What reviewers say

80% Positive sentiment
based on 488 reviews

Gentle Care Pet Clinic is a long-standing veterinary practice in Long Beach that offers comprehensive wellness exams, vaccinations, and general medical care. The veterinary team is widely regarded as compassionate, thorough, and gentle with nervous animals, providing clear explanations and affordable care options. The facility operates strictly by appointment and features amenities like a coffee station and pet treats, though some visitors note that the waiting room is small and the building is dated. While many families report decades of positive experiences, some recent visitors note increased pricing and corporate management changes following the retirement of long-time leadership.
