By far one of the best specialties in town. Worth the drive if not. All the front staff, technicians, and doctors are genuinely compassionate and want to give you the best medicine possible. They’re available to help you and your pets... 24/7!Specialty does not mean cheap but they do what they can to meet a fair price as any other specialty. Highly recommend for all of your pets needs above general practice. Not only is their ER team superb but they also have a CT, Exotics, Surgery, Internal Machine, Critical Anesthesia Dentals and Cardiology with rumors of others such as Ophthalmology and Oncology.If you’re looking to save lives, ask for info on their blood donation program that helps to give back to your community! Weekends can be busy but the staff is extremely helpful and triage is not a race you want to win. Be kind and know they’re striving to give you and your loved ones the best.read more

Absolute angels every single one of them. They helped calm my anxiety as minimum as it could be with a severely sick pet. My rabbit choked & has had some respiratory issues following. They are super accommodating & their hospitality is top... notch. I loved every doctor, tech & staff we worked with. I couldn’t say enough good things about them. We are so truly grateful for what they do every single day with the brightest, positive mindset. 💗 thank you from the bottom of our heart. -Margo, Stephon, Hannah & Luke.read more

We set an appointment for urgent care same week and our little blue nose did wonderfully. Nurses & Doctor were very kind, direct and honest. I was presented with two options of care that would work best for us, and we were able to schedule... removal on the same day. It was a lovely experience. Everyone was really nice to my pittie & I enjoyed the artwork in the rooms !read more

I am very thankful for Evolution Vet Specialists after taking my pup, Rosie, in on June 22. Everyone was very kind and helpful, especially Parker at check-in and the numerous vet techs and doctors that saw us and did their best to make... sure Rosie was well cared for. Luckily Rosie didn’t have anything too serious, but will definitely come back in the future if we ever do need emergent care!read more

My service pup Zola was very out of it one afternoon and it lasted til the morning. She wasn't eating, drinking, not even getting excited to go out. Something was wrong, we looked on Google and found evolution vet specialists, hoped in the... car and left. They helped us a lot and checked her on everything needed. My baby is now back to her old self and I am so thankful! Thank you guys! Wonderful friendly staff, y'all are great. Thank you!read more

My Pup and I came to evolution vet services yesterday because she had gotten some thing in her eye, and was unable to open it and the swelling, all of the staff was very warm and welcoming and made my pup feel comfortable, they took her... back and determined that she had an ulcer that formed likely from dirt. They took the time with us and explained everything and gave me an antibiotic to help prevent infection. After a day of being on the medicine she already looks so much better! Thank you for taking good care of my fur baby 🙂read more

They are truly amazing compassionate people! 👼 true Angels! We brought our COCO in last night our 5 year old Yorkshire terrier , me and my husband, both so stressed out and emotional.She’d been getting worse in the last year, and... the last few days have been so emotional worrying over her, so we FINALLY took her in. We’d never been there, no one’s reversed them, we just looked them up and went there! The girl @ the front was SO COMPASSIONATE and kind and made us feel very welcomed and safe. The doc was amazing too. Very informative. Listened. Actually listened and I felt CARED about what was going on. She also put our mind at ease with everything going on. Now we know what steps we need to take with COCO and our minds are at complete ease. Thank you so much! 🙏🏼❤️read more

I was so impressed with this clinic, I can't recommend them enough. I had to take my pug in at 1am on a Tuesday and they quickly accommodated me and jumped into action immediately. The entire team there was incredibly efficient,... professional, and most of all - unbelievably thoughtful. They even sent me a card in the mail with personalized messages from the whole team sending their condolences. I've been to other urgent clinics around town and none of them compare to Evolution, this is the only clinic I will go to moving forward and the only clinic I will recommend to others. Thank you again!read more

Came to the ER at Evolution today with my little one, Mouse, due to lameness in her hind leg. I'm beyond pleased with the care she (we) were treated with. Everyone here is friendly and the vibe is awesome. I'm pretty critical when it comes... to who can be trusted when it comes to care of a loved one, and I was definitely feeling at ease with the staff and facility. It's easy to see that they truly care for the pets they see. Thank you all so much for help. You're appreciated 🙏 I totally reccomend Evolution for emergency/ urgent care!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐read more

Dr. Jenni Woods (emergency physician) is absolutely amazing! We brought our 5mo old puppy, Hazel, in for a dental emergency after hours and Dr. Jenni took wonderful care of us, as well as the techs and front desk staff. They were busy with... other more critical cases before seeing us, so our wait was pretty long, but it was worth the wait. Dr. Jenni was able to repair our puppy’s tooth in addition to making sure she was comfortable and not in pain. Thank you so much, EVS, for providing such wonderful care to our sweet puppy. Special shout-out to Dr. Jenni for her amazing expertise and bedside manner - she explained everything thoroughly and was very knowledgeable and caring. Thank you again!!read more

Best vet experience I've had in my life emergency or otherwise. An accident happened with no symptoms but they checked her and made sure she was okay anyways for the sake of her health and the sake of a worried mother. Geoffrey, Miss Moss,... and Dr. Pen were laid back, fantastic, and funny. Opposed from the amazingly genuine staff, they made my baby feel extremely comfortable. This will always be my go-to and my only recommendation to others. Thank you so, so very much again for making my night easier. You guys are absolutely amazing.read more

Wonderful place! Brought my dog here after another vet wanted tons of money for unnecessary treatments. The staff at Evolution are amazing! My dog loved them and he hates everyone. He was happy and got what I needed for a quarter of the... price. Plus some great advice on his food, got the new stuff after leaving our visit and he loves it! Win! Thank you so much for how you treated me and Hugo. I will recommend y'all to everyone!read more

My kitty started getting sick on Friday night of a holiday weekend and couldn't keep anything down by Sunday, so I felt that I couldn't wait until business hours on Tuesday to take her somewhere. A closer clinic (which had a 4-6 hour wait)... recommended Evolution, and it was worth the drive from Westminster to see them! We were shown into a cat-only exam room almost immediately upon arrival; there was still a wait (understandable since she was stable) but it was so nice to wait in an exam room so that we didn't have the added stress of dealing with other people/pets coming and going through the waiting room. The staff provided wonderful and consistent communication throughout our visit, and also emailed all test results to my normal vet. I'm very grateful for their attentive care to my kitty and also to me (human snacks in the waiting area!) during the long night. Highly recommended!read more

I want to start this off by saying that I RARELY trust a vet in the first visit. I was blown away by the care my dog received at Evolution. I'm extremely careful with who handles and provides care for my dog. I just moved from Thornton and... my regular vet didn't have any availability so a friend recommended Evolution. My dog was struggling and I knew I had to get him seen that day. The vet who saw Newt (Woods was her name) was absolutely incredible. She provided his care with me in the room which is extremely important to me when working with a new vet. She explained in great detail what she was doing and what her thoughts on the situation were. We talked about the next steps and she was honest about what she would do in my situation (massive respect for that!). I left feeling relieved and Newt had a great experience since I was able to provide small bits of boiled chicken during the new things he hadn't gone through before. So so so grateful to Evolution for giving me peace of mind and providing the best care for my dog.read more

Geoffrey and Dr. Penn took fantastic care of my my (not so) little boy. They were kind, careful, knowledgeable, and took the time to answer my questions and ensure I understood what was happening throughout our visit. I can tell they were... good to him because when they brought him back from the exam and we were waiting for test results, he walked up to both of them and nuzzled as well as begged for pets. In fact, everyone I interacted with was wonderful. I highly recommend Evolution.read more

Evolution was absolutely fantastic in taking care of my dopey Doberman who decided to try and eat something inedible and had to get emergency surgery. We were able to get help much quicker than we anticipated - given the high-volume /... low-staff problems that vet clinics are sadly experiencing everywhere. They were very compassionate, detailed the whole procedure, answered my (many, many) questions, kept me up-to-date on how the procedure went and followed up on her well-being. Everyone we talked to was thorough, extremely kind and very helpful. I highly, HIGHLY recommend them for emergency or routine care.read more

Their new scheduled urgent care appointment option is amazing! If you’re in a pinch with an urgent need but your regular vet may not be able to fit you in or handle the situation this is a great way to go! Entire staff was extremely... helpful (even at the ripe hour of 5am) and my dog liked them all in her own special way. Highly recommend for any variety of veterinary needs you might have!read more

On Saturday night, 8/7/21, our 10-y.o. pug mix was reverse sneezing a lot and after 20-30 minutes of this we noticed blood coming from one of his nostrils. We took him to Evolution Veterinary for emergency care at 9:30 p.m. Although... they were quite busy with several critical cases, they quickly made sure our dog was stable and took us to a private exam room with a television we could watch (though we didn’t). The staff were helpful and compassionate throughout the experience. We waited for maybe 45 minutes to see a vet technician, and the staff checked on us a couple of times to make sure we were okay. Our vet tech, Tabitha, was great, and took good care of our pup.read more

Great clinic for fur-balls! We were referred to this office by another vet across town (because the first vet was too busy). Our dog, Chicken, had an infection on her paw that needed attention. We walked in to this office without an... appointment, but were still admitted. The front office staff were friendly and honest that there would be a long wait before the doctor could see us. They checked on us multiple times over the course of the wait with snacks and updates, which we appreciated. The doctor was very kind to our hurt puppy and gave us a thorough write-up on how to continue treatment. Chicken is doing much better and is back to her squirrel patrol duty. Thank you again for taking care of our pooch!!read more

I rushed my 11month old Great Dane in for several issues.She was not eating or drinking, and had bad diarrhea and vomiting.The staff here quickly admitted her and started monitoring her, and giving her fluids. They were able to take... x-rays and determine the issue she was going through.They took great care of her over the next 24hrs, and kept me updated on her condition.They were up front with what needed to be done and estimates on cost. They came in under budget, and had a very good plan for how to proceed after I brought her home.She was very comfortable with the staff and facilities, and is doing much better now.read more

A really great experience to come here for an emergency visit, despite the circumstances. The staff were all very understanding and communicated clearly throughout the process — upfront pricing, flexible treatment options, and I believe... they offered payment plan options, as well.It’s always expensive and stressful to have to visit an emergency clinic with your beloved pet, though it was a bit less expensive here. Dr. Raj I believe was our clinician, and she was very thoughtful when I had questions about different blood tests. She took the time to walk through everything.I will definitely come back to them for future diagnostic/surgery/lab work knowing how well they handle their late-night ER patients.read more

Lil Mr. Oreo and Ms. Brownie are mine and my husbands family. Brownie started not being able to keep food down at all. Our regular vet Highlands Animal Hospital (Who are also awesome BTW) But they were too busy at the moment and Brownie... needed help. When another vet recommends a fellow vet, that speaks volumes. We first called and explained that we had been in conversations with our regular vet but they were full and we needed help. Evolution had us come in right away and Brownie had some x rays and blood work. Luckily it turned out to basically being dehydrated. However, they kept Brownie over night and made sure she was OK. All the staff and the doctors were amazing. Brownie was in really capable hands. The care was not cheap, but they are very up-front with the costs and worth every penny. Tabitha, Brownies' tech even took a picture of Brownie and sent it to us to show her worried brother Oreo that she was OK. I hope we never have a need to go back, but if our dogs need urgent care, you better believe we won't hesitate. Thank you Evolution Vetread more

My experience was very good. They diagnosed my dog, charged a fair price, met my expectations, and went above and beyond for my boy. They are still doing covid precautions, which is fair, just letting everyone know to expect to wear a... mask, have minimal contact with them inside, and they take your temperature. I was pleased with the whole experience. And I'm not easy to please! Thanks again Kim!read more

Had an emergency with my animal and the staff was absolutely incredible! Hours and location was convenient, not a long wait, and the staff was compassionate to the issue and gave my fur baby the gold standard in veterinary care! She has... been healing great since under their diligent take home instructions. My first health scare with my older animal and I am SO GLAD I went here! They were also very careful and considerate about their COVID restrictions. Reasonably priced for the amount and standard of care. I will be back if need be, but hopefully not any time soon! 🙂read more

Evolution is a great option for our pets when our regular vet is closed. Recently we needed to take one of our dogs to Evolution due to a puncture wound at the base of his tail. They treated the wound and sent him home with antibiotics. ... The wound cleared up quickly. Their staff is always kind and caring to our pets and to us. Their Vets very knowledgeable. This was our second visit to Evolution and we would not hesitate to take either of our dogs their in the future. Evolution is a GREAT EMERGENCY VET!read more

We were unfortunately forced to take our young cat Jekyll in for what turned out to be a life-threatening urinary blockage multiple times. After the third time, Evolution Vet recommended surgery which would (hopefully) permanently correct... the problem. Over the weeks we worked with Evolution Vet, they were consistently communicative, understanding, patient and encouraging. Five stars does not nearly convey how much we appreciate them for saving our cat and dealing with our five-times-a-day phone calls with grace and compassion. Thank you to the entire incredible staff!read more

My 14 year-old dog Ralph was diagnosed with congestive heart failure a week ago today. My vet put him on some medication, but over the next few days, his condition started declining. I knew I wanted to have him seen by a cardiologist, but... I thought I'd have to wait until the following week to do so, assuming anyone could even fit us in. I did some googling, and came across Evolution Veterinary Specialists. They told me I could bring Ralph in right away, and that they could consult with their cardiologist (who wasn't in at the time) if necessary.I dropped Ralph off with them shortly after the call. It was the first time he had ever stayed at a vet overnight, and I was a wreck. They called me with regular updates, and every time my phone rang, I would panic, but all of the doctors and technicians were so upbeat and optimistic. After two nights, several tests, a pulmonary hypertension diagnoses, and some medication adjustments, I was finally able to pick Ralph up and bring him home.It's been a little over 24 hours, and I can't believe how much better he is doing. It's like night and day. He's back to his old self (though a bit more sleepy), his appetite is coming back, and he seems so much happier. One week ago today, I didn't know if we'd still have him around past the weekend, so I am beside myself.It's also worth mentioning that Ralph is pretty aggressive with anyone who isn't me. I always worry about taking him to new doctors, because he's not an easy patient. They were able to help him despite his grouchy demeanor, and that really means a lot. Ralph's care was not inexpensive, but it was worth every penny to have more quality time with him.read more

I became aware of Evolution Veterinary Specialists conducting a blind study to determine the effectiveness of various medications for congestive heart failure in dogs. My dog is part of the study.

My dog has responded well to the medication, and it feels good to participate in a study that will help other dogs too.All the folks there have been kind and professional in all my dealings with them. My impression is that the hospital and staff are an excellent place for care and treatment of our fur babies.read more

Evolution Veterinary Specialists are absolutely outstanding. As much as I don't want to be bringing my kitties in for emergency care, I've used Evolution three times over the past few months. Their staff is knowledgeable, compassionate,... and always there for me. The fact that they are open 24/7 gives me great comfort when I need it the most. Dr. White is fabulous. I wish she could be our regular vet! But very grateful she is there when we're worried and in crisis. Thank you!!!read more

I had an emergency after two of my dogs got into it one evening. I hurried my more injured dog in around 8pm on a Friday night and was seen immediately! I originally went to Alameda East, but they informed me how busy they were and... recommended Evolution. I am very pleased with the recommendation and will be letting all of my pet parent friends know that this is the best spot for an emergency situation. The staff was so accommodating to my dog and my needs and were super friendly with the whole process. On top of all that, it was not a crazy expensive visit either!If you are in need of a wonderful, honest, well priced veterinary clinic, I HIGHLY recommend Evolution.read more

I moved to the area about 3 months ago and due to COVID many primary vets are not taking on new clients at this time, so I was referred to Evolution when I called one vet about my dog (Reggie, 2 y/o shepherd mix) who we suspected had... kennel cough.Evolution was able to get us in right away you could tell they were dedicated to keeping both the animals and the people coming in to their building safe.Because of the symptoms I mentioned over the phone, the vet tech had me come in through a separate entry to avoid Reggie contacting any other dogs/spreading his cough. As for me, they were sure to clearly explain all the social distancing measures they were taking in order to ensure their staff and visitors. The room was very clean and the vet tech (I forget her name but she was so nice!) and the vet (Dr. Liz!) were extremely kind and thorough.Reggie is my first dog ever and this was the first time we've had to come in for something beyond vaccinations and a regular check up. I was so grateful to the team at Evolution for encouraging me to express all of my questions and concerns and to clearly walk through their answers.I recommend Evolution to anyone who is looking for quality care for their fur baby!read more

Thank you so much to the kind, caring and compassionate humans at EVS. Our Mazie Moo was given a fighting chance with their expertise and I was guided along the way with some very tough decisions. Dr. McGuire was amazing, in the tough... phone call to myself to meeting my husband at the front door at 11pm just so he could say hi to our pup. Expectations were clear and we knew she was in the best, knowledgeable hands. A special thank you to the nurse who spent an hour explaining, planning and teaching me how to care for my moo at home, your kindness did not go unnoticed.As I did many times, I broke down at one point and said "I'm sorry I'm crying, I just love her so much and want to do what's right". The response from Dr. McGuire was exactly what I needed to hear to make my decision, she said "never apologize for loving you animal". I can't tell you how much we appreciate you giving us more time with our pup! She is the light of our lives!read more
