Little Cottonwood Animal Hospital Los Alamitos, California

Doctors are very caring and really do love animals. I highly recommend them for all of your animal care.

Dog needed a eyeball removed, they did a very nice job. I will recommend them to everybody that needs a vet.

Nice facility. Wonderful doctors. Receptionists sometimes forget they placed you on hold.

The veterinarians there, Dr Horvath is a fantastic veterinarian who's taken care of two of my pets in the past 30 years. She retired for a while and we really missed her but now she's back which is really great for the community because Dr Horvath is a fine veterinarian. She puts your pet before the Mighty Dollar which is rare these days unfortunately for us pet owners. Dr. Oliver is also another fantastic veterinarian and who is taking care of my pets over the recent years.

They said I had to get my dog 2 shots before they would give it a bath the vet that saw her said not necessary cause she is 15 1/2years old tried explaining that but they insisted They just wanted the money is how I feel. My dog is going down hill it's sad that they put her through that.

Staff are rude and not knowledgeable. Office manager has no idea what’s she’s doing. Received treatment for my cat which was ineffective, unnecessary and extremely expensive. It didn’t work at all and their remedy was to have me pay more money for another treatment. No concern for their customers or their incompetence.

Staff is extremely friendly. The doctor came and and listened to my concerns, went over recommendations and answered all my questions. She took her time, didn't rush. I highly recommend!!

Great and honest service. I've brought 2 of my cats here. The staff is very caring and knowledgeable.

They took very good care of my new little kitties. I recommend them highly!

Recommend the vet and staff here. They took such care of my Labrador. Within days, she was like a new dog. She has allergies which we knew of, but this time it was a serious yeast infection causing her to be miserable. More she is doing fantastic, her coat is wonderful, she's not itching, scratching, her fur is growing back. The staff is kind, I was almost hysterical over the phone. My vet tried and I hadn't found one I trusted. I called them up, they gave same day appointment, answered all my questions. I can not say enough good things about our experience there

I’m a a new pt here and I’m not gonna lie I’m still shaking waiting for my mom to pay but I can really say I had a good experience. The doc came in poke and prodded me (it didn’t hurt) and found out what was wrong with me. I heard my mom talking to my brother and she was really happy with this hospital. I hope I don’t have to come back anytime soon but if I do I know I will be in good hands. ????

Little Cottonwood Animal Hospital saved my dog's life AND the doctors followed up with me every day for a week until she was doing better and eating on her own. If that doesn't tell you the quality of care they provide, I don't know what does. During this crazy world of COVID, I AM EXTREMELY GRATEFUL for the Little Cottonwood Animal Hospital for seeing my dog DAY OF. I walked in to 2 other "emergency" hospitals and called 6 other animal hospitals and no one, NO ONE would see her because they were at capacity or didn't have room in their schedule and it almost caused us to loose our pup. I came in July 5th, after my husband called to see if they could see our dog, based on her symptoms they considered her issue urgent and asked us to come in within the hour. Dr Horvath saw her and immediately saw there was a problem based on her symptoms and how she looked. She ordered X-rays and blood work to be done right away. They found she had a horrible infection in her uterus and needed to be operated on right away. She called one of the other doctors (Dr. Licciardo) to come in on her day off to perform an emergency operation. After her operation, they weren't sure if the infection would affect her organs, so for two days they asked me to bring her in from morning to evening so they could give her meds and IV fluids. On the second day, they check her blood work again to confirm she didn't have organ failure. However, her energy was very low and she was not eating on her own. They provided me with dog food and syringes to help us give her food and water. They checked on me every day, either by phone or text, for a week until I was able to tell them my dog was doing much better. I am extremely grateful for the doctors and the staff at this animal hospital. If it weren't for them, our dog may not be with us.

So far so good ????

The staff is great. The wait time is always too looooong. Do not plan for a quick visit.

Excellent first experience. I brought my new puppy here for her first checkup and the staff was so thorough and friendly. I am so happy I found a great veterinary clinic that will take great care of my new puppy!

I cannot say enough great things about this place. I took my 11yo Boston in on a Saturday morning without an appointment and they graciously added him to the line up. I was never made to feel like I was a bother or that Charlie wasn’t a priority. Great advice from the vet and very knowledgeable. She did not try to convince to purchase all the things but explained why she thought they were necessary to the health of my old dog. We ended up taking all her recommendations and received a discount on the price of the office visit. EVERY time I call, the person on the other end is friendly and helpful and knowledgeable. EXCELLENT!

Found the staff helpful and kind and very pleased with them

The staff and the Vets are excellent unfortunately I spent $ $1,000 at an emergency the day before and they did nothing really but when I got her there on Monday they gave her shots and test and she's gotten a lot better. Definitely will go back to them

My very senior Boston Terrier had massive joint pain and was yelping in pain and couldn't walk, go outside, etc. He hasn't been to the vet in a while and we don't have all his shot paperwork handy but we didn't want to go to the ER with him. So I found Little Cottonwood and my wife brought him in the next morning (with no appointment) at 7:45am Saturday. We were seen right away and the Dr. was very knowledgeable and great bedside manner. We ended up getting bloodwork and xrays to help with the diagnosis and left within 90 minutes of walking in with Rx in hand. The next day after our Boston took the meds, he was like a spring chicken and was able to walk, wasn't yelping in pain and back to his normal old self. The total price was also very reasonable and probably 25% less than I expected. We will be coming back and I'd highly recommend.

Great at applying precautions for covid while still permitting a single masked owner in with dog. Staging entry times with great precision. Well done! So far the medical support has been great too. My dog can be a great patient if I'm with him, or a complete (dangerous) nightmare if I'm not. That they made a way for me to be with him for the exam meant he could stay calm and then be good for them when they needed to take him in the back for a blood draw. Other vets have met THE DEMON when trying to do a blood draw, so I can't emphasize enough how important their willingness to work with Masked Me coming along with my dog was to our success.

We are new customers but everyone so far seems very caring and truly interested in what's in our pets best interest in terms of health care.

After find a stray kitten, I called and got squeezed in the day of. It was very clean. Everyone was super helpful, kind, compassionate, and professional. All of my questions, no matter how silly, were answered in detail. I even received a follow-up call to check on the kitten's development. I will be coming only here from now on.

Committed doctors, fair prices.

We brought our puppy there, he got along super well with the staff and the Dr. Everyone working there did their best job to make our experience comfortable. Thank you guys ..

My wife and I have been taking our dogs to Dr. Horvath for years and have always received the best possible treatment and care of our animals. She is extremely knowledgable and and excellent veterinarian! I would highly recommend her to others!

Took my cat in for nail clipping. Staff was very nice and efficient. ????

Really good place. Very good vet/client interaction during this time and the vets are very knowledgeable and experienced.

Experienced vets and a nice office staff.

They are taking care of BK a cat that was trapped in March 2018 with an embedded collar. He was retrapped 23 Jan 2020 and the wound had never healed completely. Dr. Horvath, Dr Licciardo and the staff are wonderful.

I am very picky as to deals with my dogs, when I had a problem with my 12 year standard poodle, I tried Little Cottonwood and was very pleased . Dr Horvath, took a vast amount of time to find out what was wrong. She called when she said she would and researched in-depth for an answer, I thought it was time to send my poodle to the rainbow bridge , with her knowledge and wisdom we have been saved that decision. I will recommend the Vets at this office to everyone. The cost was within reason and there was a lot of “let’s this test, just because. She took the time to explain when and what of each test.
