Staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and good with my pets. They explain things clearly. They make it as easy as possible for our pets and us! My kitten was getting a vaccine, they were gentle and loving towards him.

Dr. Henderson and her team are simply the best! They have been caring for our Polar Bear all his life (and our beloved Pooklook before him) and we trust no one more with his health and well being. Dr. Henderson is the most professional and knowledgeable vet we've met and most importantly she's always happy to educate and share her knowledge with those of us willing to learn more about the health of our kiddos.

Her passion and devotion for the care of her patients is priceless. The staff is always the most friendly and compassionate towards pets and their humans alike. I am always moved while I wait at their reception area about how courteous and caring they are towards everyone. Finally, I truly appreciate how honest and fair they always are when it comes to costs for services and options available. They are always transparent and upfront about their recommendations and are usually able to offer alternative options to help out those who may need it. We are so fortunate to have them care for our boy. Thank you Alta Rancho Pet and Bird Hospital.

My fur baby needed to have the staples removed after her spay surgery~~as always, Sara was her super exuberant, helpful self and the tech who removed the staples was F-A-S-T! Thanx for the positive experience for my baby!

We first brought our dogs to Alta Rancho around 1999 and have always had the very best of care from Dr. Henderson, Dr. Shufer, and their staff. We tried a few other vets thinking to save money but came back here and will never stray again. You get what you pay for and my kids are so worth it. The quality of care and the peace of mind that their professionalism and dedication brings makes the choice an easy one.

I had 2 canaries. One was named Yellow. The bird doctor at Alta Rancho said that his leg was broken. He also said the aluminum will continue to make his leg bleed. Canaries are so small that blood loss is serious. I guess he could not saw the aluminum off and fix the leg. He also said that he could refer us to other doctors but they're gonna say the same thing. I ended up cremating my bird Yellow.

Then my other bird Hello did the same exact thing. I went to the Irvine bird doctor Larry and he said he could save all birds and the aluminum breaking their legs is very common. he has 7 canaries he saved and are at his home. He sawed off the aluminum in no time and saved Hello. Please remember my Yellow
