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. ★★★★★ Awesome prompt service. We called same day and were able to be seen bc our kitty was very sick. They texted and emailed 2 days later to check on the status of our cat. Thank you guys.andrea R.andrea R. ★★★★★ Kind, caring doctors. Efficient front office.Susan M.Susan M. ★★★★★ Vet's are always super expensive but I did appreciate that the doctor was very clear in communicating with me and breaking down the necessary steps to to see what is happening with my dog, the only complain I have, is that I was told that I was going to get a call on Monday with blood test results and is Wednesday and I have not gotten a call. Will try again tomorrow, and I did call on Monday and was told someone else was going to call me because the doctor that saw my dog was not there, other than that, the place is clean and have AC which is good for my pug so he won't get too hot.PugsforlifePugsforlife ★★★★★ Every time I take Alfie in he is well cared for by EVERY staff member. This matters a great deal to me as he is my child without a voice. Every member of your staff demonstrates care & compassion to my Alfie. It’s why I drive 32 miles to take him to your clinic. Thank you to everyone at Animal Hospital of South Bay for caring for my Alfie like I do. I love you guys ❤️Leticia V.Leticia V. ★★★★★ Great people, only a 10 minute wait. Very good all around.C K.C K. ★★★★★ I love this vet office! Have been bringing my dogs here since 2010. Dr Walker is my favorite, but everyone at this office is great, including the vet techs and office staff. I live in Lawndale now, and I make the drive over to keep bring my pets.Angela D.Angela D. ★★★★★ 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. ★★★★★ If you get a puppy do yourself a favor and come to this place!! Get the puppy plan! It’s 100 percent worth it. Staff is very professional and friendly. Ruby my puppy gets scared but they always get her to calm.Angel V.Angel V. ★★★★★ Wonderful staff and doctors!

Staff members are friendly and helpful.Nathan S.Nathan S. ★★★★★ Friendly, efficient and explained everything clearly. I feel my pets are loved here.Guillermo R.Guillermo R. ★★★★★ Dr. A has been the most helpful and amazing vet I have ever met. Every appointment my dog has had he’s been very good! He saved my girl! I’m terrified with any little change I see in my dog now after the whole situation she was in BUT he reassured me this last visit she’s fine just allergies and definitely I can tell my dog is sensitive to many things! Overall, he’s a great vet and there’s a nurse there too that’s she’s been amazing with my girl I just never get her name.

I highly recommend you taking your fur babies for their care!Jo Dee L.Jo Dee L. ★★★★★ It’s important to trust your vet ,we recently brought our 22 month old golden retriever in for a pre natal exam . Dr Marchan has been our vet before he opened this hospital. Unfortunately X-rays of our girls hips showed mild hip disease and Dr. Marchan suggested that we do not breed her. We were crushed with this news yet have enough trust in Dr. Marchan to follow his advice. Sometimes the truth hurts . We then proceeded to trust Dr. Marchan to spay her. He fit her into his busy schedule and did a fantastic job . It broke our heart to fix her but we believe that it was for the best. Thank you Dr. Marchan for taking such great care of Grace E. and all of our animals. The office staff is very caring and efficient as well.Greg and Angie GribbinWell two years later we still love bringing our dogs to see Dr. Marchan . 6 months Evy , 10-1/2 years Cooper (Dr. Marchan’s first dog patient at South Bay hospital) and 4 year old Gracie.

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.

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. I have always left with a clear feeling that they provide great care and always with a very positive demeanor. I love this placeJohn S.John S. ★★★★★ Great place, everyone makes you feel like family.Patricia D.Patricia D. ★★★★★ This is hands down the best vet clinic in South Bay. The team and Dr’s here have always gone out of their way to help out all my babies (cats and dogs) when we need it the most. I can’t say enough about their friendliness, professionalism, and all-around concern during times of stress when the babies get sick or injured.Both the staff and medical care team are absolutely amazing and helpful.

I love how the office always calls to check up on how their patients are doing after an exam.Melissa R.Melissa R. ★★★★★ Literally best veterinarian hospital to bring your pets to special thanks to staff and especially Dr. Gilman for taking good care of my reptile 🦎DreDre ★★★★★ They provided great care for my senior aged dog. We love them dearly and will continue to use and recommend their services. Totally professional and excellent workers throughout the vet. Can't say enough good things about them.Ron K.Ron K. ★★★★★ Wonderful friendly staff and crew who truly care about the animals!Suzie A.Suzie A. ★★★★★ Moved from NY to CA almost 2 years ago and had to find a new vet. 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. ★★★★★ 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're the best!Suzan L.Suzan L. ★★★★★ Guinea pig care - phenomenal! They are there for the fur babies and I cannot express my appreciation for their dedication. I have been calling places for 2 days, got an appt with this place and based on his symptoms, they called me back and got us in as an urgent care appt. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!Jackie R.Jackie R. ★★★★★ Great caring doctors and staff, good follow up post opIngrid A.Ingrid A. ★★★★★ Kind staff who won't try to rip you off. 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. ★★★★☆ GoodLuz K.Luz K. ★★★★☆ They take excellent care of my puppy!nick A.nick A.js_loader

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.
