Simi Valley Animal Hospital

I love Doctor Stirwalt DVM! I think I was her 5th client so I have been with her since she started her practice! She is kind and so smart; cutting edge; most of all she loves my dogs like her own. I highly recommend Dr Stirwalt and Simi Valley Animal Hospital!

Dr Stirewall is a terrific dr for your fur babies. She has ALWAYS shown concern, consideration and competency for my dogs. Never let's me down and I own breeds that have a lot of issues. Definitely a great vet with an awesome office staff. I've notice three other reviewers complain about Dr. Stirewald being racist.... That is a bold face lie. I don't know what agenda these three individuals have, but it is not even close to being the truth.

My dog got bit and was initially treated at another vet. The next day she had signs of infection that were really concerning. After calling around all of Simi (including VSEC and other "emergency" hospitals) no one could take her. Once I called Simi Animal Hospital, the front desk staff was very attentive and heard my concerns and worry. They got me in immediately and took great care of my dog. The front staff, doctor, and technicians are all amazing and you could tell they truly care about animals. They have an amazing laser therapy service to help with the healing process and I could not recommend it more! My dog is back to her acting herself, eating and drinking and myself and my entire family is so grateful to have found this place!

The staff here is truly wonderful and saved my dog’s life after she was attacked by another dog. Very grateful to the professionalism and kindness I was shown during this emergency. Thank you for helping Gypsy! 🐾

A few days ago, I discovered a lump in my elderly (16yo) dog’s lip. Our regular vet was booked out for over a week so I made a next day appointment at Simi Valley Animal Hospital. The staff were very nice and efficient. The vet informed us that our dog most likely has an oral melanoma/cancer mass. The vet did not ask what we’d like to do moving forward and assumed that we wanted $600 worth of tests done (to confirm the type of mass and a blood test). When we said that we do not want any tests done, that we just want to keep our dog at home, the vet said “so you want [to do] nothing?” and quickly ended the call. It felt like she was trying to make us feel bad for not getting the tests to confirm what she had just told us. Additionally, during our visit we were billed for a senior wellness exam. When we got home, I noticed a large 1 cm tall bump in my dog’s ear. Something I feel that the vet should have seen during the wellness exam.
