Animal Cancer Center

We had the most wonderful and caring experience at Animal Cancer Center of Monterey. Everyone was amazing. Every step was explained throughout the process. Our dog Duchess got excited every time we came. Dr Teri took excellent care of her. The chemotherapy gave us some excellent months with our dog. We can’t thank the cancer center enough for the loving care Duchess received.

Dr. Arteaga and her staff did an amazing job taking care of our 11 year old Boston Terrier! She has been in cancer remission for 3 years. I was told she had maybe three months in September of 2021. Dr. Arteaga took her on as a patient. She lived three more full years of life. She left for the Rainbow Bridge September 19, 2024. Thank you Dr. Arteaga for the additional three years of life we are so blessed! 😇 God Bless you!

They saved my dog Mindy's life. That alone is invaluable to my family and I, and we will forever be in their debt, certainly worth more than just a five star review. These are the most intelligent, professional, and empathetic people I have ever met in my life, doing what I feel is one of the most intellectually and emotionally demanding jobs I know of (seeing animals in one of the most dire of situations). My dog Mindy is a Sharpei mix, around 8 years old, and she was diagnosed with multicentric Lymphoma. For about a month, she grew tumors larger than the size of a tennis ball throughout her body and got to the point where our the vet was surprised that she was not experiencing more complications than she already was. We were recommended to various SAGE hospitals and this clinic by our l

Horrible! I am still traumatized after trusting my dog Buddha's care to the Animal Cancer Center (ACC). I brought him to Dr. Arteaga starting 9/22, ending in 5/23 when she abruptly announced, "he's in kidney failure!" and then dismissed us as clients in the coldest, most brutal manner. When I brought Buddha in initially, his BRAF test revealed 2% cancer - very early stage bladder cancer. I gave him all the cancer meds she suggested along with the NSAID, Meloxicam. In 3/23 we tested his blood, Dr. A said to come back in May - 2 months later. He started to not eat very close to our appt. Friday before - we live a few hours away. When we got into see her that Monday, Dr. A tested his blood again and announced his kidney failure, as if telling me that the weather was nice. No emotion, no kindn

Dr. Arteaga is a wonderful vet and was there for me and for my fur baby Lucy in the toughest times. She is so thorough and explained everything in great detail. She is always prompt to get back to my questions immediately. She not only gave my hope for my dog Lucy, she saved my Mom’s dog Fiona as well who is doing fantastic, years in remission!! As a veterinarian myself, I highly recommend her and her excellent care!
