Allen Jan, DVM

I have been using Dr. Allen for over 15 years and cannot give her enough praise. She is truly an animal loving, compassionate soul.
She is also a very skilled Veterinarian and all of my dogs/​cats have loved her over the years.

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Allen. She has helped us care for many dogs and friends’ dogs over the past decade or two. I know this dates me, but I like to call her the Marcus Welby of vets. :) — One thing is for sure, no question will be unanswered and you will never be pushed into any treatment. She gives you the options and pros and cons.
One of the best things about having a mobile vet is that you can say good bye to your dog on your terms in your own home. It possible, it’s always nice to give your animal one last final gift of a peaceful passing in familiar surroundings.
Dr. Allen has been a gift to us and our animals. She’s an extremely experienced and skilled doctor and a compassionate, sincere animal lover.

It’s taken me 1.5 years to finally get around to writing this review. We had to put our dear 14+ yr dog Abbey down February 2014. Dr. Allen came to our house the week before but our girl had rallied and we just weren’t ready to let her go. Dr. Allen could tell and told us that she wasn’t ready to leave us yet.
The next week was pretty bad so we scheduled another visit and spent the weekend with our sweetheart, savoring every moment and trying to keep her comfortable. By the time the day came she could not support herself — it was so heart-​wrenching to see but it was clear we were making the right decision to let her go.
We laid her on her bed with some nice music playing and said our goodbyes. Dr. Allen just sat quietly and seemed to know when the time was right. I was petting her the entire time and I hope that the last thing she felt and smelled was the people who loved her and were changed by her companionship.
We held it together long enough to handle the business but fractured into a billion pieces when she left. We chose to take our girl to the crematorium ourselves where we said one last farewell (that will be another review).
Our experience with Dr. Jan was as good as something like this can be. We are grateful to have had those last moments with that sweet, loyal friend.

Dr. Allen provided us with a truly wonderful experience when she came to our home to euthanize our sweet Daisy dog. Compassionate and gentle and full of love, Dr. Allen is tops.

Jan Allen is just great. Every time I am forced to walk into my «other» vet office I am amazed at what they want to do (crazy labs, unnecessary testing, referrals that make no sense and prescriptions that are questionable). It appears that medical doctors are not the only professionals who have found ways to make money by «thinking out of the box.»
Jan practices vet medicine that makes sense. Perhaps it is in part that she doesn’t have all of the «bells and whistles» but I have never in any way thought my animals have suffered by doing without.
I agree with all of the other reviewers as to her level of compassion and kindness.

Dr Allen assisted with the euthanasia of one of my kitties about 3 years ago. It was the spur of the moment crisis. I called around and around and Dr Allen was the only DVM that was willing to come to my home the day I called.
She is very kind and does a wonderful job with this kind of service. Previously I have shuttled my pets to the animal hospital for these events. I didn’t know home services were available. Now that I know they exist, I will do whatever I can to have these services performed at home. I think back and know it would have been a wonderful choice for the others.
I stumbled across her Unilocal reviews because I am about to track her down to assist with my next kitty. The recent diagnosis will allow me to make plans for this departure.
At that time she was using Paws in Heaven, a pet crematorium and cemetery in Canyon Lake for the remains. Their services can include private cremations, ashes returned, paw prints and fur clippings in a pretty cedar box with a brass name plate. The folks at Paws in Heaven were amazing. The best experience ever.

Dr Allen is amazing with animals, and very reasonable cost-​wise. Plus, I love that her business model means she comes to the house — it’s nice for my animals not to have to go through the anxiety of going to the scary vet’s office. For check-​ups, day-​to-​day issues, etc., there is nobody better! I’d give her 5 stars for sure, except for the fact that she is limited by her «mobile vet» status in terms of the types of care she can provide. She can’t do X-​rays, some lab tests, surgery, or anything more complex. I would love to use her for everything, but I’m forced to maintain an awkward relationship with a second vet for larger issues that come up. I wish she would give me an easy way to work through her practice for these larger items, even if she can’t provide them out of her van.

Dr. Jan is great! Agree that she is very professional and has loads of compassion, knowledge and love for animals. We love our dog but he is very protective and difficult to take to a vet office with other animals and people. Dr. Jan comes to our home and takes great care of our dog without the stress of interactions with others. Her rates are very competitive too! Highly recommend.
