Muy altos los precios y no tienen ninguna etica profecional porque lo que asen es solamente pensando en el dinero porque mi perrita llego bien solo a una consulta y vacunas y ya de ahi la saque vomitando y asta ahorita a sido muy estresante para mi por lo que mi perrita esta pasando verla vomitando siempre realmente no se lo que paso pero ese es mi caso

Absolutely would NOT recommend.

1. Holding pets — I was not informed that I'd be expected to leave my pet and pick him up later. I don't like leaving my cat unaccompanied and it was the first time I have ever heard of this practice, so I had expected to just go into the office for the visit WITH him, not leave him and pick up later for just a checkup. This also costed me more time out of my day to drive there twice. They did not tell me about this before the appointment.

2. Took a long time — I had booked a routine checkup for a healthy cat, they held him 3 hours before giving me a quote on what needed to be done. They either need to hire more vets or stop overbooking. People don't want to leave their pets that long for something as small as an annual checkup, at least I don't.

3. Costs/scam — They noted my cat had small buildup of ear wax (no inflammation or signs of irritation). For this, and some vaccines, they quoted me $1.3k which I feel is insane. He is healthy and acting normal and I expected the checkup to go well, which I think it did, but they pile on costs of unnecessary treatments because they just want to suck money out of you out of worry.

I felt like I was being preyed on for my concern of my pet's well-being. Never saw the vet face-to-face, felt incredibly slimy over the phone, the vet sounded more like a salesperson than a care provider.

Wanted almost $200 just to be seen. I asked if it was going to be an “emergency” visit because the cost was so high, they said no, that’s their regular pricing. Called around and found united pet hospital in Hayward, their fee is $60 and they have better reviews. Seems like this place might be ok if you’ve got money to burn but if you’re on a budget like me, I would keep looking.

I am very happy, and impressed with the services provided to my dog Lulu yesterday. The staff was helpful every step of the way. Dr. Lew explained what was going to happen thoroughly and answered all of my questions. It was all pretty easy, and Lulu is recovering from her eye injury.

My current pets and past pets have been patients of VCA Lewelling. At one point in time, I felt the service was substandard-both front office and veterinary care. Also, a couple of yrs ago I needed a pet to be seen, and they didn't have an appointment for several days. With this current situation, I was ready to call another vet, but decided to try VCA Lewelling again. Very glad I did! Thank you for taking care of little Lulu

My kitty got very sick suddenly..I called for an emergency appt and I had never been seen here before.. They got us in right away.. Dr. Forseth explained everything in great detail. She called every step of the way and ran alot of tests. Unfortunately my kitty was far sicker then we expected. We made the very very hard decision to let her go. Dr. Forseth and her staff made this process as easy as it could be. Explain the ends and outs of what would happen and allowed us to spend as much time with her before and after as we wanted. They even trimed some fur for me to keep when asked. I am so greatful and appreciative of there help and care for my kitty. I would recommend them to anyone who want through care for there pet.

They were friendly and helpful, just overpriced a bit. I had no idea such a huge bill was coming.
