sense values and don't vaccinate your dogs just for the sake of giving them another shot so they can collect another fee. They truly care about the well-being of your pet. Testimony to this is how Dr. Coward responded to us when we brought our beloved dog Kona into them because she had been run over by a car. She was really hurt and needed help. Dr. Coward immediately assessed the situation and came in to give us updates on her status. It turns out, thankfully, that Kona didn't suffer any severe damage. We were so impressed with the compassion and thoughtful way Dr. Coward cared for our dog. It was evident that her well being mattered to him. He reviewed with us all of her x-rays to show that there was no damage to internal organs and was very good about explaining what we were seeing. What really got us to feel that this was a different kind of vet who was helping us, though, was his offer to take our dog home with him that night to observe her if we weren't comfortable with taking her in her condition. And, here is the clincher, Dr. Coward even called later that evening to make sure she was settled and doing okay. My husband and I can't recommend ABC enough. If you are in the same boat we were in and are hoping to find a place that is honest, compassionate, professional, and competent for your pets, I would look no further; Animal & Bird Clinic is wonderful.
