Green Dog & Cat Hospital

I’ve been here twice now. Once with my kitten and second time with my dog. The staff here is attentive and genuinely care. However I do think they try to sell you on more things than your pet needs.

I brought in a healthy cat for a routine check for worms. We were told that the cat had a fever and needed blood work, a vitamin shot and antibiotics. We walked out the door with a $ 300+ bill, and when we got home, the cat was still acting healthy. The results of blood work and fecal test came back negative for all pathogens, which was no surprise because the cat was ALWAYS healthy. This place gives me a strong scammy feeling, like they will run unnecessary tests and procedures to run up your bill. I WILL NOT return.

Please don’t come here. BEWARE the staff are afraid of dogs. It was highly offensive but I didn’t know better until I went to another vet that offer first consultation free. My dog came to me when she was 3 and had a ear infection. It all started when I came in and told me if I had a muzzle for my dog, and of course I said no and they informed me that in the consultation to hold my dogs mouth. Pls note this is my first dog ever hence I didn’t think this was unusual. So fast forward to what the vet recommended I should do They told me that they needed to give her anesthesia to do a ear cleaning, medication, ear drops and this cream to «make sure flies stay away» from her ears. Which I told them no no no and no over again but kept saying yes you need it but crazy part and I told them my dog is a INDOOR dog. But they kept insisting so much I just gave in. Sad part is after going to the other vets I saw the anesthesia was not even necessary, I think they did it because they where scared of my dog. I went to 2 other vets after this because her ears still wouldn’t heal and both vets clean her ears in front of me and without anesthesia. I feel so bad I took my dog here, anesthesia is no joke. Just like with humans if they mess up it’s possible your dog won’t wake up and worst of all my dog got slow (as in she didn’t walk well or ate right) and was vomiting for days. Not only did I pay $ 275 for my dog to be treated like crap but also was not cured with no doctor follow up call to see if she’s OK. The 3^rd vet I went and love is call echo park veterinary hospital not only is it animal lover friendly and amazing customer service, its cheap.
Also if u have a puppy and get them shots here in green dog they die, my brother in law came here after I told them it’s horrible but since it was close and pretty cheap they went and their puppy died after.
Hope this review saves animals, money and heart aches.

I’ve been bringing many of my dogs over the course of years at this location. I’ve never had an issue as Dr Bahl is very knowledgable. The prices can be expensive. more than Petco. I brought my bulldog to see Dr Bahl this week as my doggy was not feeling well. Dr Bahl explained to me that we needed to rush him to the emergency as he suspected he had a bladder infection with possible stones. He even gave us a list of places we can take our dog. After seeing a previous vet who sent us home with anti inflammatory pills, I was very thankful that Dr Bahl saw the urgency and told us he could not help but to rush him to the ER. He also told us he was not going to charge us for the consultation. That was pretty amazing as the veterinarian down the street jacked me for $ 270 with no help. just pills! To summarize my experience in the past, The location is not a state of the art but is very clean and always smells clean. The ladies in the office are very kind and helpful. The vet technicians they have are friendly. Also the wait time is not bad. They see you pretty fast. Overall this place is great and has been there for YEARS!

This place is great. The prices are reasonable and you dont have to make an appointment. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable.

«Great Experience»
I’m a super picky mom of 5 plus a 2yr old small terrier mix, after reading all the horrible reviews, I was scared to take our little «Mi Mi» here. Contrary to the reviews I gave this place a chance. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. I had two of my children with me and Dr. Bahl and Christian explained everything clearly about the dog, we were satisfied. The front desk staff was great, at the closing of the visit, the young lady explained what Mi Mi was prescribed and she was sure I knew how to administer them. Thanks so much everyone, we love Mi MI so much, and you guys helped make sure she stays healthy. I would recommend this veterinarian to anyone.

Here’s the deal this place provides a much needed service to my community and I’m grateful for that. I’ve been here 5 times but I don’t think I will come back. The first time I came was because my pit bull killed a large raccoon and I was worried about rabies. They gave him the vaccine and told me to watch for symptoms. I asked what the symptoms where a the person who administered the vaccine, told me she did not know but she could Google it. That was worrisome rabies is a crazy disease if you work with animals you should know about it. The second and by far the most important one for me is last week I tuck my puppy in to be spayed, I was told to return at 6pm. I returned at 5:55pm singed in and asked about my puppy. The lady told me she would check on my dog and be right back. She whent back and came back didn’t tell me anything and then everyone in the front whent into the back. I had to wait 45mins and ask two more times before I was told if my puppy was alive. That’s fucked up it doesn’t matter that the service was free, the stress of not knowing what happened to my fucking puppy was not cool at all. I understand shit happens but if you’re running late just tell me «your puppy is ok we are just a little behind.» But they didn’t do that, I had to stand at the counter for 45 minutes before anyone would acknowledge my presence again. Now I have my puppy back, I’ve never felt like I did when waiting to hear if she was alive. I’m surprised that people who work with animals wouldn’t have more empathy for people.

I brought in a puppy pitbull maybe 6 months old, he was lethargic, had a runny nose, doc said «antibiotics» and he should get over it, paid 160ish… A week later dog is bleeding poop, vomiting, i take him to another vet in the san fernando valley and they run a parvo test in his fecal matter and low and behold… Parvo, dog died 12 hrs later… 1 week prior here and misdiagnosed, never even thought of that happening… Poor medical practice in my opinion. Annoyed that i lost this new dog… Dog didnt have shots obviously. I wouldnt recommend. All the SFV vets ive never had an issue with… I dont know what else to blame it on…

I went to this place to schedule an appointment for my dog to get neutered. I did not like it one bit! It’s so small and it’s not very welcoming. The receptionists desk has bars and they’re locked in. The lobby had bad lighting and it wasn’t very clean. It’s so depressing in there. The staff were not professional, they weren’t dressed in appropriate wardrobe. One guy had jeans and timberlands he was also wearing shades, who does that? The assistant checked my dog’s temperature and didn’t even say if it was normal or not. They didn’t seem to love what they do. I didn’t trust them so I’m never going back there!

I’ll give a three star review because my dog was immediately seen and given treatment. The reason I don’t give a 4 star review lies in the service I recieved. I had chosen this vet based on a reccomendation by my uncle because he used to breed dogs and whenever they got sick or were in need of a check up he would come here. Now in the case of my dog despite their efforts she passed away Friday night. On Saturday morning they called to inform me as soon as they opened and told me to pick up a refund because I had paid in advance for the next day’s medications. Now in total I paid $ 360: $ 35 for an exam, $ 50 for a parvo test, $ 185 for the intial fee to stay overnight plus medication and finally another $ 90 for the medication for Saturday. Since my dog stayed overnight and received those medications they got to keep $ 270 which is fair but, the $ 90 was supposed to be refunded to me. I didn’t pick up the money on Saturday because I couldn’t bring myself to go to the Vet. I didn’t go Sunday because that’s the only day out of the week that they’re closed. When I had gone in today (Monday) to pick it up the refund they gave me an $ 80 refund when I was supposed to get $ 90. After showing them my receipts and proving to them what I paid they still insisted that I was wrong and only after they’re supervisor came in did they give me my full refund. Not only was I humiliated in front the other customers I was upset by the miscommunication between employees. I’m not sure I’d recommend this vet to anyone purely based on the customer service I recieved on Monday.

I worked at Green Dog&Cat Hospital for five years. I resigned a few months ago from being a receptionist. I can say that working here, I learned a lot of things I did not know before. I learned how important vaccinations are in order to prevent your dog or cat from catching a virus, as well how it is to deal with extremely rude, obnoxious people with big headed egos, in the hood.
In this review I’ll be informing you about Green Dog& Cat as a former employee and a customer.
Dr. Bahl and his staff are the best. We always tried our best in satisfying our clients, sadly we did come across those clients that thought we didn’t know what we were talking about. Just an fyi, this is a private clinic and not a specialty center. Many times we had cases were clients didn’t understand that we didn’t have certain equipment in our facility because this clinic is a basic clinic and not an ER (which has more equipment, since it has doctor who are specialist in certain fields.)
Some of the services Green’s offers are services such as vaccinations for dogs and cats, baths, certain skin treatments (like mange, scabies), boarding (pet must be current on vaccines), certain surgeries (ear crop, ear hematoma removals, spay, and neuter) which all need an examination before scheduling the procedure. Many people think Green is ridiculously expensive but it actually isn’t. It’s cheaper than a 24 hour hospital, however clients sometimes feel that services should be free. Well let me ask a question, when you’re feeling ill and go to the doctor is your visit and medicine free? Majority of you have insurance but still pay a copay unless you have MediCal and get everything for FREE! Well guess what?!? There’s no such thing as MediCal for pets! Yes, there are pet insurances out there that you can buy for your pet but the way it works is you pay the hospital and the pet insurance reimburses you!
Working at this hospital I came across really friendly people and extremely ignorant people.
I honestly think people need to research and educate themselves on how important it is to vaccinate your pet, and keep it clean. I came across people who didn’t deserve to be pet owners and who thought they knew everything. I know the comparison may be bad but pets are like children. They need to eat, poop, sleep, play and they need vaccines and regular check up to stay healthy! And yes, they get sick just like children and ourselves get sick and sometimes they might need antibiotics.
Many clients would just Google things and try to treat their pets from what they read on Google, well guess what, Google doesn’t always help. There were cases were pets would pass away because it was too late for us to do anything because clients thought that google could save them some bucks.
As a ex employee and dog owner and animal lover, I highly suggest for people to really research and may be practice dog sitting to see if they really want to have a dog or cat at home. By dog/​cat sitting you’ll know whether you want a pet or not. Pets need love and care just like we do, and if you feel you can’t provide that than I suggest you don’t get a pet at all!

My dog recently caught parvo and he was doing real bad! I caught it a bit early but he was severely dehydrated and had lost a tremendous amount of weight. I brought him here like I’ve brought all my animals, a week and not that big of a hospital bill later he’s doing amazing! And Ace absolutely loves the staff! He is not fearful at all of them and on the contrary he loves being with them which says a lot about them! This place is amazing and I only wish more people knew about them. Thank you for saving my baby’s life!

My dog was sick. We couldn’t figure out what was going on. I went to green dog and cat hospital. The doctor was really nice. He treated my dog and the prices were very reasonable. After two days my dog was completely fine. I highly recommend green dog and cat hospital as the staff is very friendly and the prices are reasonable

This vet is terrible they let my dog die and get frustrated because you worry about your dog
Never will I go there don’t trust your dog there.

Spent a 100 $ on medicine that worked

If I could give negative stars, I would. This place denies sick animals. I found a sick kitten and they denied seeing the cat. Talk about cold hearted. All they care about is money. Worst place!!!

I was referred here from another Vets office (Can you believe that?) I will not mention any names. I have been here a couple of times and so far I am satisfied with the services and their prices. I will be back.

This small hospital Is good to have in the neighborhood, but it would be nice if the people in the front had some sympathy. They seem like they dont care.

Friendly service and quick care!
I was calling around trying to get the best price on a cleaning & tooth extraction for my dog as she had 4 baby teeth than never came out and the breed is prone to early tooth decay (yorkie) and I was noticing her «tart» breath and the tartar… So as I called around I was getting prices around 250 – 350 and they did not include the after antibiotic (which is all they need) yet wanted to up-​sell «pain pills» for the dog (they never take those damn things! LOL Which means the true cost anywhere else would have been about 275 – 375.
I started searching in less close to me areas as I know where you are, will clue you in on what you pay for things… and I recalled seeing a vet clinic near Slauson and they happened to have a dental cleaning special for 90.00 + extraction per tooth was 20.00! Deal. I set up an appointment, brought her in at the scheduled time and she was fine. They have to put them under anesthesia for the cleaning so that is why I had the extractions done also. I also was given her antibiotic WITH the service for a grand total of 170.00!
That was close to 100.00 less than everywhere else WITHOUT MEDICATION!!!
Apparently this is the place to come!- I’ll be coming here from now on for my pooch’s needs.

I take my beautiful Chi here ’cause it’s a short drive and affordable. Affordable in the sense that If you don’t want to see the actual Vet, your shots and visits can be $ 45 – 55 (puppy shots). However, if you want to see the doctor it will be a $ 30 charge on top of whatever if would have normally cost you without seeing him. Some dogs, like my wayward Xocolatl, will make you cry because they make you broke… and then they will lick your face.
I don’t know if you can make appointments at this place, but I always come as a walk-​in. If you get there early enough, you won’t wait long. Still, you will have to deal with some stupid-​ass people who should not have pets. Some dumb-​ass «lady» didn’t vaccinate her puppy properly and it contracted Bordetella and was vomiting all over the place; she did not bother to clean his stuff up and then wanted him put to sleep.
Oh and some people will not bring leashes for their dogs. So make sure you do! Others will not be able to control their dogs. Make sure you can.
Worm shot — $ 40 for small dog.
Frontline for small dog — $ 50 or less (can’t remember exactly).
Bath/​grooming services available.
No other form of flea medication other than topical, I asked the Vet.
They will keep a record there for your dog and will a update a pet record they give you.
