Conejo Valley Veterinary Hospital

We boarded our dogs here for several days and Conejo did a wonderful job. The kennel manager was very professional and the staff was great too. The kennels and facility were clean. I appreciate the strictness of making sure the animals are all up to date on their medical records. When I picked up my dogs, the staff brought my dogs to me one by one so I was not overwhelmed while loading them into the car. I'm always scared about who I am leaving my animals with, but Conejo made me feel like my dogs would be AOK - they were returned to me clean, happy and healthy.

I brought my baby boy here back in September so this review is long overdue. The staff here are truly wonderful people. My baby is a 5 pound chihuahua mix and he was having severe food allergies. Dr. Jeffrey Ohm (not sure if I spelled this correctly) was amazing; he told me to try feeding him cod and so far so good knock on wood. I highly recommend this pet hospital!!

The care team at Conejo Valley Vet Hospital are genuinely caring, professional and dedicated. They were very kind with our puppy who was there for routine vaccinations, she loves going to see the staff there.

The team at Conejo Valley Veterinary Hospital is stellar. They care. They are also very knowledgeable and give you plenty of time to ask your questions and discuss your concerns. They are efficient and get you in on time. I'm always impressed with the entire team, from check in to the vet techs to the doctors.

Ryan and Haley went out of their way to make sure our dog Sig was as comfortable as possible during our emergency visit. We had to rushing to the closest open Vet hospital after he got bit at the park. Sig is always super nervous at the vet. Knowing he likely needed stitches we were thinking this was going to be a very rough visit. But honestly Ryan and Haley went above and beyond to get him to feel as relaxed as possible. Thank you for making what could have been a very rough evening into one that was the best it could be under the circumstances. Yes, he got stitches but he also made two new friends.

An extremely Friendly and caring staff.
After taking my pup in for annual check, My car battery died in the parking lot, and I waited a long time for AAA outside. the nicest desk person ever brought me a coffee, she was amazing!!

I have been coming to CVVH for probably 3 years. My small dog ended up having many issues and had to be brought in and stayed for days for pancreatitis. It ended up to be chronic and all the help and support made it much easier for me to navigate thru to a new normal.

Then it came time when my dog was ready to lay her head down for the last time. My feelings over the situation was taken to heart by all Dr Kane and the rest of the staff and I was supported in my decision when to say goodbye.

I am excited to start afresh with a familiar medical team to care for my new puppy for years to come.

As for prices. I am sure you can find cheaper. But there are places that are astronomically more as well. I find the pricing fair and upfront. I was even charged too much for something and at a future visit I was told I had a credit so my current bill would be less (it happened twice and it was not much … around $9 once and I think $20 the other time … but it was much appreciated)

Our visit was prompt, quick and easy. My cat had a ball stuck to one of his claws and was in pain. He left the hospital without any pain and comfortable. The staff at CVVH was very friendly and professional.

Conejo Valley Veterinary Hospital provides expert care with utmost compassion! We had an urgent care situation that happened a couple days ago, our current vet could not bring us in so we were referred to call CVVH and we are so grateful we did! From the moment we called to the moment we walked out the door we were all treated with the best care and warm kindness. They were able to quickly schedule the surgery that our boxer needed and we have full faith that the vet surgeon and staff will do all they can to ensure it is successful. We highly recommend them and will now be patrons for life! 🐾🐾

Everyone one there was super awesome, Vince was great with my boy Brody. Would highly recommend this place for daycare

I was so thankful for the caring doctor and staff. They provided amazing dental procedure and follow-up
care for my dog. It was so comforting knowing that he is in great hands.

I was so impressed with every staff member I encountered. Bless them all for staying open during COVID19 pandemic. Dr. Kummerfeldt was extremely detailed with his explanations, repeating himself when I needed it, with patience. He called with the lab results as soon as he had them, which was amazing. He gave me instructions carefully on observing symptoms. They took great care and caution to protect staff and customers from the virus as well. And he explained what procedures could wait to avoid unnecessary costs.

Couldn’t figure out how to do another review so ….

Update 2021-07

I went again recently due to my Non emergency vet saying I needed an ultrasound. At Conejo, Dr Kelly did the ultrasound and gave me option of doing additional exam and consulting with me directly or instead consulting with my regular non emergency vet, thus saving the trouble of exam, meaning less kitty stress and money savings for me.

I saw Dr Whelan after that who also saved me unnecessary costs and drama for kitty by suggesting Options of less intrusive possibilities other than biopsy first. He also explained in great detail about why he made certain assessments and judgments. Which I sorely needed as I hate not understanding the why of treatments.

I have such faith that even though it’s a drive for me from out of town, I felt it would be easier to use them from now on as my routine vet as well so that everything is in one place since the issues will be ongoing. (Digestive disorder likely )

Each time I talk to others in the waiting room they rave about this place. Sometimes travelling quite some distance to attend.

Update : I forgot to say they text after the appt to follow up and even answer questions via text from that post visit text trail. How many companies do that? Incredible. It makes the client believe they actually care whether your pet gets better. And every single staff member is polite patient and friendly. Even though I’m usually wigged out when I arrive.

Update 2023-10-21

Apparently I can’t do a new review once I’ve done one and I can only edit old ones.

I went again today and am so impressed with how careful everyone is with the pets’ mental health. If a cat is nervous they will let it wait with its “cat mother” in a private quiet room while blood tests results are being processed and even allow checkout and payment in same private room. They are so good with questions and never rush the client. They all seem to love animals.

Dr Ohm was very detailed in his explanations. He was extremely attentive to urgent situations and quick to assess.

It was clear they would only do necessary procedures and not take advantage financially of client worry. There is such a relief in that kind of trust in an agency.

It’s no wonder every time I go there it’s busy and there are people coming from all different places, even as far as LA.

Dr Evan Antin is absolutely the best veterinarian! He is caring, thorough and really takes the time to explain next steps (dental cleaning under anesthesia, etc.). We have used Conejo Valley Veterinary Hospital for over 23 years with our previous 2 Labradors, and now with our smaller rescue dogs. The facility is immaculately clean and the staff is wonderful and attentive.

In reading other people's negative reviews, I don't get it at all. We've had a wonderful experience here with our rabbits. They are kind, caring and always absolutely get us in on time for our appointments - no waiting. We are so thankful we have found them. We drive quite a way to get there, but it is totally worth it. There's another bunny vet 5 minutes from me, but I will never go there again. Conejo Valley Vet is the best!

This place has been a godsend. I live in Simi and I will happily make the drive to see the doctors here. My family unfortunately was sold a sick Boston terrier puppy with parvo in May and she has since made a full recovery and is in great health thanks to Doctor Whalen and all of the staff. Dr Whalen truly cares about his patients and made sure our Lulu got the best care possible while keeping us updated twice a day throughout the entire process. It is so nice to bring her in now for checkups and to see how excited he gets to see Lulu and how healthy she is. Again- we love this place and can’t thank Dr Whalen and all of the staff there enough.

Simply the best! I've been seen at this hospital many times for all my pets and everyone is great! I wish they still saw exotics and had extended hours.

We've been with Conejo Valley Vet for years - like so many others. We currently have three fur children and visited with Dr. Whalen. He was so thoughtful and attentive. He offered his professional advice and provided his own personal approach. The entire staff were so friendly, as usual. We drive over 90 miles because the care from CVV is hard to find elsewhere. Thank you! We appreciate you all!

We have been going to Conejo Valley vet for 5 years now and is a really great place to take your pet. They are very clean and sanitized. The staff is kind and helpful and Dr. Matzuka is so caring and compassionate. She is wonderful and we appreciate everything that she does for us. Sometimes the phones are really busy but having the option to text or email and get a response is a great option. Also with this COVID-19 situation I appreciate how they allow one person to go in during visits, where most places do not allow any. I would definitely recommend them!!

Conejo Valley Veterinary Hospital is staffed by the friendliest and most knowledgeable professionals we’ve met. We will continue to bring our new puppy to Conejo Valley for years to come!

I came to put my dog down late in the evening on July 4 and was treated with the utmost care and respect. The night time staff were so very compassionate and kind. They allowed us plenty of time to be with my dog. The veterinarian calmly and quietly explained the procedure and what to expect so there would be no surprises. This was the hardest thing I’ve had to do in a very long time and I feel like they eased my own pain and anguish significantly. I’m so grateful.
