My dog ingested rat poison in December 2011 without us knowing. We took him here on the recommendation of our vet at VCA Orchard Plaza San Jose, CA. Charles stayed here for a week, undergoing a blood transfusion and platelet transfer. I called them over 15 times a day wanting an update on his condition, and would drive up there to sit with him everyday before work. They were ALWAYS courteous, understanding, empathetic, and informational no matter how emotional I was, or how many times a day I called to check on him. They answered every question, phone call, with the same care and respect. They would let me sit with him in a room for an hour everyday before I had to go to work, just because I wanted Charles to not feel alone while so sick. He almost died from this, and this clinic saved his life, and in the process helped ease my stress and worry, with amazing compassion and respect. They will forever be my hero's, and I know my Charles is the happiest pup in the world.

My poor Zeus was a lemon. The best lemon. Had a Hail Mary diagnosis of Addison's disease at 2. We then came to pets best for insurance for the "serious stuff". The serious stuff did happen at age 4. He was diagnosed with condro sarcoma which was operable. Unfortunate our little big guy didn't do well with surgery due to the addisons limiting the meds he could take. We took him home unable to walk. Dr smith drove an hour to make sure we had our sick bed set up properly and that his vitals were good and the catheter didn't shift in transport. She is an amazing woman and unfortunately we lost our poor boy due to infection and probably stress. But we had him for 2 more weeks at home to give him all our love. He just couldn't fight anymore. RIP my 4 1/2 rottie baby.

Dr. Jaime is a caring, compassionate vet. No matter what the problem she has made her available at all times. She helped ease the pain for me when I had to let my dog Pinky go. I always know that she sincerely cares about the well being of my pets, and beyond that, the humans as well.

My cat, Punkin, had a problem with her teeth so I thought I would try Larkspur cat clinic. Dr. Smith and his staff were wonderful with Punkin and got her taken care of. I have continued to take both cats, who have since been diagnosed with thyroid disease and high blood pressure, to see Dr. Smith every few weeks. His staff is wonderful with them and it is apparent that all of them really love cats. I have recommended the Larkspur Cat Clinic and especially Dr. Smith to all of my friends who have cats and I would never think of using another vet for my very precious "loved ones".

I’d like to nominate Dr Decosta because back in 2007 when my cat was still alive and he was very sick one Saturday morning, I called 4 other vets and they’d not take me because they were booked with other apps. Cypress vet hospital owned by Dr Decosta was the only one that gave me an emergency app even though they were booked that morning and I was a first time customer. Also we travel a lot to Mexico and they always make sure I have all the documents I need for Casper’s trip and if I need something faxed to Mexico they always do. Also they have their open house/custom contest every october and the photo with Santa on December to help for food and toy drive for kids and pets in need of help. Prices are affordable and they always attend you with a smile. My dog loves going to the vet beacuse they always treat him well, and are playful with him. Dr Decosta is a great vet and my dog Casper loves her very much.

Last year, I had to say farewell to my beloved boxer, Mason. He had been diagnosed with degenerative myleopathy a year earlier. Dr. Ina guided us through his diagnosis, helped us adapt and make Mason's life easier so I could keep him active and happy for as long as possible. She told me when it was time to let him go also. She made the actual event as calm and peaceful as it could be and her entire team were so compassionate and generous of their time. They understood how much Mason meant to me and did everything to make his passing as easy as possible. They have now welcomed Spencer with the same compassion and I know he is in good hands!

She is very kind, sensitive, extremely knowledgeable and has a lot of experience. She and the staff go out of their way to make sure that not only is my dog Winston comfortable and at ease but that I am too! I love Doctor Weiss and the staff at Arguello been going to them since 1988.

He is the type of vet to put you and your pet at ease. Instantly getting down to their level to say hi, working tirelessly day and night (on call) between two hospitals that he also owns. He is always doing what is best for the pet while also trying to keep it within cost for you. The type that exudes a passion for doing what's right and always helping those pets in need no matter what. The type that believes that educating clients is just as important as preventive care .

Dr. Ina's career expands 45 years and has cared for 4 of my family's dogs during that time. His passion carries over to all of his staff as well. They all go out of their way to make sure the health and well being of our pets are their top priorities.

Dr. Cali as far as I am concerned is the greatest Vet there is. Our English Mastiff was just diganosed with bone cancer in February. Dr. Cali found the cancer and was very aggresive with the treatment. Matyka was sent to a different vet hospital to have the treatment done. Matyka has had her leg amputated and is going threw chemo and doing great. Dr. Cali keeps up with her treatment even though she doesn't have to. If I have a question she always calls me back even on her days off. She goes above and beyond. You can tell she loves her job. I'm glad she is my vet and so are all five of my English Mastiffs. She is also a real good friend. I hope she wins.

I have been a client of APH since 1979. I started with Mike Ina and now his daughter, Jamie, is a vet along side him (Mike's goodness and greatness have rubbed off on her, the second generation at APH). The place is fantastic. The staff is friendly and professional. Jamie (just as her father) is kind, caring, and extremely generous with her time and energy. Her concern for the overall health and well being of the pet and the guardian knows no bounds. During visits and exams Jamie is calm, caring, and understanding. She takes time to answer emails about non-emergency concerns, thus putting worried minds at ease. Jamie is truly a remarkable and dedicated vet who loves her clients (both animal and human) and her life as a vet. /// Here's a picture of Julius relaxing on my bed. He's about 7. He was rescued from the streets of San Francisco a few years ago, more than likely abandoned and left to fend for himself. He was scheduled to be executed by AC
