This is the best veterinary clinic that we have ever used. The front desk staff are led by Terry who is so kind and compassionate. During Covid I watched the doctor come out and gently lift an elderly dog from the car next to mine. The owners of the dog were worried and scared and he was so comforting to them and treated their dog like it was his own precious pet. At the same time, he was confident and reassuring to the owners. They did an immediate X-ray, diagnosed the issue, and the doctor personally came out giving a plan of action and continued to come out with updates. I have a seven year

My little lady; our best friend; our lovely dog was on deaths door this morning and after taking her to an ER vet Sunday and them doing nothingwe brought her to the Camino vet/her original vet the next day. Dr. Carlson and her staff took such great care of our baby girl who could have died. They brought her back to life and figured out what was wrong with her. Dr. Carlson did not stop until she knew what was wrong. She treated her quote on quote like her own dog. She saved my dogs life and we are so great full. FYI this was not the first time they have helped my pup. Each time has been

The staff was very friendly. They don't let you go in with your animal if you don't have the covid shot. I understand why. Parking is very tight right there. But they got us in so fast. The prisis was cheaper then I expected. I deffently will go their again.

I was fortunate to find Camino Animal Hospital when I moved to the area 3-1/2 years ago. There was a vet closer to my house, but I established with Camino because they were thoughtful, sensitive to my needs having 3 dogs, and the care has always been exceptional. They also helped me through a difficult time with one of my dogs. They were all so kind and compassionate while also providing excellent care. I highly recommend this office.

My dogs have gotten excellent care while at Camino Animal Hospital. My only complaint is that I would like to see it open back up so I can be with my dog when he/she is examined. I feel I am missing important information because communication is difficult.
