Murrieta Oaks Veterinary Hospital

This is my new favorite vet in town! Kayani spent so much time listening to all of my concerns and accurately giving them to the vet which made the appointment efficient. Dr. Adriance was fantastic about explaining all the details of what problems my dog currently had and the recommended treatment options. I really want to shout them both out for being patient with Nova and allowing me to tell them how to best touch and examine her because she has past trauma for the vet hurting her. Thank you guys for making it feel normal to just listen and adapt to us pet parents. You’ve got a lifetime customer in us 🩶

My two dogs have been going here since they were pups and they’re about to turn 5 next month. The staff is very kind and helpful. We recently had, what we felt, was an emergency and they got us in right away. They were very kind as I was trying to hold back tears. Travi, my dog who had the emergency, is very anxious and the tech and vet were gentle and stayed calm, which helped Travi stay a little calmer. They answered all our questions and worked with us and kept us up to date. Pictures are of his first visit at the vet (the staff sent it to me) and yesterday when he was recovery. Thank you so much for taking care of our baby boy.

I just got home from here and I have to say that the receptionist, Dr. and her assistant were very professional and knowledgeable. We got there relatively early and took is in immediately. If I could, I would give 10 stars for the professionalism and services rendered. My dog was treated very well even though she was super nervous which is normal for her. I highly recommend them and am going back to this place as long as they dont move.

Amazing staff and Dr Schmitt is so down to earth and honest. He laid out my options so plainly. I have been to several vets and emergency clinics for my rescue and many visits revolve around pricing from the first contact, many estimates, and costs in the thousands. At Murrieta Oaks, my first visit was free and I paid $110 for xray/ultrasound. $110 out the door. This practice is ethical when many these days, are not.

*NOTE: my review of Murrieta Oaks Animal Hospital is incomplete as Google does not offer enough characters for what I want to tell you* This is incredibly difficult to write, but I need everyone in the Murrieta, Temecula, Lake Elsinore, & Menifee area to know that whether your animal companion needs regular veterinary care, is having an emergency situation, or is in the need of end-of-life care - Murrieta Oaks Animal Hospital is the only place you need to go for your pet’s medical needs. Don’t even bother looking for other options, just go directly to Mur Oaks Vet. From the bottom of my heart, I am forever grateful for finding Murrieta Oaks Animal Hospital - I especially want to thank Dr. Lee, Kelli, and Ashley. These amazing women helped me through a very difficult decision and a most painful loss of my beloved fur baby; my cat Mee-Mow. They did so with great compassion and care to both Mee-Mow and myself. If you are facing the difficult end-of-life process with your animal companion, you need to take them to Murrieta Oaks Animal Hospital. Do not bother looking elsewhere, this is place you and your pet need to be. NOTE FOR THOSE CONSIDERING OR NEEDING EUTHANASIA: For those who need to make the difficult decision to put their beloved animal companion to sleep, this is the process I experienced at Murrieta Oaks Animal Hospital - their end-of-life care for your pet involves bringing you and your fur baby into a quiet and comfortable exam room, walking through the required patient paperwork, then a visit and exam with the doctor who will then advise you of possible options. Once humane euthanasia is decided they will take your animal companion to another room to place an IV then bring them back to you in the exam room with a comfortable blanket. Then they give you a remote control button and leave you with as much time as you need with your pet’s final time. When you are ready, you press the button and the doctor will come in and explain what happens next and what to expect after the administration of the two humane and completely painless and peaceful euthanasia medications through the IV. You are then given the remote button again and told, with compassionate emphasis, to take as much time as you need with your animal companion. When you’ve decided it’s time, push the button, and they will come retrieve your pet from the exam room. When the process was over I had so much grief, but I also felt at peace, and that is entirely due to how animal care (and human parent care) is conducted at Murrieta Oaks Animal Hospital. Additionally, it should be known that I am someone on a “low-budget” (pretty much a “no-budget”). I had called many facilities prior to finding Murrieta Oaks, and all the costs were astronomical for someone in my situation, and I was feeling very hopeless. When I called Murrieta Oaks to ask about pricing, their costs were at least half of everywhere else that I called AND they also emphasized that they would give Mee-Mow a free exam prior to making final decisions. The cost was $230 for the end-of-life euthanasia process - I’m including that number in my review because if people are in the same situation I was in, I do not want them to have to spend hours calling around trying to get answers about costs. If you think you can find a better price elsewhere, I’m telling you now, you are incorrect. Save yourself from the labor of looking for somewhere better, and use that saved time to be with your beloved pet, because you will not find a better cost anywhere else in the area especially for the impeccable quality care you will receive at Murrieta Oaks Animal Hospital. ABOUT THE PHOTO: The attached photo is of Mee-Mow, several days before she suddenly became gravely ill. I watched her sit like that for 20 minutes. At the time I made a joke that she was worshipping the Sun. But now I like to believe that the Sun was worshipping her. Love every single moment you have with your animals - they are giving you the priceless gift of their lifelong companionship, treat them well and love them deeply.
