Port Hueneme Animal Hospital

We were referred to Dr. Armington by another vet so I knew we would be in good hands. Dr. A is very compassionate about her work, her patients, and the owners. She really takes the time to hear what you are saying and doesn't discredit what you are telling her. I appreciate how thorough she is and how invested she is in her patients. All of the staff are very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

January 29 my husband and I woke up to a typical Wednesday morning. Fed the wolfies, and I kissed them goodbye. Not knowing that through the day our dogs lives would be intentionally taken. My husband was the first to arrive to find Luna had passed and he immediately rushed Levi to the Port Hueneme Animal Hospital, we were not helped and sent to the closest hospital Horizon. Keeping him alive with CPR. It was after work and I see missed calls. I call back to receive the awful news, by Gods grace I drove through traffic, tears and fears.. but I was too late. Levi passed away during the drive to the hospital. Our dogs were deliberately poisoned. My husband and I spent that night signing papers and looking into what to do with our wolfies. The pain was immensely felt and we sat there alone together. Holding each other in disbelief of the reality. We had to say our goodbyes - twice. Since then everyday has been a struggle. We hurt at the fact that our daily routines with them are gone. We even miss the shedding season that was upon us. To you it might sound absurd to be this affected by the loss of our “animals” but to us those dogs were our family. I’m still grieving them even though I know they are in heaven and in a much better place. What upsets me the most is that our dog Levi still had a fighting chance and was turned down here and instead of helping me by sending me to a hospital that can help they sent me to Horizon in Ventura when they could of sent me to the next closest hospital on Channel Islands, i found out later it was capable and fit to help in these situations. i don't recommend this hospital to any pet owner.

We've been taking our animals to Dr. Armington since 1992 on recommendation of a friend when we moved to the area from overseas, apparently just after she opened. She's taken care of our first cat Bumper. Then our dog Geordie for his entire 14 year life. Did surgery (I know) on my daughter's hamster. Also our 16 year old dog Fritzy who is still doing great. And now with our two new cats Loch and Peaty as well as my daughters two cats Charley and Mac when she's in town. Highly recommended.

So I’ve been coming to the Port Hueneme pet hospital and I genuinely always have a great experience, everyone is kind, it’s affordable and my dog never seems afraid (unlike other places we had tried) however I’m extremely disappointed that when returning a call I received a completely rude response for no reason to the point where the kids I was with made shocked faces at the way I was being spoken to. Rest assured I just said it’s fine have a good day and it’s time to look for a new vet.

We've been taking our 4 rescued dogs & 3 rescued cats to Dr. Arrington & her staff for over 16 years. Always a caring professional, they've kept our kids healthy. It's never about her pocketbook, but the welfare of our animals. We appreciate the consistent caring & care of not just our pets, but other customers "kids" as well.
