I used to go to VCA in West LA. I felt like they were constantly ripping me off. I took my girl there for an estimate on an operation for a small hernia. They told me $1700!!! On top of it, they told me I had to do it within the next 2 days or she would die. I found that VERY hard to believe. So I went for a second opinion at Mission Animal Care in Granada Hills. They told me that her hernia was not such a big deal and couldn't understand why they would have told me such a lie. I still got the surgery and it only ended up costing me $450 with meds and all!!! My girl is perfect! That was not the only time either. I had to get my boys baby teeth pulled and they gave me some outrageous esitmate. I ended up getting his teeth pulled at the same place my girl had her surger and only costing me a total of $150. I also didn't realize how much more I was paying for shots until I started going to Mission Animal Care. I'm not trying to bash your vet at all!! I just thought you should know that most of the things they do there are so incredibly unnecessary. Sorry so long!! My suggestion is Mission Animal Care. They're really, really good...and trust me, I have a hard time trusting my babies to anyone's care. Good luck! fhew!!
