Arroyo Veterinary Clinic, San Lorenzo CA

5 stars! The vets and vet techs at Arroyo are so knowledgeable, kind, and caring - not only were they very helpful for a standard checkup, they were able to squeeze in one of my cats when he hurt one of his claws overnight despite their packed schedule and the fact that I had a job interview the same day. To get on my soapbox for a minute: it’s also so important to support locally-owned veterinary clinics like Arroyo! Private equity and large corporations (including Southern Veterinary Partners, Mission Veterinary Partners, and Mars Incorporated - yes, as in Mars bars and Milky Ways - which owns the Banfield Pet Hospital chain, the VCA Animal Hospital chain) are eating up local veterinary practices which hurts your pets, your wallet, and the veterinarians themselves financially and in terms of quality of care. Do your research and support local!

The team at Arroyo Veterinary Clinic was friendly, warm, caring, professional, patient, and most of all, knowledgeable. I felt very welcomed and trusted Dr. Mavi and the AVC staff immediately. My cat, Fiji, is a naturally fearful kitty and the AVC folks were very kind and helped her feel more comfortable. I worked in animal welfare for many years—the Arroyo Veterinary Clinic team is one of the best I’ve ever known. I very highly recommend them.

The staff at Arroyo Veterinary Clinic is caring, helpful and loving to all our fur babies. Thanks for all your help.

Honestly, if I was still in California I would have aggressively sued you guys for veterinary malpractice. You guys overcharged and misdiagnosed my family’s dog and cat. Do you people seriously even have hearts?

The staff at the vet clinic are very friendly and helpful! Every time I come into the clinic with my pet, we are always greeted with such upbeat energy. I’ve had nothing but positive experiences when we come in!

I recently had to switch vets due to our previous vet retiring last year. The Arroyo Vet staff are absolutely amazing and definitely care about your furrkids! I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Andre today with our old man kitty Tigger, and she was absolutely stellar! He was calm and even let them brush him and scratch his chin! (We also met with Dr. Royalty with one of our dogs, and she is super nice too!) Tigger is our last remaining kitty from the group of 6 we had over the last 17 years, and she knew just how much he means to us. Thank you for putting my mind at ease Dr. Andre and staff!

Decided to try them after the customer service went down hill at our last vet. So glad we did.
We appreciate how they took the time to explain everything. Our cat gets temperamental when his paws are touched. They worked with him and afterwards he just wanted them to pet him. We also liked that the office set up. It is very efficient to get in and out with our fur baby.

I'm a little late in writing this review since I'm busy in my professional life but I will give this veterinary clinic 5 stars. After having them take care of my cats and dogs for about 1 year, I can say that they are doing an excellent job and I can see that they truly care for my beloved pets.

When it's the pandemic, everyone owns a pet now, you live in Oakland/metro city, and every vet clinic or veterinarian in your town has a waiting list-this is how I found Arroyo Vet Clinic. Like taking care of your own health, it's always good to have a primary care physician (in this case, a vet) for your pet-someone that can track their health as a youngling to an adult. I had no problems making appointments at Arroyo Vet Clinic. Dr. Mavi was amazing and took his time with us. The team will not sell me anything I don't need, and I always felt like I had a choice. Also, this vet clinic is very reasonably priced! Sometimes I thought my bill would be more than it is, and I would be happy to see that it was less! The Dr. Mavi and the Arroyo Vet Clinic team took great care of Daisy, as well as the concerns of the pet owners. If I haven't moved out of state, I would have kept going to Arroyo Vet Clinic. Thank you for caring for Daisy for the past 2 years!
