El Cerrito Pet Hospital

We entered the small waiting room with two cats (in separate carriers) and were greeted by a large dog barking like mad. The dog's owner could not calm him and there was no place for either party to go. So we turned around and left.

Most pets find it traumatic to go to the vet. Mixing cats and dogs makes it much worse (at least for cats). If you've got a cat, call before going here. With any luck, they will fix this problem.

I thought these boarding facilities were good. I boarded my dog over Christmas and was able to get a spot for her within 3 weeks of the holidays. I was impressed by the runs available. They are very large (like small rooms) and lifted off the ground. Water, food, and bedding was provided. They also took my personal food for her and fed her that instead of their own. I was impressed with the visual aspects of a small, old looking clinic. The staff was not professional looking either, but seemed nice.

Professional and quality pet care I was seeking I found at El Cerrito Pet Hospital. I take my dog to his appointments hree and the staff is so caring and compassionate about the animals that are brought here. The Dr explains everything he did and makes appropriate supervisions. Great people to deal with.

I am a petsitter/dogwalker and I have had to take my client's pets there and the gentleman that helped me was wonderful. He was very helpful and he was great in his diagnosing. He didn't try to over charge knowing that the pet was not mine. He really did have to puppy's best interest at heart.

PROS: very caring
CONS: didn't find any

I've been taking Kylie (the dog) there now for 2.5 years. He's a very caring veterinarian, whos diagnoses have been right on the mark.

They do quite a bit of work with rescue organizations (eg., Smiley Dog) which is how I ended up going to him rather than the many doctors who are closer. I find him to he affordable, and usually I can get in to see him without a week-in-advance appointment.

Located across from McDonalds on the east side of San Pablo. (Portrero Exit from 80-E, near the Richmond border).

PROS: Caring, honest, affordable
CONS:
