Chico Animal Hospital

I have a little Chihuahua that had very bad diarrhea and was lethargic. We discovered that she had eaten some red seeds from our Magnolia tree. I knew she needed quick medical intervention. She is a patient at Chico animal hospital but I was afraid to make an appointment for fear she may have to wait too long. I arrived early in the morning and apologized for not having an appointment. They were so kind and took me right away. She received an exam from Dr Enloe and some antibiotics biotics. They did the trick, thank God! The price was very fair and I was so glad that they didn't push me off and squeezed her in! Thank you again so much! PS, we have reconfigured our fence so that she can no longer get near the seeds!

I’m very happy with the professional care my Yorkie’s receive here. Dr. Kira seems to really care as the Yorkies are a little fragile due to their small size. As an experienced vet tech & previous kennel owner I’m very particular about my dog’s veterinary care. I like the fact this hospital is individually owned by the veterinarians. I have grown to trust the doctors and the staff are friendly & welcoming. I like that in an urgent situation I can get a same day appointment by paying an extra fee.

I called Chico Animal Hospital to inquire about the cost of neutering a rabbit. I was told I would need to schedule an initial consultation for $120 before they could provide any estimate for the neuter. I explained that I was okay with paying for an exam, but I was uncomfortable being completely blind-sided on the surgery cost. I was told their system is “old” and that only the doctor can provide pricing, and that there are “many different factors.” When I asked what those factors were, I was given no clear explanation. This is for a young, healthy male rabbit, and I am trying to be a responsible pet owner by planning ahead financially. Not being able to get even a rough estimate before paying $120 feels unreasonable and discouraging. Veterinary pricing has become extremely expensive, and the lack of transparency makes it difficult for people to responsibly care for their animals. Situations like this are part of why so many animals end up abandoned or not receiving proper care. I was disappointed by the lack of upfront information and would have appreciated basic price transparency before being asked to commit to an office visit.

Extremely friendly staff and they were able to get my cat in the same day to take a look at a possible injury. It was his first time there and they handled him gently and affectionately. We were in and out in less than an hour. Location is great too. I would definitely recommend their office to others and plan to keep my cat a patient there. Thank you!

Chico Animal Hospital is amazing. My husband and I are very low income and the staff allowed us to make partial payments on our bill and the staff was friendly and caring and welcoming. I love that they have a cat on the premises too.
