I took my cat here during the height of the pandemic, they were able to see us right away. They handled the entire visit professionally and helped me with a very difficult time. I highly recommend their services.

After taking our boys to several different veterinarians in the area, we can say Dr. Herrmann and the rest of the people at MPVESC are the best! The people are very friendly and the facilities are always fresh and clean. Even when we arrive after hours with a dog in pain we are welcomed and are seen quickly by the doctor.
We appreciate Dr. Herrmann's direct style and value her expertise. We recently boarded our dogs there and they seemed well taken care of. It was tough for us to trust someone with our boys for several days as we had never boarded them before. We picked them up and they were happy

After reading reviews I had high hopes this vet would be able to help me and my cat. Unfortunately, after being 40 minutes late to our scheduled appointment, the vet on site only quickly checked over my cat and sent us on our way with no answers, as well as a much bigger price tag than mentioned over the phone. If you have a cat and are looking for a new vet this is NOT the vet for you. After visiting Purrfurably Cats I was able to receive the care and medication I needed for my pet, but I feel terrible he had to wait another uncomfortable two weeks due to a lack of thorough veterinary work.

I have gone to this facility for the last three years with many of my pets. The staff is always friendly even when they are busy. Dr. Herrmann has been our primary care veterinarian for years and has also been available during emergency hours when my pets were in need of care. The team is so kind. I was so embarrassed when my dog accidentally peed on the vet tech. The tech was so gracious saying “No problem. It’s part of my job!” Monterey Peninsula veterinary service is the best 24 hour emergency clinic around.

Our little dog was bitten by a big dog Friday nite. Holiday weekend in Santa Cruz, no vets available, so we drove over an hour to Monterey. Dog lost a lot of blood and had trouble breathing. Another two hours in the waiting room, then the vet spent less than two minutes with our pet. Pronounced her fine and dismissed us. Dog continued to bleed and gat worse. Had to go to another vet and she is scheduled for surgery. This place did nothing for our pet.

Monterey Peninsula Veterinary Services at Ryan Ranch consistently has provided compassionate, continuous and competent care for our pets over a span of twelve years. We cannot praise this organization enough.
Need to deal with an emergency on Sunday morning? You will be seen!
Even on an emergent basis when unfamiliar staff have treated our pets, the service has been consistent, honest and above all, compassionate.
We have required euthanasia services. Monterey Peninsula Veterinary Services has gotten both our pets and us through these events.
Perhaps the location at Ryan Ranch is off-putting

My mini schnauzer had an abscess in his paw and I took him to Monterey Peninsula Vet. The wait was short and the doctor discovered a fox tail embedded in his paw. The procedure went well and my dog completely recovered within 7 days after meds and antiseptic care. My thanks to the competent and professional staff at the vets

I had to find a pet hospital since I was only visiting the area. Of the two pet hospital‘s in the area, this one said there was a two hour wait, and the other one didn’t even have a doctor until noon. I was calling at roughly 8:30 in the morning.
Upon arrival, they didn’t even say hello, or ask what was wrong, they just said you might want to go somewhere else we are on a two hour wait. Tough to do when the only other hospital didn’t have a doc in.
There wasn't any triage. (A little surprising given they are an emergency hospital.).
They did not take a temperature.
They did send us

Dr. Herman is hand down the best vet we’ve encountered since moving from Los Angeles. And she is on par with our beloved vet in so cal. This woman is incredibly caring and works tirelessly. You couldn’t ask for more from the person protecting the continued life of your pet. She is no B.S. and cuts straight to the matter, which I find refreshing. I don’t care about small talk when my dog’s life is on the line, and neither does she. We brought our 15 year old pug in during emergency hours and two days later he was better than he was before. Frank is happy and alive thanks to the incredible

I am very pleased with the help that I received for my dog Moo Moo's at Monterey Peninsula Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Center. It was very reassuring to have a 24-hour emergency Center that could help her. As soon as we walk through the door they where there, and took extremely good care of her when she needed it the most. I'm very grateful for the staff for being there for us. I would definitely recommend anybody who may have any worries or concerns, when it comes to their pets that this is a great place to bring them to.
