Canyon Animal Hospital

After getting news from Dr. Scanlon, a vet at another practice, that my dog had a rare disease and would require accupuncture for the rest of his life. I got a second opinion with Canyon Animal Hopsital who diagnosed my dog with a simple anal gland infection that was cleared up in about a week. They are common sense and get to the source of the issue. They aren't one of those groups that charges you an arm and a leg.

I agree! They have been my vets for 20 years or more. Dr. Hamil is very intelligent, interested, compassionate. He discusses what's wrong simply and logically. He is a good diagnostician, and a good surgeon. Good support staff, too. He is involved in the AKC worlds, but he and his wife are also very involved with animal welfare and rescue. They are just wonderful!

Truly a wonderful doctor -- GREAT listener; GREAT communicator; LOVES pets and they love HIM; NEVER rushes visit; includes YOU in decision-making process; AKC-affiliated; breeder of World Class Champion Bloodhounds. Not the least expensive, but one of the FEW vets I trust with my best friends, when it comes to anything more serious than routine vaccinations. Conveniently located next door to Laguna Beach Dog Park.

PROS: Professional, excellent-communicator, world class dog breeder
CONS: pricey
