Mission Animal Care Center

I came here for the first time on Monday and I had a great experience. I brought my 4 puppies to get their first shots, the staff was extra friendly and treated the puppies very nice too. I will definitely continue coming here for anything my dogs may need. Thank you guys! See you soon!

Let me first start by saying as a new puppy owner I was concerned with finding a quality and reputable vet. When I called to make an appointment, I was able to the same day. I was greated by a warm smile and offered free doggy treats for my young one. The sign up process was quick and painless. I was greeted by Daniel, He was very funny and put my nerves at rest. Daniel took both the puppy and I into the back office and was able to handle all of his shots without even a single cry or whimper from my new little guy. I’m truely grateful that I found this place. When you call make an Appointment with Daniel! Hes the best!

To say I had a horrible experience at this Vet would be a gross understatement. I brought my 8 year old cat in because he had not been eating and had been exhibiting very low energy. They charged me an arm and a leg for a blood test and tried to get me to purchase all kinds of other things as well. I only opted for the blood test because I realistically could not afford everything else. The next day, they called to inform me that my cat had diabetes and needed to be hospitalized immediately. I asked the price and of course, it was obscenely expensive, but I asked what his chances were with a more cost-​friendly treatment. They told me he had basically no chance without hospitalization and assured (yes, ASSURED) me that if hospitalized, they’d be able to get him hydrated, give him insulin, and get him back to normal within a few days. Though I did not have extra money to spare, I decided to do it because he’s my pet and meant a lot to me, and they swore to me up and down that this was the only way.
Basically the second I swiped my credit card, they were trying to talk me into putting him down, saying his chances were not that good and he might not respond to the treatment. How convenient that they would wait until after I dropped $ 2100 to give me that piece of information. I consulted with another vet and showed her my cat’s test results and showed her Mission Vet’s «treatment plan» and she informed me I was being outrageously overcharged and they were not doing nearly enough to save my cat’s life. The poor thing only lasted a day and a half under their care. The doctor who gave me the news, Dr. Nakhla, was the most insensitive human being I’ve ever had the displeasure of interacting with. Over the phone, he told me my cat died and seconds later was reciting the various pricing options for «disposing of the body,» all of which were outrageously expensive. I told him he would not see another dime from me and I would dispose of my pet’s body myself. Truly the worst experience I’ve ever had with a vet. The staff was not much better or more helpful, except for maybe Gabriel who was somewhat sympathetic. Mind you, the three or so days in a row that I visited this place, someone was there crying because they’d lost their pet. It seems clear that these people do not care for the animals they deal with and are only there to suck the money out of those who are emotionally vulnerable and desperate to save their pet’s life. Truly despicable. If I could give zero stars, I would. I will strongly advise anyone I know who owns a pet to stay far away from this office.

I took my dog there after he was attacked by 2 large dogs. The staff were nice and helpful, but I didn’t like the vet at all. My poor dog was severely traumatized by the brutal attack, and I found the vet to be cold and uncaring. He told me that my dog was terribly behaved. He was tramatized!!! Also they are quite expensive. I much prefer taking my babies to Roxford Veterinary Clinic.

I have been going here for about two years now. They are fast, reasonably priced and very nice. They always remember me and my son. I am glad I found this place!

I’m so happy with this Vet. I found this vet in Unilocal since they have emergency service. So I rushed my dog to the emergency at 10:30pm and they were so helpful and polite. I was very emotional to see my dog with full of blood and crying. The Dr told me that he had a broke jaw and that he was going to do everything on his hand. My dog is finally home doing really well. I’m very satisfied with this clinic. Thank you so much for caring.

Worst vet ever, I took my puppy to cut his nails. He was barking, I went in to see what was going on. He was not having it. I said I will take him like this. He was bleeding all over the floor. They had cut to much, never again am I going there. If you luv ur pets, do not bring them here. I was crying from the disaster.

My boyfriend and I took our two German Shepherd puppies to get their second round of vaccinations here. They both received their DHPP, corona, Bordatella, and deworming vaccinations. When we arrived, we were the only ones there and were in and out within 20 minutes! The prices for their vaccinations were unbeatable and the staff was helpful and friendly as well. The only reason I’m not giving them 5 stars is because we didn’t even meet the veterinarian, or get the chance to ask him questions. Other than that, I would recommend taking your pets here!

This was the first vet we took our Boxer to when we first got him at 6 months old.
The Good:
* The vet techs and receptionists are always really helpful and friendly
* They email you reminders of when your pets vaccinations are due
* They are pretty accommodating when it comes to appointment setting
Not So Good:
The reason we stopped going here is because when our Boxer had a skin tag (not a harmful one), the Vet wanted to charge us $ 1,700 to remove it! We were pretty stunned. We decided not to proceed with the unnecessary surgery and the skin tag fell off by itself two days later when we took our dog hiking. No other issues or health problems resulted from that pesky skin tag.
Even though we were the ones who made the appointment to have the skin tag checked out in the first place, overall it felt like they were trying to rip us off.
We now have a new vet.

I’ve never written any reviews, but I just had to leave one in appreciation of the wonderful service my pooch received in this office.
I own a 8yrd old chihuahua. This was her first time visiting, I went in to ask about professional teeth cleaning. My dog unfortunately never had any dental services done in all these years. She is still a very healthy and rumbuctious one. She also has routine vet visits and I never heard negative comments about her teeth. My reg vet does not really specialize in dental so I did not seek service there.
I recently noticed bad breath, dark gums, and a lot of gnawing going on, so I knew I had to check it out. Like anyone else, I searched for animal dental services in the valley on Google/​Yelp. I found a very popular dog dental office with hundreds of good reviews. Everything was great until I consulted with a very young Vetenarian who told me my dog had abnormal teeth, inflamed gums, and they needed to extract 6 – 12 teeth! On top of that, I was quoted $ 800+ dollars –not including bloodwork (to make sure my dog can get the service under anesthesia). She is old and grumpy and will not let you grab around her mouth. That is way overpriced I told myself! I felt like the worst owner ever! My poor baby… TOOTHLESS!!? I was so upset! I felt neglectful and torn about the news. She is worth more than money to me but I could not picture her loosing teeth yet. Was it seriously that bad? I paid the high consultation fee, blood work fee and left upset, thinking about my dog losing up to 12 teeth. I will not put the business name out there, because my purpose is to review Mission Animal Care NOT to shame a business.
Thankfully, while venting about my first experience, I received good advice from a friend. He asked me to get a second opinion and not to rush into the service quoted the first time. This is where MISSION ANIMAL CARE came through! I called on a Wednesday, got an appointment the same day in the evening, (perfect for a working mom) and was personally helped by Dr. Nahkla. He confirmed my dog had inflamed gums and tartar, but did not agree about teeth extraction right away. Mind you, I did not mention I had consulted with someone else before this visit. He was happy I had a recent analysis of my dogs bloodwork and was able to quote me –easily– $ 400 less than the first place for full dental cleaning and ‘possible’ teeth extractions. I even received a February discount they generously extended onto March on my quote.
I decided to go through with the service since it was reasonably priced and the whole experience was genuine and very professional. Dropped off my dog next day Thurs at 9am with super friendly Danny at the front desk, and picked her up after work at 5pm.
To my surprise, NONE of my dogs teeth had to be extracted, her teeth were extra white, and she was as happy as ever that evening! No more garbage breath! I was so happy and relieved no teeth had to be pulled. My total was even lower than my initial quote since we saved on extractions. I am completely satisfied with the results! Evening staff was super caring and friendly. They answered my questions, sent me home with antibiotics and soft food for my dog. When I mentioned my first experience and the ridiculous quote I previously got, they could not believe it. It’s obvious the other place did not have their best interest in my dog, only themselves! I will definitely be visiting Mission Animal again when my dog needs a check up. Thanks everyone!

Very good place, prices are ok, accommodating,
Our dog got hurt and had to be seen by the vet, they took care of her right away,

I have been bringing my dog here ever since I got him and love it here ! The staff is professional and always open to answering questions even over the phone. There have been many times that I have called just to ask for advice and they are always willing to give some! I have spoken to Danny several times about my dog Jax and he has always been patient and professional. The office is always clean whenever I go and I have never had a problem. You are not forced to do any work for your pet so you can decline after your office visit for any work you don’t want for your pet. I highly recommend this vet to everyone.

I liked this place. I only had one interaction with the vet. I took my little pom here to get his shots and they were more affordable than the «low cost» vaccination clinic near my house.
They are always open and the nurses did a great job administering my pup his vaccine. The employees had personality and I was in and out in 5 minutes with no appointment.
Also, its very clean. Nothing bad about this place to me except the parking.

Well first of all my pet dog unfortunately passed away which was a real bummer but they tried as they said and another they suggested to me that id do a blood work test for the dog yet I didn’t receive any work related tests which left me suspicious and now I owe 1000 dollars in bills for hospitalizing my pet just for 2 days never coming again because I was so shocked to have found out my dog had died but ohh well be careful and choose wisely of vet purposes
Update !!! So I took my dead dogs stool to another vet (I know it’s weird but it was still preserved) and the vet had told me that it was not parvo but poison mainly from a spider and that treatment would of saved the dog now I’m with a debt of 1000 dollars and knowing my dog died because of poison and not parvo gets me mad and emotional because my dog could of been saved please anyone help with this bill and these people

Don’t bring your pets here! These people don’t care about your pets they just care about your $$. In «2014» I took my cat in, she was very ill (I had no experience with cats since it was my first) and to make long story short, the doctor didn’t tell me she had very little chances of survival. Instead he insisted for me to hospitalized and she had a heart attack there. When I called to tell him off, he said that the % of survival was too low. I told him that why he didn’t tell me before and his answer was that «they believe in saving all lives» that is BULL! He just wanted my $ and my poor cat suffered in vain. I could had put her down. It took me so long to write a review because it still hurts! She suffered at home, at the hospital and died alone (without me). She stayed overnight and no one stayed there on other days. She stayed alone sick for many hours. I didn’t even know this, they said that sometimes a staff member will stay if they are really ill. Well my cat was very ill and no one stayed. As I am writing this, I am crying. They should revoke their licenses! Please spread the word. I would do more than a review but maybe I waited to long and wouldn’t know if there is something else to do anyways.
I am trying to post evidence (receipts) but don’t know how to add them.

This place is clean and staff are welcoming. They have helped me a couple time with my dog but they are very pricey. I am giving a star because I followed their recommendation of getting bloodwork check but they did NOT once let me know what the results are. I had to find another place to get my baby feeling better. Turns out he has a serious condition. This could have been caught earlier if they just bothered to look and examine the results. I recommend going to another vet if you do not want to be misdiagnosed and suffer the consequences.

Worse place to take your pet; I had to put my dog down because the service they provided made his condition worsen. They are careless; don’t bring your dog here. They are also expensive!

My 2 year old pit/​lab woke me up with her loud cries. Her backside was swollen and would not let us touch her. Its extremely hard to find a Vet open on a Sunday, specially one that wont charge you an arm and leg. Thankfully Mission Animal Care Center was opened and took us in within 30min of calling them. The staff was extremely catering, CARING and on top of my baby receiving the proper care. They examined her and explained what they were doing to help me with my nerves. She was given antibiotics and they expressed her anal glands. My vet bill came out to $ 200 for the check up and meds, not to shabby! By the end of the day my baby was running around being her normal self. Thank you Mission Animal Care Center for taking such good care of my baby.

Our 10 week old puppy was vomiting after her second set of shots, so to play it safe we took her in to get checked. We had read that generally after vaccinations and deworming shots puppies may vomit, have loss of appetite, and not be as playful as usual. We decided to call Mission Animal Care Center because it was the weekend and unfortunately our pooch’s vet works during the week only. They made it sound extremely serious and said we had to see a vet ASAP. The visit and the Parvo test (which they recommended) cost us over $ 180. For dehydration, nausea, and a long made up list of other treatments they wanted to charge us up to $ 430! We kindly declined and said we will wait to visit her vet on Monday. OUR PUP WAS COMPLETELY BACK TO HER HAPPY ENERGETIC SELF THE NEXT DAY. I’m glad we didn’t waste our money.
The experience was just so odd. We seemed to be the only ones theres but had to wait a while before seeing someone. Also in the examination room every time the door opened another «vet» came in and without introduction started talking to us. Not a professional atmosphere, NOT CLEAN, and definitely overpriced! We will not be going back.

2^nd time here and even better than the first time. Daniel «Danny «was amazing. Quick, nice, friendly, funny ect.
