Last weekend I had to take my dog in for emergency surgery and didn't really have a choice, because my regular Veterinary, Dr Yocam at the South side Animal Hospital closes at 12 noon on Saturdays. So I take my dog to Alta Vista and the staff gets to work pretty quickly. I was told they will take blood and ex rays and call me back. My phone rings and the Doc says to me, i have to perform immediate surgery or your dog will not make it past the night. Turns out my dog had a septic stomach and tape worms had perforated his intestines and caused infection. The dog had surgery that night and had to stay at the hospital for two nights. Grand total came out to little over $2,800.00. This was a bit expensive and If Dr Yocam over at the South side Animal Hospital, would of administered the treatment, I probably would of spent half. This place did good job on saving my pet, but the prices are high.
