As a child, Dr. Guenther was deeply impressed by her family's veterinarian and his ability to solve all their pets' medical problems. It inspired her so much that she knew she wanted to do the same thing! Her veterinary journey has led her all the way to her current position as a full-time Veterinarian and the Co-Owner of Blue Cross Veterinary Hospital.
We value our patients and clients, and we appreciate the role we get to play in your pet's health care. Whenever you see a special offer below, print it out and bring it on your next visit.

We are proud to provide Signal Hill, CA and surrounding communities with state-of-the-art veterinary surgical procedures. We believe in utilizing the highest level of medical technology, and our surgeons are experienced and highly trained. We also realize that it can be stressful to have your pet undergo surgery.
Your pet's heart is a muscle that has to work all day, every day. There are many diseases and abnormalities that can cause the heart to not pump as well as it should, which means that heart diseases can affect your pet all day, every day, dramatically affecting your pet's quality of life.

We offer screening tests for heart murmurs, congenital abnormalities, and cardiac diseases that show up later in life, as well as specific cardiac tests such as echocardiograms and electrocardiograms.An echocardiogram is an ultrasound of the heart, which allows your pet's veterinarian to measure how thick the heart's muscular walls are, how well the heart contracts, and how well the valves are working.

It couldn't have gone any better. Everything was explained and done thoroughly and very professionally. They have been my dog's vet for over 5 yrs.

Given our current health and safety restrictions, I think that my experience at BCVH was exceptional. Being able to interface with the staff and meet with Dr. Guenther in person made the difference for us. I have been taking my fur babies to see Dr. Guenther and Dr. Selman for 20 years. I am always pleased with the care the dogs receive in all stages of life.

The most important thing you want in a veterinary practice is that the people to care for your animals as if they belong to them. BCVH does that in a professional, caring manner. We've gone there for years & can't imagine being without their expertise.

I have been taking my pets to Blue Cross Veterinary for a few years now nd they have always been great. Dr. Guenther, who is the min vet that my dog sees now, is always very friendly, kind, and helpful with any of my pet's needs. Likewise, the support staff has always been amazing and great every time I take my pet in. Even though I am now not living in Long Beach, it is well worth the drive to take my dog to a quality vet that I like.

We’ve been bringing our cat Sebastian here for a few years now and we’ve always received clear, helpful information from a professional staff. Price-wise, value is solid but not exceptional—I’ve never felt ripped off, though. Be sure to download the app to get loyalty rewards, too.

During this pandemic services can be difficult pretty much everywhere, however, BCV put in place well organized service flows. They have minimal contact while the kiddos go into see the doctor. Communication conducted by phone. The doctor is just as interested and spends the time necessary to discuss concerns as they are in person. I don't feel like they are rushing me. They take good care of my girl!
