Heffelfinger Perry DVM Arguello Pet Hospital

Dr. Heffelfinger was my dog Cody’s vet for many years. She provided excellent care throughout that time. I was very saddened to hear of her accident. I wish her a complete recovery and hope she eventually returns to her position at Arguello PH. She is an outstanding vet and a large part of the reason my dog lived until 15 ½ years was certainly because of her outstanding care.

The best care Coco & Murphy and myself ever had. Perry has always been right on the diagnosis, her level of care and professionalism is beyond words. I was very saddened to hear about her accident. I hope that she comes back to care for us again soon. Sending well wishes to Perry and family. We all love you.

Dr. Heffinfinger please get well soon we miss u!, she is a lovely vet and I know she has a big heart for sure, I do recommend all my friends to go there and have their pets check up. for more serious concerns I will go to AIMMS for internal medicine for my dog, AIMMS please do look for Dr. JILL williamson, she is the best !

Dr. Perry Heffelfinger is one of the best veternarians I’ve ever met, in my entire life. She knows both my dogs Maximum and Chloe, and after being away from the bay area for the past two years, I was extremely saddened to learn she’s had a serious accident, and has been out on medical leave. She is an amazing doctor, who I’m wishing a speedy recovery, not just because I miss bringing my dogs to her, but because she’s way too great of a person to be dealing with such a tragic circumstance. Get well soon, and please come back to work where you are adored by your patients and their guardians, we all miss you so much!!!

I recently came home to find my 18 year old cat in pain and unable to move. I rushed to Arguella Pet Hospital. My usual vet (Dr. Price) was unavailable and Dr. Heffelfinger helped me. Sadly, I had to put my cat to sleep. Dr. Heffelfinger and her assistant were so kind and compassionate with me and my pet during a terrible time. I was surprised to find a card from Dr. Heffelfinger in the mail a few days after the event. The card was personalized and her words helped me feel much better about the entire process. It is rare to feel so cared about, and Dr. Heffelfinger really touched me with the card.

I was thrilled to meet with a Vet who actually took the time to thoroughly examine my new puppy and assure me that it was indeed a case of round worms and not something more serious. Dr. Heffelfinger took my puppy in her arms and examined her thoroughly (unlike the SPCA vet who barely touched her!), opening her mouth, looking in her ears, checking her eyes and pointing out that her very round pot belly wasn’t a result of over-​eating but was INDEED a simple case of round worm (very common in puppies, most get them from momma in utero). What a relief! What a difference from the cold-​hearted approach I received at the other office. My puppy was fed a full spectrum de-​wormer, it went to work as soon as I got home! (I’ll never eat angel hair pasta again!!) Her energy & appetite resumed within hours. The worms are all gone! I just brought her in for her first vaccine, everyone from fellow patients, to receptionist and techs oh’ed and aw’ed at her cuteness! I love this place! See you in 4 weeks!
