Both vets are rude, lies and then after I was told one price they wanted to bill me several hundred dollars more than first agreed on for helping a stray cat that I bought in for a sore foot. On our personal cat I was charged around 1,700 hundred for shots after we rescued her from the pound. I'll never go back. All should stay clear of this money pit.

Inside the place seems pretty dated and that's if you can get inside. I don't like the drive up system they currently still have in place post covid. Service was good no complaints there.

I have had nothing but great experiences here. I was especially impressed by their care and concern for a cat that needed to be euthanized. She was well loved I her last moments.

Been bringing our dog here for years. Very professional and courteous. Will let you know prices upfront and let you decide on course of action.

I've been taking my dog here since my dog was 8 weeks, he is now 10 years old. Dr. Harrigan and Dr. Hoyt are both fantastic. Dr. Harrigan saved my dogs life a few years ago and I will always be grateful. I highly recommend Gilroy Veterinary Hospital.

Took my dog to get spayed a few years ago and it was insanely expensive and when I noticed my dog incision was extremely swollen, red and hard I called and no one answered. Being the concerned pet parent and unaware if this was normal i went to their office and the staff was not helpful at all, she had no knowledge and couldn't answer any of my basic questions and didn't know how to help, when she asked the vet all he said was "it's fine" and didn't bother quickly looking at her! CARELESS. Took her to San Martin VCA and they're amazing!

These guys are fabulous! They have seen us through two dogs lives and now two cats. They are always very caring, compassionate and don't try to sell you on services/products you don't need. I have referred several people here and they all love them. I drive from San Jose and it's absolutely worth it. Thank you Gilroy Veterinary!

We have been bringing our dogs here for 8 years. The doctors (Harrigan, Martinez, and now Hoyt) always treat our dogs like they are the favorites. Very caring; very professional; very thorough. Their vet techs are awesome with the dogs: so caring and considerate. Their staff is friendly and helpful also. We take our personal dogs here (3) and would never consider going anywhere else.

We also foster for a rescue and have probably taken around 20 dogs in for evaluations. They know they will only see these dogs once or twice and that we will only have them for a short time, yet they treat every one of them with caring and tenderness.
