Elemental Veterinary Center and Pet Spa

Brought my Beep kitty mans in today for an eye infection. Dr. Fagundo was amazing, spunky, and thorough. They got me in quickly & didn’t charge me diamonds & gold for the visit, medication, and rabies vaccine. I brought him here initially based on proximity to my house but I will be bringing both of my kitty mans back here on the regular based on awesomeness!

I love Dr. Flores and the staff at Elemental. I’ve been taking my shih tzu here since he was 8 weeks old (2 and a half now) and she is always genuinely happy to see him. He is also always happy to see her too which is IMO rare for a dog/​vet relationship! Val the groomer also does a wonderful job. She will accommodate your needs if you have an exceptionally quirky dog like me!

Dr. Flores and team are the best and I am very picky when it comes to my pet children. They are compassionate, knowledgeable and direct as it relates to prescribed care and daily routines. It is easy to get appointments and now with the addition of Dr. Horvarth it is even more convenient to schedule appointments and both Dr’s are excellent. In addition, not to be forgotten, the grooming services as well — friendly staff with expert grooming skills. Thank you Elemental Veterinary Center and Pet Spa — well done.

We have had our pets with Dr. Flores and now Dr Horvarth for several years. The caring concern and expertise they have treated our fur babies with is beyond professional and knowledgable. They are kind, considerate, and empathetic. We trust them completely and would recommend them to anyone. Their support staff and groomer are likewise amazing with our fussy animals. Please consider supporting this wonderful care facility with your patronage. You will not be disappointed.

We took our Australian Shepherd here for grooming for the first time. We dropped him off at 8:30 am and he was ready by around 11:30. The price was very reasonable for all the service they provided and our dog looked 10x better than he did going in. They also did a great job trimming his hair. My only complaint is that even though they did a deshedding on him, he’s still shedding a lot. Although in their defense, he was shedding insane amounts of fur prior to grooming so they definitely helped cut back on it. Overall, they did a fantastic job and while I prefer their ability to trim my dog’s hair, we prefer our other groomer for the deshedding (although they’re more expensive) so we’ll probably use both groomers in the future depending on our needs.

We’re new to Columbus (from St. Louis) and rely on Unilocal for services. Elemental received a 4-​star rating, so I took our Yorkie here for a grooming. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The groomer met us in the front lobby and was particularly grateful that I had a picture to share of how I would like (Stella) cut. I was 100% happy with the cut and the price. Parking — they’re located in Short North. I parked on the side street of Krogers for drop-​off and in Krogers lot (ran in for a few things) picking up.

It feels a bit odd to write a review so soon after losing a beloved family member. However, it is the care that was given and the concern that followed, which makes me write this today.
Our 16 year old cat, Amadeus, had come to the end of his life and we knew the dreaded time was near. We made an appointment to bring him in knowing that this may be his last day with us. We were given all of our options that day… and never felt rushed during our decision making. In our hearts we knew he was extremely ill, and we had to set aside our selfishness. We ultimately made the difficult decision to let him go. The staff here was absolutely wonderful throughout this entire process. We even received a sympathy card soon afterwards with multiple hand written notes from their staff.
In addition to Amadeus we’ve also had our three dogs here, two of which are puppy mill rescues. The rescue dogs have been quite fearful of people, so we knew a trip to the vet would be no easy feat. To our surprise it wasn’t as bad as anticipated. They actually both did very well during their visit. I solely credit the staff at Elemental for this.
We always feel as if we receive their full attention when there, and we never feel rushed. They explain everything to you, never requiring you to leave with questions or wondering about anything. Their passion and genuine care in healing and helping is evident within their work.
It was honestly very random that we stumbled upon them. Not too long ago we started a conversation with a woman walking her dog at Goodale Park. She highly recommended this vet so we researched them a bit more after returning home. Living in Victorian Village, it seemed to be a good option for us as we were previously traveling to Gahanna for our vet services.
This place is wonderful and we cannot give enough accolades to their staff.
We are so very thankful to have found them… and will recommend their services whenever possible.
Thank you Elemental Vet, from the bottom of our hearts…
Brian, Chris, Russell, Hudson, Indy, and the late Amadeus

Took my dog there for her first groomer’s appointment. The staffs were nice when I dropped her off but never thought about telling me that my dog’s was injured during the appointment when I went to pick her up. She got severe retinal bleeding which covered her entire retina! Took her to the vet and was diagnosed with trauma! Sooo disappointed! Would never take my girl there again!

Not going to lie, when attending the vet I am the one that needs sedated! As many other reviews have stated, as soon as you walk in the environment is warm, welcome, clean and calming. We were promptly helped and were seen to our room at our appointment time (this has never happened at another vet, always a long wait).
Dr. Flores was with us almost immediately, she is easy going, funny and you can tell she’s in it for the wellbeing of the animals. Our little guy Jameson is an indoor only cat and typically doesn’t do well in unfamiliar situations but was roaming around purring and begging for attention. Dr. Flores was assisted by Jill and they quickly and efficiently were able to get a urine sample and blood draw with precision and minimal pain.
They are patient, well-​informed and understand the financial strain of caring for a pet. This is the third vet I have been to in the columbus area and will never go anywhere else again. Val the groomer is awesome, friendly and loves what she does as well. Truly can’t go wrong at this place!

Cannot recommend Elemental and Dr. Flores enough. Absolutely the best vet in Columbus. Compassionate, funny, incredibly competent, and won’t gauge you for every penny like other vets in the area. The center itself is like nirvana. More like a people spa then a place for animals. Smells like heaven. Valerie the groomer is also simply the best. I referred several people to Dr. Flores, and they were all beyond thrilled after not so great experiences elsewhere.

Have only used Elemental (so far) for grooming and Valerie is AWESOME! You can tell that she truly cares about your dog. Last time I brought my dog in I had my second one with me and stupidly brought them both in on the double leash, which I needed to walk the other out to the car, and she said «I’ll just stay here and pet your dog till you are out of sight so she doesn’t feel like I’m dragging her away from you.» I just felt like that was one of those above and beyond moments where you could your dog is going to be in great hands.
I have 2 Goldendoodles and she does a wonderful job grooming them so they are neat and tidy but still maintain the «doodle» look, i.e. they do not come out looking like poodles. SO happy we found her as we are new to the area and had a bad experience at the first groomer we went to in the area.

Is it possible for a dog to be both a bit nervous and very excited to see the vet? Several months ago a new, prone to motion sickness, puppy arrived in my life from out of state and I set out looking for a vet here in the Columbus area. Dr. Flores and Elemental offer a fabulous location, spotless office space, and a staff that my now six month old puppy loves. I’ve made a few visits with the dog to say hi, treat some GI issues, and most recently to have the puppy spayed. The process was easy, staff incredibly understanding of my first-​time dog owner jitters, and has been there via phone to answer questions as they arise and to provide suggestions for treatment/​care.
A dog’s tail doesn’t lie… my dog’s tail goes nuts out of happiness to see Dr. Flores!

Are there 5.5 stars available? Can we get an extra star down here for Dr. Flores and her team at Elemental? No? Not even an extra half? Oh Ok no worries I’ll make one out of construction paper because this place needs more than 5 stars. Let’s talk front desk, boom, immediately welcomed, same girls, love what they do and get you scheduled in however you need to. How pleasant is it when you don’t have to argue with someone on the phone just for initial scheduling? Big points already. So I come to my appointment and I look around. This is THE cleanest most pristine and stylish office I have been in (is that maybe lavender I smell from the essential oil diffuser in the lobby? Or the fact they they clean like freaks, leaving this place delightful and spotless and void of any «dog» smell. Speaking of dog; if mine wasn’t being a moron, you may have stepped somewhere else. Silence except for the soothing spa music playing. Which reminds me a pedicure tomorrow would be nice… I digress.
Ok enough frou frou let’s cut to the chase:
Dr. Flores is league of the Avengers worthy as a veterinarian and I say that truthfully, not just for cinematic effect. We almost lost our baby girl Saint due to the gross ineptitude of a (dare I even use the term «vet»? Butcher is more appropriate. And to this day we do not know what this «butcher» had done that almost took Our Saint’s life. We have barely recovered physical, financially or emotionally from the disaster, but there was light at the end of the tunnel: Dr. Flores. Her office was within walking proximity to where I was living at the time so I decided to take my saint to see her to have her stitches removed as I had promised myself, and Riley I would never enter that other veterinary office ever again.!! That was the best decision I could have ever made and it’s actually our English Bulldog that has benefited the most. Poor guy I think just makes up things at this point to see his «girlfriend» Dr. Flores. She is particularly familiar with all the crazy quirks and weird health problems that Bulldogs come with so I would trust her with his life, and that is saying some thing from a woman who previously had one of the most horrific experience with a vet that will remain unnamed in the Grandview area.
Dr. Flores is thorough, she has the old
House call mentality. She never double books her patients, and I have never had to wait. She is so pleasant and always ready to offer easy advise for the animals and her solutions are always effective. She is kind and intelligent vet, everything she does or prescribes is with a purpose And she does so in a very fair way. You will never be taken advantage financially by her company. Dr. Flores is one of the very rare gemstone of a Vet that is actually in it FOR welfare of the animals. I would publicly stake my reputation on encouraging you to go and visit her. She is the best thing for you and your pet. My heart literally broke when my poor Riley almost died at the hands of a Dr, after meeting doctor Flores, I will never have that fear again. I would very literally ask her to fly out to Seattle (we are moving) in case we had some life threatening procedure that needed done with the dogs. That all being said, its also a fun relaxed atmosphere. If you’re busy they let you drop off in The morning and then pick up after your work so long as they are open and that is at no extra charge. Just another way elemental enables people to give their pets the care they need and deserve

My fussy long haired terrier had his first grooming appointment here this morning. I picked him up and he looked amazing and was really happy! Happy dog = happy owner! Planning on returning here soon! Great prices, too.

I can’t say enough good things about this place — today we had a terrifying experience and our beloved Jack Russell was attacked by a Pit Bull. Previously, we had only taken our baby to Elemental for grooming services (which are awesome and very affordable). They are just down the street from our home so we dashed down as quickly as possible, very upset and shaken from what had just happened.
The staff was amazing and Dr. Flores was with us in under a minute of us walking into the building. She was kind and gentle with him, gave him a shot to relax him and quickly cleaned him up. The nurse gave Harley some peanut butter which made him happy and distracted him from what was going on. We were given 3 prescriptions, instructions for taking care of him and sent on our way. I was so pleasantly surprised at how quickly we were treated, given what we needed and sent home so the dog could rest comfortably. We also managed to make it out of there for under $ 100 which was SUCH a pleasant surprise. The woman who usually grooms Harley even came in to see if he was ok and stayed with us in the exam room. I would absolutely recommend this vet center and spa to anyone looking for top-​notch, affordable care for their furbaby. Thank you, Elemental!

I had THE BEST experience here today! First of all the place is so nice! My pomchi has never been groomed before so I had no idea what he needed/​what needed to be done. Valerie, the groomer, personally called me to discuss what my preferences were and ended up giving me her advice, again, I had no idea! I could just tell she really has a passion for what she does and really knows what she’s doing. Being a Pomeranian chihuahua mix my dog has a bit of an attitude but she loved him! He looked absolutely fabulous, perfect cut and in such a good mood when I picked him up. Everyone there really seems to care about the animals brought in and that made me feel at ease leaving him there. Not to mention the price was $ 20 LESS than anywhere else I called. I will definitely be back. Couldn’t be happier!

I have to say that I am so pleased with the job they did on my Cat, Truffles, Lion cut. The ladies there today were so nice and pleasant. Truffles looked adorable when they were finished and seemed not nearly as pissed at me as I was expecting her to be. I thought the pricing was very reasonable and will definately be back. Thanks so much.

The first time I brought my dog there she was groomed well. This time there were a few areas on her legs that weren’t even but most importantly and most disconcerting was that she has been squinting ever since. My guess is that when they dried her out they put the dryer directly on her face. Not sure I will go back.

someone told me about this place so i brought in my 2 cats today for grooming. they are beautiful persian long-​haired cats but they need trims every few months. i told the groomer to leave ¼−½ inch of hair and to slightly trim their tails and some of their face. nope. $ 154 and they literally look like RATS. the people here seemed nice and maybe there was some miscommunication but this is just ridiculous.
DO NOT bring any long-​haired pet here for grooming.

I’m so thrilled that Elemental is here! I have had both of my dogs groomed here twice and one dog has been in for a visit to the vet.
First, the place is so clean and inviting! We had been going to CarePet clinic and that place is so gross and depressing– it was really refreshing to walk in to such a nice environment for both my pets and myself! All of the staff always dotes over both of my dogs which is much appreciated. I feel comfortable leaving my spoiled rotten dogs with folks that obviously have a passion for animals.
The grooming is so FAST and they do a great job! I am used to having the grooming time be around 4 hours for the two of them, but here they get it done in about 2 hours.
Something that absolutely blew my mind on our last visit for a grooming was that the groomer discovered that my dog had a small skin infection, showed it to the vet who looked at it and wrote a prescription and they had everything waiting for me when I picked her up. That may not seem like a huge deal, but to me, to have a vet there who is willing to take a look at any issues that come up during a groom and then not even charge anything extra for that service is incredible!
As far as our vet visit was concerned, everything went great. We got right in at the time that we were scheduled for (that has never happened at any other vet) which was great because my dog, like many others, gets really nervous at the vet. All of the staff was very sweet to her and the vet took the time to really listen to the issues we were having and clearly explained everything.
I LOVE this place! Six stars!
