Arcata Animal Hospital

Very professional and kind employees. Been my choice of vets in the area for while now. Pleased with the visits each time

Had to bring my seven month old pup to them Sunday night and he stayed with them until Monday night. We think he got into rat bait. They did an excellent job of taking care of my boy and he's recovering at home doing great.

The staff are very nice and give me options under different prices when possible. We have a big German Shepherd and the vet bills are high when we go in. It's great that they do a full rundown of treatment options with prices so you can make your choice.

Just like any of the vets around though, they may not be taking new clients. There is an unfair ratio of pets-to-vets around here.

One of my chickens has been having health issues and I was having a very difficult time finding an avian veterinarian in the area. Arcata Animal Hospital has one of only two in the county yet they gladly added us to their panel and got us in for an urgent care visit very quickly. Every member of staff I interacted with was incredibly kind and helpful from my initial phone, to the visit, and even aftercare/follow up. They answered any questions or concerns promptly which was such a relief after I had her home. The clinic itself was welcoming, clean, and calming. Amelia felt like the star of her own show. I am so grateful for their practice and for the care they gave my sweet little chicken.

I really Love Arcata Animal Hospital. Speaking for Myself. The staff is Awesome & very caring & Helpful with anything I need help with getting my Cat. Tazzamarazz the care & so patient with me to find a payment plan to help pay for Tazzamarazz's Vet Appointments & Perscriptons he needs to make him feel better & me too! Dr. Joy Fox & her Nurses are So Sweet & Gentle with Tazzamarazz & He just Loves them & I do too! I feel right at home & I can talk to Dr. Joy about anything & the Staff as well. They go above & beyond duties. Tazzamarazz & I Love them All. I give them 5 Stars plus ‍

Great place. Was the first visit with my rabbit, Bun Jovi. They were very kind and professional. BJ liked the vet tech and the vet. Would recommend. Very busy place, hard to get into. If you're appointment is set weeks in advance, you'll get the occasional email with discounts on stuff. Not many places take exotic animals. This one does. The current price for getting a male rabbit fixed is $350-470. Feb 2023.

I love love love this vet office. They always take the BEST care of my animals. They have resources for those who don’t have a lot of money as well.

The so called "Doctors" in this place do not have a clue what they are doing. My dog had an ear infection and after repeated visits and almost $2000.still had an ear infection. First visit was misdiagnosed, 2nd - 6th visit were like he had never been there before and each visit was another 300$. 7th visit did cultures for an additional 570$. All just to give us a call to say they wanted to start on the same medication that they gave us the first time. (Which they tried to say we had not had before) So it seems like they don't even read their own notes. So don't waste your time just go somewhere else.

Our dog and tortoise are patients here. They make it such a welcoming experience that our pup wags his tail and is so excited to go inside when we pull up. The staff is knowledgeable and really kind.
We love it here!

I trust this facility with my fur babies! Honest, reliable and makes us feel like we are family.

Didn't notify me that the doctor was out until I drive 40 minutes to get there. Very friendly and helpful to assist with setting next appointment.

Everyone very nice, this was my first time meeting them in person due to covid. I love the way they handled Jack, he is a very skittish and fearful 2 year old cattle dog mix. He is very high energy and is a odd mixture of a very happy, playful pup, and a terrified, suspicious, abused dog. I adopted him at about 6 weeks old, he had been caught with about 20 other dogs and puppies running wild near Hoopa. He was born to a feral mom and his Vet says that she had taught him to be fearful but hadn't the time to teach him confidence and not to panic at every noise. It's taken 2 1/2 years and he is better but will probably never be completely at ease. That is why I appreciate the skill and attitude of the entire staff at Arcata Animal Hospital.

They're just swamped so had a long wait time or I'd rate them higher. Customer service was impeccable.

This place feels like the only ethical vet in Humboldt County. They still take new patients despite being booked because let’s face it, we’re still getting pandemic pets and new pets need to be seen. They actually stay open for emergencies and most important of all THEY ANSWER THEIR PHONES! McKinleyville and Sunnybrae could never haha. They took really good care of our kitty and gave us great advice. Glad to be a patient here.

Best experience ever with my dog! They were So accommodating, friendly and caring! They made sure I understood what they were doing & why! I was extremely impressed! So was my dog Hank, he gives them 4 paws up
