Preventive care

The Staff at the Baldwin location were amazing. Initially I went to my local Petco vet clinic but the vet advised me to take my dog to a VETCO Total Care hospital. I was able to get an appointment for the next day, Nipsy got a tail to nose check up and much needed antibiotics for a respiratory infection and also received his rabies vaccination. Thank You and your caring amazing doctor & staff…

The staff at the front desk & the tech was exceptional. Very kind and informative. The doctor was rude, condescending and dismissive. She was rough during my pups exam. I would never return to this location. Save yourself the trouble.

I was there 12 days ago with my dog for frequent urination with spots of blood. Dr had no bed side manner. Was rude! Told me she was spending too much time talking to me. Told me my bulldog is a vets dream come true ( $$$ ) Plus my dog was taken from me the whole time. I never saw anything done. I agreed to a $499 package which included X-rays and blood work with stool and urine analysis. They couldn’t do X-rays and I was told I would not be charged for them. I did not realize when leaving I was charged. I went back the next day and was told the doctor was not there, the doctor called me and was again rude. It’s been 12 days and I’ve called at least 7 times and left messages, still no results on the fecal & urine analysis. DO NOT TAKE YOUR DOG THERE!! It’s like a factory. This doctor did not care about my dog, only the money!! Trust me she tried getting a lot of unnecessary charges added to my bill. I left spending $800. And no one answers the phone!

Customer Service needs improvement. Online information outdated with opening hours. No interest in maintaining customer service. I have visited the Vet department several times with no complaints as far as caring for my dogs. I am really considering seeking services elsewhere. I am not receiving free services and would like to be treated as a value customer.

second time back I am very disappointed. the vet didn't examine my pet and just take quick looks. I had to ask him to check the ears and nails, even after I asked he didn't even examine just Quick Look and said it's ok. my pup's nail was extremely long and one was bleeding and he said take him to groomer.
