Brent-Air Animal Hospital

After going to four different veterinarians in the West Los Angeles/​Beverly Hills area, we have officially found Clarence’s forever doctor. First off the staff is incredible! I called and they were extremely helpful and offered, before I could even mention, to call his previous vet for his records. On the day of his appointment, they were on time (no wait) and prepared. Dr. Schlanger and his assistant were just so incredible. They were both very attentive (I think Dr. Schlanger spent 45 minutes or more with us) and answered every question we had thoroughly. Not to mention all of the love they gave our puppy! He then mentioned other possible conditions that could lead to our Great Dane’s GI problems, which none of the other doctors mentioned. Instead the other vets insisted on putting our puppy (now 1 year old) on multiple different antibiotics and medications that irritated his stomach even more. We are very grateful to have found Dr. Schlanger and his team! Seriously having a sick puppy has been very difficult and now we have hope and confidence that our dog will be able to have a illness free future. I DEFINITELY recommend Brent-​Air Animal Hospital to anyone that wants results.

Dr. Schlanger and the entire staff are friendly, compassionate and provide great care. They go above and beyond and have been our clinic for years. They also provide boarding at reasonable prices. We recommend them highly!

I am giving this vet a 4 star because they fit me in the same day for an appointment. Otherwise, they are more like a 3.5 star. My puppy had a broken nail and it would not stop bleeding. The wait at my usual vet was too long. The tech was great, but I wasn’t impressed with the veterinarian. She seemed rushed and spent just a couple of minutes with us & I never saw her again. I appreciate them fitting me in. The receptionist was very accommodating on the phone.

The first veterinary office that didn’t try to upsell me by preying on my emotional vulnerability. That means a LOT

Hands-​down the best animal hospital in WLA. Dr Schlanger and his team are amazing. They are friendly, easy with the animals and attentive. Dr Schlanger is no-​nonsense and he won’t recommend unnecessary tests. He takes a conservative, knowledgeable approach to caring for your pet.
Brent-​Air also works with animal rescue agencies to help them treat their animals while controlling their costs. They treat and care-​for many animals that would have been put-​down at area shelters.
I highly recommend Brent-​Air. And they keep a tight schedule — I have never had to wait more than a few minutes past my arrival time.

I had my first experience with Brent-​Air a few days ago, and I feel very confident that I have made the right place for my dog’s needs. My appointment was able to be set up with ease and they took me in right on time. The hospital is clean and organized, but it would be nice if they had a larger parking lot. Dr. Pang did a general examination of my dog and thoroughly explained everything as she went along. I was concerned that my pooch’s inability to lose weight despite a minimal diet might be due to a thyroid issue, and Dr. Pang suggested that it might actually just be that her food needed to be changed to a specifically weight reduction based one. She wrote up a helpful packet of information about dog obesity and the max amount of calories that my dog should be eating per day. I am looking forward to future visits at Brent-​Air and am very thankful for Dr. Pang’s and the staff’s friendly help!

The staff and care at Brent-​Air is truly top notch. I lived in LA for about two years and took my cat William to them for everything from routine grooming to a pre-​air travel check up certification.
I also called them when he had ingested a large piece of string and was incredibly worried and afraid. I talked to Dr. Schlanger and after I explained all of the events, he assured me that everything should be okay. Additionally, he followed up the next day to ensure that he was back to normal.
I work in a job that is heavily dependent on great client relationships and going above and beyond with supreme customer service; because of this I place a high value on these traits in the service providers that I utilize. Brent-​Air is a phenomenal example of not only providing reliable service, but going above and beyond in customer care.
My cat, as pets typically are to their owners, means the world to me and being able to have such a trustworthy DVM is beyond value.
Thank you, Brent-​Air!

We saw Dr. Pang after hearing about them at a doggy 5K called Strut your Mutt. The facility is open and spacious with a large waiting area, candy, coffee, and water is available. I thought Dr. Pang was super nice and very patient. She took her time and really addressed our concerns. A great doctor!
The front desk staff seemed super busy and a little on the slow side but were nice enough. Their prices seem a bit higher than Banfield (68 for an office visit vs. 50) but I think you get more quality care and time with the doctor. We will likely be back!

I wanted to take a minute to say Thank You once again to Brent-​Air Animal Hospital.
I cannot say enough good things about all the staff and their kindness.
The other day my dog was bitten by a bee. On top of that he had an ear infection
discovered by Dr. O’Donnell. I had noticed a small cyst like ball which was tested and found ok. Dr. O’Donnell was just fantastic in every possible way. There were no hidden charges as the Dr. made it a point to be concerned enough to discuss cost of various procedures. Dr. O’Donnell also took plenty of time to go over things regarding my dogs care and did not rush in any way.
I am grateful to Dr. O’Donnell, and Dr. Kevin who never fail to come through. Thank you so much for getting me in on such short notice when you are so busy. I am truly grateful for that.
It is my hope that other pet owners will discover this private animal hospital and the wonderful Dr’s and caring staff. So far I have had only good experiences at Brent-​Air Animal Hospital.
Thank You so Much,
Eileen

they take great care with our two dogs. can’t recommend them higher.

I am so appreciative of everyone at Brent-​Air Animal hospital. I have been taking my dogs here for a few years now and I always receive excellent care and support. But recently realized how exceptional they are as they helped me sort through my options in caring for my aging dog and his passing.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Brent Air’s staff. I adopted my beautiful Madonna a little over 5 weeks ago. Madonna had both an eye and an ear infection. I took her home– I wasn’t going to let either of those impact my decision to adopt Madonna. Her eye infection had been on going & she was going to Brent Air, so I decided to keep going there. Best decision ever. The technicians and ladies at the front are super welcoming, friendly, and remember each owner and dog. One technician especially, Kailyn, helped me tremendously during the first couple weeks of adoption. She spoke with me for a half hour on the phone comforting me. Dr. Pang is a wonderful caring vet. She takes time to return calls, inform you what is going on, and is honest. Dr. OcConnel is just as knowledgable and generous to her patients as well. I will never take Madonna to another Vet as long as I can take her to Brent Air. It’s very clean and welcoming, and as a first dog owner, I can’t imagine asking for anything else. Madonna has had her eye infection for 5+ weeks and I’ve watched the ulcer get bigger and now get smaller. I’m so thankful to the wonderful staff at Brent Air :)

Brent air animal hospital is an amazing facility. There staff is not only friendly, but very thorough. I have been using them for years and have nothing but good things to say about them. They are highly professional, and compassionate and treat all animals with lots of love and care.

My wife and I have been taking our cats to Brent-​Air Animal Hospital for years. We are always impressed with the care and compassion of the staff and Vets. At times, they run low on inventory of medications and supplies, so we’ve had to return at a later date for refills, which is a bit of an inconvenience, and we often have to wait well past our scheduled appointment times because the staff seems to run behind, especially for appointments in the late afternoon, but all in all, the positives outweigh the negatives.

I have been taking my pets to Brent-​Air Animal hospital for several years now and couldn’t be happier with this place. All the doctors are very knowledgeable and professional, and the staff are very friendly and helpful. When I take my dog there I dont have to wait long, they call later on in the week to check on how he’s doing, and the doctor returns my calls if I have questions. You might not realize how important that is until you’ve been somewhere else — I had a bad experience at VCA West LA. They also send me emails with reminders for vaccinations, etc.

— Caring nurse and doctors
— Professional staff
— Clean waiting room and examination room
— Genuinely cares for your pets with follow-​up calls
I adopted my dog (Bentley) through Wags and Walks and Brent-​Air Animal Hospital came highly recommended. I brought him in for a visit because of a possible ear infection. Wags and Walks helped make a last minute appointment for me and got a spot within the next couple of days.
As a new patient I filled out a few forms and didn’t have to wait too long to be seen. The waiting room was clean, spacious and the staff was professional. The appointment with Dr. Pang was a generous 45 min to 1 hour. She was thorough in checking Bentley’s ears (since that was the primary reason of the visit) and event took him into another room to look deeper into his ears and administer an ear wash. She was also knowledgeable and patient in answering all of my first-​time dog owner questions.
Within the next day or so someone from Brent-​Air Animal Hospital called to check up on Bentley’s ears. I really appreciated that follow-​up call. When I called back I was able to talk to Dr. Pang with additional concerns because Bentley had symptoms of Kennel Cough. Dr. Pang put my worries at ease and answered my list of questions. I even asked Dr. Pang to email me a recommended caloric intake for Bentley and I received it that day from the staff.
This hospital is highly recommended from my first-​time experience. I’m thinking about coming back to Brent-​Air Animal Hospital to get Bentley a deep teeth cleaning.

I have been taking my dog to Dr. Schlanger since I got him 9 years ago — he was recommended by the rescue group where I got Moses. Dr. Schlanger was very patient with me (a first time dog owner) in that he always explained everything, dealt with my over-​worrying and really has always been a good guide. He has never over-​charged (very competitive) and actually tells me when I DON’T need tests or medications (so I don’t really find him to be profit driven at all — contrary to other posts here). In addition, everyone there is friendly, they know my dog and they always call to follow up and check to see how he’s doing after an appointment. More doctors in general (not just vets) should take note of that. Dr. Schlanger is very caring, he also made accommodations for Moses to do anesthesia free cleaning for his teeth. Very grateful for the Brent Air team.

Brent-​Air was recommended by my dog walker after I moved to Los Angeles. We had a sick boxer and instead of coming here I took her to a closer vet clinic and was extremely disappointed in her treatment. Unfortunately, their failure to properly diagnose her cancer resulted in delays in treatment. By the time we got her to Brent –Air the treatment options were extreme. But our vet looked at her and immediately said she needed surgery. the surgery was successful, but she developed additional tumors and subsequently was put down. We also have two Mini Aussies and all of our dogs have received exceptional care with all of the staff at Brent-​Air. I highly recommend them!

Thank you Brent Air for taking such good care of my dogs, Happy and Margarita!
I took both dogs in for separate issues this week and they came out happy and healthy. The vet techs and front staff were all extremely kind and caring with me and more importantly my dogs. I typically them out to Malibu Coast Animal hospital but I’m glad I’ve found a place that’s close and that I can trust with my babies. Highly recommend!

Suspecting my pup had an ear infection I called at 8:00 pm indicating that I was a new patient requesting the next first available appointment. First off, I was thrilled they were open that late and second, while they were booked the following day, the receptionist squeezed me in mid morning and apologized in advance that I may have to wait a short while as there was only one doctor working that day.
When I arrived, everyone was very nice and friendly and it was a short 10 minutes before seeing the very thorough vet tech and shortly thereafter the wonderful Dr. Edmunson. Both the vet tech and Dr. Edmunson really took the time with me and my dog and gave her a very comprehensive exam. I asked a lot of questions and Dr. Edmunson was knowledgeable with her answers. I liked her warm demeanor out of the gate.
I’m so happy to have have a great new vet where everyone had good energy and are extremely helpful.
