Animal Cove Pet Hospital

Dr. Garikipati and Dr. Magner are simply amazing humans who have been with us with our beautiful dog Bailey through thick and thin, always showing up promptly, with gentle care and extensive professional knowledge. We can't recommend Animal Cove enough. Thank you for being true dog lovers and being dedicated to this sacred profession.

In memoriam of Bailey our beloved gentle giant Alaskan Malamute 2/28/2012-11/30/2023 may she rest and play in canine heaven.

Thank you Dr. G and his staff for taking care of our 11 yr old chihuahua Yoda. He had some problematic dental issues despite only having 8 teeth left in his mouth. After the initial consultation, Dr. G listened to my concerns for Yoda's oral health and the fact that I had a fairly strict budget.
Once bloodwork was cleared, I scheduled for Dr. G to perform the oral/dental work and extractions. Yoda lost his remaining teeth but his overall health will be better as a result. That's the most important thing.
I looked over our itemized invoice and it was clear that Dr. G took my budget concerns into account and for that I am very grateful.

Thank you all at Animal Cove Foster City. Yoda is on the mend.

Highly recommended.

Amazing experience here!
My dog was neutered here and the whole process was very well organized and went smoothly.
I took him at 8am and picked him up at 5pm. There were no complications. The recovery time was less than 2 weeks. The pain medication given to me helped greatly. Afterwards, there weren't even any incision scars. We went back for 2 free checkups because I had recovery time questions. I will be coming back in the future for a hernia operation. Looking forward to it because I know it will go well! I am very glad that this hospital is so close to my house and serves this community well.

Best Animal Hospital and Veterinary care in San Mateo/Foster City/San Carlos/Millbrae/Burlingame!

We have tried numerous other vets in the area when our furry son got cancer.
Animal cove scheduled and saw us in 48 hours. Dr Inna was fantastic at intake and diagnosis, and Dr. G has been nothing short of brilliant, compassionate and the most competent vet we have seen to date.

Our dog is healing nicely, and the follow up care and empathy from the animal cove staff has been extraordinary!

Our overall cost was 1/3 of Sage and Dr. G save d the front paw of our beloved pet.

Highly recommend this vet hospital!

This office got me in quickly for my ill kitty. The front desk and support staff were welcoming and efficient. I felt my kitty and i mattered. The vet was wonderful. She took the time to listen to me so she could treat my kitty girl.
She went over options and gave me a clear estimate so there were no shock8ng surpises. I got all my questions answered and checked out quickly. So grateful. Thank you.

We took our new dog, Boomer, to Dr. G when we initially were fostering him. Dr. G and the Animal Cove team were just so kind, taking the time to evaluate Boomer and give us solid information. Boomer is now our newest member of the family. We have always been VCA patients, but are now moving all of our furbabies to Dr. G and Animal Cove. They truly care about their patients and are so kind to work with your individual scheduling needs. Thank you Dr. G and the Animal Cove Team!

I had a great experience bringing my cat in for multiple services including some tooth extractions and a descaling. The staff was thorough and friendly!

June 9 /2022 I went to hospital on emergency basis with my gorgeous cat . He is only 7 years old and was all of a sudden very sick. I was lucky to meet both veterinarians. Dr.Dilip Garikipati and Dr. Inna Magner. Both Doctors very pleasant. Dr. Inna Magner treated my cat. Dr. Inna Magner is highly intelligent, knowledgeable, straight to the point with ability to respond quickly to emergency cituation. She right away presented necessary tests for correct diagnosis and treatment plan with reasonable fees right on this high quality service. Thank you so much Animal Cove Pet Hospital stuff for helping me nursing my cat back to normal. I will see you all for my regular exam next year. 😻 and Dr. Anna Liviz

I had a good experience with animal cove. My cat Sushi had bladder infection a year back and was really painful because there was crystal blockage. Dr. Magner and Dr. Garikipati helped him out, and Sushi is now back to live and doing fine most of the time. They are also very helpful when I run out of medication for Sushi, and provides refill prescription same day I visited. Here is a photo of Sushi now :)

We take both of our beagles to Animal Cove, and they are the absolute best vets I've ever seen. The staff truly do love the animals, they are so kind to both Pennie and Lennie every time we go there.

What impresses me the most is how responsive they are to calls and emails. The other evening, I needed the vaccine records for both my dogs, and so I emailed them, they got back to me almost the moment their office opened the next day. This is really unusual and impressive, compared to most other vets that we've been to.

We've been going here for years, so we've been through everything from basic routine wellness checkup visits to bigger surgeries and emergencies. They have always been incredibly kind and loving to my dogs.

My cat had been vomiting a lot that day and crying before/during. He went in for an emergent appointment and they were able to schedule him quickly. I saw a male doctor, I forgot his name. I'm a huge baby when it comes to my cat and I had other things going on that was affecting me so I was crying during. The doctor offered me tissues, and he told me that he would find out what was wrong if there was anything wrong. My cat was reluctant to go back into his carrier and the vet tech offered to carry him instead. The doctor offered options and was conscious of budget. He also printed out the blood test and explained it to me which I'm super impressed because most places don't bother or assume you can't logically think about test number results.

We had our first visit with Dr. Inna Magner today and we can't wait to return. Dr. Inna has an incredible holistic approach with her acpuncture and laser therapy treatments. What she offers is so special...yes, everything I would do for myself, husband and kids holistic wise - she offers for our puppy!! I don't know anyone or anywhere else in the area that offers this type of cutting edge treament combined with traditional Chinese medicine that focuses on restoring the energy balance in the body to promote healing.

You will find Dr. Inna immediately warm and welcoming. She was so understanding and patient with our very enthusiastic australian labradoodle. She explained every step of the way about her approach, how it works and the benefits.

Savannah was also so sweet and lovely with Maverick. We loved her positive and warm vibe.

We can't say enough about Dr. Inna Magner, Savannah and the Animal Cove Pet Hospital team. We will be returning in early April for our next laser treatment. xx

My dog's nail broke one day prior to our vacation and they were very accommodating and went above and beyond to help my dog, Moose. The communication by the staff, the veterinarian Inna Magner was incredible and helped put me at ease. I am very appreciative of the care they gave to Moose and highly recommend the hospital and team.

I've been several vets . Animal Cove is the best ive seen ,There the most caring ,loving , knowledgeable vet around !
.Now i finally found a vet , That has heart and knows what there doing, At reasonable price . when it comes to my dog , I'm very protective . So for me to very happy with them, Thats means there over the top. So this is the place you want to go if you love your pet .

Had a great experience today. My feline friend was a little shy but it was great to know she was well behaved and in good hands. The team did a great job in diagnosing her conditions and listening to my concerns. I'm definitely coming for a followup and becoming a regular client 😊

We normally take our large doodle to VCA in san carlos however with slim to no appointments i was forced into finding another spot to bring my boy. I'm so happy with Animal Cove and all the staff is so friendly (my dog even turned around to say buy to the doggy nurse as she brought him out to me after his appointment with his tail wagging might i add).

The vet we had is also very very knowledgeable and you could tell he views animals like a GP views their human patients. He told me clearly what was wrong (ear infection) and what needed to be done and why he wanted to forgo a certain test stating that it was costly and not needed if the other treatment cleared things up. He didnt rush all of my questions because as i said, he seemed to view my dogs health as the most important thing. 100% would recommend Animal Cove to anyone in the area needing a vet!

My experience here so far has been nothing but amazing. The front desk staff is cheerful and super helpful, the tech staff are quite possibly the sweetest most eager to help people I have encountered in a veterinarian clinic, and both Doctors have been super knowledgeable, direct, and extremely kind to my super anxietized dog. I'm thankful I was referred to this establishment.

I have been using Animal Cove for about 30 years. The staff is always very friendly, caring and helpful. Dr Cowing is very thorough and explains all your options and what care is needed for your pet. Recently I had a very sick cat and it wasn't the outcome I expected, but they helped me through the sad process. I highly recommend this office.

I brought my cat here for a second opinion after seeing Peninsula Pet Hospital in Menlo Park, DO NOT GO THERE. Dr. Cowing immediately diagnosed my cat Blue with the problem. Unfortunately it was too late for him and I wish I saw Dr Cowing sooner. He is a very knowledgeable man and he genuinely cares about his patients. I feel that is hard to find in a Veterinarian. My cat is no longer with me but from now on I will go no where else, even if it is farther of a drive to get there. The whole staff is very nice and make you feel welcome when you are there. Highly recommend.

Dr. Cowing is the greatest. He spells everything out for you, and will answer all questions without hesitation. He will try everything to help my chronically ill pet. The women who run the front office are equally as great. They know me and my cat so well that they know what I need when I walk in the door. Everyone there is truly compassionate and caring. I have no problem driving the 20 miles to their office because I believe in them. I would recommend Animal Cove without hesitation.
