Horrible service and horrible office that charges an arm and a leg for nothing!
Dr Garrolini was rude and unprofessional, he was running late and was obviously frustrated. He practically suffocated our dog squeezing her face trying to make my daughter put a muzzle on her. Our dog has never worn a muzzle before and we have never had a problem. We have been taking our dogs there for years, and no mention of a muzzle has ever came up. So obviously this frustrated doctor just wanted to get this over with and get out of there. When they couldn’t get the muzzle on and my daughter started almost crying

Buckle up folks, have I got a review for you. I have really have to say , our situation from the beginning was odd, and it wouldn’t have surprised me if these guys had turned us away, or not been able to help, but Channel Island Vet Hospital (CIVH) really came through for us.
The situation begins about 7 months ago in Louisville, Kentucky. Our dog Uno suddenly developed a massive Gastrointestinal bleed with acute pancreatitis. We took him to the local emergency vet, and got him on track to what we thought was better. The problem was, this ended up being a recurring problem for 5 months. Every

DISHONEST AND IRRESPONSIBLE! DO NOT COME HERE!
I called this veterinary in order to find a doctor that could help our cat lose some weight. Young female on the phone assured me that our visit would (not cheap, mind you) include a physical evaluation for our obese cat plus a diet program so we could get him back in shape. .
When my sister picked up our cat from this place, she asked the people working here where the diet/eating program was. She thought the doctor would print it out for us.
The staff replied with a sassy: "oh, you can that info anywhere online. Bye"
My sister paid them without

Ridiculously expensive, weak communications and extremely defensive. No thank you.
I’ve been searching for an honest, affordable, caring Veterinarian since moving from Colorado 3 years ago.
The technicians (I’ve dealt with) are definitely caring and kind. The office as a whole has one thing on their agenda which is to make money. I, like many animal lovers and owners, want only the best for my dog.
Before you spend your money here please demand an estimate prior to them servicing your pet. Ask questions and demand a response.
I’m now searching for another Veterinarian. Do I need to return

Everyone was so kind and patient with my very hectic and worried dog owner. I came in with my female pit who was bleeding out from a uterus infection, I looked around and went to many different veterinary. I didn’t find any that were available or as kind and open into taking my baby in. They are great at communicating and giving calls to update. Defiantly recommending them to everyone! Loved it there and definitely do NOT regret it!

IF YOU TAKE YOUR PET HERE MORE THAN ONCE, YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOUR SELF FOR YOUR INCOMPETENCY TO CARE FOR YOUR ANIMAL!!
Just read the reviews here, the only people satisfied with the work that this place does are the people who have gone for a standard check-up and no real issue with their pet. If you take your pet here in a medical emergency or a serious issue, I can all but guarantee that you will not receive any level of service that can be deemed professional.
The lead veterinarian is a complete hack. Without getting in to too much detail I can tell you that he completely misdiagnosed

These people do not care about your animal. You can tell the staff are forced by their owner to oversell their services just so the owner can make a lot of money. The owner is a scammer!!! They wanted us to spend over $500 on pointless medication and tests when all our dog needed was a $40 bottle of antibiotic drops. They did the same thing to us at their sister store in Camarillo (Los Posas Veterinary Medical Center off of Daily drive). Please try to take your animal to a reputable veterinarian center if you can. The owner of these two sites a scumbag who tries to take advantage of people who

I don't normally post reviews, but seeing so many bad ones i feel the need to say that for the last 6+ years Channel Islands Veterinary Hospital has really been fantastic. Same day appointments have never been an issue for our emergencies and they are always calm and kind when dealing with my fur babies. YES Veterinary care is expensive... NO the services are not free... but quality care for your furry family members is worth the cost.
Thanks for all you do for our furbabies!

Very surprised to see a few negative reviews. Been to multiple Vets/Animal hospitals in the country the the years. Could not have been happier with the with the staff and treatment during a very difficult emergency visit. Was not inexpensive but was inline or better than recent visits we have made to other hospitals. Have had bad experiences with vets myself. Glad they made room for us during an emergency, treatment and compassion have earned them our future business.
