Nipomo Dog & Cat Hospital

My family and I have had many beloved pets over the years and every time there is a medical issue with one of them it’s great to know that there is a trusted place nearby to take them. In the past, we’d been to a variety of veterinarians that seem to go through the motions but ND&CH has a friendly, caring staff with veterinarians that are second to none.
We recently had to bring in a dog with a life-​threatening internal blockage. He is an older dog so it was a difficult decision to make to spend the money on surgery. With their help and care and the help of another facility our old dog seems many years younger. We’re glad we trusted in them.

happy with services, friendly staff and attentive vets who explain all information about your animals diagnosis.

This is the best vet in the 5 cities area. The Dr.‘s and staff are the friendliest and the prices are fair.

Kind and caring folks work here. The price was worth my little dogs visit. He was suffering from some kind of seizure they think. They handled him with loving hands and he wasn’t so scared.
My friend told me to go here and I’m glad I did!

Took our chihuahua there today because she has been sick. Called at 9 got in at 11. They treated her with proptly with care and gave me detailed instructions. The atmosphere of the office was great and the staff friendly and attentive.

I finally found a veterinarian’s office I like! I just love taking my dogs to this group of vets in Nipomo and I make a 15 – 20 minute drive and by-​pass all the vets in Arroyo Grande to visit them. The front staff is friendly and provide quick service, the veterinarians are very sweet to my pups and know their stuff! I never feel rushed and their prices are fair. I’d definitely recommend trying them!

I went to this hospital a few months ago because my elderly basset hound had an abscess in his mouth from a foxtail. We went to our two other normal vets (we live in Atascadero) and both said they weren’t concerned and to go home and see if it works itself out. The next morning I woke up and our poor buddy wasn’t eating. This hospital got such good reviews that I rushed him down. They admitted him right away even though they couldn’t operate until the next day. One of the vets even brought him to their home and babysat that night! As his health declined they brought him in early and put him on an IV. He made a full recovery after surgery but if they hadn’t taken me seriously, like all the other vets didn’t, I don’t think our sweet hound would’ve made it through the week! Everyone there was so lovely and considerate and the prices were cheaper then all the others! Now we drive down to Nipomo for all of our vet needs.

Nipomo Dog and Cat Hospital is simply the best! The best place for your very loved pets. The best place for abandoned/​injured dogs and cats who would otherwise die. The best place for your volunteer hours and donation dollars — via their Animals in Need Fund.
Dr. Robin Shroyer has been our family vet since the late 80’s/early 90’s. Dr. Maggie Wagner joined our «family of care givers» a few years later … They are in it for the long run (20 +/​-​years and counting) and so are we!
If you want the very best for your four-​legged family members — do yourself (and them) a favor — and call Nipomo Dog and Cat Hospital in Nipomo first!

Super friendly. I have a new 2 year old Doberman and they were very good with him. They answered all of my questions the doctor was very informative. They let me know different options but were not pushy with any treatments. I would definitely recommend them.

I’ve been bringing my dog lucy here since she was 2 months. I bought the puppy package. I am very pleased this was the spot that took care of her. The staffs are great! She finally got all her shots and was spayed, microchipped, and her puppy teeth pulled out yesterday. They did a great job, and the price and service are excellent! Thanks you!

I am a new customer at this pet hospital and I am very impressed with their customer service. We are new to the area and always hesitant to choose a new veterinarian for our Standard Poodle (and new kitty) but am confident that this place will be the best care they can receive.

Everyone is so nice. all of our experiences have gone well here. Our pets (dog and cats) have been well taken care of at each of there visits. Several of our friends recommended this place to us, we drive to Nipomo from Arroyo Grande and it is not inconvenient to us because we trust that they will be well taken care of there. The vets and the staff are all very pleasant and professional. I wish that we saw the same vet and techs more often when we go in. At our last vet in Florida, everyone knew us and our pets and it was reassuring. The staff is very accommodating and go out of their way to make sure that your pets get in and get what they need. They also carry food and care products. Their pricing is fair and more affordable than the Pismo Beach vet that were taking them to before. I will definitely consider them my pets vet from now on.

Nipomo Cat and Dog Hospital is HANDS DOWN a wonderful place for our Dogs. We have been taking our animals to this facility for the past 4 years. I have two highlights to mention in this review that make them stand out.
When your pet is unwell you are concerned about a number of things. Our cat, Missy was ill and unfortunetly it was time for her to be laid to rest. The office was very respectful, and professional. Making her comfortable and calm. They gave us a paw print and a lovely wooden box containing her ashes.
They have also taken very good care of our dogs. Dopey our beagle always has a couple of visits per year, he is always getting himself into trouble, HAHA. Dr. Wagner, Libby, Ashley, and Shawna to name a few people are great with him. He really does not like going ot the vets office at all. They were able to do a quick exam, evaluate his physical pain, and help him quickly.
They are very reasonably priced and work with you. Do not hesitate to ask questions, they will anwser anything and help in whatever way possible.
Thank you for always taking great care of our fur babies.
Cheers Unilocalers!

They are awesome! My dog Teddy was up all night with an ear infection on a Friday night. I called and left a message at about 4:00 am, knowing I wouldn’t hear from them until they had some free time. Boy, was I wrong! At 8:03 they were on the phone with me, by 8:30 am, Teddy & I were in the office, and by 9:00 am, I was on my way back home with a very reasonable bill AND a dog who felt much better! Thank you to all the wonderful staff! You guys rock! A big woof from Teddy!

Best vets ever. They provide our dog and cats with superior care. When we rescued an injured dog they immediately provided medical care and arranged for Animal Services to pick her up.
They’re so accommodating of pets and their owners!

Hands down the most affordable pet clinic around. Check up is only $ 49 but I was offered the puppy package for my new pup and for only $ 170, it included spaying, microchip, flea control, deworming, several rounds of vaccination… And some other preventive measures. Other places (in Santa Maria, for example) start at $ 200 and that doesn’t include a lot of thesethings… And they’re not as friendly. Fake friendly more like.
Everyone here was sincere and spectacularly nice. The vet Chris Spence was super patient and informative. Great man. I am loving this place.

I absolutely love the doctors here, they get a ⁵⁄₅. They answer all my questions throughly and are very knowledgable. I love them and the care they provide my pets.
I’ve been coming her consistently with all three of my pets; one with a chronic condition. I just don’t like the supporting staff, they seem very fake with high pitch sounds of awww, oooh, ahhh. I’m annoyed that I don’t even get a call to confirm my appointment, and I am always waiting each and every time I come for an appointment.
I always arrive early and on time for my appointments, but now I know to come 5 minutes before my appointment, because I always wait. The last time I came I was waiting for some time, and saw some vet tech come in. I didn’t think anything of it until I realized she was the vet tech to triage my pet. I was waiting on her, which annoyed me, especially since my pets absolutely hate coming to the vet and it’s such a nerve wrecking experience.

I have followed Dr. Wagner through a few different practices and she has been my vet for 10+ years. What I look for in a vet is someone who is experienced, smart and well educated. Someone who genuinely cares about my pets and who understands and can accommodate the more difficult animals. Someone who actually listens to me and acknowledges I know my dogs’ and cats’ behaviors and habits better than anyone else. Someone who will not always assume and treat for the worst case scenario and is willing to take the least invasive approach while informing me of all the different possibilities, giving me their recommendation while letting me make the final decision. This is the relationship I have with my vet and I couldn’t ask for a better partnership.

Dr. Shroyer is so kind, helpful, and compassionate. She and her staff were so helpful when we needed care for a sick ferrel cat. My mother in law could no longer care for the cat because of health reasons. We live four hours away and they went above and beyond to help us and the cat. Anyone who lives in the Nipomo is very lucky. I wish she could be the vet for my animals in Northern California! Their animals in need fund is wonderful too.

I’m very surprised there are only 4 reviews so far! Where do I begin? Our 8 yr. old cocker spaniel was diagnosed with a mast cell tumor on the front of his mouth below his nose. Turns out after major surgery (it was like having a facelift) to remove it, it was grade 2 cancer. Of course we were devastated. We decided to go ahead with chemo treatment and were very thankful that we didn’t have to go out of town to Ventura or Davis for it. Anyone who is nervous about the cost of chemo shouldn’t be– it’s EXTREMELY reasonable.(We were told it would take about 12 weekly treatments)
He’s on his 7^th treatment now and is doing GREAT! Only 1 left! :-)
As far as I’m concerned Dr. Terhaar is a miracle worker! (Duder’s surgeon) I felt 100% comfortable with him performing Duder’s surgery. He was kind enough to send me a picture after his surgery to let me know he was doing well and it went great! I am FOREVER grateful to Dr. Terhaar! Duder has healed so perfectly well that you can’t even tell he had such a major surgery!
Dr.Stamp is so kind and patient. She genuinely cares, has empathy and answered all of our questions. After seeing a few vets in San Luis, we knew we had made the right decision to see her. She personally called us to keep us informed of each step we would take during this time. I found that very comforting and personal.
The whole team has been great to us and I’m embarrassed to say I don’t know all their names but they deserve recognition too! Thank you!
Thank you for helping us through such a heart wrenching time!!! By the way, Shawnah is at the front desk and is always so pleasant! Duder loves her too as she spoils him with treats every visit! ;-)
I recommend Nipomo cat and dog to EVERYONE that truly cares about their pets!
