Sunset Animal Hospital

This is the WORST vet's office I have ever been to. It's never clean, there are rust stains everywhere, and the waiting room is so cramped I'd hate to see more than one pet in there at a time. Once you get into the actual exam room things only get worse. I took my dog here for his rabies vac and the vet tech accidentally shot half of it onto the floor!! Isn't giving shots covered on like day one of vet school?\r Then the vet himself came in. First of all, he kept referring to my dog as a Rottweiler, when he is clearly a Dobie mix. That worried me. My dog was limping really badly and clearly in pain. The vet looked at him for about two minutes before diagnosing him with a TORN ACL. He wanted to put my dog completely under to do x-rays and wanted to do SURGERY the very next day on BOTH knees- he had only hurt one! \r Luckily, I went straight to TLC for a second opinion. It turned out that my dog had no swelling AT ALL in his knee, and there was nothing to indicate a serious injury, let alone to warrant surgery!! TLC prescribed some medication and rest, and in two days my dog was totally recovered! I SHUDDER to think of the unnecessary pain and trauma (not to mention expense) I would have been subjecting my dog to if I listened to Dr. Kumar. Thank God I got a second opinion. \r I will NEVER trust my pet to this vet's office again. And if you love your animal, you shouldn?t either. STAY AWAY. \r Pros: There are none. Cons: Everything. Don't go here!! more

Was on a XCountry romp with my Lab. Went Mtn Biking (She had never been) and she developed paw problems. Dr. Kumar and his staff took very good care of her, charged a fair amount and relieved me of a good deal of my guilt.\r \r A friend of a friend (Local) recommended Sunset Animal Hospital to me and now I do the same for you! more

Dr. Kumar and his staff are great. My poor kitty developed kidney problems in his old age, stopped eating, lost a lot of weight. Dr. Kumar's diagnosis and treatment have made him right as rain. Kitty's back up to his normal weight and eats his special diet food every day. more

We've been taking our cat there for over 5 years and have always had good service. Our cat has had a few major medical problems and the vet was able to take care of our kitty very well. more

I found this place to be extremely unprofessional, the staff is unfriendly, the vet seems under qualified. I feel that it is my duty as someone who has pets and lives in Los Angeles to veer people away from having the worst vet experience of their lives. Save your pet and go somewhere else, even if it costs a few dollars more. more

this animal hospital takes great care of our pets. we have been there twice. it's expensive -- but no more expensive than any other pet medical care. they are very patient and understanding with the pets AND with the owners! more

Dr. Kumar is a great vet, he's been taking care of my dog for 8 years and I've recommended him over and over again. more
