The staff at Bloomfield are amazing. They were so kind and compassionate when they lovingly helped two of my cats cross the Rainbow Bridge. If I get any other pets, I will bring them to Bloomfield because they will be in good hands..I wouldn't want my pets to go anywhere but here . Thank you Bloomfield Animal Hospital staff.

Bloomfield Animal Hospital is a wonderful place that offers the traditional attention and care you would expect for your fur babies. Unlike the cold corporate vet clinics that are cropping up left and right- Dr Arambulo together with his wonderful & knowledgeable team ,offer professional, trustworthy and caring service that every furry patient deserves . Their modern equipment and well equipped lab is very impressive as well. Last but not least, the resident cats are so charming - remember to bring them a treat or a toy when you visit! Bloomfield AH is a gem in the industry.

I feel so lucky to have finally found a veterinarian that I totally trust my dogs lives with. From the very first day, Dr. A. read my dogs lab records from a nearby vet and treated him for a condition that was life threatening and was unnoticed by the other vet. He prescribed a medication that is working for my dogs medical problem. He found an orthopedic surgeon to perform surgery for my dogs lameness.
With each exam he comes into the room and explains the procedure to me. The staff at his practice is exceptional! The prices are reasonable. When you make an appointment, the wait time is less than 5-10 minutes. The atmosphere comfortable and encouraging. Again, I feel so lucky that I have finally found a vet that I trust, can afford, and am completely happy with.

I just moved to the area with my doggie and I was nervous about finding a new vet for him. I felt very happy after my visit to Bloomfield Animal Hospital. The clinic is clean, they treated my baby with so much love. You can tell the people who work here love animals. They even had calming instrumental music playing in the background (iykyk). Dr. A was great and my dog was comfortable with him.
