I just dropped my dog off to have her teeth cleaned. This is the best vet clinic that I have taken her to. My favorite vet is Dr Meussel but all the Vets there are great.

The Animal Care Clinic Staff is the best! Dr Evans and Dr Tao served us very well for the last 15+ years. Our cats received the best care through injuries, illness, pest management, and finally through end-of-life services. Their office staff is always super-friendly and obviously very caring for animals of all kinds. When we were ready to move out of state, The ACC staff made sure that we were well supplied with medications to ease the stress of airline travel and adjust to our new home. Top-notch service!

At Animal Care Clinic in San Luis Obispo, CA. Is one of the best clinic. The Vet. Doctors and the entire Staff does their best to care for our pets. My dog Candie Cane is very well cared for. Her needs and comfort and love given. The people who work here are part of the family. Also, good folks out there in public loves our Candie Cane my beloved poodle. I am very happy with this clinic that I can trust her in their care when I need help right -a- way.

Best vet service I ever had! I needed to relocate my rabbit to Spain, and THEY figured out all the requirements and paperwork that was needed, even called the relevant government agency to be 100% sure, THEY timed my appointment to make sure it was within the right timeframe and THEY organized whatever had to be done within the same appointment so I only had to go once to get everything done.

Basically they made a very daunting process seem like a breeze. I had a bunch of phone calls with the clinic and everyone was always super friendly and professional. Highly recommend. Side note, I had also called a different clinic specialized in exotic animals (rabbits are considered exotic animals) and they were much less professional and totally unhelpful in comparison.

Always 100% fantastic service, care, and attention. Amazing outcomes, high level of detail and knowledge, exceptional pre- and post treatment follow-up; and competent, friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful staff. High integrity and pet specific, tailored approaches to various conditions provides great assurances and peace of mind that our pet receives the best possible care and attention. Highly recommend.

The staff here went above and beyond for my nacho kitty. I had to bring him back twice and the Dr and all the assistants were so helpful and explained everything to me and made sure that I totally understood my take home instructions. They have a number to text and talk to the Dr which of very helpful. I love this place. I would recommend it to anyone that wants their fur baby in the best possible care. Thanks you guys

Recently my dog Nash had a fox tail in his paw. I took him in and the staff there was so kind and loving both him and me. They took care of Nash and after I took him home they called and checked up on him daily and were so courteous and friendly and kind and caring. This is the only place I would take any of my animals and a matter of fact it is the only place I take my animals to.

I also have a cat named Buttercup who frequently visits there for shots and necessary visits. If you were looking for a veterinarian to care for your animals with over and above care and expertise, this is the place to go!

Had such a great experience here! The staff are pleasant and caring and deliver a consistent level of helpfulness, efficiency, and customer service. It's obvious that their priority is helping your pet as they were able to work us in on short notice. Will keep coming back and will also recommend their clinic to our friends and family.
