Everyone at Los Feliz Small Animal Hospital has always been warm, helpful, and seemed genuinely invested in the health and happiness of the animals they treat. My cat has always received the quality care she needs and I'm always happy to have her treated in a supportive environment.

Their veterinarians, techs, and admin staff are always helpful, accommodating, and incredibly sweet. My ever scaredy-cat tortie has gotten steadily less and less scared of vet trips since we began coming here (see bravery growth pics below!). Even the small issues we've experienced in the past have been quickly resolved with good communication and sincere apologies. Highly recommend!

My little Peanut had allergies when we moved to LA. I didn’t know what was happening, she had bumps all over her body and I thought it was ticks or fleas. Dr. Talwar is very friendly and helpful. She also had a pet in the past who’s name was Peanut and her telling me this made me feel happy to hear and gave me some comfort. She was able to help my little yorkie figure out what was wrong and was patient with her, as peanut has severe anxiety. This animal hospital is close to where I live. The techs were very helpful as well and gathered a lot of information about Peanut. I highly recommend them as you get to speak with the vet face to face, where the DT location doesn’t let you meet the vet.

It pains me to write this review as when we moved to LA mid pandemic, LFSAH was a little haven we could rely upon for all our veterinary needs. I felt safe entrusting my pup in their hands.

As time went on, I began to notice the swift changeover of staff, meeting a new tech, vet or receptionist staff member with each appointment. I have a generally healthy dog so appointments were routine vaccine, wellness or faecal tests. It became increasingly difficult to get through to the receptionist telephone line, without being left on hold and forgotten about. Continuity of care started to become scattered.

Last week my pup was examined for what turned out to be a fractured tooth. She was scheduled for surgery with a drop off time between 7.30 and 8am. We arrived at 7.40am, among two other patients, both of which were hand delivered the same information as me. Expect pick up to be between 1 and 2pm, with 4pm being the latest finishing time. I had opted on our pre surgical form to be called before any extraction tooth place, this detail of which I double clarified with one of the staff members.

A little perturbed, I called the clinic at 12.55pm, wondering why I hadn’t received any notification of surgery. I was told by the receptionist the vet techs were with her currently and that I’d receive a call in an hour.

By 3pm, no communication had been received, so I called the clinic back and was promptly put on hold for about eight minutes. Finally I’m transferred to the vet performing the dental extraction, who tells me my pup has just been placed under anaesthesia, her tooth ready to be pulled.

The blood drains from my face “she’s been waiting in the clinic all day?” I ask. “Yes” the doctor answers. “Was she sedated? I inquire. “No she wasn’t sedated.” The vet proceeds to tell me about a patient delay but in the back of my mind I’m falling off a cliff. My very anxious dog, who starts physically shaking the moment we roll up to the vet, has been waiting in a cage in the place she’s fearful of the most, for eight hours? Not having eaten or drunk any water since 9pm the evening before?

Now, I’m not a doctor or chemist or hormone specialist but I don’t think it takes a genius to wonder what the effect of prolonged adrenal activity among other stress factors has on an animal going under anaesthesia and having a bone pulled out from an exposed nerve in her jaw. It can’t be a healthy or helpful state to promote a speedy and safe recovery. I was actually very impressed with the empathy and understanding the veterinarian showed me, however I can’t say the same for a curt curly haired receptionist.

The vet asked me if I would have preferred to have been notified of the delay, opening up the possibility to opt for an alternative day. This definitely would have been appreciated, but at the very least, I don’t understand why I wasn’t consulted or kept in the loop at all about what had transpired.

To add insult to injury, my pup experienced excess bleeding after the extraction, which reoccured when she emerged from the anaesthesia and her blood pressure increased. Funny what stress and a fearful environment does to an otherwise very healthy (so the blood results from last week claim) dog.

A very unnecessary, cruel and disappointing experience.

This is a smallish practice, requiring appointments. After years at another much larger clinic I felt my pets weren't being given close attention, which I enjoy at Los Feliz Small Animal Hospital. Recently, I could tell my dog's chronic kidney disease was advancing, so we were able to get in sooner than later. I was correct that Princess Leia was in serious decline. Dr. Khouban was compassionate and careful as she counseled me on an end of life plan for Princess Leia, also following up on our discussion and checking in on the Princess. I think we were lucky she was in the clinic when we came to the clinic this week, but there's no doubt that any other doctor at this clinic would do the same. Staff members are stellar employees and I thank them all for there gentle care and attention.

It’s nice to totally trust your vet. It’s also so clear how much everybody loves animals here. They’re so sweet to our cats and take all the time we need to answer our questions.

This is a great facility!! All the doctors are really great and very knowledgeable. There are never any bogus charges or unnecessary tests they push you into doing. You always feel like you're getting a thorough check up for your pet. Even though it's not the closest animal hospital for us, we come here over other closer facilities because they are so much better.
