San Bruno Pet Hospital

I've nothing but amazing experiences here at San Bruno Pet...I wouldn't take my pups anywhere else. They saved my little Olive from heartworm and I'll forever be grateful.

Expensive and not forthcoming with costs. **BE WARNED**.



This was our vet until recently; though I had been considering a change for a while. Final straw came when we took our dog in for day boarding and received a bill for ~$110.



Reasoning was that they gave the dog an "exam" (*without authorization*) and slapped on an extra $60.



Whether or not the exam was policy (which they explained after the fact), it was totally redundant. We had spend more than $1000 in the previous 2 weeks having the dog examined already (which found, alas, a tumor). What more could be examined? What would this extra exam tell us?



Besides which, San Bruno pet hospital is approximately 4X more expensive than other places (for example, SAGE Centers for Veterinary Specialty & Emergency Care). They quoted $800-$1200 for an ultrasound for our dog, versus the $200 it actually cost at SAGE.



Sorry to say, but I recommend you go elsewhere if you don't want to be ripped off and then be lectured about "policy".

I can tell that every staff member at White Ivie LOVES animals. My dog is difficult most of the time. But they take loving care of him. If you want the very best for your best friend -go to White Ivie Pet Hospital.
