The Animal Doctor Ventura, California

I called about every vet in Ventura county. My shepherd was not eating or drinking anything. Dr.Wilson and her staff suggested I leave him there. Accommodated a room for Pumbaa and examined him in between there regular appts of the day. Thank goodness for them ! My dogs regular vet facility didn’t even make these accommodation. Thank you to her and her staff, my fur baby is at home with medications.

As always the Animal Dr. is the best. The staff are so good with Bentley. Bentley loves Dr. Wilson. Have taken all my pets there. Thank you all for being the number one VET in Ventura

We had just moved in the area and were looking for a new vet. My puppy had previously had a seizure so I was very cautious and open about how I did not want to do a flea treatment. The doctor has been amazing and very kind, but my 3 stars is due to the front desk staff. I don't know why but they are always so rude to me especially when I let them know when I am getting something done for my puppy somewhere else or when I don't want to follow there "puppy package". Every time I have to call I dread it and hope for the one nice front desk lady because of how antagonistic the others are. Bottom line great doctors, good prices overall, rude front of house staff.

We’ve been to this vet for years now, but stopped a year or two ago. I took my 15 year-old dog who is having health issues and unfortunately has kidney disease. Not even 10 minutes after taking her in the vet is criticizing her health and telling me to put her down. They say she is experiencing pain which I did not see but trusted them and gave her pain medication. I should have researched the opioid beforehand. They prescribed Buprenex which is like morphine. They literally wanted me to kill my dog slowly with this drug that is not suitable for those with kidney disease or elderly dogs! After one dose I knew this drug was not appropriate.

Animal doctor wanted to charge me over 1,000 dollars for services I was able to get at another Vet for 150$.... They make pet owners feel guilty for not following their (highly priced) recommendations at a time when you're feeling Vunerable ! !!... Don't fall for this Trap !!! You Can get Much better care at a fraction of the Cost elsewhere ! !!

We We’re customers for at 3 years. The service sucked but the prices are out of this world. The drs. Like to criticize our pets weight, but not offer up a diet plan. The staff was friendly but not so caring towards the animals.

Through the years, I've learned to count on Doctor Wilson (The Animal Doctor) for great professional knowledge and loving care of my cats.

We have been taking our babies to Dr. Shelly Wilson at The Animal Doctor for over 20 years. Dr. Wilson and her staff are the best. They are so compassionate, kind, thoughtful and conduct themselves and the business with the utmost integrity. Dr. Wilson has done an amazing job selecting and training her staff. Each one of them deserves a five star review of their own! The Animal Doctor has almost every service your fur baby could need. From wellness visits, to dental care, to surgery and so much more. They are excellent at what they do and are able to refer out to specialists if the occasion arises. Unless we were to move out of the area, we will never take our babies anywhere else. We are so grateful for all the care and love we have received at The Animal Doctor.

I expect a Veterinary clinic to be able to work with my family on price and figuring out what they would be comfortable in paying but it seems they were pushing meds on my family. This made them feel uncomfortable and now they are stressing to pay off these medical expenses. We understood what was going on with our family pet in that she had to be seen but we will not be returning to this clinic due to pushing meds on us to pay for. I also wanted to make sure all my questions were answered while I was there and I felt I was being pushed out the door cause they were closing.

The doctors, staff, and their philosophy of how the clinic should be run for the comfort of the animals is amazing! I love this place!

This vet has been great with our guinea pigs so we knew they would be great with our dog, and they were. They gave us an option for our dogs fractured tooth that the other 2 vets did not, restoration instead of just pulling. Our dog is just 9 years old, I didn't want to just pull his tooth. We have been taking our guinea pigs to Dr. Wilson for a few years now and got excellent care, even when our one guinea pig got cancer and Dr. Wilson did her surgery. She will now be our dog's new vet too. Love this place!!!

Dr Wilson is awesome! The most thorough Vet I have ever dealt with.

Dr. Wilson at the Animal Doctor has been our vet for about 25 years, treating three generations of our beloved cats. I can’t say enough good things about her, her staff and her clinic/hospital. Dr. Wilson is compassionate and loving. She is also vitally interested in all of the amazing improvements in veterinary medicine, so she offers cutting edge care. She’s unfailingly patient in explaining new technologies and comparing them with tried and true methods, suggesting the BEST options, new or old. Her associate vets and entire staff reflect her kind, patient-first approach. I’d give the Animal Doctor 100 stars if I could!

Every person I came in contact with at "The Animal Doctor" gave excellent heartfelt care. Dr. K gave us so much time and attention. She was kind, patient, educational and thorough. The office is run professionally and efficiently. I am deeply grateful to the personal attention and loving services provided to my cat and me at "The Animal Doctor".

We loved this place! The staff was friendly to us and our dog since the very beginning! Michaela and Trisha are wonderful with dogs and have the best manners with people! Dr Pasek was very patient with our barking and scared dog, she gave him plenty of time to relax and learn to trust her, she was very gentle with him during the exam, she answered all of our questions and gave us good recommendations. The place is nice and clean. Prices are very very reasonable. Altogether the service here was 10 stars! We highly recommend it!!!

Wonderful vets, wonderful vet techs and wonderful office staff. I couldn't ask for a more caring and compassionate veterinary team.

Very attentive vets and vet staff, that being said they are very expensive and if you do decide to bring your animal here expect to be up sold on every vaccine none to man. If they could just bring their prices down a little bit it would show that they care more for the animals then the incoming money!

Dr. Wilson and staff are always excellent with my dogs. I highly recommend them to anyone.

We've had nothing but great experiences with The Animal Doctor. Appointments are easy to make - they even have Saturday availability, which is convenient for those that work during the week. The staff is super friendly, knowledgeable and loving, and the office is clean. I recommend The Animal Doctor to anyone needing Vet services.

I love the animal doctor...Never had a problem with them...Even got a free cat bath... …

Dr. Wilson has been taking care of our animals for over 15 years. Dr. Wilson and her staff are excellent. I highly recommend The Animal Doctor.

I've known this Vet for years and they have an awesome friendly and very smart crew. You won't have second thoughts about taking your pet here.
