Jon Klingborg, DVM

Took my cat in for an injury based on the positive reviews. I have to say, the doctor is excellent. He seemed to genuinely care and took his time explaining everything and seemed very knowledgeable. To be honest, he spent more time with us than the doctors I see for myself usually do.
The price was pretty reasonable. $ 99 for the exam, an anti inflammatory and antibiotic shot, and ear drops. We were in and out in probably 30 minutes tops. It’s also a very nice office and smells great in there. Most vet offices smell like old wet dog.
Added bonus, he looks and sounds quite a bit like Stephen Colbert!
As much as I hate to deduct a star, I have to for the somewhat questionable service I received when I called back to ask about their pet sitting service we wanted to use.
For whatever reason, the lady on the phone was either unable or unwilling to give me a straight answer about whether or not they could take him with his current vaccination status. The entire conversation was very frustrating and I still never got a direct answer.

Such a nice place. I just drove up from Orange County to pick up a puppy. I found this place on Unilocal and they were able to schedule me in last minute for a puppy check up and shots. So glad I was able to get this done before the long road trip back down south. Facility is very clean and beautifully decorated. Staff and doctor are all very friendly and accommodating. Wish this pave was closer to home as they would for sure be my new vets. So refreshing to find an animal doctor who still cares about the animals!

Almost 10 years ago, I brought my dog, Molly in for parvo. She had previously been treated at another vets office (out of town). Unfortunately, she wasn’t getting better. When Dr. Klingborg saw her, he actually promised me that he would make her better… and he did:) We have continued to bring our pets to VAH over the years, and have nothing but positive things to say about the facility and the Dr’s. Last year, my silky terrier was diagnosed with kidney failure. He was so severe, that they really thought he wouldn’t last a month, but my little miracle lived another 14 months. Unfortunately, we had to put him to sleep. Not long after that, I received a little package in the mail from VAH… it was his paw print, in plaster. Made me cry tears of joy. After having to go through something so devastating, it was wonderful to receive such a perfect gift. Just this month, I received a letter from Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, informing me that VAH made a donation to the Companion Animal Memorial Fund, in memory of my little guy. There aren’t enough words to express how special that is to me, and how wonderful this facility and Dr’s are.

I’ve had about 7 vets so far during my lifetime and Dr. Klingborg is by far the best. He is patient, kind, humorous, intelligent, and so good with my two cats.
I had a scare where my prior vet told me my cat Tiger had some sort of growth in/​near his intestines, it was probably cancer, and when cats get cancer it’s all over so I might as well put him to sleep.
I took Tiger to Dr. Klingborg for a second opinion, which turned out to be — surprise! — Tiger is not dying. That was over a year ago and Tiger is a happy, playful kitty maintaining his lower weight and eating, drinking, and pooping like a normal kitty.
Dr. Klingborg was patient and kind when I was a blubbering mess. Before the appointment, he patiently answered my email questions about euthanasia options, how it works, what my role could be, etc.
I highly recommend Dr. Jon Klingborg to anyone who wants a caring, intelligent, funny, hightly competent vet with a great pet-​bedside manner.

Dr klingborg has been the vet for my two mini schnauzers ever since they were puppies (ten yrs old now) and I can’t say enough good things about him. He is knowledgeable, kind and has a wonderful way with my «babies». Both of them have multiple health problems and he has been on top of each illness and treated them aggressively when necessary while managing to keep me calm and «grounded» (not easy to do). He takes his time, never rushes me and answers all my questions honestly, with patience and understanding. I would not let him treat my dogs if I did not trust him 100%. I would highly recommend him and the Valley Animal Hospital with which he is affilliated.
