Believe all the bad reviews. The vets don't put any effort into trying to help your pet feel comfortable in their already super crappy uncomfortable office. The vet techs were really the only ones who actually looked like they liked dogs. Anyway the doctors insisted on sedating my dog to look at her even though I told them they just need to spend a couple minutes with her and she'll be fine. They were terrified of my dog and on the phone they assured me, they are very knowledgeable of how to deal with dogs who are scared or skiddish from being at the vet.

I paid $900 on some pain meds

My cat was diagnosed with kidney disease at Sun Valley after it being missed by our former vet, who never took kidney tests after noticing his weight loss beginning. The assistants are all so nice to him and gentle when giving him the subcutaneous fluid shots. They take necessary tests every so often but not excessively just to charge us an exhorbitant amount.
The doctors explain each test and what it indicates about our cat's progress or decline.
It is a friendly place, too, where the clients all seem to feel their pet is in good hands.

We have taken our dog here since he was a puppy but our last few visits with SVAH have not been great.
They have messed up my dog's vaccinations twice now on 2 different visits. They would give my dog a shot that is not scheduled and months earlier than needed. Good thing I check the invoice otherwise I wouldn't even know. Money isn't even the issue, but my dog's safety. No one even bothered to confirm with me what we are doing each visit. Everyone seems to be in a rush. If someone just cross checked records these mistakes could have been avoided.
My dog is also on edge everytime

I am beyond grateful for Dr. Sunsil Sharma, who helped with saving my cats life. we brought her in because she had blood in her bowel movement. He checked her, and noticed something hard in her stomach; within hours he was able get her an appointment for surgery. Not only did he save her by removing the objects out of her stomach within hours, but he fixed her so she wouldn’t go thorough another surgery. There is no doubt in my mind that Sun Valley animal hospital has the best intentions for your pet. They also have amazing service! Great place to take your pet with trust!!

I'm shocked by all the rave reviews. A dingy place. Everyone there, from the front desk staff to the medical assistant to the vet come across very unprofessionally. Like a fly by night. The place was empty and they still took 15 minutes to process us. It seems all they care about is your money. After registering us they then spent a good 15-20 minutes trying to sell me plans and services before treating my pet. The vet would not enter until I chose a plan. I felt like I was in a car dealership. Just disgusting. The vet tech doesn't even know how to handle an animal. The vet

We are so thankful that they were able to squeeze our doggo in this morning when we discovered a gnarly cut on his foot this morning. They were so accommodating, friendly, and stress free. We did have to come back after a couple hours for his procedure, but I am grateful that we were able to get in and not have to go to the Emergency vet. Thank you so much to the doctor (I didn't get his name!) and all of the wonderful staff. They aren't our regular vet, but definitely will be returning for non emergencies!

Disappointed at the lack of customer service and compassion towards my pet & I with the front staff/vet techs. This is the 2nd negative experience I’ve had with this place. First time I made an appointment ahead of time. I get there in the rain on time and they make me wait outside of the entrance with my cat in her crate for a good 20 minutes. We don’t get to go inside and I didn’t get to go inside to the vet room with my cat during the check up. The veterinarian came and talked to me outside once the check up was complete. Uncomfortable experience.
2nd time, I make an appointment and arrive

Dr. Garg and her staff are simply amazing. They have been taking care of our kitties for many years and recently, has gone above and beyond. We had an emergency which quickly went from bad to worst in matter of days. Dr. Garg quickly outlined a plan, took the time to explain the pros and cons, listened to our concerns and advised us every step. Most importantly, our beloved kitty was treated with love and kindness. The front desk staff are kind, courteous, available to answer all questions and are always great about calling post-appointments to check in. Thank you, Dr. Garg, for your compassionate

Taking my dog here turned out to be one of the biggest mistakes I've ever made. Both veterinarians played a roll in the death of my dog. I brought my dog Lucky here for the first time during Covid. We couldn't go inside at the time. We saw Dr Sharma and had a positive experience and we were happy we found a good veterinarian for him. This experience was the complete opposite and turned out to be a nightmare. He was seen for a dental issue by Dr Sharma on 10/26. He prescribed an antibiotic and gave my dog an allergy shot. He insisted my dog had allergies because he licked his paws and

Dr. Sharma and Dr. Garg are inept and liable to cause significant harm to the domestic animals in the community. Over the past 3 months, I have experienced subpar care in 3 different incidents with 3 different of my animals. The experience I had this week is enough for me to notice the danger to our community. What I once believed was a good vet clinic has had a significant decline in quality of care, professionalism, and bedside manner. The receptionists and most of the technicians are kind, helpful people. There is a direct correlation between the ongoing high turnover in support staff and a

My Grandson tooK our Lab to the vet. We felt she had a UTI. The Dr who took care of her wanted to do $400 worth of X-rays in case of stones. I said no we would go to our vet at Montecito. They did not give her medicine for her UTI.
WHAT A RIP!! We paid for an office visit for nothing. I won't be going back there.

I truly wish there was a 0 star option. This place is a scam. The male veterinarian in there clearly only cares about money and not your animals. I took my dog for a check up because she's been having some stomach issues. The vet gave no feedback on anything and just kept trying to sale us on different medications and different procedures without even really knowing what he was talking about. Every time I've come here I end up getting tacked on different vaccines and fees that were never disclosed. Maybe it's because they need to pay the 10 assistants they have working? The vet has

I found this facility through a friend and I'm so glad I did! They are so kind to my little old man doggie. When I walk in, they try to comfort his nerves and when they walk in the exam room, he's the first one they greet! And their charges are very reasonable.

We called Sun Valley after experiencing our fur baby, Taz , throwing up, coughing, but was still very active.

We were referred to Sun Valley after I got very, very upset with our vet we've used the past 11 years. The staff that received my call was so very sweet, showed concern, and made me an appointment for the very next day. I had all documents faxed to Sun Valley and was there on the desk awaiting or us the next evening in a file.

Immediately, we were greeted so professionally, met Dr. Sharma , he was perfect! Taz was so comfortable, which is VERY important, they took excellent care

We really love this place! Recently moved to the concord area and this was one of the only places with open appointments so we thought let's give it a try!
Likes: comfortable availability for dates and hours.
Friendly staff at the desk and behind closed doors.
The vet tech is professional and comforting to pets.
The vet is awesome and sweet to pets as well. Understanding of the needs.
My favorite part is the price and that I always receive a call the next day to see if my pet is okay. Also you get email reminder about next appointment which helps greatly as well.

I'm changing my previous review. Dr. Garg is back and she's the best vet I've had for my pups ever! She is kind, caring, listens to your concerns and makes effort to make your pet comfortable.

Beware the male vet who works here though. He prescribed antibiotics for my dog's canine papilloma virus, TWICE. Which is a viral infection that heals and goes away on its own.

If you're coming here please request one of the two female vets. Beware, beware, beware the male.

Nahh....Drug dealers will offer you better service and prices than this place. They tried charging me $800 for spaying my small chihuaha pup and added 193628 different procedures onto the receipt too. $60 to cut her nails???
Plus they take hella long to come out and check you in.
I can probably use $860 to pay for a vet class program and i can be certified and take their job within months.

I've been going to this place for over year and I've never had any issues with my visits. I don't have the easiest dog in the world to handle but every time I've came I've always felt welcomed and not judged. The customer service is great and scheduling an appointment is super easy whether if it's through their website or calling in. I bring in my dog every month (or every other month) to get his nails trim and it's such an easy process. They have great COVID protocols and they're really good at communicating (they send out emails or text notifications regarding

If you read my previous review, I had a comment on how we paid more than $600 for my dog's neutering surgery. The manager that called countered with the following statements:
"You were supposed to get a rebate on the Metcam (medicine) and there was supposed to be a $100 discount, but since I wasn't there I couldn't check if this was given"

Send your animals here if you do not care about their well being. For years, I sent my 3 dogs to this vet and the service was ok. Recently, their service has gotten so bad that their negligence killed my dog. That's right, they killed my dog. If you're interested in hearing how it happened, please pm me. Even after years of receiving sub par service, I never left a bad review. However, their negligence needs to be known so dog owners can make an informed decision.

I asked him why this much he said because of the blood tests "that we did NOT ask for" I said ok fine where is the results, he said oooh sorry my machine is broken...!!!!

They have taken care of my 2 pups that are now 2 1/2 years old since I got them when they were weaned. They've taken care of the parents as well. The employees take the effort to make it as pleasant as possible so the dogs don't mind going in for a visit. I've had other experiences in the past and this is a big plus!

Sun Valley Animal Hospital is the best place to take your dog for cat for routine veterinarian care. The staff is professional, kind, compassionate and gentle. My adorable Alfie is now 7 years old and has been receiving vaccinations, health wellness exams and his flea & tick medication and his Heartgard monthly treatments. I highly recommend Sun Valley Animal Hospital with affordable and ethical pricing.
