IVVH made a day I absolutely dreaded for so long and made it a sweet goodbye. We have been to IVVH for previous visits for our oversized 14 year old GSD, Yogi, and each time, we were met with compassion, knowledge, and professionalism in some of our darkest moments. This last time was no different except that we finally had to say goodbye to Yogi. He just ran out of life. Brandon was so caring in how he spoke with us. He kept us up to date on Yogi's status, explained in very compassionate ways our options and allowed us the ... read more
Business response:
Dear Melanie, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us during such a deeply emotional and difficult moment. It was truly an honor to care for Yogi and to support your family through his final visit. Brandon, Dr. Fletcher, and the entire team were touched by your kind words, and we’re grateful to have been there to provide comfort and compassion as you said goodbye to your beloved boy. Yogi was clearly so loved, and we hope you find peace in the many wonderful memories you shared with him. Pleas... read more
The whole staff was amazing and incredibly supportive! From the moment Brendon saw our urgency and admitted us right away, to the constant update during Rocket's stay, and through the discharge and post visit follow ups, we felt reassured that Rocket was going to be ok. While we hope there won't be any more emergencies, we know that our little Rocket will be in good hands with IVVH.
Business response:
Dear Mike, Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re so glad we could be there for Rocket during such a stressful time. The entire team truly appreciates your trust and they are grateful to have helped you feel supported every step of the way. We’re wishing Rocket continued good health, and while we hope you won’t need us again for an emergency, please know we’ll always be here if you do!
They took care of our family dog, Galen, when he had gotten sick very quickly out of nowhere. He lost the ability to walk or even stand within 24 hours. There was quite a long wait, but it is totally understandable considering it's an ER. The staff were so sweet and caring. The vet did a great job at explaining our options, she had a very calm presence and was very knowledgeable. He ended up passing less than a week later, but I have full trust in irvine valley vet hospital for my other pets, if anything were to happen. I'... read more

We’re grateful for your trust and are here for you and your pets whenever you need us. With Love, Irvine Valley Veterinary Hospital
Edit: The manager reached out after expressing my concern and is committed to addressing my experience and improving. I can appreciate and respect that. Thank you
When I realized something was wrong with my new kitten, I totally panicked and just searched for the closest emergency vet near me on Yelp. I had no idea that quick decision would lead to such amazing care. From the very first phone call with the receptionist, I felt like we were in good hands. I brought him in right away per her instructions, and even though he had to stay a few days, the staff made everything so much easier. They sent me photos and regular updates through their app, and answered all my (many, many) questi... read more
Business response:

We truly appreciate your trust in us and are so happy to know your little one is feeling better. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you ever need anything—we’re always here to... read more
My kitty was sneezing a lot and feeling a little lethargic, so I called the office here off Sand Canyon and spoke with someone who suggested I come in. As I came in worried about her they all greeted me with warm smiles and positive attitudes. Which was needed because I personally was freaking out. Every step of the way each and every employee here made me feel comforted. Brandon was an absolute angel throughout me waiting by making me laugh, talking about random things to keep my mind occupied, and even made me some chamomi... read more

We know how hard it is to see a beloved pet feeling unwell, especially in the middle of the night, and we’re so grateful you trusted us with Salsa’s care. We’re thrilled to hear she’s feeling better ... read more
Last night was our second time taking our Shiba to induce vomiting. We celebrated Mother's day at midnight with our precious little mother ****** who thought it prudent to swallow a 2 inch shard of chicken bone off the street side, so sharp I actually bled my finger trying to break it in half. We visited and I wanted to avoid inducing vomiting but the vet tech said it's much lower risk to induce vomiting than a $$$$ surgery if we gambled on it. Let me be clear, our little hellraiser has been banned from daycares, bit me 5 ti... read more
Business response:
Dear Justin, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your story — and what a story it was! We're glad to hear your Shiba made it through the chicken bone incident safely (and in true dramatic fashion!).

We know how challenging emergency visits can be, especially with a spirited pup, and we’re truly honored that you trusted us again to help. We’ll be sure to share your kind words wit... read more
5 days ago I lost my precious Koda, she was 13. Dr. Christine Bobula was incredibly kind, compassionate, and empathetic during one of the most heartbreaking moments of my life. She took the time to explain everything clearly and gently, helping us come to the painful but necessary decision of euthanasia to give my sweet Koda peace. Dr.Bobulas presence was calming and sincere, and I'll always be grateful for the care she provided during such a horrible time. One suggestion id offer for future patients is to provide a keepsak... read more
