Plaza Del Amo Animal Hospital & Pet Keeper

Yesterday we made the very tough decision to have our 17 year old cat put down. Our regular vet in Long Beach was not available, so we found this amazing clinic close to our home in Torrance. I’m so glad to have found them. They took us in the same day. Our cat had very labored breathing and was clearly suffering so it was a relief to get an immediate appointment. From the first phone call, to our wonderful vet tech, to the doctor, we were treated so kindly and with such compassion. The vet tech especially was fantastic. Tonnie might have been her name. I was fairly distraught so it was hard to focus. Anyway, she was so sweet to our cat and was so gentle with her. She explained the process and gave us time to say our goodbyes. We were able to pay our bill prior to exiting the room so we didn’t have to go through the horrible process of crying in front of everyone in the waiting area. The doctor was also so kind to us. When it was over, we had a bit more time with our cat. It was an awful, excruciatingly painful day for us, but made better by the treatment we received at this animal hospital. When we make the decision to rescue another pet, we will definitely be back.

This office is incredible; I feel like I can trust them with my dog, 10-​year-​old 90-​pound Rhodesian mix. Dr. Ghawby was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly to my senior dog. She called me for updates for his dental and gave me excellent advice for his care, including diet and supplements that could help his poor arthritic bones. She took the time to tell me how much of the supplements is necessary for Dante.
Having been a vet technician for most of my teenage years and well into college years, I felt an overall respect and friendliness from all the staff here. Their rooms were kept incredibly clean (as I know how messy they can get).
One downside is, they are rather busy (which is great because obviously, they do such a good job with our best friends), but that does not interfere with the obvious genuine care they provide our pets.
I also met with the head groomer; I believe his name is Junior. Super helpful and knowledgeable, he put my mind to ease by telling me things that are included in a basic grooming package.
The prices for everything were also very affordable, and very do-​able. When I got an estimate for places in the Northern California area, the prices were at least 3 – 4 times what I paid at Plaza Del Amo, and I’m sure the care wouldn’t be NEARLY as good as it is at Plaza Del Amo.
I know my Dante is in good hands here and only wish I lived here to access all the great amenities they offer… Or at least I wanted an animal hospital as comprehensive as this were where I am now.

I love this vet & all the staff! They’re honest & always break down all your options.

Today was $ 20 Bath Thursday at Plaza Del Amo Animal Hospital & Pet Keeper, and Ruby (Standard Poodle) was so excited, jumping and spinning around just being there for her bath. From the moment you walk in everyone super friendly and professional. I have to say that I highly recommend Plaza Del Amo Animal Hospital & Pet Keeper without any hesitation. Thank you.

We rescued a puppy and had no idea where to begin. We brought him to Plaza Del Amo and they were so helpful. The vet we met with was in no rush and explained thoroughly what we had in store for us.
Being new puppies owners on a budget they really work with you on the best financial decisions and work with the companies for fleas, vaccinations for rebates and coupons.
We have also had to leave out of town and we have left Milo at the facility which has turned out awesome. Very affordable and they truly love the animals that stay there and take very good care of them.

We like Dr Moller (the vet) however we consistently seem to have issues with the front desk area… every time we visit it takes at least 30 minutes to drop off /​pick up the cat after boarding. They want to print a ton of paperwork, make you wait, fill out forms, it seems very old school. This time when picking up our cat we watched as they tried to hand our cat to someone else picking up their pet, in the wrong carrier (!!! Good thing we were there!) That is pretty bad. They try, and its decent, but it is pretty expensive and un-​organized given the price…

I love this place, very friendly and great groomer. My cat always comes home in a good mood lol

Excellent pet hospital! Junior is the best groomer, too!
I have been very happy and excellent doctors.

I’ve been taking my pets here for the past 29+ years they have been consistently professional with some of the most highly regarded vets in the South Bay.
My dogs have always been comfortable and happy to be here.
I’ve used pretty much every one of their services and I can assure you that from the moment you walk in the compassion and enthusiasm of the staff shines through.
My puppy, Zoey loves to come in and gets very excited to see all her friends. Whether I’m taking her for daycare, vaccines or any medical procedure, Im confident I’m bringing her to the very best.

YES 5 STARS! If there was 6, 7, 8 etc., they would get those as well. My dog, Rusty, had been nauseous for 2 days and would not eat. I had been going to VCA in West LA because of need for a neurology doctor to treat encephalitis. I called these folks up in the afternoon and they gave me an appointment right away, that day. My doctor was Michelle Moeller. She looked at files form VCA and did an exam. She consulted and suggested different meds that might work better. They did. Rusty started feeling much better that evening and started to eat again. Next day brought more improvements. A BIG THANKS to Plaza Del Amo

Looking for a new groomer and a comfortable place to bring your pet? Bring them to Plaza Del Amo! I was unhappy with PV Village although we had been going there for years! It’s my 3^rd visit here and I am simply delighted with everything and everyone. Customer service (especially with Elizabeth) has been helpful and feel like I can trust them with my pet. The results with (Jr.) the groomer I was incredibly happy with. I was looking for a place just like this! My dog can be a little hard to deal with but he knew exactly what to do and I’m so happy with the services provided.

They are the best! Very friendly and caring for your
animals. I’m very comfortable leaving them for boarding and my dogs like coming. You can truly trust them with your animals and I’ve been coming for over 10 years.

We have been coming here for over 10 years. Staff and doctors always provide the best care and customer service!!!

I did a lot of research and inquiry about finding a good fit for Bert the dog. Beginning with the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) site, I ended up finding Plaza Del Amo.
This was Bert’s first wellness visit since we adopted him several months ago. From the very first phone call, Elizabeth was so helpful, friendly and professional. Her follow up email was fast and the sign up for the pet portal was so easy and convenient. I was able to fill out my registration form online which was super easy.
Every single person that we met was so nice. Dr. Benton was very good with Bert and explained «everything» so clearly. Dawn the technician handled him well and he remained his charming self for the entire visit. Lisa, Lisa, Megan… everyone that we met while on the tour (they have luxury boarding suites too!) was so nice and helpful.
Approved by AAHA, conveniently located, easy parking, nice curb appeal, clean offices, choices in boarding, grooming, financial wellness plan, GREAT STAFF sum up to a happy dog and happy human. :)

So far, this place has saved the life of my cat using wisdom, technology and high quality educated vets and staff.
Every level of this facility has well trained and highly capable staff that have mastered emergency to routine without a hitch.
Dr. Benton, the vet in charge of my herd is second-​to-​none. She takes a role that only a highly qualified top notch vet can take. In her absence, Dr. Gharbawi takes over, using a state-​of-​the-​art electronic filing system that allows a seamless process of treatment in the event one doctor is unavailable.
The front office takes a beating from a wave of concerned and tense clients who are putting their fur kids in the care of a doctor. I don’t know all of their names, but I can not express my gratitude enough to each one of them.
They take an Eastern and Western to veterinary care (based on your requests). They board pets and there are these two tein sisters there (Lisa and Raquel) that will watch your pet at your house if you are away. They are extremely trustworthy and do an amazing job.
They also have grooming services. The groomer, Junior has been employed there for years and serves as a staple for many clientele. He always does a great job and when my extremely hyper dog sees him, he is overjoyed. If you find a groomer that dogs are happy to see, hang onto that person. Junior is definitely one of those people.
They have on site lab facilities which helps A LOT. It speeds things along and you get answers in minutes vs days at other places.
I am really glad I have been able to have my ‘kids’ at PDAH.
I am a customer as long as I have a pet.

Plaza Del Amo is a superior animal hospital and Dr. Mueller is a GREAT vet. I was very impressed that she took the time to explain the options and once a decision was made, she explained in detail how the meds work (and what to look for in the future).
Pet Keeper goes the extra mile, as my furry friend is anti-​social (with other dogs). Despite being a handful, they make her feel welcome and she loves the staff!

I have been bringing my pets here for years, the staff is super friendly, my pets loved Dr. Hoag and when she moved I thought I would have to go back to square one, but it turns out they absolutely love Dr. Gharbawy. She’s super sweet and gentle with them. Luna wags her tail the entire time we are here!

The office staff (Elizabeth & Megan) at Plaza Del Amo Animal Hospital & Pet Keeper are very pleasant, patient, and helpful. Yoshi, my Boston Terrier; and Xan, my Poodle mix overall visits are in a positive environment during exams, lab work, and follow-​up visits. Dr. Brent Dastrup & Dr. Michelle Moeller care for my dogs and do an excellent job when guiding me on how best to keep my dogs healthy and happy.

I take my dog Molly to Dr. Benton. She is so caring and explains everything to me. Molly had to have surgery and she recommend a surgeon to me and she is doing very well. I love this veterinary hospital.
I also board Molly with Pet Keepers. They take excellent care of her and attention. I feel very comfortable boarding her.
She is very dear to me and my family. I highly recommend Plaza Del Amo Animal Hospital for all services.

My pup got his stitches out and I came with many other questions about our new rescue. Everyone is friendly and so willing to help you get your answers. I believe we found our vet office for our pup.
It did smell pretty bad when I went. but it’s probably because a dog had an accident right before we came. My family said it is always clean in there.
Also, it is a little hidden. Once you turn into the street across from the hospital, it is by businesses and a dog hotel. Plenty of parking.
