We've had our dog for 8 wonderful years, but his battle with cancer was coming to an end. We tried to hold on as long... read more as we could, but we brought him here when it was his time to go.

We went in on a Sunday and overall it was a great experience. The doctor was caring and thorough. I felt like they were... read more honest and not just trying to take money from us like you find at some vet offices. The only issue was that there was a long wait, but I completely understood since it was Sunday and they had a lot of emergencies. We will definitely be back and will make them our regular vet clinic. read less

Best vet I have ever been to! There are only 2 Emergency vets in the Santa Clarita Valley. Valencia Vet is out to pick your... read more pocket and has no empathy for what you might be going through. All Creatures is the complete opposite! The staff is beyond friendly and understanding. Prices are reasonable. They saved my dogs life! Vets and Technicians are extremely knowledgeable. My dog had pancreatitis.  The staff ran a test and had a diagnosis within the first 30 minutes. She stayed there for 36 hours and was given the meds and IV therapy that she vitally needed. We could visit and call whenever we needed and she has since made a full recovery. They gave us specific instructions to ensure our dog doesn't have another bout of pancreatitis in the future. God Bless All Creatures! read less

Multiply 5 times 2 for 10 stars. I just went to this vet because my SAR German Shepherd had a chew toy lodging in her... read more mouth that was prying her mouth open. OnStar connected me to them and they were so professional and gave me a leash to get her out of the truck. She was rushed right in and it took no time to get it out. Thank you CAMMIE AMBER AND MONICA for saving my dogs nose and jaw!!!!! This would have ended our career of saving the lives of others. I wasn't charged for taking it out of her mouth and they offered for me to wait for an appt to have her checked out. So amazing. YOU ROCK!!!! CARDA 1108. read less

I've been to All Creatures multiple times, over the course of about a year. Because I treat my animals as my children, as I'm sure... read more many of you reading this do, I'm going to be very detailed and forthcoming about my experience. Buckle up, y'all.  

The first visit, my dog got into some chicken bones. I called first, and spoke to a vet tech for about ten minutes before deciding to go in for x-rays and an exam (just before 1am). Upon arriving, I was greeted with friendly faces, simple paperwork (two pages), and less than a 10 minute wait time. After the exam and x-rays, given the small size of the bones we saw in the x-rays, I was given the option to leave her there for observation overnight, or to take her home and watch her closely. After talking it over with the doctor and doing my own research, I decided to bring her home. The prices were very up front and were shown to me before I went forward with the x-rays, and again before I made the decision to bring her home. Two x-rays, plus the exam, came out to less than $200.

Again, we visited, this time for a much more somber reason. A baby kitten we had been fostering passed away suddenly. I called them immediately, and they were very gentle and compassionate with their questions and advice. We brought her in, where we were taken to a private room after a very short wait. After she had been taken to the back room, I asked if she could be brought back, as we wanted to say another goodbye and prayer for her. They quickly obliged, and gave us another private room with dim lighting to have a moment. We were encouraged to take as long as we needed. I must say, it was one of the hardest days I've ever lived through - and I thoroughly believe it would've been much more difficult had we not gone to All Creatures. The entire staff was not only patient, gentle, understanding, and compassionate that day, but the days after, when we received a handwritten card in the mail. They also offer a very reasonably priced cremation option, with paw prints and engraved plaques. Her memory box is something I treasure to this day; the kindness of the staff is something I'll never forget.

Since then, I have visited several more additional times with two separate dogs, and each time, I have felt heard, comforted, educated, and treated fairly financially. I find the prices to be very competitive against other vets (to this day the cheapest x-rays I've seen offered at any vet). Even with non-emergencies, I've never waited more than half an hour (and only rarely that long). Usually, after 6pm, I find the wait to be 10-20 minutes to get a room, and another 10 to see the doctor, providing they aren't in surgery. Before any vaccines/x-rays/shots/medication/surgery/etc. is administered, a vet tech brings in a detailed list of the expected charges and goes over it with you. You have the option to move forward, to only do some of the treatment, or to leave.

Dr. Margarita Abalos is particularly wonderful. We've seen her on three separate occasions and my dogs have loved her (as have I). She is usually there Tuesdays. I've seen several other pet owners there in my time, and everyone seemed satisfied with their care and treatment. In all my visits, I only ever saw one unhappy customer. He was upset about his cat's care costing more than he agreed to (turned out - his wife had been told the expected cost and had signed the expected charges agreement). Still, the manager called them and the entire staff treated him with respect (even when he was very rude). Also, there is a free parking lot (with a separate back entrance for especially dire needs).

I haven't tried their grooming services, this review is specifically to their medical services.

To round it all up, I can truthfully say: I have found All Creatures in Newhall to be reasonably priced, true lovers of animals, and owners of great medical equipment/medication. If you're looking for a place who will give you follow up calls to see how your pet is doing after a visit, who sends handwritten sympathy cards when a family member crosses the rainbow bridge, who will discuss all charges with you prior to treatment, who will work with you and your pet to find the best course of treatment, who will provide helpful recommendations for other vets/services when needed, and who genuinely love and want to help animals...you've found it in All Creatures. read less

I had called so many Veterinary establishments in my area Sylmar for 3 days and could not get any help, including my Veterinarian.  My 1... read more yr old American Pit Bull had not been feeling well for a few days.  She seemed better, but got worse fast.  Thank God for these kind, caring people, that took my baby in and made him feel better.  I would refer my family and friends to them, knowing they are in great hands. read less

I am disheartened to see the negative reviews. We've brought our 2 dogs here, once each. Both were emergencies. They were so caring, attentive and... read more reassuring. As for prices, we honestly didn't even glance at the bills. Our pets were sick/injured. Could we have been billed higher than other places? Perhaps. That wasn't our concern. They took wonderful care of our pets, and while I hope we never have any other emergencies, we would bring them back here in a heartbeat. read less
