No parking, busy street and yoga people running around the hospital - Found a dog on the street and the receptionist said they could not contact the humane society and she could only scan him for a microchip. She scanned him for a chip and he did not have one. I could not take this dog in and wanted him to be safe out the street so I brought him to the nearest animal hospital which was VCA 4 paws.She also proceeded to fake and "ask someone" if they could take him in. So now doing a good deed was my problem and I had to take him to the shelter. VCA claims they are associated with helping their community and advertised all over the humane society; but clearly not. Instead I had to drive all the way to el cajon humane society with a dog I did not know was injured or who he was . They didn't offer to make sure he was okay and I am certain he was euthanized at the humane society.

Our Labrador has been a patient at 4 Paws for almost 10 years, and our mixed breed rescue for 2 years. In this time, we have experienced a variety of situations from routine checkups, surgeries and recently an emergency with the Lab. Everyone at 4 Paws is consistently helpful, communicative, super friendly and all go above and beyond to make sure the pets and the humans are happy and healthy. I recommend wholeheartedly.

We have two border collie puppies. We signed a contract with this VCA 4 paws for vaccination, veterinary services services and neuter. We decided not to neuter and asked if we could be compensated They said no. Recently our puppies got a skin infection. VCA 4 paws said we had to wait 10 Days to see a vet. I paid $400 to take them to another vet for treatment. My advice, DONTsign any contracts. Once they have your money you will receive either no service or BAD service

We adopted a shelter dog that began to show some concerning health symptoms. The shelter gives you a free certificate to be seen at a vet and 4Paws was on the list. We had previously lost a dog in a traumatic way to a similar symptom, so we were scared that this doggie was heading down that same path. Dr Morgan Thomas met with me and gave our girl a calm and thorough check up. She was slow... methodical... she gave the situation great care and thought. She understood our fears and was probably the most compassionate vet I have ever encountered. I didn't feel like she was trying to rush through the appointment at all. Our dog turned out to be healthy (aside from some serious weight loss that needed to happen!) and Dr Thomas made suggestions, and offered support and spent a really long time with us given the situation. More time than someone with a "free check up" was probably entitled to. We got all the recommended tests... a prescription diet food... and a heartworm flea pill. The support staff there is also fantastic. Really kind and professional. My only last question... how come my dog gets a better doctor than I do? Its been 3 weeks since the appointment an Miss Beru has lost 3.6lbs

With 4 paws you know your dog and your wallet is in good hands. They don't try to come up with ways to charge you. They care about the dogs well being and what they recommend is ways that really helps your pet . I used to take my dog to VCA west Bernardo hospital and God! I can't believe how they rip you knowing people care about their dogs and will do anything. Not cool. Thank you 4 paws. Glad I found you.
