I brought my dog in for heartworm and flea meds. He was given all vaccinations needed at once and an appointment for dental cleaning in a week. Three days before teeth cleaning my little dog got wobbly. I took him in and the assistant suggested that he had eaten marijuana. I was embarrassed, but it could very well had happened, so I took him home. The day of his teeth cleaning came and I was told they would run tests to make sure he was ready for the procedure. I called again and they said he was fine with no extractions. I brought him home. He was lethargic for days. Then he developed chronic diarrhea. I brought him back. Dr. tests again and diagnoses him with pancreatitis and sends me to Emergency because it was a weekend. Emergency and El Camino go back and forth and my dog was in obvious distress! I cried, I screamed, I insisted something was wrong!!! He died in my arms….$5,000.00 later!!! I still haven’t recovered from this horrible loss and I will not recommend this hospital to anyone.

Really love this vet! We've been taking our 3yo cavapoo for 2 years and recently had our new puppy join Camino Alto's care. For our 3yo, Camino has been there to provide routine vaccinations, preventative care and gland care. In the last year he was diagnosed with pancreatitis after a messy weekend. Thankfully, he got fluids in time & new diet immediately. For the past 9 months Camino has helped us monitor his levels and recommend low fat diets - effectively dropping his "metric" from 2000 to 400, where 200 is the normal. Our new puppy got all her vaccinations, spayed and appropriate after-care at Camino (she LOVES everyone there). Camino has also helped us navigate Giardia. Neither of our dogs have a fear of the vet because of how great everyone is! Staff is friendly, vets are caring and great at taking care of our babies

I had an emergency with our 15 year old Golden doodle. Someone had put a tight rubber band around his back right leg... and it was there, unknown, and for so long that the band had penetrated through to tendons!! We discovered this after 5pm. The vet waited for us as we raced to their office. The validated that he still had good blood flow to foot. Nerves still ok. It's been 11 days since and he's made an almost perfect recovery...

We are so lucky to have found Camino Alto. We tried to make appts at several vets and Camino Alto was the only one accepting new patients. Thank goodness they were. The entire staff is wonderful: Andrea the receptionist, Tina the tech, Dr. Vaikhary, each of them were all so kind and patient with my dog. He’s an 80lb rescue pittie mix who had a terrible experience w his previous vet so I was really nervous about how his appt today would go and I couldn’t have hoped for a better outcome - all thanks to the Camino Alto team for taking such compassionate care of him
