This hospital was amazing! I brought my cat, Peaches, in via emergency as she hasn't pooped in 5 days, due to a prior surgery. Dr. Schroeder, Chris, and Alex were all very kind and understanding. They took such great care of my girl (and me). They patiently explained everything to me, gave me options and let me make the choices with no pressure. They were a great team and I can't recommend more. Thank you so much!!

Or 8-month-old pup jumped out the window down at the waterfront in Eureka. We went here for emergency care and they really took care of us. We left there with everything we could possibly need to make him comfortable and come the next day he was doing so much better. Thank you Dr Joy.

Currently going through a hard time with my corgi’s new IVDD diagnosis and they have been patient with me, especially since I do have anxiety. Dr. Law reached out comforting me on a miscommunication and difficult result, then Chelsea and Kendall helped me get records and schedule appointments for a follow up and therapy. I am hoping they can continue to help Luna. I am grateful for them and understand it gets busy, it’s just really hard when you love and care deeply about your fur baby. IVDD is scary, I simply want her to get the help she needs so it’s monitored and doesn’t turn severe.

My 7-year-old English Pointer Charlie had a small cough and was breathing slightly more rapidly than normal, so I had made an appointment with his regular vet. His symptoms had not increased much, so I assumed that it was a mild situation. On Sunday, 4/5/26, he suffered what I thought was a seizure. I called my vet, whose answering service connected me to Arcata Animal Hospital. I left a message, and they called me back within minutes. We were able to make it there quickly, and the staff was ready to see us and had already started a file on his situation. By then, Charlie had seemed to stabilize, but was clearly still in some kind of distress. From the moment that we walked in the door, you could tell that the staff was understanding, genuinely cared, and were going to give him the best care possible in a clean and modern hospital. They asked to keep him for a few hours, and I went home. During the 5 hours or so that he was there, I received 4 phone calls with updates and asking for approval to do more testing, which I appreciated so much. I was able to take him home that night, and while a little groggy, he seemed to be in good shape. In addition to providing me a copy of the clinical summary and several different articles about his results, the staff also emailed me a referral letter and copies of his X-rays before I had even made it home. They also called me early the next morning to check in on Charlie, discuss scheduling the additional cardiac testing I had approved, and to get a copy of his medical records from his regular vet. While the diagnosis of left-sided heart failure was unexpected and not what I had hoped for, I am thankful to have an answer and to know what to expect. Dr. Bartlett and her team are nothing short of amazing, and I can't recommend this veterinary team more highly.

I had an emergency amputation that needed care immediately. They took us in and gave my pet top quality care on the spot. Dr Joy was very knowledgeable as well as skilled in dealing with this emergency. We couldn't have chosen a better facility. I highly recommend Arcata Animal hospital. You're definitely in good hands with their top quality staff. Im so grateful to everyone who helped us, thanks again 🙏🙏🙏
