Long Beach Animal Hospital

10/10 They took great care of our cat, Muffin. She was limping on Saturday evening, we called Sunday and they got us right in. We dropped her off and picked her up a few hours later. The facility is bright, clean and welcoming. The vet staff was friendly and knowledgeable.

I called Long Beach Animal Hospital on a Sunday afternoon and the staff there got our pug in two hours later. It was such a relief.

All of the staff there were excellent, from start to finish. The vet was thorough and super friendly. I really felt everyone there was genuine and not trying to make a quick buck (like some other vets in the neighborhood). The cost of treatment seemed super reasonable too!

I’m so happy we found this place and we will be making this our new regular vet. Hands down the best vet experience we’ve had in a very long time.

I took my Ratty here yesterday morning and of course it was an emotional day for me I knew I had to put my ratty to rest and these people are so compassionate towards me and my baby it was quick and they left me in a room while my baby stopped breathing in my arms I cried so loud and no body bothered me until I was ready to go

This is the first vet in last ten years sat down with me and explained to me actually cared and didn’t even ask about money he just care about Dallas. They have compassion and gave me list just like child Dallas is our son and rescue dog this vet hospital is awesome everyone should bring there pets here and there reasonable prices thank u Longbeach animal hospital god bless

Super thankful to LB Animal Hospital for driving over to pickup a sick stray cat (on a weekend no less). I could not get a call back from ANY local feral cat/rescue orgs. I am so grateful that this place exists!!!

Thank you for answering the phone, demonstrating genuine empathy and concern, sending LB animal control to transport sick kitty to your hospital to help this sweet little baby!

Now I know who to call in an emergency. Highly responsive, professional and genuinely cares! Thank you so very much for all you do!!!

They where very professional took care of all of our questions we had.. gave us lots of help with our 8 weeks puppies sky and liberty .. we will.be going back to them... very helpful and professional

This is my go to exotics vet. Although some of vets there may handle them old school— holding them by the scruff(which I’m not all that fond of), I can at least rest easy on taking my hamsters here for any reason, since they specialize in exotics, and can accurately give you the right meds your exotic pet needs~

I brought a pigeon in that I had found in an unusual location that seemed to have some difficulty flying to get assessed for possible release. They were able to look at the bird quickly and said he needed some supportive care as he was a little thin. So glad they were able to do this since I'm not familiar with birds at all and wouldn't have known he was underweight.

Amazing and friendly staff!! So glad I brought my rabbit here especially with how hard it is to find a vet that specializes in rabbit medicine. I brought in my rabbit coco that’s 5 years old that had diarrhea and did not want to eat and the vet was very thorough with explaining what was wrong with him, doing a full body assessment and recommending a healthier diet. He is doing much better with the medicine given by the Vet and I am extremely happy to see him not in pain anymore and back to his normal self. I knew he would be in great hands once I saw other bunny parents in the waiting room who shared with me that they have been bringing their rabbit there for years. Prices are reasonable and fair. I can definitely say after the first visit coco will be coming back for check ups and will recommend this place to any other pet owners. Thank you LBAH!!

Andrew made the appointment that sent me to this wonderful place! I was so appreciative of Jackie's patience while she taught me how to give my furbaby his insulin! Doctor Ridgeway was someone who I definitely vibed with and he was great with my baby! Make sure to bring your fur baby here, you won't be disappointed!

11/7/23: Just got a phone call from the office, calling to check on my baby!

This was my first time dealing with a vet. Haven't had the pleasure of having many pets in my adult life to be honest. But here I am with a rabbit peeing deep red! LBAH was referred to me by a pet advocate who works at another vet (a lot further away). I had the best experience here with the kind and knowledgeable staff, from the clerks, nurses, techs and doctor. Even other patients!

I was honestly expecting to pay a lot more than what I ended up paying, too. They broke down what cost what and it all made sense.

I'm going back in about 5 weeks to see how my rabbit heals up with her inflamed bladder (due to calcium build up). It's worth the drive for me to have Kitty (YES MY RABBIT'S NAME IS KITTY) treated by LBAH. My best friend lives in LB and has a pup named Obi and I let her know how great of a vet LBAH is. Already spreading the word!
Picture: my rabbit Kitty while in the patient room.

I heard my guinea pig making hooting noises and just to make sure everything was ok I made an appointment with Dr. Ridgeway which I had read some great reviews on him.

Check up was $70 but it was worth it we drove 45 minutes to see him. Turns out my piggy did have a URI and I was given antibiotics.

Compared to other vets I have gone to this is the only one that did not try to charge me for random things and Dr. Ridgeway was very well informed about guinea pig care. He did not try to rush us and asked if we had any other questions. He knew how to hold and handle a guinea pig. Staff was very nice and we went in and out did not take to long. Love the fact that I was able to make an appointment last minute.

Update:

Just took my two babies we just adopted to make sure everything was great. We saw Dr.Woods She was amazing and knowledgable of guinea pigs. I just love their service!!

I brought my first bunny here earlier this year. He had been sick a while and I fear it was already too late but they were the sweetest ever. They gave us the best care and when things got worse they euthanized him for free.
Yesterday my new bunny got sick and I brought him in. They remembered us and we're so kind. They give the best care. Our little Charlie is doing fine 12 hours later.

My experience has always been a positive relief when I take my little fur baby for her appointment at Long Beach animal hospital. The staff and the Doctors treated us like we were part of the family.

Dr Yamamoto was excellent with our rabbit, Dove. The staff was professional and helpful. We got an appointment on short notice. Prices were fair. We are very happy. Best vet we have found for rabbits. We appreciate them.

We have been bringing our kitties here for many years. Everyone here is great in dealing with our kids, even when they get a little ornery. One was recently diagnosed with a very rare, incurable cancer, and although he was in remission, he had a bad reaction to chemo. We took him to LBAH as an emergency over the weekend. They spoke to his oncologist and agreed that the best course of action was for us to transfer him to the 24-hour hospital in Irvine where his oncologist practices. He is now just about back to normal! It's not all about the money with them; it's what's best for the pet.

Amazing service, great communication and awesome staff! They were able to answer all my questions. Apart from that they are very affordable! They helped me right away with my cockatiel Gus and took great care of him! ❤

Took my pet rat in for a respiratory infection. The staff is very nice. The vet is very caring and took the time to figure out what's wrong with my Nova. They even have an office cat named Groot lol. He is the cutest.

These kind, hard working people help save pigeons.

From my desperate phone call in to the in-facility responses to those around me = kindness, wisdom and care.

( PARKING - Come early to find a space. There are side streets that don't charge but a lot of cars are already parked. )

( They also have air conditioning !!! Bring a mask as last I went beginning of AUG 2022 it was required.. or call to check if near this review date. )

I found a King Pigeon without any tail feathers (ie most likely pulled out by a hawk chase) and no leg band... NO ONE in the animal care world would help me because it was a domestic pigeon. No one!!!! And at the time, a Saturday. Even dove/king pigeon releasing locations refused; it wasn't worth their time.

But - some mentioned this vet location. I called & they confirmed; they WILL take the pigeon to a rehab facility on their own time and dime.... IF I catch it.

!!!!!

So I Googled "How to catch a hurt pigeon" .... and God-willing with a lot of crazy running around and careful blanket throwing, it worked!!!!! Then I drove in rush hour from Burbank to Long Beach ..... and left the little white dude in their caring hands.

What a beautiful place.

Grateful.

The amount of care, compassion, and initiate that these amazing people have showed me and my baby boy has been phenomenal. I also wanted to put the spotlight on Dr. Loper for just a second because he always went above and beyond to make sure that we were cared for- so thank younso very much! I would highly recommend this establishment for your pets needs. Like most veterinary clinics, they can be busy at times, but they do a great job of accommodating the community need for pet care.
