We have been using the Nipomo Dog and Cat Hospital for well over 18 years. Each one of their staff has been fantastic and empathetic with us and our pet family. They have provided excellent one to one care. They are receptive to questions posed and they treat their customers exactly how I expect to be treated. We are very blessed to have this business/family in our neighborhood. Thank you!

Update: I was very sad the day I found out that Dr. Stamp was gone. She was always so caring and compassionate. I brought in one of my critters and met with one of the new veterinarians, and it just wasn't the same. I tried out a couple of competing vets. Something was just missing. I made an appointment back at ND&CH for Frank, the Yorkie in my photos. He was having some respiratory and allergy issues. The very second that Dr. Mcveigh introduced herself, I felt like everything was alright. She had such a calming effect. A few weeks later, on trip back from Idaho, Frank started getting really sick. We got home around 11 pm, and we went to Arroyo Grande emergency hospital. They wanted to do a few procedures, but I really wanted to bring him to Doc Mcveigh. She met with us early the next day and did some tests on Frank. She told us that we could do some things, but she was honest with us and explained that it would only prolong the suffering. We made the painful decision to put him out of his misery. That's where she switched from Dr. Mcveigh to Sheri Mcveigh, concerned pet owner. She was with us through the whole process, crying along with us. She gave us one of Frank's pawprints to take home. We brought Frank home with us in a beautiful little casket they prepared for us. A couple of weeks later, I received a hand-written note expressing her condolences I just can't say enough good about Sheri. And I finally met someone who loves animals as much or more than I do. Original review: From the on-time appointments and front-desk cheerful faces to the excellent and caring veterinarians, this is where we've taken all of animals for many years. We've been there for anything from itchy butts to major surgery and wouldn't trust our four-legged children to anybody else.

This is a great veterinary hospital. The staff is kind and professional. We took our dog there for her entire life (10 years). We recently had to make the difficult and painful decision to put her to sleep. The staff was extremely caring, showing compassion and competence throughout the entire process. If I ever get another dog, and I'm still living on the Central Coast, this is where I'll go for veterinary services

Loved the Vet shes so smart. And kind so was her assistance. Very clean nice place. She's our new Vet now!!

We are the type of pet owners who supply most of the care needed ourselves for our pets and livestock. We usually only go to the veterinarian for surgeries and potential emergency situations due to budget and convenience. Nipomo Dog and Cat is the only vet office we use. The staff are open minded, empathic and care more about the best result than making the most money. An example of this was about 9 years ago when I took my Jack Russel in who had just sucked a fox tail up his nose. He was sneezing uncontrollably and blood was coming out of his nostril. They got us in immediately and due to budget, agreed to try to extract it without sedation. Within 5 minutes they had it out! Not many offices would even attempt that. I appreciate them tremendously and trust them with all of my four legged kids.

Had to take my daughter's baby tito in to get checked out the staff was super friendly the vet she was awesome im definitely going back whenever lil man is sick hopefully not too soon thank you everyone who works there and helped me and my daughter out...one thing for sure no more table scraps for lil man

I called with an urgent care issue and was told quite sharply to go some place else. They don’t move appointments around for people. I’ve never seen a vet not accommodate urgent care issues before but I wasn’t about to argue. Tells me they’re a cold, uncaring vet office. So I did what was suggested and went elsewhere.

I had to make the difficult decision to put my 17 year old cat to rest. Dr. Devault and staff were absolutely amazing. So kind, compassionate and supportive. I will be forever grateful for the care of my fu baby and myself during this process. If you are looking for a team of loving professionals I highly recommend them.

Enjoyed the pet and human friendly staff. Took my cats to get neutered and spayed for $20 each. This is possible due to donations to help with this cause. Such a great opportunity!

We've been using Nipomo Dog & Cat Hospital for the past 6 years and they have provided excellent care for our 2 elderly cats and dog. Dr. DeVault, Medical Director, is our current Veterinarian and she is a pleasure to work with, always looking for the simplest solution and ways to minimize the cost of any treatment. The front office, medical technicians and rest of the team are also very good, friendly and compassionate. And when we need them the most they always try and fit us in.

My review is not based on the doctor because I did not get that far but it’s more to inform doctors of their front staff as I would want to know if I was running a business. I am moving to the area and Seeking new vets for my dog who has epilepsy. Treatment currently is medication and acupuncture. I called Nipomo Dog & Cat Hospital. Online it says they offer acupuncture. As soon as the phone is answered no one greats me or tells me they are putting me on hold…they instantly just do. I thought, that’s weird but wasn’t a big deal. The front desk girl picks up the phone after some time and I asked about cost of acupuncture (initial visit and follow up visits) and explained my dogs current tx. She said “we don’t really do that here so I don’t know that the doctor will do acupuncture but the initial appointment would be $82.50 if you want see. I said “why would I make an appointment if you’re telling me you don’t really do that here”. She said “yeah it’s up to the doctor and I can’t give you pricing for treatment”. I responded “clearly this is not a fit, and said thank you.” This is more to inform staff if you offer these services to clarify with your front desk. When I thought I was moving to SLO they were able to provide me clear information on initial and follow up for acupuncture and if they didn’t offer service they new with certainty.

I have been very pleased with our pets' care. The doctors and staff are excellent. They have wonderful skills for responding to animals and they are exceptional in their people compassion skills. I drive from Santa Maria to Nipomo because I appreciate your services.

I’ve taken my 4 year old pup to these folks since she was 13 weeks old. She receives loving and conscientious care from Dr. Devault ~ and I receive the same from the phenomenal front desk staff!!! It’s rare these days to get such a combination of efficiency and warmth. From Vet Tech’s to schedulers - everyone has been friendly and helpful, and every experience has been a positive one. I was even happily surprised to discover after a miner surgery that the cost was LESS than initially quoted, and believe their prices for services are reasonable and very competitive with other practices in the county. Also, importantly, our doctor is kind, down-to-earth, honest, and conservative in her treatment approach. I trust her and rely upon her input and explanations. She seems to take my pup’s well-being as much to heart as I do! I have enthusiastically recommended Dr. Devault and Nipomo Cat & Dog for years, and will continue to do so. I wholeheartedly endorse them to anyone considering options.

Great experience. Short wait time, caring and positive people at the front desk, very capable and excellent vets and vet assistants in the exam room. Recommended.

The entire staff are amazing and treat us customers as family. They answer questions completely and thoroughly and are efficient in securing appointments. They all hold a special place in our hearts and we are blessed to have them.

We now have a new beloved pet, a 2 1/2 month old lab mix named Roxy and she went in for her second set of shots. They were wonderful and explained all of the options and the schedule of shots, when to spay and we found a good puppy. I look forward to our many visits to them with her and trust them with anything they suggest we do to take care of our new family member. Love these guys and are always friendly, caring and compassionate when it comes to their patients.

I took my dog here for an exam and to update her shots. This was our first time here. The staff and the doctor were all SO nice. Overall a really great experience.

I would not recommend this practice to anyone. While my experience with one of the vets and vet techs was good, the office staff can be very rude. One interaction was particularly bad: I had an appointment for my dog to have a tooth extracted. I met with the vet beforehand, and I thought he would be the one performing the procedure. When I followed up the day before the appointment (they were behind on their calls/emails as there had been a holiday), I learned that a dental tech would be performing the procedure. Doing due diligence for my pet, I asked questions. I asked about anesthesia, for the dental tech's full name, and if there would be vet supervision (those nerves go right to the brain and the top back molars are doozies to extract). The office staff became very defensive and hostile and said they didn't give out personal information about their employees. I was surprised by her reaction and explained that I did not mean any disrespect, I was only trying to make sure I was doing my best by my 12-year-old senior dog in asking these questions. She reassured me and we hung up. When I arrived the next morning, I was told she had canceled my appointment because of my concerns and that they had left a voicemail, which I did not receive. It felt like she was punishing me for having the audacity to ask due diligence questions. Though, I feel like it was a blessing in disguise because I had the procedure safely done by a vet for far less than their estimate and it felt safer than having a dental tech who goes only by a first name perform the procedure.

Nipomo Dog and Cat Hospital have always done a great job of keeping my cats in good health, even my cantankerous 19 year old. Excellent diagnostics. Thank you NDCH!!
