Humphrey Giacopuzzi & Associates Equine Hospital, Somis CA

My family has been using Humphrey Giacoppuzzi's for 3 generations. They've provided excellent care for our Camarillo White Horses & others. Dr. Humphrey provided excellent care for our cattle back in his day.
All of the staff has always been extremely compassionate & knowledgeable.

I've never used the services, yet when my horse had STRANGLES, the receptionist told me I was on a no service list. A few months earlier I had spent 60k in three months
trying to keep my new ottb 4
year old alive, I had two insurance policies and the vets didn't write the invoices so they would be coveted, instead I was left with a horrendous bill, a dead horse and 32k cash gone in 3 months. I'm in healthcare, and the day I choose to NOT help a person based on an unresolved insurance claim who just lost almost 100k in less than 3 months, when the horse has strangles.is the day I get out of the business. Sad reality these people put a non customer on a no service list and didn't help or respond to a horse with strangles!

All large animal vets are not the same. This is the best vet in Ventura county.

Soooo grateful for this hospital in our area. My mare was dealing with some pre-existing health issues and came in for a few days after a severe spider bite. Knowing her history they were amazing being open minded and also searching for alternative therapies. I recently had a clients horse come in for colic and a found loop around the small intestine. Our vet called it in and they were on it. A whole team came in and they worked amazingly quick. I was very impressed with there process and professionalism.

It's never easy to make the decision to let go of a beloved animal friend. We were out of options with our beautiful mare Autumn - the field vet coming to our house was out of diagnostic options. A friend recommended we trailer her to Giacopuzzi's facility in Somis to get an X-ray. Every interaction with the staff - the wonderful front desk staff, the helpful technicians, and Dr. Haig herself - helped us understand exactly what was going on with our dear girl, and what our best options were. She had a large stone in a very bad spot, and given the location of the stone, her age, and her temperament, we decided the best course was to put her down. The staff handled every moment with complete kindness and transparency - that's really what we needed in order to make such a big decision. They helped us every step of the way, gave us as much time as we needed to say goodbye, gave her a very yummy last meal, and let us stay with her after she passed to help her spirit along. Really top-notch care for both animal and humans. And through all of our tears and inability to even speak, I hope they know how much each of them was appreciated on that day. We just couldn't have made the decision - or had peace with it - without them. Thank you so, so much.

I don't often leave reviews, but really felt one was in order here. Dr. Zoe Davidson was out for my beloved retired TB about a month ago for a pretty bad colic, and she was smart, capable and nice. Then unfortunately she came out to euthanize my sweet boy a couple days ago, after 21 years with my boy (he was 34), this was one of the hardest days of my life, but Dr. Zoe was so kind, compassionate and made it go smoothly. If I ever get another horse, I'd love to have her as my vet.
