Monterey Peninsula-Salinas Veterinarian

I had a great experience at this Emergency Vet. My dog split his lip and they were able to see him right away on a Saturday morning. They glued it right up and off we went! They were super friendly and helpful. I'll definitely go back.

Very nice staff and doctor. My elderly dog had to be put down in the middle of the night because she was in pain. They were kind and compassionate during my visit. I would recommend them.

My cat had a medical emergency recently. I took him to my vet who saw him right away. She said he couldn't go home, needed to be monitored overnight, so we arranged for him to be at Monterey Peninsula Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Center. I spoke at length with the night shift doctor about my cat. The next day I got a call from the owner, also a vet, who said she couldn't do the day or night shift she was scheduled for due to illness.

I asked if her techs could deal with his condition without a doctor present. She assured me they could. The next morning she called, having recovered and gone to the clinic. My cat had improved enough for me to take him home that afternoon. The doctors were helpful and compassionate and I felt my cat was in good hands all weekend.

I have no reason to doubt they are good vets, and their service was much more prompt and considerate than some emergency vets. However, when my dog did not exhibit the symptoms at the vet's that she had been exhibiting at home, they definitely made me feel like an idiot for bringing her in. I would have preferred that they be kinder and more reassuring about it. This is the first dog I've owned, so it was hard for me to evaluate the situation. That's why I brought her in. That said, I would definitely go back to them.

I'm glad I found MPV. They are responsive to me when I need an appointment. The Dr. (owner) was compassionate when I had to put my cat Sam to sleep. The other Dr. (short blond hair) is very good with my two dogs. The front office is professional and friendly. Excellent customer service.

Monterey Peninsula Ver was not our normal per care provider. Our 16 year old dog's quality of life has deteriorated rapidly over a week. Our regular vet could not accommodate having both my wife and me in the room with our dog so we needed to identify another vet to administer end of life procedures. Monterey Peninsula was recommended and the care and love the Vet and her assistant provided to us and our dog was outstanding. Very highly recommended - thank you!

I took my cat here during the height of the pandemic, they were able to see us right away. They handled the entire visit professionally and helped me with a very difficult time. I highly recommend their services.

After taking our boys to several different veterinarians in the area, we can say Dr. Herrmann and the rest of the people at MPVESC are the best! The people are very friendly and the facilities are always fresh and clean. Even when we arrive after hours with a dog in pain we are welcomed and are seen quickly by the doctor. We appreciate Dr. Herrmann's direct style and value her expertise.

We recently boarded our dogs there and they seemed well taken care of. It was tough for us to trust someone with our boys for several days as we had never boarded them before. We picked them up and they were happy and clean. We highly recommend Dr. Herrmann and everyone else at MPVESC.

After reading reviews I had high hopes this vet would be able to help me and my cat. Unfortunately, after being 40 minutes late to our scheduled appointment, the vet on site only quickly checked over my cat and sent us on our way with no answers, as well as a much bigger price tag than mentioned over the phone. If you have a cat and are looking for a new vet this is NOT the vet for you.

After visiting Purrfurably Cats I was able to receive the care and medication I needed for my pet, but I feel terrible he had to wait another uncomfortable two weeks due to a lack of thorough veterinary work. It was a chaotic and unprofessional environment that did more to stress my pet than heal him. I do not recommend this place if you're looking for a primary care vet, and would even hesitate to return to them in an emergency situation.

I have gone to this facility for the last three years with many of my pets. The staff is always friendly even when they are busy. Dr. Herrmann has been our primary care veterinarian for years and has also been available during emergency hours when my pets were in need of care. The team is so kind. I was so embarrassed when my dog accidentally peed on the vet tech. The tech was so gracious saying "No problem. It's part of my job!" Monterey Peninsula veterinary service is the best 24 hour emergency clinic around.

Our little dog was bitten by a big dog Friday nite. Holiday weekend in Santa Cruz, no vets available, so we drove over an hour to Monterey. Dog lost a lot of blood and had trouble breathing. Another two hours in the waiting room, then the vet spent less than two minutes with our pet. Pronounced her fine and dismissed us. Dog continued to bleed and gat worse. Had to go to another vet and she is scheduled for surgery. This place did nothing for our pet.

Monterey Peninsula Veterinary Services at Ryan Ranch consistently has provided compassionate, continuous and competent care for our pets over a span of twelve years. We cannot praise this organization enough. Need to deal with an emergency on Sunday morning? You will be seen! Even on an emergent basis when unfamiliar staff have treated our pets, the service has been consistent, honest and above all, compassionate.

We have required euthanasia services. Monterey Peninsula Veterinary Services has gotten both our pets and us through these events. Perhaps the location at Ryan Ranch is off-putting only because the entire Ryan Ranch complex--composed of all kinds of medical services-- is quiet and overwhelming and sterile for humans and for pets. Inside Monterey Peninsula Veterinary Services, however, you find kind and helpful staff.

A regular front-desk professional, Heather, works efficiently and is the on-going familiar face we encounter upon arrival and on the phone. If you are looking for a warm and fuzzy experience for yourself and your pet, reach out to your small-city, old-school veterinarian. If you are in need of continuous, cost-effect care for your pets, do not discount Monterey Peninsula Veterinary Services because its greatest asset is the youngish up-to-date veterinarians and staff.

My mini schnauzer had an abscess in his paw and I took him to Monterey Peninsula Vet. The wait was short and the doctor discovered a fox tail embedded in his paw. The procedure went well and my dog completely recovered within 7 days after meds and antiseptic care. My thanks to the competent and professional staff at the vets

I had to find a pet hospital since I was only visiting the area. Of the two pet hospital's in the area, this one said there was a two hour wait, and the other one didn't even have a doctor until noon. I was calling at roughly 8:30 in the morning. Upon arrival, they didn't even say hello, or ask what was wrong, they just said you might want to go somewhere else we are on a two hour wait.

Tough to do when the only other hospital didn't have a doc in. There wasn't any triage. (A little surprising given they are an emergency hospital.). They did not take a temperature. They did send us home with some antibiotics which provided some relief for my pup. However they didn't call with lab results. I had to call two times before they called back.

When you need a pet hospital, it is important to feel confident that they are taking good care of your beloved pet. They were rushing around so much and moving so fast it was hard to imagine that it was thorough care. If there was an emergency that took over or made it an especially chaotic morning, I understand, however it didn't seem like that was the case.

Dr. Herman is hand down the best vet we've encountered since moving from Los Angeles. And she is on par with our beloved vet in so cal. This woman is incredibly caring and works tirelessly. You couldn't ask for more from the person protecting the continued life of your pet. She is no B.S. and cuts straight to the matter, which I find refreshing. I don't care about small talk when my dog's life is on the line, and neither does she.

We brought our 15 year old pug in during emergency hours and two days later he was better than he was before. Frank is happy and alive thanks to the incredible work of Dr. Herman and her team. We are forever grateful and have become life-long clients after just one visit. THANK YOU MONTEREY PENINSULA VET FOR SAVING FRANK'S LIFE!

I am very pleased with the help that I received for my dog Moo Moo's at Monterey Peninsula Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Center. It was very reassuring to have a 24-hour emergency Center that could help her. As soon as we walk through the door they where there, and took extremely good care of her when she needed it the most. I'm very grateful for the staff for being there for us. I would definitely recommend anybody who may have any worries or concerns, when it comes to their pets that this is a great place to bring them to.
