Bloomfield Animal Hospital
There's a place on Norwalk Boulevard that can help you with all of your pets' needs! Bloomfield Animal Hospital has been operating in Lakewood since 2011. Through years of caring for their pet patients, Dr. Arambulo and the staff at Bloomfield noticed that some of their clients were unable to tell the difference between serious health situations and lesser problems with their pets.

They agreed that a free seminar covering these topics would be helpful to animal lovers in Lakewood. Another concern was that many didn't have first aid kits or emergency preparedness kits for their pets. People barely think about their own disaster kits, let alone their pet's disaster kits, and then when the action starts happening, they're going to need to have a disaster kit in place.
Services
You can either pre-pay at our hospital in-person or you can also access the website to order your pet's prescriptions. Every medication and product listed at Our Pets RX is guaranteed by the manufacturer, as opposed to other online pharmacies. We are excited to let you know that we perform advanced surgeries and are able to accommodate soft tissue and orthopedic surgeries on-site!
Okay, we're here at the Bloomfield Animal Hospital to hear how bringing your pet to the vet doesn't have to be a scary process. I'm here with Dr. A, Dr. A, thanks so much for joining us today. Oh you're welcome. My pleasure! Dr. Jose Arambulo, owner. So tell us, I'm a new client, I'm scared to bring my cat or dog in.

This place is no good, period. Over-priced, over-prescribed, and over-rated at one star (cannot give zero stars). Took our dog in on Friday -- they charged a total of $672 for NOTHING. We had to put our dog down this morning (Sunday). First off, the $55 "comprehensive exam" was anything but... Dr. A did not give us any concrete diagnosis. If he did examine her, he would have seen the large lesion on her tongue that was preventing her from swallowing any food or water. We first learned of the lesion from the vet who euthanized her this morning. Dr. A completely missed it, so he

For regular vet visits, this is the place! I used to take my pets to a large hospital for regular visits and I was always disappointed. I like this place because it's a small practice, they get to know you and your pets, and they are on time! I also really like how they give back to the community.

HORRIBLE! He killed my dog - who was healthy before seeing him. This vet not only heard my concerns for weeks (and charged me thousands to do nothing), but ended up killing my dog because he wasn't capable of treating her. PLEASE do not go here.

I took my 10 yr old senior akita for having fallen down the steps. Turns out something much bigger is going on and I wouldn't have known if not for this place. I don't even want to say to word because I'm still hanging on to the hope that we can save him, but it regards the "big C". I'm not giving up and i can tell they are ready to support me all the way. It made me feel so much better. They have been so kind and compassionate, especially when I broke down in the hospital. I will never bring my dog anywhere else. I just wish I had found them sooner. If you have a BIG dog...bring him there. Don

I was referred to Bloomfield by my regular vet for my cats dental work. They were very professional and caring towards my 10 year old cat. The doctor and staff were very attentive and took the time to explain what was going to be done and the after care needed for her. They even called a couple of times after she was home just to follow up on how she was doing. I would definitely switch vets if we lived closer.

COMPLETE RIP OFF!!
I am so distraught! My husband just returned from taking our dog to Bloomfield animal Hospital.
They charged us over 400$ for the visit. 55$ for the exam and over 350$ in medication. My husband isn't the type to question a bill, so he just trusted and paid. SO sad that during such tough times a vet would rip off and OVER CHARGE a caring dog owner.
I am going to post everywhere I can in order to warn others of this money hungry, incompetent veterinarians office. SHAME on them!!!!!

Ive been meaning to write a review for this vet clinic for sometime now so here I go! This is the BEST vet clinic I have ever been to!!! The staff are all very nice, they are knowledgeable, caring, very very sweet, and responsive. I had just gotten two kittens and have had them for over a year now. Sadly 1 kitten I adopted came with several health issues in the beginning and as a first time cat parent I wasn't to sure what was going on. I called this clinic and made several appointments over the year of 2020-2021 and I honestly felt like I called so much that I bugged them alot which maybe I did

Outside is nicely kept, inside was nice but haven't been inside in over a year due to CoViD.

We love the service here at Bloomfield Animal Hospital! Dr. Arambulo is an amazing vet, who is very knowledgeable and always helps guides us in making the correct decision for our dog. He has been caring for our dog for years now and every experience has been great! Pricing is fair since he always goes beyond & checks everything and not only the problem we may come in for to help prevent any future problems, which we appreciate very much! Even during this pandemic, the appointment process has taken all precautions and is very efficient. We feel very safe leaving our dog in the hands of the

We were recommended by our regular vet to Bloomfield Hospital for specialty surgery. Our cat who is geriatric needed teeth extractions. Putting a cat the age of our son under anesthesia is complicated as older cats sometimes do not wake up. Bloomfield Hospital took every procation necessary to insure his safety. The entire time our son was seen by Bloomfield Hospital the staff was professional and very nice. Dr. A was excellent and explained everything thoroughly. We are very happy we were recommended to see Dr. A for the procedure. It was clear they take great care of their patients and we would

Good morning and God our father bless you all especially in this pandemic that we have all been together since I started but the most important thing is that we have our loved ones safe at home, including our sweet pets no matter what it is, just take a time to be by their side and telling them how much you love having you in my life because without you my life would not be easy every morning when I wake up the first thing my eyes look at my sweet heart Estrella she always waits for me to have breakfast together before I go to my duties then she walks me to the door shortly after hearing a wow

Too much to type out. This place does not have animal Heath as it's priority. Their focus is on making money. My dog has been since off and on ever since they told me to stop feeding her Blue Buffalo. Dr. A is an armature Practioner. My dog was having diarrhea, he thought it could be viral or bacterial, he suggested anti-diarrhea meds. Instead I told him, he needs to take a stool sample to test if he suspect microbs. Then we find give meds. Why stop her from passing the microbs and just clog her up with them.

She's been producing frothy vomiting episodically, as a result of him

This place really took care of my pupper. When I got pops I noticed he had some dental issues and called right away I also knew he needed his shots. I could tell it's been a long time since he was seen. After taking him for his shots we realized he had periodontal disease and needed some teeth extractions. Pops actually had 16 teeth extracted yesterday and he's already doing so well today. he's a little playful he has an appetite and he's drinking water. The nurses were very patient and understanding and worked with my schedule. Pops's dr never hesitated to call me and

Blown away by our first experience here and superb customer service from the staff, especially *Hannah*
Brought my 3 month old Doberman for vaccines.

From the first phone call setting up the appointment up until the very end was a pleasant experience. Hannah was very personable, sweet and fun to talk to, she made our experience memorable.

As a first time patient she gave my puppy a goody bag =) which included a Kong toy, puppy food, and useful informational pamphlets.

Thank you Hannah for your exceptional customer service ! You are a great asset to this company!

Don't go here. I've seen many vets/animal hospitals because I have 3 pets, so I have a good judgment of what a good vet sounds like. (Also, I'm not giving details about my pet or myself, because I don't want a response or excuse from the vet.)

This vet does NOT care about animals. He's just there for the money and wants you out of there. Read my detailed review below.

So, we took our pet in for a lump on his chest, with an appointment.

At first, everything was going smoothly in terms of checking in, so we thought it was going to be a good hospital. You have to fill

Okay, I was here few months ago because my cat Rio had UTI or blockage in the urinary tract.

It was an emergency situation, so I took him to the VCA emergency, but they quoted me ridiculous amount of money. I had to sign a paper and pay $80 for just seeing the vet, and leave.

My cat was crying all night, and I came to this place the next morning,
and their price was reasonable enough and I had him put on the catheter and stay there three days.

Even after Rio was emitted, Dr. A and his staff called and followed up on Rio's condition and made sure that he is well.

He is now a happy cat

TL; DR 4 Stars My furry loved one recently had to undergo a surgery from an unexpected injury. I discovered from Bloomfield Animal Hospital through a friend who's had a good experience with them. Dr. A and his staff are friendly and welcoming. The office is located on the 2nd floor via stairs or elevator. Multiple ways to communicate. I appreciate that they email you a copy of your pet's X-ray. Pricing is reasonable & slightly above average. Limited parking. Call to make an appointment. SYOY

Dr. Arambulo is awesome! Negasonic Zoey is thankfully a very happy and healthy little lady I read other reviews saying that if you don't do your research, Dr. A charges you more? I can say I've never experienced that. Dr. A has always been reliable and kind to us. Also--why wouldn't you do some research on your own into why your fur baby isn't feeling well before coming in? Doing the research and asking the right questions before visiting any doctor is always helpful, I believe. Anyway--I definitely recommend coming here to get your fur babies thoroughly checked out!

This review is for a call in to get a prescription:

My Pomeranian has heart failure and a collapsing trachea. He is still active but had a bad cough. Our vet prescribed a cough medicine they didn't have in stock so I was called around and called Bloomfield.

The girl on the phone was very kind and not only looked into the medication we needed but was able to get the doctor on the phone to speak about alternative medications for my dog!

While they were unable to help they did go out of their way to seek alternatives to assist my dog in being comfortable. That is rare in this world of vets
