Hear From Our Pet Parents

“ Highly recommend..."

The new Murieta Pet Hospital is open, and I took my dog there this week for a Covid-overdue checkup. The staff was friendly and very knowledgeable. The vet was meticulous in his exam, and explained their SOPs very well. I am impressed with their professionalism and their care of my furry guy. I highly recommend!

- Cynthia M

“Our first visit and it was great!"

Our first visit and it was great! Everyone was so kind. Dr. P was amazing with our Bentley. He was loving, kind and thorough. So glad they’re here!

- Karen M.

“ Exceptional service and care...

I cannot recommend Dr.Sam and his staff more than I already do. They’re all so amazing. I don’t trust too many people with my dog Beau and Beau doesn’t love many people. Going here, he gets along with all the staff and they truly do feel like family. I can really feel the love they all have for their job. Beau and I leave happy every time we see the vet. Thank you Dr. Sam and staff!!

"Dr. Pietro resolved the issue within the hour.."

We were not clients of Murieta Pet Hospital at the time of our pet’s unexpected and numerous vomiting episodes of blood, etc.early one morning this week. We called MPH and left a message at 7:00AM and rec’d a call back shortly saying we could bring Henry in at 9:30AM. Dr. Pietro resolved the issue within the hour. The charges were reasonable, the advice and care excellent and the convenience of the location in RM outstanding. Most of all, we appreciated the prompt response, the kindness from the front office, Dr P. himself and, of course, the outcome.
