I’m so grateful I found Dr. Ameis and Paw Priority. I had an urgent situation with my French bulldog, Medusa, when one of her teeth tore through her gum and she needed stitches. I couldn’t get a same-day appointment with my regular membership-based vet anywhere in Los Angeles, but Paw Priority got us in that day. Dr.

Finally, West Hollywood has an incredibly talented, kind, well-priced, INDEPENDENTLY-OWNED vet – Dr. Ameis! I can’t say enough good things about how amazing our experience was throughout my dog’s recent spay at Paw Priority. I was given a same-day appointment to meet Dr.

I have taken my 85 lb Shepard mix to Dr. Ezra for a very stubborn, painful ear infection and anal gland infection. My dog is anxious at vet offices. He needs trazadone and a muzzle if in pain. Even with his behavior, they treat Balto with so much care.

I only regret that I have but 5 stars to give to this vet. I found his reviews last Friday, desperately searching for a vet to see our 15 year old terrier mix “daughter”, on the same day. She was deteriorating rapidly, eating and drinking very little, etc.

I found this vet by coincidence on Google, and it truly turned out to be one of the best decisions I could have made for my dog. My dog had overlooked lumps in her mammary glands that unfortunately turned out to be cancerous. She required a major surgery to remove the tumors along with a sterilization procedure.

My dog was injured during a walk, and I chose this clinic based on the strong reviews—and they absolutely lived up to them. The team made time for us immediately and was kind, professional, and efficient throughout the visit.

This place is truly special and Dr. Ameis is a rare find these days. His first priority is your pet’s well being and you can tell he genuinely cares. My puppy had emergency surgery at a different hospital, and when I notified Dr. Ameis about it, he called me to follow up and ask how she’s feeling.

Our pooch ‘Compton’ had a medical emergency recently and our regular vet, who was not in, recommended we take him to Paw Priority. I grew up with dogs, and have owned dogs going on 27 years now. Compton collapsed suddenly while we were getting the kids ready for school. Compton was a 13 year old rescue.

I highly recommend Paw Priority if you’re looking for a vet for your furry friend! Everything is brand new and clean. At first, I was a little worried since there were only a few reviews, and it’s a new business. I even wondered if they were forcing clients to leave five-star reviews.

I cannot begin to explain how much I love paw priority, I was extremely happy to have been able to discover such an amazing place to treat my pug Chloe’s surgery after worrying of where I could take her to get treated without an outrageous estimate for her…

I recommend Paw Priority to anyone who needs urgent care for their pet. We brought in our dog, Kylo, after he showed some pretty worrisome symptoms and Paw Priority luckily was able to get us an appointment that same day. Kylo was diagnosed with advanced liver disease, and Dr.

This place is what our neighborhood has needed for years. I brought my new rescue, Boogie here after she somehow opened my husband’s blood pressure pill bottle and chewed one of the tablets.
