Preventive care

From the moment I called, I loved how they handled my situation and got my dog in to see the doctor. They answered all my questions and took good care of my Rango. I’m happy to call them my new vet clinic. Thank you Hannah, Fabi and doctor Marianne

Dr Maryanne and Dr Marketa are both really kind and chill. They tell it how it is, no filler no filter which I think is refreshingly human in the world of overcharging vets who surreptitiously profit off every customer at their pets expense. Really straightforward experience every time here in about a dozen visits. You want your dog fixed? Go here. I can also attest to a relatively pleasant euthanizing process here for another dog several years back. In case anyone was wondering about that. They give the dog a little bed and blanket and stuff to cover up the IV while you spend your last time with your pet.

Dr. Marianne and Dr. A.J. have taken care of my pets for over ten years. Dr. Marketa is awesome, too...the staff all really, truly care about the animals they help. My dog was diagnosed with cancer a few months ago, and they have been incredibly caring, kind and supportive in giving him the best quality of life possible. I cannot be more grateful for them!!!

Since moving to Ventura Los Angeles, I have tried at least 3 vets in the last 2 years in the Ventura area. I will be honest, I was very unhappy with each experience. A friend of mine recommended Ventura Veterinary Hospital and I couldn't have been more happy with the outcome. I am so happy and relieved that I won't have to look outside of the city to find care for my dog Timmy. Just last week I had Timmy's teeth cleaned and was pleased that prior to the procedure I was offered two methods, one anesthetic free, which was significantly less expensive to the the second option performed under anesthesia. I was provided a detailed estimate with a low and high end figure which provided for the cost of every contingency or unforeseen problem. When I picked Timmy up I had a great consultation with the Dr and she went over what she encountered and what she had done. She did extract one tooth but decided to take a conservative approach to save a different tooth rather than pull it. Most Vets would have pulled it and charged me. My bill was well with in the lower estimated cost. I found the staff extremely helpful, concerned and caring. I found both Doctors (and owners) kind, gentle, knowledgeable, cost conscious, and thorough. This was a gold standard experience that I fully recommend and I am so happy to have found them.

Great staff and the best Doctors. I had another vet office miss diagnose my cat and Ventura veterinary hospital correctly diagnosed him, saving him from a very painful and unnecessary procedure. Now my mother and sister go here as well because of how talented the vets and staff are. *2023 Update * Still the best place to take your pets
