Dr. Martinez and his staff are angels are earth. We had experiences with both of our cats about a month apart, where in each instance, Dr. Martinez quickly identified significant health issues, walked us through all of the options, answered every question clearly, and ultimately helped us with "making the decision" (when the time came). Dr. Martinez quite literally held our hand through it all and took as much time with us as we needed in every decision. Everyone we interacted with was extremely knowledgeable, treated our cats as if they were their own, and had amazing sympathy and compassion. My gratitude far exceeds any rating system, and I will recommend Urgent Paws to anyone that will listen.

I recommend without hesitation Urgent Paws for your pet’s urgent care needs. It’s wonderful to have a facility that’s a step down in care from a full-on pet hospital - and it’s staffed by extremely dedicated people. I had returned from work to find my cat limping and Urgent Paws quickly got to the source of the injury. @grateful

I took my dog, Dior, to Urgent Paws yesterday, and I’m so glad I did! The staff took great care of her and treated her with so much kindness and attention. One of the nurses was especially attentive to Dior, which made me feel reassured throughout the visit. They regularly checked in with us to see how everything was going, and I really appreciated that they even followed up the next day to see how Dior was doing. It’s clear that the team genuinely cares about their patients and their owners. I’m very grateful for the care Dior received and would absolutely recommend Urgent Paws to anyone who needs urgent veterinary care for their dogs or cats. Thank you to the entire team for taking such good care of my girl! ❤️🐾

We took our cat, Dante, here after he went potty outside of his litter box where I discovered he had a parasite. We made an appointment for 10:00 pm. Sam helped us get settled into the exam room. She was so good with Dante. Dr. Wells saw Dante, and provided us with some treatment options and testing. (I did call my friend who is also a vet and explained to her the situation and she said everything that the Dr. Wells suggested is what she would she would suggest for treatment.) We ended up taking Dante back the next day after my boyfriend and I could not get Dante to take his pill. Dante was seen by a vet tech, Victoria, and she got him to take that pill in under 10 seconds. Dr. Wells, Sam, and Victoria all had an excellent bedside manner. All of them were so professional and caring. Dante is doing much better now. I would take my pets here anytime. 10/10.

I truly enjoyed our experience here this evening. I wasn't quite sure how it worked and never heard of this place but we gave it a go because our vet was closed until Monday. We signed in online before we got there. When we arrived there was only one other family ahead of us. We were greeted and we signed into the kiosks and began to fill out our forms. Before we could start we were directed to a room. All the rooms were very clean and mostly windows so you can see everywhere. Kelsie was our RVT and was so sweet. She took vitals and was very gentle with our dachshund. She explained how everything would go and shortly after she saw us the vet came and examined our baby. He had a double ear infection and they help clean and show us how to administer medication at home. They even allowed me to hold him and participate when we were called into the main examination room for cleansing his ears. We felt so comfortable and my weiner dog did so well. I've never been able to be with our pet when they get taken into the back for a procedure. It was a wonderful experience. I would definitely recommend and go back to. It was also not overly priced for it being urgent.

The veterinarian and staff were so compassionate and patient with my dog. They truly listened to my concerns and took the time to help ease my dog’s nerves, which meant so much to me. Their kindness made a stressful visit feel much more comfortable for both of us. I’m grateful for the care we received and highly recommend this wonderful team!

This place is really good! Yesterday was my first time there. Here are some highlights: 1) Scheduling - I got in the same day, no waiting - the website let me choose an available appointment time, down to the half hour. 2) Modern and clean facility - I got a feline specific room with bird noises playing to help distract my new cat. The treatment area was open for me to see, not hidden behind a wall. 3) Very friendly and incredible attention to the customer - I just lost another cat of 16 years and dreaded having to go back to a vet. So much of this was made easier and painless because I wasn't waiting for hours. That's Rex, my newly adopted cat, in their cat room. The plant is not real, and just like the rest of the room, was made safe in case he was scared and ran.

I made an appointment for UrgentPaws but arrived 15 minutes early. I was helped right away and was brought into a private room. The environment was very calm and the whole staff was very knowledgeable and caring towards my dog. I was helped by an RVT named Jasmine who was kind, personable, and professional. While I hope my dogs will not need urgent care visits soon, I am so happy to be near such a wonderful clinic.

UrgentPaws in Thousand Oaks, was so welcoming from the start. I brought my two cats in today for two separate issues and the staff treated them like queens :) Jeannette, the vet-tech, and her team were very thorough and put me at ease during my visit. Dr. Martinez was exceptional with my girls and explained everything to me. He did not rush the process at all. He was very patient, and answered every question I had. I had a very pleasant experience at UrgentPaws, and my cats are recovering from their issues well. I’m very happy with the services I was provided. Thank you!!! Thank you!!!!
