Lido Animal Hospital

This review is overdue, as lido has been great from the start! I was reminded yesterday though, when my puppy was sick and needed to be seen on short notice. The staff was extremely accommodating and got us in. They are so caring with Toby, and always make him as comfortable as possible for any shots /​procedures (he’s afraid of everything so this is hard to do!). They communicate pricing up front and remember Toby by name. I’d recommend them to any family or friends.

Hands down best vet I have ever been to!!! We brought our dog Milo in to get fixed and Dr. Earl & Dan took extra time to make sure Milo was comfortable, answer any questions we had and make us feel completely at ease about everything. Best experience ever from a group of people who genuinely care about every animals wellbeing, definitely coming back any time that we need to and will recommend this Vet to everyone.

This was our first time there and Dr Earl AND the entire staff were extremely helpful and so great to myself and my pup. You can tell everyone who works there absolutely loves animals and takes such good care of them. We will def be back! Thank you

Dr. Earl and his team are the absolute best! I’ve been coming here since moving to California. They are always so sweet to my little dogs. I know when the dogs go in for anything they are in trusted hands. Couldn’t ask for anything better!

Dr Earl and staff were the best Dr. Earl and staff got right on the issue with our senior dog Deuce. I’m so blessed to see the work of such a caring and professional veterinarian. His techs were so loving and caring as well– Thank You Again

Wish I could rate this place –5 stars. Been taking my cat Boo there since he was about 9, he is now 14. Was diagnosed with pancreatitis about 3 years ago by Lido. The 3^rd bout of it (February 2014) Dr. Earl said there wasn’t much to do for him and to think about his suffering and putting him down! Over a YEAR later he just started showing symptoms again. Brought him to a different vet for cats only. Come to find out from records that Lido never tested him for pancreatitis/​diabetes/​kidney failure and his blood panel (normal one) was all really good… told to me by new vet. I couldn’t be more upset or disappointed that Dr. Earl diagnosed him based on symptoms and suggested to put him down!!! So horrible. Boo is getting the proper care and testing he needs and no signs of him anywhere near needing to be put down. DO NOT TAKE YOUR SICK CAT HERE.

What a great experience, fit us in to see our dog Coco on short notice! Everybody there was professional and friendly and made Coco feel at ease! Highly recommend!

I love Dr. Earl and his team. They take care of the most important baby in my life. They have saved Jeffy from chocolate poisoning and a heat stroke. I’m thankful to have such a great team by my side when it comes to my unlucky, crazy pup. They are even great when it comes to coming in at 6:25 right before they close to get my puppy’s food. Thank you guys I appreciate your hard work and how much you care about Jeffy.

Walked over to Dr. Earl’s office on a chance of being seen without an apt or I would have been happy to come back.
Tiffany was at the front and a real pleasure as was Dr. Earl. At the time i didn’t know he was the Dr, he was very sweet and said we could be seen in about 15 – 20 min so we waited. And it was about 15 min later and a very professional, knowledgable tech with the prettiest curls came & got us. Sorry dude, I didn’t get your name. Both techs, curly hair dude and Suzanne did most of tests, they were both very competent, compassionate, talked to us the whole time explaining what & why they were doing each test.
My Lilikoi has been suffering with red eyes for about about a month. Doc gave her 2 eye drops to use.
Let’s hope her eyes clear up. I’ll check back…

2 weeks ago I took my 8 year old female dachshund to my vet to have a cyst on her eye looked at. I was told she needed surgery and given an astronomical quote. I took to Facebook for a second opinion and Dr. Donny Earl was recommended by close friends. It took me about 35 minutes to get there but it was well worth it. Dr. Earl came into the waiting room sat on the floor and in a calming and very gentle manner spoke to my scared little girl to where she was wagging her tail and jumped into his lap. He gave me a quote that was 4 times cheaper and she just had the surgery. All is well and we have a new vet. His staff is just as wonderful! Sweetness.

Dr. Earl and the entire staff at Lido Animal Hospital are amazing! They have taken care of our Dog, Sweetie Pie for years now and every single time she goes there she is taken care of like a family member. Today we had an appointment for a very painful ear infection. My car broke down 10 minutes before the appointment, I called to tell them the situation and 10 minutes later, Dr. Earl himself showed up at my front door to take Sweetie Pie back to the hospital to treat her. By the time I finished writing this review, he was calling me to tell me of her prognosis and medication instructions. They are so caring and really went a step up and above what I could imagine. They, like me, could not bear to have her in pain through the night. I highly recommend Lido to anyone who loves their pet, because the staff at Lido, truly loves them too!

I just left this office with my min pin. The doctor had all of the time in the world for us and listened to every tiny detail of symptoms and past treatments. We did a one picture x-​ray, blood work and fecal exam. With everything that was done, I was in and out in an hour. Seems long, but at the same time, I feel like we got so much done and resolved in that hour and it was a real ease of my mind.
The techs went over the breakdown and explanation of charges and tests after our visit with the doctor. Every charge was explained and approved before they did anything, which is something I appreciate — in the past, I haven’t gotten to see the charges prior to the process. Furthermore, the medications we were given were explained more than once which was good for me because repetition helps when going over a new routine. Additionally, I had thought of a question between the 2^nd and 3^rd walk through!
The doctor came out one more time and was considering giving her an anti-​nausea med, but she was eagerly eating (he brought food out for her to try) so he said he didn’t think she needed it, so I don’t feel like he’s giving her things for no reason. Yes, they take your pet back without you to perform the lab work and anything other than the exam, but I feel it makes both my dog and I less anxious if I’m not there while she’s getting poked. They carried her back and forth even though she had a leash on while giving her hugs and treating her like the furbaby we feel she is!
All in all, it felt very personal, comprehensive, caring and I will absolutely be using this place as our regular vet office going forward. Everyone from the office manager, to the techs to the doctor seemed like they love working there and are passionate about what they do.

This is the most loving, supportive and caring staff. They are extremely knowledgable with a great bed side manner. I never feel rushed or dismissed. All of my questions and concerns are fully addressed every time I’m there. Our rescue dog has had two surgeries and has had some health problems, and everyone there treats her and loves her like one of their own. I see this with all the animals that come in there. I know that my fur baby gets the best care when she is there and that peace of mind is priceless to me.

I have been taking my Pomeranian to Dr. Earl since she was a puppy and couldn’t be happier with every experience I’ve had with them. His staff is welcoming and treats everyone like family. Never have i had to wait more then 5 mins for Dr Earl to greet us nor have i ever walked away feeling like he didn’t treat my dog as one of his own.
My pom had to have a vaccination before her first time traveling on a plane which i waited until 2 days before our flight (oops) not only did they take her in first thing the next morning but let her hang out with them all day until i was off work! Of course i wanted to pay for a day of boarding since they had taken her on 2 long walks, feed a snack and came home exhausted but they looked at me as if i was crazy.
Wynnie and I LOVE Lido Animal Hospital !!

Dr. Earl and his staff are awesome and make my princess feel very comfortable. They are gentle with her and reasonably priced! Great vet!

Great staff, very knowledgable Doc. The entire staff had the most exceptional «bedside manner» with my pup and went beyond expectations. They seem to really care about their patients genuinely which after how many Vets I’ve had is a welcomed surprise. Allowed me to stay with my pup at all times unlike some offices that prefer to deal without the owner for whatever odd reason. I very much learned a lot from the doc and his staff and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional animal care.

Dr. Earl is my dog’s vet from a baby and I mean 10 weeks old. She’s five now. The Dr. charges very reasonable prices compared to many other vets I know of (esp MI). A few things he said were very accurate that no other vet has ever mentioned such as my dog has a leaky urinary tract. Who the hell looks at that? Good thing he did. He’s a very nice happy little man.
Your dog will get lots of cool attention. Dr. Earl ran out from the back to the waiting room and charged my dog to play! So cute! He’s checking health by noticing the dog’s response. He also took my dog right outside for a walk to check for orthopedic problems. Dr. Earl is a hands on guy. I do have a strange LA shelter dog and I admit my dog is NOT normal at all. That is what I love about her.
Parking is on metered street, beautiful location on the Peninsula. This guy is paying very high rent here unless he owns the building which is possible.

I took my cavalier to 2 other vets before a neighbor recommended Dr Earl. What a difference! Everyone there is friendly, kind and professional. Unlike the other vets I tried, they don’t keep you waiting! Love these guys and so does Abby!

Stay away from this place. Completely unprofessional, disorganized and a ripoff. I believe every word of every bad review this place has gotten. Doctor Earl is a greedy hack.

FINALLY… A vet I feel like I can trust!
I’m still relatively new to the area, so I was floundering a little when it came to finding a vet that I liked in the area. The last 2 I tried were dismal. So I crossed my fingers and prayed like hell that this would be a vet I could feel comfortable taking my kitty to.
They’re located right across from Brew Co. in the center island part of the street. And the office is small, not too shabby. But they really do treat you as a customer and your pet well. I laughed a little at the baby talk towards my kitty but you can tell that they all really love animals and they love their jobs. And a complimentary first visit? ERG? Ok. Are we still in Newport Beach??? All in all, great place and I’ll definitely be back!
