What recent reviews say

Dog and cat owners consistently credit Dr. Jen Tucci with restoring mobility and quality of life in aging, injured, or neurologically compromised pets through acupuncture, chiropractic work, laser therapy, and rehabilitation. Anxious animals relax and cooperate during her treatments; even dogs with long histories of vet stress seek her out.

Her practice emphasizes understanding the root of pain rather than quick fixes. Owners report significant improvements in dogs recovering from spinal surgery, managing degenerative joint disease, and dealing with unexplained injuries that conventional vets could not resolve. The office itself lacks the clinical smell typical of veterinary clinics, and pricing is described as fair given the depth of care.

Praised for
  • knowledgeable healer focused on chronic pain and mobility
  • gentle approach with anxious or difficult animals
  • thorough consultations and clear communication
  • pleasing office environment

Dr. Bob's Vet Shop

4.8(104)✓ Verified

Most reviews praise Dr. Bob's attentiveness, affordability, and genuine care. Long-term clients report successful dental work and recovery support at competitive prices. However, serious complaints centre on failure to communicate or act on blood test findings, missed diagnoses of progressive conditions, and rude front desk staff that undermined trust for multiple reviewers. The business operates cash-only and appears to invest time in exams and relationships. Recent five-star reviews highlight his patience and expertise. Yet the pattern in negative reviews suggests inconsistent follow-up on concerning test results and slow response to worsening symptoms, raising questions about care continuity.

Sploot Veterinary Care - Belmar

4.8(456)✓ VerifiedPublishes prices

Staff create a calm, welcoming experience that puts owners and nervous pets at ease. Veterinarians explain treatment options clearly without pressure, walk through costs upfront, and genuinely invest in pet outcomes. Extended hours mean urgent same-day appointments are possible. One reviewer flagged a major discrepancy between a phone estimate for tooth extraction (600-1000 dollars) and the in-office quote (2300-4200 dollars), raising concerns about pricing transparency. Care spans wellness, surgery, dental work, and emergency visits. Named staff like Dr. Sylvia Berns, Dr. Parker, and Kortnee appear repeatedly in positive reviews. Reviewers consistently note affordable pricing relative to expectations, though the outlier complaint suggests dental procedures warrant a careful cost discussion before committing to work.

Alameda Veterinary Clinic

Over six years in the community, Alameda Vet earns trust through staff who listen, treat pets gently, and follow up by phone. Dr. MacKenzie, Dr. Howard, Dr. Haleigh, and techs like Stephanie create a calm environment where nervous dogs relax and seniors thrive. Surgery, dental work, and diagnostics run alongside genuine care; even end-of-life visits get blankets and ceremony. Prices stay reasonable for the service level, and new ownership has kept the clinic's reputation intact.
