VCA Hollywood Animal Hospital

I must admit that I walked out of the office with my heart broken after knowing that there is not much that I can do for my precious cat Venus but providing her quality of life while she is with me. Yet, it made a difference having as internist Dr Fishkin. She was very professional, explained everything about the outcome with the FeLV, at the same time she was caring and considerate. BTW: If you enjoy life with a cat, please be aware, PLEASE test for Felice leukemia when they are kittens and vaccine them on time. I must admit I didn’t now about the virus, much less I knew how fatal it is.

The oncology team was great. Helpful and friendly front desk. Dr. Vasquez is a great oncologist. My baby boy might be gone now but I was able to have extra time with him by doing chemotherapy treatments for lymphoma. He handled it like a champ. It is very expensive, but he’s worth it. I have a lot of regrets in regards to his passing but I do not regret doing chemo. Cancer can kiss my a$$!!! ✨🖤Team Edward Forever🖤✨

Dr Young is an amazing Vet. Not only does he have complete medical knowledge but he is also an amazingly companionate person. He gave me the strength to put our sweet Cat named Stripes to sleep and prevent undue suffering. He’s a good Doctor but more importantly a good soul. In fact the entire staff was sympathetic and kind. But Dr Young was over the top. Make him your Vet and you and your pets will never be sorry.

Yesterday morning I had the worst day of my life in VCA Hollywood animal hospital. My pup of 14 years passed away on arrival. My husband and I were inconsolable and our devastation was known. There was nothing anyone could’ve done or said to make us feel better. The staff did the most they could in these types of situations. We were given space and privacy and weren’t rushed once. The compassion displayed by the people who work there was exactly what we needed to get through our tragedy. Karen was amazing and we’ll forever carry the memory of her light and reassuring presence in this moment. Thank you for being there for us. Infinitely grateful for you all.

Review Hi, it took me 7 months to write this to you as I didn't have the courage to recollect. My dog, underwent a knee surgery in November, 2022, with Dr. Jon Dee. He was perfectly fine except he had a heart murmur since childhood but was healthily maintained. He had a ligament tear and went into surgery trusting that this was a simple surgery in the hands of a skilled and experienced doctor who's done countless such surgeries and the surgery actually went well. He was standing up straight and the x-rays looked great and we were reassured that he would be running-not walking- in no time. Dr. Jon Dee fixed my dog's knee perfectly, but the team messed up his heart so bad, that he died within two and half months from heart failure. The day after the surgery my baby walked out with a bad cough that we thought was a kennel cough, and in the follow up were we were assured the same. But his condition worsened daily. It was his heart, we underwent so much during surgery that his condition deteriorated and his heart couldnt pick up again. We made countless visits to the VCA, to neurology specialists, heart specialists and back to VCA in traumatic situations. We found out too late that we only had so little time with our baby. I am a Nurse and I know your care and your anesthesia team messed up in the care of my dog. We went through a lot for 2 1/2 months. We spent thousands of dollars and we lost him. He was only nine. Only nine. We never imagined us wanting to see him walk and run again, the only thing he ever loved, would cost him his life and us our life and love. We never ever thought any of this would happen. We were hit with so much in such little time. No preparations. I want you guys to consider the medical conditions of a dog when you put them under anesthesia and be careful and careful again. Your anesthesia team is horrible and I want my fellow pet owners to be vigilant too. I lost my baby without cause and we don't want this to happen to any other dog.
