We will provide face masks for those who do not have one or services will not be rendered.

Since they switched to their automated answering system it is no longer possible to talk to anyone. I’ve spent thousands of dollars with them and have always been happy with treatment my dog received but recently I received an email requesting me to contact the doctor regarding a lab report. It seems like the system now is a text system where you can’t lock down a date or a time or anything else to actually have a conversation as requested by the treating physician. A totally frustrating place.

It's taken me over two years to write this review. My cat's name is Earl and I took him here due to a mouth allergic reaction called Eosinophilic Granuloma. The vet had suggested some changes to diet and a medication that was giving him diarrhea; and if that didn't work, a steroid. When I asked about the side effects of the steroid, I was told the worst thing was a a chance of becoming diabetic. I did not want this so I waited, until one day his mouth started bleeding from the condition. I decided to bit the bullet and give the steroid a chance. Big mistake, a few days later he woke me up breathing

We love everything about Walnut Creek Vet Hospital! The facilities are amazing and the staff is incredible. Dr. Thistlethwaite and Gulnar are the primary care team for our Corgi puppy, and they have done an outstanding job with his puppy care. Everyone is very friendly, knowledgeable, and communicative. We will be using their services for years to come!!!
