I have recently started boarding my dog, Tinker, at Altadena Valley Animal Clinic. Before leaving my baby, I went by the place to check it out. The staff was very helpful and happy to show me every aspect of what my dog's stay would entail. They showed me the suites that they have, and while extremely nice, it was a little pricey for me. The kennel boarding was very reasonable and I was told I could bring whatever I wanted for Tink to have with her while she stayed. As I was touring the clinic I noticed that all the dogs in the kennel had lots of bedding and all seemed very happy. Tinker has stayed at the clinic three times now, and every time she comes home, she is happy. She even gets excited when we pull in the parking lot and is eager to go inside! (Never happened at our previous vet) I am very pleased with the staff, the vet, and the facilities. I would highly recommend Altadena Valley Animal Clinic!

I took my dog into this clinic when she was having some sort of allergic reaction. Her face was swollen and she was in agony pawing at herself. They took me right in without an appointment and the doctor immediately treated her. They had me leave her for a while and when I returned she was so much better!! The vet explained everything to me and didn't do anything without my consent. She obviously knows what she's talking about and I certainly trust her judgement! I will continue taking my sweetie dog to Altadena Valley!

Do not go to this animal clinic. I brought my cat there because he was having trouble breathing. They took xrays and told me it looked like he had asthma. So they gave him three shots, one an antibiotic, one a bronchodialator, and a steroid. He did not have a fever, but they suggested a sonogram which costs 350 dollars. I'm a student so that's a lot of money. I left with a a300 dollar vet bill. My mom told me to get a second opinion so I took him to his previous vet. He had a fever, and told me it was most likely caused by the steroid. They told me he had a respiratory infection, not asthma. They also said he didn't have the right antibiotic. So basically I spent 300 dollars for a vet to misdiagnose my cat, give him an unnecessary medication, and give him another that could have killed him if I hadn't taken him again today.

Altadena Valley is the best animal clinic I've ever been to. The staff is very polite, they're patient and listen to my concerns. I am able to make payments over time and I've never been dissatisfied with a groom. The facilities are clean and well maintained, some of them even have webcams that I can watch my dogs on while on vacation!
