Dr Shipp's Animal Hospital

My dog had a weird rash and I went to my regular vet who prescribed a cream but it didn't help. So I went back, and she told me to keep using the same cream...and by this time the rash got even worse. So I came here for a second opinion and they told me to change to diet and the rash went away! more

ATTENTION: If you love your pet as much as I do you have to go to Dr Erin Wilson. She is soooo awesome and so attentive. Your Pet will love her just as much as you will!!!! I have never been more satisfied with a veterinarian. My Dog Brooklyn just had a bad case of kennel cough, so I went to Dr Wilson for a Diagnosis she not only told me what was going on with my animal but she also gave me options she spent time explaining the condition to me and I left reassured I could call her anytime if I have problem.....Who does that??? I also just want to say I met the nurse who help treat my dog her name is Lucie and she is just as caring and wonderful.Lucie treated Brooklyn like she was her pet.. I call them my Dynamic dog duo !!!! more

My 12 year old dog needed bladder surgery and the staff at the animal hospital treated her like she was one of theirs. Amazing treatment, the surgery went well and they took special care to follow up on her recovery with diligence. The most surprising part was that they stuck to their estimate for cost. I was just waiting for the hospital to tack on more fees here and there, but they stuck to the original number they gave me which was a huge relief and a surprise in this economy. They are awesome. Go there for sure. more

Called this facility looking for guidance and was berated and abused verbally by this woman named Teri or Keri, Accrimonious and hostile from the start. I am an airline professional and in 30 years have not been talked down to like this. NEVER would I let my little guy endure wht must go on in the back room more

I lost my 5-year old Jack Russell Terrier to bone cancer this week. I'd been out of work almost a year when it was finally diagnosed (a dreadful vet in L.A. said he had an elbow injury and put a soft cast on his elbow, when he had a flat bone osteosarcoma in his SHOULDER), and cancer treatment is so expensive. After his surgery, I contacted Animals and Others for Friends to get options for low cost ancillary care, and they recommended Shipps. I was able to get CBCs, x-rays, and routine care from Shipps at an incredibly reasonable cost, that allowed me to continue his chemo treatments. I can't believe anyone would say Dr. Shipps is ""money hungry."" That is simply ridiculous. Dr. Wilson knew I was struggling to pay for chemo, and gave me discounts and didn't charge at all for some things. The staff and Dr. Wilson were unbelievably kind to me. I cried so much and so often. They hugged me and loved my dog. Dr. Wilson is an incredible vet. I've had large animals and pets most of my life, and have dealt with a lot of vets. Dr. Wilson is as good as it gets. My dog had a superb surgeon in San Diego and exceptional oncologists there and in L.A., but Dr. Wilson took care of ME. She spent so much time explaining what was going on, and gave me something no one else did ... peace of mind that I'd done everything I could and that my best friend was just the victim of a horrible, aggressive, rare cancer. She spent time with me in the office, and called me on the telephone. ""Above and beyond the call of duty"" doesn't begin to describe what she did. It's not that the specialists didn't provide comfort or try to provide comfort, but they were always ""careful"" about what they told me (vets and medical doctors have to be so cautious about anything they say these days because so many people sue for stupid BS). Dr. Wilson laid it out ... she is very direct and honest. I simply would not be managing my grief without her. As an aside, I've seen some posts that Shipps has a ""pong."" They share space with a large dog rescue foundation that provides homes (loving homes!) for a lot of dogs who are too old to be adopted. They are providing a great service. It would be a shame if people didn't go to Shipps because it sometimes has a doggie smell, especially if you need reasonably priced care. more

couldn't get through to a real person more

Highly, highly recommend this vet practice. Dr. Stein is an extremely knowledgable and honest vet. Add to this a caring staff and an affiliation with the Amanda Foundation which takes care of countless abandoned animals, don't even consider going anywhere else. These people really care about your pets! I have referred others to this practice and we are all happy. I am especially happy that they saved the life of my beloved dog, Lily, who is thriving under their good care. Pros: They really love animals! more

I went to Dr. Shipp animal hospital, right away the nurse encouraged me to do unnecesary operations to my poor dog. She kept on telling me to come back week after week( everytime it was something new) finally i went to a different vet and he is taking good care of my baby Pros: i went because i lreside in beverly hills Cons: they use my dog to make money more

Some years ago I took my elderly cat to Dr Shipp for dental work. Dr Shipp was very compassionate and allowed me to remain with my cat while he was anesthecized, while he was awakening, and even during the procedure. more

This was a great experience. The facility was clean and cozy. Very kind and accomidating staff. I had to put my cat to sleep here because he had cancer and the staff made it the best possible experience. They were sympathetic and professional. Prices are fair and everyone seemed to truly love animals and their jobs. I would reccomend this clinic over all others in town. more

Yeah, yeah, everyone says ""the staff all loves animals"" but there's a real sense that the people here really do it out of a genuine labor of love. I'm pretty sure much of staff is volunteering their time and the office operates a rescue operation in addition to the vet work. Pros: Friendly, reasonable prices, open 7 days Cons: Humble office, if that's a con (not for me) more

I like Dr. Shipp because he not only gives great care, he gives great information. I always get a followup call either from the staff or from Dr. Shipp personally. Pros: Great care, Great information, Great communication more
