Top Animal hospitals in Long Beach, United States

I'm very grateful to have found this hospital. Dr. Michael is the best, he did an urgent splenectomy on my fur baby and was the only one that offered to help out in my "out of the ordinary" situation (and my dog was not a patient yet). I truly appreciate his willingness & dedication to help out a new patient. Everyone there is great! My fur baby Never is slowly recuperating and he's not in pain anymore. Thank you Dr. Michael, Dr. Mark and everyone else that helped to take care of Never while he was there. Many blessings to all of you always :)

All I can say is Wow! After doing my research and consulting with other veterinary practices in the area. Ambassador Vet Hospital is by far the best choice I could have made. Not only was the front desk staff welcoming and helpful. The Doctor, specifically Dr.Michael Shenouda went well beyond his duty to assure me and my family that my best friend Milo (9 month ) Lab Retriever was in good hands and was being provided with the best care… they conducted a FHO surgery on him and I couldn’t be happier with the results and treatments after. I finally have my boy back to normal. Truly thankful to have stumbled across such great people. Needless to say I will be coming here for the rest of my life.

Great service and pricing!
My dog had surgery on her ear and Dr.Michael took care of us. I was impressed most by his follow-up and he made sure everything was smooth through out her 3 weeks recovery process. Nothing but great things to say. Friendly, kind, and understanding.
Thank you Dr. Michael!

My 14 year old bengal was having difficulty breathing so I called around and LB Animal ER was the place that could see him immediately. He was having cardiac failure but they were able to get him in as soon as I got there and saved his life. I was so impressed with the entire staff's empathy and how quickly they took care of my fur baby. They called me to keep me updated and made sure I was comfortable and understood the treatment plan and options. Yes, it's expensive but so is any emergency care. They refunded me for the services=. Clients need to understand that you're getting emergency care by professionals (just like a human ER). It's expensive if you don't have insurance. I didn't feel like any costs were outrageous. They saved my cat's life and that's priceless to me. I ended up having to take my cat in the morning to another hospital to see a cardiologist and he's home now and doing well. I'm so grateful for the team here and they were all wonderful. 🩷

If you are looking for a Veterinary Care Center look no further. My previous Vet retired and I have been searching for another good Veterinarian. My search is finally over. Ambassador Hospital has excellent customer service, very clean, efficient and good staff with excellent Doctors. I was fortunate enough to get Dr. Michael Shenouda. He is compassionate, Honest, and detailed and provided my fur baby with excellent care. Treats the fur baby and the parent with much dignity and support. I am grateful for him. I can Highly recommend.

Our Win and Lou have been going to Dr. Voltin since they were 10 weeks old, they are now almost 11. She and her staff not only treat our pups, but us ad well! We love Uptown Animal Hospital!!

Needed emergency vet care recently on a Saturday night when my dog choked on a dog treat. The staff there were so helpful and my dog was taken care of right away. Everyone was friendly and the vet was awesome. I highly recommend Long Beach Animal Emergency if you’re ever in need of emergency vet care. The cost was reasonable too, which is huge! They called a couple of days later for follow up too. Great service

My wife and I had the most amazing experience with Long Beach Animal Hospital. When we took our beloved cat in with a broken pelvis, there was no pressure to have unnecessary tests, scans, labs, etc done to our guy. They stuck with the basics one step at a time rather than to rush to judgement and have us spend a boatload of money for unhelpful services. We only wish they offered after hours help.

Unfortunately our cat was injured during off hours so we suffered the trauma of having to take him to a local 24 hour emergency vet. That vet is a one trick pony. They seem to treat every arriving animal as though they are on the verge of sure death. We knew this was not the case with our cat and the folks at Long Beach Animal Hospital affirmed this. Highly, highly recommend them. If your cat is injured and first taken to emergency, consider getting pain meds only there to get them through the night without suffering and take them to Long Beach Animal Hospital the next day I stead. You will not regret it.

I highly recommend LB animal emergency for any medical care your pet needs. My dog wasn’t eating so we stopped by on a Sunday around 3pm and the place was pretty busy. They operate like an ER where they will care to higher risk animals. So yes the wait can be long unless your dog is bleeding out, as expected!

We waited 1.5 hrs but as soon as we got a room everything went smoothly and the Dr, her assistant, and my vet tech, Melodie, were amazing! Super friendly and patient with all my questions. I will definitely be back if my dog has an emergency again.

Disclaimer, YES the prices are steep compared to a normal vet but you are getting emergency around the clock care WITHOUT an appt. This type of care and the changing influx of clients they have to deal with are baked into the prices. Just like it would be at an ER. So please manage your expectations accordingly! Otherwise I suggest making an appt at your primary vet if your pet isn’t in any immediate danger.

Front desk was helpful and polite, wait time was long but I was warned before I arrived. Waiting room is clean.
When my kitten was examined the doctor thoroughly explained to me the problem and the solution. Professional and straight to the point. Before I left I was given instructions and staff made sure I thoroughly understood them before we left. I got a callback a few days to see how my kitten was doing which I appreciate.
My kitten was spayed and the following night she tore her stitches and needed to be re-stitched. Total cost including a cone was between 450 and $500. Small price to pay for a middle of the night emergency. Definitely not cheap but reasonable given the situation. I would return to Long Beach emergency hospital.

Uptown Animal Hospital has an extremely compassionate team. They helped me when I had to put my cat down and they helped me get my new kitty healthy. They are the only place I'll take my cat. Even when it was sad it was a good experience.

We brought in our dog who had ingested my brother’s dog’s Prozac. She had taken a lethal dose and the staff at LB ER animal
Hospital got her in quickly and saved her life. The staff was so warm and kind and the Vets, techs, and support staff communicated often with us. They also let you visit your dog when they are hospitalized overnight. They saved her life and I am so grateful to them!

Thank you!

Love the people there they treat their animals good I just went in and got my dogs medication🐕 this is a good place to take your animals.

Dr. Voltin is amazing!!! The entire staff is caring! This is the only place I take my pets—even though I have to drive a distance!

Dr Ena was extremely rude over the phone when I called to just get some general information which I have called about 8 other places now for and not a single place reacted the way she did to just wanting to know general information and possibly schedule an appointment she’s pretty much pushing people away and assumed I could not afford to pay for the service? I’m not sure why she presumed that just because I wanted to know some information before hand…

The staff was awesome. Very friendly. I called requesting pain medication for my dog after my visit on 12/22. I saw Dr. Meina on 12/27 who examine Willie (dog) and he provided him with two injections and meds to take home along with his diagnosis. He was very thorough and showed compassion. Willie is doing better and we have a follow-up appt. in a week. I appreciated the time he took to make sure Willie would be comfortable after he returned home. My earlier comments of Dr. Wisa was edited due to sometimes an interaction between Dr. and pet owner falls short when the owner is cut out of the decision making. I personally appreciate the Dr's opinion but not when information is withheld from me no matter what the reason and my decision to make is removed. Thank you.

We were told to call ahead to notify them that we were coming. However, we still ended up waiting hours to get our pet seen who was quickly deteriorating even though we were the only people in the waiting room.

The vets here may like animals but they LOVE money. Have health insurance or be prepared to take out a second mortgage to pay for their prices. I see prices for the same procedure elsewhere that are 1/3rd the cost of theirs. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to go anywhere else after being poorly recommended this place by another vet.

Also, these people like the sound of their own voice more than letting you spend your final moments with your animal in peace. The small window I had with my dog while he was most alert was lost due to the vet incessantly talking and telling me things that didn't matter and could have been explained earlier. How completely unaware can you be? Overall, the staff was awkward to deal with and seemed unconcerned with the well-being of my animal.

This place seriously needs new management. I would drive to an out-of-state animal hospital before I ever consider coming back here.

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

I love Dr Ena and all her staff. I take both my dogs to her and everyone is so kind understanding and helpful. They always make me and my dogs feel at home and this is the first vet that my dogs aren’t terrified to come to. They actually enjoy it, probably due to the doggie treats they get at the end of their visit. They have helped my dogs with numerous from eye problems to anal glands, but in particular their allergies. Other vets had them on heavy medications with not so great side affects. After one exam Dr Ena gave me some things to try at home and shampoo and they’ve been fine ever since! So grateful for her and all at Beach veterinary ♥️

The room was dirty not sanitize at all . I took my dog and 2 cats Doctor when in and checked all 3 in less than 3 min. Also , the cats where not weight, I had to ask for them to do it. I dislike that my dog was taken away to another room to receive a vaccine. I'm definitely not taking my pets there again 😒

Unfortunately, visiting an emergency animal hospital means something is wrong with your pet. Twice it’s resulted in making a difficult decision for my fur babies to end their pain. This last time, my new kitten was in distress and the outcome was much better. He’s back home and healthy, happy, and playful. The staff at the LB Animal Emergency Hospital are always compassionate and caring, very open about procedures and prices, and do a wonderful job with the animals they care for. I hope to never have to bring a pet there but know if I do, they will be well taken care of.

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!!

Dr Ena is the best bet we ever had. She cares and loves our animals

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.

This is a fantastic vet, the staff are so patient, knowledgeable and helpful. The facility is clean and well kept. We are so grateful our furry friends have such great care here in Long Beach!

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

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 feel like the vets and assistants here really care about the animals that come in, and when i needed to get my dog treated instead of immediately going for the most expensive option, the vet reccomended some less severe treatment and she was cured! I appreciate when people arent money hungry and exploitave of their patients.

I recently had the privilege of taking my Labrador-Pit Bull mix Sasha, and I couldn't be more grateful for the care we received. My dog required eye surgery, and the hospital went above and beyond to provide prompt and compassionate treatment.

Dr. Michael, the attending veterinarian, was not only highly skilled but also incredibly compassionate. They took the time to thoroughly explain the surgical procedure, its risks, and the expected outcome. Their expertise and genuine care instilled confidence in me and reassured me that my dog was in capable hands.

One aspect that truly impressed me was the hospital's commitment to providing immediate care. They understood the urgency of my dog's condition and managed to schedule the surgery for the same day.

Not only did they provided good care, but they also proved to be affordable without compromising quality. As a pet owner, finding affordable veterinary services that don't compromise on excellence can be challenging.

I highly recommend this place to anyone seeking prompt and compassionate veterinary care. The warm and efficient staff, the expertise of Dr. Michael, and the hospital's commitment to affordable excellence make it an outstanding choice. Whether it's an urgent situation or routine check-ups, this is a place where you can trust your furry companion will receive exceptional care.

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!!!

I'm very happy with Dr Julie Voltin and team @ Uptown Animal Hospital. The group is caring and conscientious, and I find their fees to be fair and reasonable. I also like that they have partnered with a dentist who offers cleanings without anesthesia. I believe I've been with this group for 6 years or so. It's been a while.

I just visited this veterinarian for the first time. Dr. Ena sat with me for quite awhile explaining different antibiotics, and my cat’s condition. I have never had a veterinarian so invested in my cat’s care. I felt like she really enjoys helping animals and loves her job. The receptionist, Ashley, is so nice, and she seems like she really cares as well. The other receptionist, Osmara, was really sweet as well, and full of smiles. I will come back ❤️

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~

5 star review went to 1 star after a staff member ridiculed and insulted me within an ear shot.
Ambassador is a good animal care facility, clean, good doctors, efficient scheduling, reasonable prices, and great staff... with the exception of one person who insults and mocks a client... then calls several times to try and get me to change my 2 star review.
What kind of professional does that?
Like I said everything about Ambassador is 5 star... EXCEPT just one employee.
And yes I changed the 2 star review..

Honestly, the most rude vet I have ever encountered in my life. She threatened to have my dog’s head cut off (!!!) and was barking at her staff. I feel sorry for the ladies who work under that vet. Save yourself and your pet the trauma and go literally anywhere else. I wish zero stars was an option. Your pets deserve better.
- EDITED -
I came in for flea medication, this vet threatened to cut my dog's head off. Your choice. I've filed a complaint with the state medical board. I encourage others to do the same.

They were terrific. All covid protocols were observed, friendly staff and all health issues were addressed. I will recommend them to anyone looking for a veterinarian.

Dr. Ina and her staff are the best in town. They legitimately care about your pet, I’ve seen dozens of vets over the lifetime of my dogs and Ina is the only vet I have trusted. She’s saved my stinky dog’s life and I’m forever grateful.

I do find it humorous the folks on here that have an issue on her non GMO stance- does that make the reviewers proGMO?! How does that factor into the care of your pets?

Ina is brilliant and her staff are the sweetest around.

Dr Voltin provides exceptional care for my dogs. Thankful to have found such a great and caring vet!

Updating my three year review from 5 stars to 1 star. These vets don't care anymore! I've been taking my animals to this location for years. At minimum 15 years. Lately, they're hiring people that have absolutely no compassion for animals it seems.
The Doctor called my dog a train wreck because he's special needs. She prescribed medication to him for an animal 50 lbs more than his weight, and when asked about it, shrugged it off and said it's fine. It wasn't until the nurse noticed and said he absolutely could not have that dosage.
Are you trying to harm my animals??
Next, I brought my other dog in for his vaccinations. He's gone to the same place for FOUR years. LBAH was my go to vet always. But they decided to give my dog all three vaccination shots without warning me that he's never done that before, or that he might have a reaction. Less than hour later, my dog was covered in hives. We called and were told to bring him back immediately, so we did.
They never mentioned the amounts they were going to charge AGAIN because he had to have it reversed. Communication is lacking here and they just want their money.
After 5 hours for an appointment, I will NEVER take my pets back there again.

WOW!!! I am sooooooooo grateful for this wonderful, caring, very skilled, insightful and knowledgeable Veterinarian * Dr Ena saved my little dog! My chihuahua was bitten badly by a Pit bull mix at a friends house and I went to some other Vet Clinics & Animal Hospitals and nothing felt right. Then, upon meeting Dr Ena she had the best solutions and suggestions and ultimate care for the well being of my dog. I felt as if I had met an animal Angel & fantastic Doctor! Her expertise is amazing, her heart huge and her prices are very reasonable...
