Robert J Tisdale, DVM, INC.

Dr. Brovant is so kind to me and especially my German shepherd. Many vets are intimidated by him but she’s always been loving towards him. I’ve taken my German shepherd to Dr Tisdale since he was 7+ weeks old. He is like doctors are suppose to be too. He’ll talk with you about the history of your breed and takes the time to get to know you and your dog. I love him too. They have all been patient and kind. The office staff are wonderful professionals who always are courteous. I went to another vet many years ago there treatment towards animals was horrible so to find such compassionate doctors is wonderful. Best vets in Fremont!!!

I happened upon Dr. Bob about 20 years ago when I was fostering for a local organization. My fur babies had a different doc but after one visit with Dr. Bob, I transferred to him. Without fail, he has taught me something on every visit and it’s a pleasure to talk with him. He’s taken fantastic care of my pets, my family and friends’ pets and the occasional stray that I would bring to him.
I recently moved to NOLA and I miss Tisdale’s staff and of course him. I recommend him highly.

I must say I have never been so frustrated and upset in all my life, I brought my dog in I was extremely concerned of a abcest on her neck, well I find out she also has an ear infection, my main concern was the abcest that was bleeding all over … They said I was going to receive a free exam for being first time patients, well that was a lie … They charged me for things that were not needed at all, and they didn’t even bother to shave or exam the area wat I was most concerned, I took my dog for a second opinion to Good Samaritan vet hopistal in San Leandro there where they shaved and cleaned the abcest and the exam was free of charge for us being first time clients, they then told me what was going on with my dog, and actually treated my dog with love and compassion ! As far as dr. Tisdale office goes I think this place is a joke :/​… They wanted to charge blood work other things that Good Samaritan hospital said wasn’t needed, and couldn’t believe they allowed my dog to go home in the condition she was in ! So All around Dr. Tisdales hopstial is not interested in ur pets, more like ur wallet … It’s sooo sad cause we turn to these people for help for our pets ! I would rather make the 30min drive to San Leandro

Dr. Tisdale and his staff are the best ever! Been going there for over 25 years — such care for all the animals and their owners. Best in town without a doubt!

Drs. Tisdale, Brovont and their staff are responsive, patient caregivers! They educate, and discuss options on treatment and products. We have been part of the practice for almost ten years and have NEVER had a bad experience. (OK, there was one guy vet that I didn’t like, but he was a short timer and is long gone!) We have boarded 2 different dogs there, had to put one dear soul down, and gone for various routine and not so routine procedures. Always our dogs were treated well, and we were guided to make rational, evidence based choices for their care. As a human caregiver, I can only hope that I do as well as they do. Props to all of you at the office!

Dr. Tisdale and his crew rock! I don’t have my doggy anymore, but when I did, I loved taking him to the clinic. These are people who truly love animals and love their work. They treated Riley, my doggy, like one of their own. When I suddenly had to take Riley to be put down, they were compassionate and so loving of him. They were so gentle and emotional right along with us. They did not hurry me or try to burden me with details right away. Whenever I do get another dog, I will go back to Dr. T and crew.

I started coming here when my frenchie developed a skin condition that stumped my other vet and cost me $ 1,000. Dr. Tisdale discovered what it was in 10 minutes. We’ve been coming back for the last 2 years. Recently my two dogs got into a disagreement and my Chihuahua had a severe eye injury. When I came in Monday Dr. Brovan (sp?) was so sweet. She was consoling my dog and teying to make her feel comfortable. She was very compassionate in explaining that her eye may need to be removed. She perscribed a few meds and set me up with an eye specialist. When seeing the specialist, they recommended the same prescriptions, so she’s very knowledgeable. It’s very obvious they care about animals and their owners.

This place continues to impress me every time I go. Dr. Tisdale is around sometimes, and always has excellent advise. I usually see Dr. Brovant, who is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. We have had numerous pet issues in our house within the past year, including a very sick kitten. All the vet’s we have seen have been helpful. The front desk staff is wonderful… very pleasant. There was one girl that was a little condescending, and rude but I have not seen her in several months. So thankful to their staff for saving my sick kitten, I couldn’t ask for a better team.

Dr. Tisdale and his staff are top notch! The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and honest about the best treatment for your animal. We have been taking our 10 month old husky puppy here since she was 8 weeks old and it has been the best decision we could have made! Dr. Tisdale instantly came up with a nick-​name for her and a special whistle that has now become our way of getting her attention. She is always so excited when we take her to the vet which is awesome considering most dogs hate going to the vet! Its a great feeling knowing that we can call up and no matter which staff member we speak to they always give us great advice and additional options we have for each situation. If only everyone could have vet experiences like this because service, dedication, and positive attitudes are hard to find! Did i mention everything is reasonably priced as well!!!
I HIGHLY recommend taking your pets here for any of their veterinary needs, they will always be treated like family and have the best care!!!

not close to home but, always reliable. Friendly, understanding and excellent at calming a freaked out pet owner. Uses straight forward language so I could understand easily why poor kitty wasn’t feeling well. Thank you Thank you Thank you

A true Veterinarian… Can’t thank Dr. Tisdale enough… From every other veterinarian in the area we got a quote of 700.00 to 270.00 to remove an injured dew claw from our newly rescued dog… Dr. Tisdale saw us right away took care of the little pup in less than 15 minutes and charged us peanuts. all the others wanted a hospital stay etc… Dr. Tisdale has made a pet client for life… he was AWESOME!

I never really knew how good I had it having Dr T and is AhhhhMahhzing staff being able to work on my dogs over the last 12 years. Recently we moved from Fremont to Hayward and we have a new puppy and recently he has needed to go to the vet. I wanted to try a vet here in town someone told me they loved, good enough for me. Well I went and was completely annoyed by everything and in that instant I knew how lucky I was to have him for our boy Kruger.
Doc sorry I strayed it will not happen again, Kruger says he misses his GF Carolyn.

Dr. Tisdale is incredible. Just amazing. We adopted our first kitty Layla and were told to take her to Dr. Tisdale. When we rescued our second kitty, we were directed to another vet who would not answer my questions or address my concerns. We took our second kitty to Dr. Tisdale and he quickly treated our kitty for ear mites and for an eye infection. Dr. Tisdale will answer all your questions, he will make sure you understand what’s wrong with your pet and he will follow up to make sure you pet is ok. I feel like Dr. Tisdale and his staff truly care about the animals they treat.

I met Dr. Tisdale for the first time about 2 months ago when he helped me with a stray kitty that was roaming outside my house for 2 years. This stray kitty was very sick and would never let us near him. The neighbor and I captured him and named him Greyson. The rescue center at Petsmart had told me that Dr. Tisdale will see Greyson and provide some care. Greyson was really messed up and NOBODY and I mean NOBODY wanted to touch him. He hand mange all over his whole body, and was just a walking disease and bacteria. I felt so awful for him. Dr. Tisdale petted him and picked him up, feed him, and even asked one of the girls to help me bathe this poor infested cat. I left the cat there for about a week for boarding because I knew Dr. Tisdale will check up on him and provide care. Unfortunately, after 3 days of good appetite he declined, and died on the 6^th day. Dr. Tisdale showed me everything and explained what happened. He was very nice to Greyson even though Greyson didn’t have an owner.
Two months after meeting Dr. Tisdale, I decided to bring my cat Pinky in for a check up. Previously I had thought he had an allergy or asthma. Other vets had thought he had asthma or allergies, because lab test didn’t show he had elevated white blood count. Dr. Tisdale stated, he had a heart condition because his heart was beating too hard, which caused him to constantly cough and be out of breath. He know right away that Pinky had a heart condition called Cardiomypathy and that he needed to do some tests. Shortly, two days later, the tests came back, and sure enough that was what he had. He told me an honest prognosis of the condition. At this point it is about maintenance. He referred to me a cardiology specialist in Dublin for more extensive tests and labs. (I’m not sure if I can afford that at this point)
I really do like Dr. Tisdale especially for cats. He is really knowledable and has YEARS or experience with cats because he is a cat owner himself.
The only negative thing is that, I would bring all 5 of my cats there more often, but I just don’t know if I can afford it especially after medication, tests, and follow up visits.
He is worth it, especially for a 2^nd opinion if you have tried everything. He has a lot of experience and I am very blessed to have met him and so glad he found out what is wrong with Pinky.

Dr. Tisdale is trusted with the care of our 2 dogs & 2 cats.
His staff is professional and friendly.
His passion for his work is evident in everything he does.

Love Dr. Tisdale. He was referred by friend of mine who has been going to Dr. Tisdale for years. He makes time to discuss about your dog. First time we came, he gave free medication. Second time, free treat for teeth cleaning. He is generous and true veterenian. We are very comfortable with him.

I do see there are a few bad reviews here for Dr. Tisdale, but I have not experienced that yet! I lived with 4 cats, one of whom died of FIP. She was a young kitten who lived only 7 months and Dr. Tisdale advised us to put her to sleep to end her misery. Since this was the first time I was visiting Dr Tisdale for vet checkups, I did not want to do as suggested hoping she would improve, but like he had suggested she passed away just 2 weeks later. From a kitten who was able to walk, run, eat well she turned into one that couldn’t move and simply collapsed. it was heart wrenching, but the diagnosis was correct and that helped us prepare for her demise.
I have 3 other cats now (2 persians and one siamese), all of whom visit Dr. Tisdale for checkups if needed.
The only downside is that its really very expensive. If you have many pets it’s probably safer to have pet insurance.

My family has been seeing Dr. Tisdale for all of our pets for years and I just recently have my own two Boston Terrier’s who I love to death and I would not trust them with ANY other vet besides Dr. Tisdale! He takes really good care of your pet even when your pet gets surgery and needs to be watched after the staff for a while.
They are open on Saturdays which is always very helpful for emergencies.
The staff is awesome and very nice! They always know my pets by name and I notice they do for almost everyone there. I seriously feel comfortable letting them take my dogs.
Dr. Tisdale always explains everything so well. Even if he’s busy he will keep is short and simple but not to a point where you dont understand what he’s saying or are confused. And if you are? Just tell him! He will always stay and give you all the information you need. He will even call you the next day if he needs to!
I personally haven’t used their daycare facilities but I’ve heard only great things about that also. That the employee’s take very great care of your pets and always make sure to take them out and walk them, feed them, let them play with their toys, personal blankets, whatever makes your pet comfortable!

Update: I have since acquired two kittens. They are thriving and full of fun — thank you Dr. Tisdale & staff!!! Also, our elder dog was recently diagnosed with vestibular disease. The staff helped our dog (and us), and she’s made a full recovery!
Dr. Tisdale and his staff are REAL DEAL. They are good people and their compassion is felt by the animals and their owners.

Dr. Tisdale and all of his staff are really great with our cats. They are personal and down to earth. They are not just out to sell pet meds and treatments and it shows.
His staff is super kind, they come in early and the office is open on Saturdays which makes a big difference.
He explains things well, knows his business and is really just there to help your animals, plain and simple.
We use to go to an OK vet who was very near our place, but the slightly longer drive to Dr. Tisdale is 100% worth it (both to us and the wee ones in the cage).
