Preventive care
Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

this was years ago, when i lived in alameda, but my first two cats were patients there, and i always appreciated the staff, their compassion for the critters AND people, and i even liked the space itself! easy to get to, modern, clean, with fun stuff around to check out. then i adopted a kitten that ended up very sick, and had to get to the vet on the same day as i was to attend a funeral. the hospital did their best, but he didnt make it. they kindly took care of him safely until i was able to return, i think the next day. i dont know if its standard practice, but my previous and current vet would never have done that, and i will always be appreciative of their services. if i still lived there, they would certainly be my vet hospital of choice. [pics are of my girls, thisbe and cassie, theyve gone a long time, but i cant pass up an appropriate opportunity to show them off, still.]

Sort this place by lowest to not be fooled by by the faux overall rating. Imagine having an hr long interview of non stop questions to be answered, followed by an invite to the facility for a few hours to get a "feel for the job", and finally an invite in person to tell you that they would like to move forward with you and discuss wage/salary. The wage was agreed upon, was oddly asked for references after 3 meetings/interviews (that should have been requested then) before i left which I promptly sent the hour I got home with my direct contact info, and was never to be contacted again without any explanation. I can only imagine this kind of bizzare communication and games for a job there would suggest a level of incompetence to be a patient there.

Had to schedule dental procedures for my 7 year old fur baby after dreading it for the last year but seeing a big decrease in eating and a change in Behavior it was definitely needed. Alameda Pet Hospital was great, they were very upfront about procedure and cost and kept the total price with in the original estimate. They even called the next day to check on Tucker post-op. I would highly recommend them for any Veterinary needs, we have been going with them for years and have never been disappointed. There covid-19 compliance is great and I never once felt sad for leaving my pet even though I couldn't take him in to the building and I had to wait in the car when it came time to pick him up

While in California, Kona is well taken care of here. The staff and doctors are all nice and caring. Not Kona's favorite place for obvious reasons but certainly a place his family trusts!!! As a professional in human health care, both Drs Harris and Wagner and their team deserves 5 stars!

First time visit for my newly adopted feral kitten, overall good experience. Got two shots(doesn't include rabies one, because baby boy is too young), two types of blood test and an exam/check-up, skipped de-worm thing since I have the medicine at home. Total paid $150 for this visit, not bad. All the staff menbers were friendly & this vet office is not so difficult to get an appointment. My baby needs to do another two maybe three visits for completing the whole vaccination.
