We have gone to Dr. Howard for all our dogs since the 80's. The doctor and staff always make you feel that they are concern about the health and welfare of your pet. Dr. Howard, you and your staff will be missed. Thank you so much. 👍👏🐕🤗

Professional, but the veterinarian herself had somewhat of a bad attitude, was a bit condescending, and got a bit nosy. The assistant lady was so sweet, and nice and understanding, that was nice. But for the high dollar I am paying just for vaccinations, I would like to be treated with a little more respect by the Vet. photos are of my puppy, Molly, who was the patient for shots

Brought a stray kitten in and got a full blood work/ wanted anything wrong with it diagnosed. Was told it had an infection and malnourished, but nothing else major and brought home antibiotics. They worked but a few days later he was sick again so I brought him back. Was then given the same meds and herpes was mentioned and I had to straight up ask, "are you saying he is being treated for herpes now?" I was given a yes, that is what the vet thinks is wrong. That was the first time I was even hearing that he was diagnosed with herpes- At the first appointment I was not told that nor what the effects of herpes are and that it is HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS to other cats. That he may have to take these meds for the rest of his life and it is uncurable. None of that was mentioned and I practically had to force it out. You take an animal to the vet and you expect them to plainly tell you what is wrong, how to treat it and any risks and I was not given that. My resident cat is now coughing due to the fact that I was not told that the stray had a transmittable virus that would affect my resident cats health. I did not recieve a writeup from the vet that summarized the visit OR even speak to the vet on the phone. They put my resident cat in danger and when I mentioned it on the phone I was given a 'sorry for the inconvenience'. Makes me wonder how much they cared for my animals or if the vet even looked at the cat and discussed it with the vet techs. I have never been so disappointed in a vet.
Update #1:
COINCIDENTALLY me, my dog and my other cat contracted ringworm after the vet said the kitten did not have ringworm. I have never had ringworm in my life and theres no reason my pets should. Spoke to him on the phone because a simple google search says that visual ringworm tests aren't always accurate and instead of offering to treat my new severly infected animals, he wants to take a sample of the kitten and send it to a lab and wait for 4 weeks for results to prove if he does or not- he repeated this to me ten times while I just asked him if he could treat them for it. The signs are there now and my pets shouldn't have to wait four weeks to be treated.
This is not a vet I feel I can trust to give me all the information or even the correct information. I honestly question whether he even could find ringworm if it was there. He has consistently put my pets health at risk and the only response was, "well I don't know what kind of situation you have going on there." I hope these pictures let you know.
Update #2:
After the second set of viral medication ran out, I got more from the vet and I was also offered a random anitfungal treatment for my pets (even though he says we do not have ringworm. This treatment is not specifically a treatment for ringworm). Took the kitten to another vet who said his tail "lit up like a christmas tree" with ringworm. The new vet does not doubt that that is why it is missing patches of fur. The cat, after THREE WEEKS, is STILL coughing and sneezing, and the new vet said that the antiviral medication prescribed by Howard had not helped the entire time because it is a BACTERIAL infection- he is now on Doxycyclin and doing much better. We have also been prescribed ringworm medication.
I do not know if this is because he is 90 years old, or doesn't care or whatever the heck else could have made him get this all so wrong, but I am reporting it (especially since there are so many other horror stories at his hospital). Three people, 5 dogs and two cats now have ringworm and who knows what else due to this 'vets' inability to do his job. You are putting yourself and animal at risk if you go here and he should not be allowed to practice. He failed to diagnose ringworm, a bacterial infection and put me and so many others at risk, while denying it to save himself. I. am. appalled.response / report this review -

Hello, just wanted to share our first time experience with this facility. We brought our cat Gizzy for a major shaving, I was impressed the moment I walked through the door. We felt we were more in a house and tropical setting then in a vets office. The Doc and his team are really focused and detail oriented with the animals coming in for treatment and keep you informed through out the process. I will now bring my cat here for normal routine care as his prices are so affordable and the care the animals receive while in their office is tip top. Thank You All, Colleen Moorhead

Not the place to take your pet. They where rude and unprofessional, and lack the experience of customer service. I had an emergency, and had to take my puppy all the way to el centro. They didn't even care if my puppy eas in danger. It sad when that their specialty.

If you want a professional vet service from a clean and helpful place that will take care of your pet as if they were their own DONT GO HERE I speak as a huge pet lover. Don't put your pet thru what mine is going thru.

They all seem very concerned about your animal After one and a half years with another vet Dr Howard immediately suggested a biopsy of the area Yes it was expensive BUT I really thought it was time to find out what was causing the rash I have heard many good things about Dr Howard and his staff and I feel good with our experience
