She was in and out so fast.Debbie S.Debbie S. ★★★★★ Best staff, great doctors, always clean. Just the fact they love my animals & treat them with care. Really appreciate all that they do.Gregory L.Gregory L. ★★★★★ We’ve recommended a few people now. We have two boys that go see Dr. A. I feel more educated with each visit! He shows and explains what’s happening. He responds faster than the time we are given. I truly believe he cares for the pets and people he helps. He’s never pressured us into doing anything we weren’t okay with. He’s never forced us into medication we didn’t trust. Thank you Dr. A! Max thanks you too. Then there is the front staff… So nice! All of them are usually smiling, conversational, and follow through with their call back promises. We have absolutely zero complaints from the past few years and hope that continues for many more years to come!!!Matt Van P.Matt Van P. ★★★★★ I am a new chicken mom. One of our hens got hurt and they took excellent care of her. Knowledgeable and I learned a few things along the way. EXCELLENT place!Joy M.Joy M. ★★★★★ Excellent service and transparency when working with staff!Kyle T.Kyle T. ★★★★★ The team here is incredible and has helped our dogs through multiple surgeries and procedures. Can’t recommend enough!Kendall P.Kendall P. ★★★★★ It is hard to overstate how compassionate, kind, and thoughtful this entire office is. Everyone from the front desk to the doctors are extremely professional and compassionate.Rebecca A.Rebecca A. ★★★★★ Dr. A (Andrew Arriola) and the whole staff at Animal Hospital of South Bay is wonderful. I brought my dog, Sophie, a 7 year old maltese-shih tzu, here after leaving my previous vet, just for a routine checkup as well as to observe a cough she had developed. He diagnosed her that day with heart disease which was obviously a shock as she had been nothing but healthy according to our previous vet. He took X-rays and showed us everything and walked us through it all.As a puppy, we were told by our previous vet that she had a heart murmur but to bring her in every 6 months for a check up so they could continue to keep an eye on it. We thought they were monitoring it but according to Dr. A, they were not. This was extremely jarring to hear but Dr. A was very reassuring that with proper medication (that we started immediately) and seeking a cardiologist, we could delay her heart failure. Throughout this whole process Dr. A understood our surprise, sadness, and frustrations and did an amazing job at educating and comforting me and my family.After following the proper protocol and doing everything we could for Sophie to ensure she was comfortable, we unfortunately made the decision to euthanize and, when we did, Dr. A and his staff were extremely supportive. After her passing, we received a card signed by all the staff members which meant a lot. Although we lost Sophie, Dr. A was able to buy us invaluable time with her that we wouldn't have gotten had we never gone to him and stayed at our previous vet -- grateful doesn't even begin to cover it.Amanda P.Amanda P. ★★★★★ Friendly, helpful and professional staff. Have been bringing our pets here for over 15 years.Martin - Darchangel - RMartin - Darchangel - R ★★★★★ Great staff, can get you in when you need to, and extremely pleasant when you are there.justin M.justin M. ★★★★★ My family has taken our pets here for the last fifteen years.

Thank you guys so much!Simone R.Simone R. ★★★★★ Best vetNorma S.Norma S. ★★★★★ Great place, everyone makes you feel like family.Patricia D.Patricia D. ★★★★★ (Year or so later) Update: Well my boy got another ear infection , so we were back at the vets.I am truly grateful for Animal Hospital of Southbay. They really care about my boy and his well being, and aren’t just after your money. If anyone is looking for a GENUINE vet, one that TRULY CARES about you & your fur baby.. I cannot RECOMMEND ANIMAL HOSPITAL SOUTHBAY ENOUGH!!! Honestly one of THE BEST vets I’ve ever been to.Recently switched here from another Animal hospital and I’m far more satisfied with the level of care I received here than anywhere else I’ve gone. I was at another location when My sweet boy had an ear infection and was very protective and would only let certain people touch him or he growled. Needless to say they wanted to give him something to make him sleep while they checked his ears. Here at Southbay they let me be in the room , hold him and comfort him to assure him and everything went well. No need to put him to sleep. I’ll definitely be returning and HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE! 🤩👍🏼Rachel O.Rachel O. ★★★★★ Booking an appointment was quick and easy, which was a huge relief given our dog's urgent need. The front desk staff was friendly and Dr. A, who attended to our dog demonstrated commendable knowledge and professionalism.Ro I.Ro I. ★★★★★ After a pit bull attacked Daisy's throat she needed immediate attention, what we received the moment we arrived at the office. Daisy was scheduled immediately for surgery and I received text message, when the surgery was successfully completed and let me know, when I could pick her up. I received detailed after care instructions verbally in the office and in writing. It looks like Daisy will be recover fully. Thank you for the great care. P.S. Thank you for emotionally taking care of me as well.NoraNora ★★★★★ We were extremely pleased with everything! Got us in early morning the same day we called. Office staff and assistants were all very welcoming and efficient. Dr. Gonzalez seemed very caring and thoroughly discussed everything with us. We never felt rushed or pressured in any way. Thank you everyone so much for your caring and services.Ladeene B.Ladeene B. ★★★★★ Extremely happy with the Animal Hospital of South Bay for all my pets over the years. Thank you for always caring for my furry family members!Guy Miracle Sotheby's R.Guy Miracle Sotheby's R. ★★★★★ This hospital/vet clinic took in my kitty who needed several surgeries as a result of an accident. We were not previous clients but they found time to treat her and do surgery asap. The staff, techs, and doctors are all wonderful and she is home, on the mend. I am so grateful to find a vet who still has all services. So many do not do surgeries or have boarding any longer. This hospital is my new go to for all of my animals!Marilee G.Marilee G. ★★★★★ This is the only place I will board my cat, Sylvester. When he comes back home it's so obvious that he received love and attention, he is calm and happy!Debbie Miller M.Debbie Miller M. ★★★★★ Dr. Marchan, and his entire staff were very supportive and diligent with my furbaby Lucie, she needed surgery, and had surgery under their care and I could not be more than thankful for "saving her life". Truly after her surgery Lucie is a new and health baby, and I will be forever thankful to them.Rita E.Rita E. ★★★★★ Dr. Andrew and his team are incredible! Our dog, Ritchie, was suffering from severe allergies and had developed a huge wound on his belly. Dr. Andrew provided a thorough diagnosis, answered all our questions with patience and clarity, and guided us through Ritchie's treatment. Thanks to his expertise and the exceptional care from the entire team, Ritchie has healed beautifully. We are so grateful for the VIP treatment and the compassion shown to Ritchie. Thank you, Dr. Andrew, and your amazing team for taking such great care!Vinny -Vinny - ★★★★★ Great Veterinarian Clinic! My dog and I are a big fans of the staff and the service! Love them!Alexandra P.Alexandra P. ★★★★★ The staff is friendly they all really love your pet.Aileen A.Aileen A. ★★★★★ This place was recommended by a friend who takes her cats here. We brought in our dog Prince & Dr. A is everything you could want for a vet. He was very honest and straight to the point, had plenty of recommendations & what my husband valued most is that he showed us exactly what was happening with our dog rather than just telling us a theory & how honest Dr. A is. We will be back , my husband is asking me to change prince & reina over to this vets office instead of our current one. All staff was friendly & very helpful !Dominique C.Dominique C. ★★★★★ I cannot speak highly enough about this vet practice. Great communication, incredible and caring staff-from the folks who answer the phone, to the techs and the vets. I feel so fortunate that my two Goldens are cared for by this incredible team. When something really terrible/scary happens, like your almost 1 year old puppy needs emergency surgery to save his life, you see a vet's true mettle. Kindness all the way around, and such a great outcome. I cannot recommend them enough!Betsy J.Betsy J. ★★★★★ This place is very good with our fur babies. They took really good care of both of our petHilda H.Hilda H. ★★★★★ Wonderful staff, and super helpful. Been bringing all our pets here for years.karen H.karen H. ★★★★★ Every time I take Alfie in he is well cared for by EVERY staff member.

He was able to start antibiotics and pain medication right away for an anal gland infection. No more bloody drainage, and he's much more comfortable. Back to destroying toys with his brothers.

I'd had my vet in NY for over 30 years and this was very difficult to look for a new vet. Looking for a vet not just any vet for your pet is very emotional. I have to say I googled vets in my area and just decided to try Animal Hospital of South Bay Rolling Hills and I was very fortunate as they are wonderful and very caring ❤. In my opinion they are the best and treat your pet as if it was their own. They always give options as what needs to be done or what can wait as they are understanding of finances. That is very rare. I'm very happy with them and so is my dog Miller 🐕christine D.christine D. ★★★★★ Took my cat Halo and dog CeeCee and got caring and wonderful service better then all the others so nice to have a vet I can count onGeorge H.George H. ★★★★★ I feel very safe bringing my Zoe there, everyone is so kind and gentle with the animals, it’s a pleasant place to be.Tamara P.Tamara P. ★★★★★ Extremely nice and very helpful staff, very clean facility.

They really care!Urk H.Urk H. ★★★★★ I started doing homeless outreach about 10 years ago and had the biggest support from Dr. Mike at WVG. When he passed I was lost but thankfully his friends at Animal hospital of South Bay have stepped up over the years and have helped me. They are always squeezing us in for appointments, working with homeless folks isn’t always easy and they are very patient with my people and always try to give us realistic options. I also started taking my personal dogs there and have had nothing but great service. Dana and Michelle will always have a special in my heart for always going out of there way to help me and my tribe. Dr. Walker has been so great too and I’m looking forward to working with her.Melissa L.Melissa L. ★★★★★ I trust this vet more than any vet I’ve ever been to.

She will definitely be my dog’s vet.Alma C.Alma C. ★★★★★ After taking my dog to multiple vets and receiving several incorrect diagnosis that lead to unnecessary suffering - Dr. Kranz was able to figure the underlying cause immediately. Just as important - she took the time to call and discuss the situation and to answer my questions. I'll be taking my pets to Animal Hospital of South Bay going forward.Ron B.Ron B. ★★★★★ I'm so happy we found this vetenarian office, we have a dog with serious issues and just recently moved . Its always scary to start out from scratch. But the transition was easy because the staff is so polite and helpful and the vetenarian even calls us after hours to make sure we get the positive results before the holidays and wouldn't have to worry!

The team at KVC has taken such amazing care of our puppy, Cooper! He has a lot of anxiety when it comes to the vet’s office, but Dr. Paul and his team are always so patient with him. They always do their best to make sure that he’s not uncomfortable or scared. Can’t tell you how awesome it is to see the vet and vet techs are willing to just sit on the floor and wait for him to approach them on his own time! They also give us ways to try to make the experience more comfortable and less stressful for him.Looking forward to many more years of Cooper seeing his friends at KVC.

Chelsea S.

The staff here are amazing!! I have taken my cat there for medical issues in the past. I still take my dog there. I had to put my cat down on Monday, the staff from Kronenwetter vet were so kind and thoughtful to send me a wonderful card. Even though they were not the ones to send her off.

Jessica G.

We have an 1 year old English Setter with allergies. I’ve tried other vets, the visits were short and felt very impersonal. Dr.Paul listened and asked questions! When Dr.Paul entered the room he knelt down to my dog and made her feel comfortable, which spoke volumes to me! He examined her and continued to pet her the entire time we were there! I can’t say enough about our visit! If you want a vet who listens and answers all your questions I recommend Dr.paul and staff!

Britany C.

Since relocating to the Kronenwetter area from the Twin Cities we needed to find a Vet Clinic for our fur family. We have been here almost a year now and are very happy with the care we have received at Kronenwetter Veterinary Care. We would recommend them to everyone.

Kent G.

I have been going to Kronenwetter Vet Since they opened and I was a child. My parents brought my pets here when I was a kid and I have done the same with my pets as an adult. You couldn’t find a better place to care for your furry kids. If you live close enough to bring them here I highly suggest you do.

Meeko

We love Kronenwetter Vet, from the receptionists to the vet techs to the vets, everyone treats us and our dogs like family! Couldn’t be happier with the service and care received. Dr. Lisa and Dr. Chris have been a huge part of our dogs lives.
