Catalina Pet Hospital

Cannot remember the doctor that helped our cat, but she was friendly. She also was honest with us and did not try to pressure us into buying useless things. Overall, I would return since it’s close to my house and were available during a pet emergency.

I took my little Missy for a dental just over a week ago and they did wonderful job. She had to have 4 teeth pulled which is no surprise as she has had issues on and off for years. Having the Paw Pan saved me tremendously and I only had to pay for the pulled teeth and pain med. This saved me a lot. They take super care of her and Dr. Maus is one of best vets I have ever seen. She explains things so well and is low key yet very serious with what she does. This is wonderful. Now that Missy is almost 11 I really need special care and I have no worries with Catalina Pet Hospital. Missy is doing super after her surgery and much better with scratching allergy that she has had since she arrived in Tucson just over a year ago. Thank you so much for your top notch care!

I have been using this pet hospital for many years and could not recommend them more highly! I primarily see Dr. Buzz Cohen but have also seen Dr. Amanda Maus several times when Dr. Buzz was not available. They are very kind, thorough and give complete instructions for treatment, answering any questions you may ask. They are very compassionate with the animals. Dr. Randy Eberhardt is the vet an animal trainer friend of mine uses. I am part of the rescue community in Tucson and they are all very highly regarded in this group.

I took my two beloved cats here for years before I moved to another state. Both of them have their own special issues: one born with a neurological issue and some gnarly teeth, the other born with a deformed leg/​paw. Dr. Maus was thorough and provided excellent advice and recommendations. It was very clear to me from Day 1 that she truly cared about the pets she saw and the care they received.
I can’t give this place enough stars (so 5 will have to do!) or recommend them enough. If you love your pet (s): take them here!

We have both had dogs our entire lives, and when we got married later in life we adopted a Golden Retriever. Dr. Maus (Catalina Pet Hospital) cared for him his entire life (16 years). We now have a Golden Doodle, and Dr. Maus is caring for him. Dr. Maus is the most caring, empathetic, talented, and knowledgeable vet we have ever experienced. We tried several other vets when we first got our Retriever, but none came even close to Dr. Maus in their knowledge of dog care or their «bedside manner.» Rick & Wendy B.

My two dogs are elderly and have multiple medical problems, diabetes, cancer, arthritis, etc. In every instance, we have received the highest level care. Dr. Maus is knowledgeable and thorough. She has discussed every procedure and its costs and possible benefits and risks. She has been sensitive to my concerns as well. She calls with test results or updates which is reassuring. Dr. Cohen’s experience and skill have served my dogs well. I recommend Catalina Animal Hospital without hesitation.

First of all — my dogs are family to me. When i found Dr. Maus at Catalina Pet Hospital, I felt I had found someone i could trust my dog’s care to with confidence. She is concerned about their health and has consistently provided excellent care. She explains treatment options clearly and always calls back the next morning with test results. She handles my dogs in a very kind and gentle manner. I have been taking my dogs to her for several years and she has walked me through several tough decisions. My husband and I are in the health care field and are both impressed with her medical expertise.

Trusting my vet. at Catalina pet hospital. I took my Maltese in for her yearly exam and shots. they took in the back after I asked if I could go hold her, Dr. Maus said NO they are going to bring out. As I was paying the bill overcharged. They quickly brought her out handed over to my husband, she could not stand up in the car. So when we got home I realized something is WRONG, called them I was told that its normal. Next day kept calling. Never called me back. She is pooping blood. Still they say if I bring her back I will be charged. They quickly say how sorry they are. I’m taking legal action and now I just sit and cry. What kind of people do something like this. And won’t be accountable for their actions. Its all about money. Charged me two times the amount. They know my family and friends I’ve sent there. I feel they took advantage of my situation. My dad recently passed and daisy is my therapy and service dog. Knowing that I live on disability and the fact that daisy is my therapy and service dog. Really makes me feel sick, I can’t live without her. and now I’m going through this, wow that’s really a horrible person who would do this I’m trying to nurse her to health. BUT SADLY SHE’S GETTING WORSE!!!

Dr. Eberhard and his team at Catalina Pet Hospital are knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. They provide an excellent service at reasonable prices, and the most important thing is that they really care about animals and take care of your furry friends as if they were their own.

This place was alright… Took my kitten there for the first time and I just wanted to make sure she was healthy since I adopted her from PACC. Felt like they were guilt tripping me into buying a lot of services and expensive exams. Felt like they were trying to just sell unnecessary services.

When we moved to Tucson, this was the vet we chose for our dog based on their great reviews. I’m sad to say that after a year of service here, we are unhappy customers. The employees never seem happy and if they do show a smile it seems forced. I always feel like I’m inconveniencing them if I have a request for something as small as a copy of my dogs shot records. I don’t recommend them, and I will be taking my business to someone who seems more enthusiastic about helping my pet.

I have taken my pets here as long as I’ve lived in Tucson (1998) and my husband’s family has taken their’s here even longer and have never received anything less than top notch care. Dr. Cohen is hands down, the best vet I’ve ever taken a pet to. He’s funny, kind and knowledgeable. They have been there for my family’s pets from birth to death and treated them all with dignity and compassion. Dr. Maus is also stellar and has seen us when Buzz could not and while I have not had a pet treated by Dr. Eberhard I have known several people who have and all spoken of his excellent care. I wouldn’t take my pets anywhere else.

My Catahoula Leopard Hound/​Dalmatian mix unfortunately passed away a few days ago, but I found solace and comfort with the staff at Catalina Pet Hospital. Dr. Maus continues to be a wonderful individual and comforting. She made sure to call and email while the dog was going through troubles, which to me seemed like an extra touch that she didn’t have to do. Kudos.

I have been going to Dr. Cohen at Catalina Pet Hospital for almost two decades. I like his no-​nonsense attitude, and it’s very clear that his primary concern is always for the animals.

Let me begin by saying that our dogs are our children, so our expectations are extremely high when it comes to their care and treatment. Catalina Pet Hospital has been caring for our fur babies for 5 years now. And it has not always been an easy job.
Within a few weeks of having relocated to Tucson, our papillon needed emergency treatment. She somehow managed to swallow two HUGE rocks and one had nearly perforated her intestine. Dr. Maus took her immediately into surgery without which, she would not have survived. Over the course of her recuperation, we were impressed with the care and concern she and her staff demonstrated. Dr. Maus checked up on her personally and was even kind enough to address any questions we had even if it was after hours.
We then brought home an adorable little yorkie puppy that, after his initial kennel cough treatment at the owner’s home, had only gotten worse. Again, Dr. Maus and the staff were amazing in their care of our little guy who seemed to invent new mishaps and develop new illnesses almost daily. We worried we would lose him, but she never gave up and she pulled him through. After all he has been through, he likes nothing more than to go visit Dr. Maus and staff and hand out kisses to everyone.
We trust Dr. Maus and the staff implicitly and I would highly recommend Catalina Pet Hospital without reservation for your pet’s care.

Before I begin this review let me be positively clear about one thing: my pet’s are my family and I have very high expectations in regards to their veterinarian care.
That being said I shall give you my honest opinion. I would follow Dr. Maus wherever she practiced. Funny thing… A review I just read that was posted recently stated she specializes in dental. I have taken my dog’s, puppy through very senior, to her for approximately 6 year’s. I never even knew that was her speciality!
She helps manage our animals health in every aspect and condition. Currently, we have one dog with Valley Fever and our senior boy with something causing muscle waste. She provides them with individual detailed care. If Dr. Maus doesn’t have an answer or she is not satisfied with the answer from a blood test ect… she is tenacious in her search for what the animal needs to best be cared for. She also is compassionate and confident enough to give you outside resources. Dr. Maus returns all calls in a very reasonable amount of time. In regards to it being more expensive… it has been my experience again and again that Dr. Maus will do her best to be as least invasive financially as possible when it comes to meds and test. Make no mistake though, your animals health and comfort are what she is most concerned about.
Support staff is always friendly even though at times they are overwhelmingly busy dealing with the phones.
Office manager Tina is efficient and deals with matters swiftly.
I prefer to only see Dr. Maus as the other veterinarian there seems a bit old school in that he doesn’t take the same amount of time to do a thorough exam and I don’t feel that he listens to the owner as well. Some people love him and his style. I prefer to be more of a team. So, you can choose either one you are more comfortable with.
I recommend both Dr. Maus and Catalina Pet Hospital. I drive 40 minutes to get there but it is worth it.

Our dog was attacked pretty viciously this morning. We called Catalina Pet Hospital at 8 am (their opening time). They answered and let us know that there was no one there yet but asked if we could hold while they contacted a doctor. When they came back on the line, they told us to come right down. We brought Fred in and they were able to perform surgery on him. They were courteous and thorough. Dr. Maus called us multiple times during the day to update us on Fred’s status. We appreciate Catalina and their staff.

Extremely unhappy. My wife was taking my dog for a walk and he passed out. She called Catalina pet hospital to let them know about his situation and to inform them that she was waiting for a taxi to get him there. They didn’t forward the call to a doctor and they refused to accept her, telling her that she needs to take him to an emergency clinic. So she took him to Acacia pet hospital that was near our place. With no appointment the doctor accepted her and spend almost four hours doing all the exams to make absolutely sure that our dog was ok.
Two days later I called at Catalina and asked to speak with Dr Maus. They hadn’t even bother to call us and check if our dog was dead or alive. When I confronted her she told me that she specializes in teeth and if there something urgent they advice to take our pets to an emergency clinic.
In conclusion if you love your pet and you need a vet that can treat something more serious than a mouth exam do not take it there!!! I can’t even describe how frustrated I am and if my dog had died I would ask for legal action against them.

I am extremely disappointed. They were irresponsible and treated me unprofessionally.
My dog fainted, his tongue was white, he was hardly breathing and called them at 430 pm for first aid instructions until I could go there. The secretary that answered the phone did not forward the call to the doctor, told me to go to the urgent care, did not give me any help although I was crying and told her that I do not have a car and I was alone, she just told me to write down the urgent care clinic number !
They did not even bother to call us the next day !
The dog was bitten by a bug and I went to Acacia animal clinic which was closer than the urgent care clinic they told me. The doctor saw us immediately ran all tests and stayed for us for four hours .
The next day, We called Catalina and asked to speak to the doctor who claimed that they are not a specialized clinic, do not run blood tests and especially Dr Maus who I used to appreciate told us that she is specialized on teeth !!! And I am wondering how could they neuter animals (we had our dog fixed there) if they are not a clinic !
Anyway, I could comment on more but I really do not feel like doing that here .
I took the medical file from there but I am not done with them for sure.

Acceptable but not wonderful. Dr. Maus is a good vet who is pleasant and helpful. The front desk staff do their job, room you and your pet, check you out, and wish you good day. It’s not terribly expensive. It’s okay but not great.
I recently needed to have my dog seen urgently and they stayed open an extra 15 minutes to get us in – which was great. The vet (Dr. Cohen) was convinced my dog was female (nope) and the disconnect in that experience highlighted the ‘meh’ nature of this place. My dog’s not going to be harmed by Dr. Cohen’s lack of attention, but I don’t really feel like I’m much of a priority, either. You get the treatment you need, but there’s not really a personal feel to it… if you are looking for a vet, there are 3 vets here. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like you treat him, you might be disappointed.
