East Petaluma Animal Hospital

Dr. Rupiper and his staff literally saved my dog's life after she was run over by a truck. We carried her in bleeding and they dropped everything and gave her the care she needed including emergency surgery. They were incredibly sensitive and compassionate and kept us informed the whole time. We are so happy to say our puppy is making a complete recovery. So much thanks to Dr. Rupiper and his staff for all they did to save our pup.

My bird gets all his medical needs from the best bird vet on earth! Very informative humorous and understanding. I’ve been to a lot of different vets in my life for cats dogs turtles, but these folks they’re amazing. You can see all the work they do for the community as well, and do a large part of their work for the betterment of animals :-) thank you for all you do

Wonderful vet! Very caring sweet and complimentative doctors. They made my husband and I feel very comfortable and good about how we are taking care of our huskies. Most Importantly they were great with our dogs! Made them feel at ease since the vet is not their favorite outing! Thank you for such great visits!

We are Petaluma newbies of about 7 months and we’re looking for a vet to care for our pets. Dr. Rupiper is one of the best vets we have worked with. So far 2 of our animals have been seen and each time he is very loving to them and thoroughly explains anything going on with our furrbabies. You can tell he has a real passion for animals and also making sure that us, the parents, are at ease in any situation. I feel so lucky and happy to have found his office. Office staff is amazing as well. 100% recommend.

Would not recommend this “animal hospital” to anyone. I wish I had read the reviews before bringing my bird here. Not only was Dr Rupiper super rough with my bird, they also charged me $125 for an examination when he took 5 minutes just to just look at the wing that was bleeding and tell me she was fine. He never checked anything else and majority of the visit was just having her in a headlock while she is screaming and crying of pain and all he was doing was giving me facts about birds. I didn’t come for that I came to see if she’s okay. I wish he had been more gentle with her. It’s the next day and she’s in way more pain than she was before I took her. She can’t even walk or do anything without being in a lot of pain and yelling and crying. They said she might be sore from the handling. Yea I don’t doubt that and maybe even made the issue worse. I’ve been to a rescue before for another issue she had with her wings and they were way more gentle with her. I am not satisfied at all with this vet. Also the staff, most of them were nice but there was one lady with brown hair that was just giving off super rude vibes. I also spoke to her on the phone and was no help at all. She said I don’t know who you spoke to but it wasn’t me. I then said well I’m sure you are also able to assist me and I just got hung up on. I am extremely upset because my bird is in 10x more pain than she was before I brought her and all they can say is that it’s normal. I will never bring my bird here again.
