Go anywhere else. they solely care about $, not about the animal. It's so sad. As if the world is not ugly enough- they informed me my kitten would "die" or I needed to get xrays for $1000's of dollars. I declined, took my kitty elsewhere, and he was eating within seconds and the other vet office DID NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE of me. Go elsewhere. If you LOVE YOUR ANIMAL. If you don't, go here.

Great service and reasonable prices. We have a dog-reactive dog and they were great at clearing a path in the lobby to keep everything safe. Vet took the time to explain issues over the phone even on a busy Saturday. I definitely would use them again.

Thankfully they took my pup in for an emergency at midnight they were quick and very sympathetic as I had to say farewell to my baby giving me as much time as I need to say goodbye.

Such amazing patience. My doggie was so scared. It was only her 2nd visit. The vet & delightful staff just sat on the floor with her and gave her their very precious time. They just understood. We have been taking our dogs here for years and have always received great care.

As I was saying my last goodbye to my sick cat of 15 years, a person came in and started to talk about the cost of putting her down and how much my bill was. Thanks. I kindly, very kindly asked her if we could discuss that later. I do think that there is no doubt they are educated doctors and nurses but their social behavior to me seems very cold and heartless.

The doctors at Atascadero Pet Hospital are by far the best in the county. They are professional, and great communicators. They never disappoint. However the office is in disarray. It it always such a long wait to just pick up and pay for their services. Some of the girls seem grumpy like they don't like their job, others are great. It is hard to believe at this point, the same measures as 2 plus years ago when Covid was new and not understood that they refuse to open their lobby and.are everyone has wait in their vehicle. They have charged me with other people's bill, and brought my dog to wrong vehicle. But it is worth all that to have great doctors looking after your pets.

I was driving home from nor-cal and my dog Noni became very I'll. Noni hadn't eaten for 48hrs and couldn't even keep water down. I called at least a dozen 24hr emergency vets from Salinas to San Luis Obispo. Atascadero pet hospital didn't hesitate to take my dog in. They set up an account rite then over the phone. When we finally arrived the staff was professional, quick, &friendly.

Long story short they saved my dog's life. The staff diagnosed her quickly thru blood and urine tests etc. My dog's kidneys were failing from dehydration. The next 48 hours they kept Noni on a IV drip. Basically brought life back to Noni thanks to the great staff. They were reasonably priced and kept us updated at all times. I can't say how thankful I truly am for the Atascadero pet hospital.

Dr. Burke was wonderful and caring for our four year old Labradoodle, Lucy. Dr. Burke was so knowledgeable about our dogs illness, possible causes, treatments, and things we could do for our pet. She spent a lot of time on the phone with us explaining the procedures with follow up calls about her progress and tests results. That is what we all need and want when the pets we love are sick.

We have tried most of the vets in SLO county and The Atascadero Pet Hospital is the best. The staff is very professional, and caring. They are available weekends, when often pets need help. I highly recommend them and their staff. Thank you Dr. Burke! Holly and Bob Smirl

My little guy got banged up in an accident and the girls and Dr Castaneda were so helpful and attentive; I felt confident and at ease with the care and treatment he needed and received at Atascadero Pet Hospital. I'll never take my animals to another vet. We've found our home! Beau thanks you.
