My dog Homer and I enjoy every visit we have at Rose Canyon. Everyone is so friendly and happy to see us. We never feel like our appointment is rushed, and we know we are in good hands. I highly recommend Rose Canyon for any pet owner.

Absolutely love Dr Michael and his team. The office is always busy but they get us in when we need. Dr Michael always is very kind, informative, and is very fair in pricing. I now drive over 30 miles to still take my dogs to him, because I trust him. I do not take this lightly with the welfare of my fur-children. His team is so nice and are always excited when I bring my furry crew in to welcome them with open arms. Just a great team and I'm very pleased with them! Highly recommend!

Dr. Michael and his staff are simply amazing and compassionate. Made us feel so welcomed and Loukas, our English bulldog absolutely was well taken care of. I had moved away after taking my last 3 bulldogs to Dr. Michael and being welcomed back with our new puppy who has allergies that are out of control, Dr. Michael and his staff helped us and in less than 24 hours improvement was seen. Dr. Michael takes a special interest in each patient and is so kind and gentle.

His staff is so professional and make you feel welcomed. Words could not explain our amazing return and I would highly recommend Dr. Michael and his staff to anyone. Can't thank you enough! Lisa

I love coming to Rose Canyon and will not go anywhere else. Dr. Michael's is such an amazing, caring, honest Vet. All the staff in front are so kind and hard working. They all have top notch service every phone call and in person. They do not get stressed out even though the facility is always so busy. Every vet tech or assistant that comes in the room before Dr. Michael's always listens to everything I have to say, without rushing me.

I appreciate all of your staff and so does Bear! Thank you all for making me feel so comfortable. I love that you guys trust me enough to pay a few days later if needed. 5 stars all the way! Look how happy my dog is at the vet in my photo. you can not beat that.

We were very thankful for the compassionate care we received in a difficult time as we had to say goodbye to our Tabby Tia. They took our 16 year old cat circumstances into consideration before reassuring our decision to let go and end the suffering. The fee's we're very reasonable and we are grateful to have chosen Rose Canyon Animal Hospital.

Dr. Michael and his staff are knowledgeable and relate well to pets. One of my dogs was an outrageous extrovert, but my current dog is a shy guy. Dr. Michael always makes him feel at home. Prices are reasonable, too. I recommend them highly.

I cannot express how satisfied I am with Rose Canyon Animal Hospital. I've been coming here for the last 5 years for annual check ups for my dogs. The staff is amazing and just wonderful, technicians are professional. The only flaw I see is the waiting area, it could benefit with a remodel of the front office. Needs a little touch up to feel more modern.

De Michael is a wonderful vet. We have been with him for almost 8 years with a very health prone dog and he is amazing. He never has ever suggested anything we don't need and is the most fair veterinarian I've ever come across.

I have been going to Rose Canyon Animal Hospital for the last 5 years. I started going there because my rescue dog had been treated there before we adopted him. It's 30 mins away from my home, and my dog hates the car, but I would not take him anywhere else. I even switched my cat's vet, so he goes there too. I have been constantly impressed with the level of care they have provided my pets and the affordability of their services. They are hands down the best vet service I have ever used.
