Preventive care

I used Braescroft Animal Clinic years ago and now I'm back with my new puppy. They are absolutely amazing! The front desk staff, technicians, and vets are all wonderful — friendly, knowledgeable, and caring. I travel often, and they made sure my puppy was fully prepared for his first flight, which gave me complete peace of mind. I can't say enough good things about them! 💗

We LOVE Braescroft Animal Clinic. Our family adopted a dog from a local rescue last year. We are so fortunate to have found this animal clinic for our fur baby, Copper. Everyone is so friendly and professional. We appreciate the extra care and the abundance of love exhibited by the staff and Dr. Lowenstein towards our pup. Additionally, we always appreciate the call from the office post appointment or procedure to check-in on our dog. Highly recommend Braescroft!

My dog, Bella, is anxious in nature, especially when going to the vet. Yesterday, she had a "Happy Visit" with the staff, and they let her wander, sniff, and become comfortable. The treats also helped! Patrick and Dr. Everett took extra time with her. The picture speaks for itself.

So blessed to have found this animal clinic we moved closer to here from Pasadena but we were still going to the animal hospital over there since they knew our babies already and have been going to that one, but my boy has some allergies and they wanted to do a full cleaning cuz they said that was causing his allergies but I wanted a second opinion cuz it just seemed rushed and not very thorough. Thank god I found Braescroft animal clinic from the start we felt very welcomed and comfortable, they checked our boy very well, are very friendly and felt homey were giving him lots of treats and was making sure we understood everything and how his dental procedure would go and made us very aware that he will be in the best hands possible which I have no doubt he will be. And the icing on the cake the nurse gave him kisses on his head which was sooo cute and they wrote us a very thoughtful card still reassuring us about everything. If you haven’t already definitely come to them so your fur baby can have the best care possible☺️

I brought my baby Ayka for teeth extraction and dental cleaning, she’s doing pretty well! She sends you all a big hug! I highly recommend Braescroft Animal Clinic, amazing people, great reasonable prices. Thank you very much Braescroft Animal Clinic. I am very grateful to you all, blessings.
