Supporting Your Pet After Surgery
Modern, safe, effective surgical care
At Bliss Animal Hospital, we understand that the prospect of surgery can be a source of concern for pet owners. That's why we prioritize clear communication and transparency throughout the process. Prior to any surgical procedure, our team takes the time to thoroughly discuss the procedure's details, potential risks, and expected outcomes. We also employ advanced preoperative screening protocols to assess each pet's overall health and tailor anesthesia plans accordingly, ensuring their safety and minimizing any risks. During surgery, our modern monitoring equipment tracks vital signs and provides real-time data to our experienced staff, allowing for immediate intervention if necessary. Post-surgery, we prioritize pain management and offer comprehensive aftercare instructions to facilitate a smooth and comfortable recovery. Whether it's a routine surgery or a more complex procedure, pet owners can trust Bliss Animal Hospital to provide compassionate, expert care that prioritizes their pets' well-being.

Helen Yamahata2024-10-23Driving from Pasadena to Lake Forest should be an indicator of this office. From the staff making my appointment for Bailey (she was limping fairly badly) to our arrival to services rendered were professional, informative, and the language used, I could understand. Keana (vet assistant) was super sweet and made me feel very comfortable. Her demeanor and empathy really showed during our visit. Dr. Sam, is a thorough and professional veterinarian. He examined Bailey and was very informative in our options to treat Bailey. When it comes to my pup baby, having confidence in the office I take her to is of utmost importance. I found it at Bliss.
Kéren Ferreira2024-10-22I’ve trusted Dr. Nai with my three cats for years, and I couldn’t be happier that she’s started her own vet clinic. She’s always been so caring and thoughtful—whether it’s a regular check-up, a spay surgery, or dental care, she makes sure my cats are in the best hands. What I love most is how she really listens to my concerns and never makes me feel rushed. The whole team is so kind, and their prices are really fair, which makes great care easy to access. If you’re looking for a veterinarian who truly cares, I can’t recommend Dr. Nai and Bliss Animal Hospital enough!
jean Lee2024-09-25Experienced vet and staff. Ready to deal with difficult situations . Wonderful to all types of pets.
Dana Wombles2024-09-23I was a bit nervous taking my newly rescued, often times reactive bulldog to the vet. The Vet and the vet tech were really nice, reassuring, and calm. They both made the experience good for me AND my dog.
Alma Gutierrez2024-09-09Yo fui a esa veterinaria por recomendación de otra persona y a demás me atendieron a mis gatitos sin previa cita que eso fue lo mejor las asistentes los médicos son unas personas muy agradables y muy amables son muy pacientes con tus mascotas y a demás tienen asistentes que hablan español y la doctora que atendía mis gatitos también habla español que eso fue muy importante para nosotros yo les súper recomiendo esta veterinaria por que puedes llevar a tu mascota el mismo día sin una cita por si tienes a tu mascota con dolor o algo que les afecte vayan con ellos que rápido serán atendidos recomendados yo les doy un 10/10 👍
Lori Maze2024-09-06Everyone was so welcoming and caring of our cat Finnegan. It is very obvious that everyone loves animals at Bliss and works hard to make them comfortable and as much at ease as animals can be at the vet. Also, Kiana and Dr. Nai were very good about taking the time to examine Finnegan, explain everything to us, and give us options without forcing anything on us. Hopefully Finnegan will stay healthy and won’t need to have any additional medical treatment, but if he does, we are definitely coming back to Bliss animal Hospital to see Kiana and Dr. Nai!
John Jacovides2024-09-02Can I give more than 5 Stars?!?!?!!! We have a number of cats who need services and I found Bliss on Instagram. I emailed a number of clinics to get pricing and found that Bliss was the most responsive and had the best pricing. I brought our long-haired tuxedo into Bliss, who needed a teeth cleaning, shots, nail trim and a very big shave due to mats she would not let us touch. I came in for our appointment, was taken to an exam room, where Dr Nai came in and examined Mittens, said she was good to go for the anesthesia, and spent the next few minutes going through everything else that would be done. It was a pleasure to get that time with the actual Dr. When I picked up Mittens, Dr. Nai came out and explained everything that was done, what to look out for for the next or two. I truly appreciated the hands on by the Drs. directly as I also observed Dr Sam talking with other clients first hand (many places you deal only with the assistants). Take your pets here, you will not be disappointed!! More cats coming your way, Bliss!! Thanks again!!
kyle mcneil2024-08-27Great staff, Competent and caring Vet. Efficient service and good value. What more can I ask for. .... and my dog loved the treats and pampering.
Craig Newsom2024-08-19Making an appointment was very easy and convenient. Bliss animal Hospital is conveniently located with ample parking. Dr Sam Amirshahi and his staff are friendly, professional and knowledgeable. They treated my dog as if she were their own. Dr Sam quickly diagnosed my dog’s illness and formulated a treatment plan. The staff ensures that you understand the recommended services and costs before proceeding. I highly recommend Bliss Animal Hospital.
Brent Bauman2024-08-19New office, same terrific doctor my Labrador has had all of her life, and welcoming staff.
P B.2024-10-04A special thanks to Dr Nai, Mandy and the kind receptionist who helped us make a same day appointment for our sick dog. They were just brilliantly kind and helpful and took their time with our anxious dog (and made us feel better too)! New to the area and have been looking for a vet like this for a while...have tried two others but Bliss is just a cut above the rest! Will definitely be returning again. Quick appointments, clean office and well priced...but most importantly a SUPERB team of people who genuinely care for your pets.
S B.2024-10-04Needed a same day urgent appointment for our sick dog...our vet and another vet was fully booked and we were referred to Bliss. From the first phone call ( she booked us an appointment immediately), it was just the perfect experience. Dr Nai and Mandy were patient and kind and caring with our dog and we felt reassured immediately. Tests were very reasonably priced and with immediate results. This will absolutely become our vet for future needs! Thank you to the Bliss Team!
Dana G.2024-09-20***** 10 STARS!***** WOW! WOW! WOW! We had an appointment with Dr. Sam and he was fantastic! I have a medically fragile dog who needs a little extra TLC and we received a huge amount of care, compassion and professionalism from Bliss Animal Hospital! I ask a million questions and Dr. Sam was so kind and answered even my dumb "crazy dog Mom" questions. I feel very lucky to have found such an amazing veterinary practice to help me keep my dog as healthy as possible.
M L.2024-09-19I am so grateful to have found this place. The staff are so amazing and friendly and Dr. Sam is incredible. I adopted a senior dog a year ago and went to this place for end of life care for my little guy. I went to them for a quality of life checkup today and was so emotional. Dr Sam and his staff were so gentle and kind with me during this visit. If you have a pet and want to take them to people who truly care about animals, this is the place!
Lynne G.2024-09-01We were looking for a vet closer to home and knew about Bliss dog events and from referrals. Best decision ever! Dr Nai is so engaged with you and your pup and her team is wonderful too. Highly recommend.
Marissa I.2024-08-28Bliss Animal Hospital is absolutely AMAZING!!!! I recently moved to Hawaii and learned they are very strict with relocating animals to the island (animals may be quarantined for up to 120 days) BUT you can have take steps to have your animals Directly Released at the airport. This is where Dr. Sam stepped in. He was very knowledgeable with travel regulations and helped me every step of the way. From vaccinations to blood work and making sure all of my forms were in order, he helped make our travel experience seamless and pretty quick! Everything went perfect and now Gidget is enjoying her new Hawaiian life!! Thank you SO MUCH Dr. Sam and your amazing staff!!! We truly appreciate it!! Mahalo
Tiffany F.2024-08-22We went for a same day appointment at Bliss Animal Hospital with Dr. Sam and we understood why my friend referred us to Dr Sam. We were really impressed that Dr Sam was so kind and explained everything to us so well in detail. The office is brand new and looks so nice and clean, and the staff is so very friendly and helpful. The location is so convenient too. We just can't be happier to find a great vet close to home.
Antoine B.2024-08-09I cannot give Bliss enough praise for the level of care, compassion, and professionalism they deliver! I took my newly adopted Aussie, Lacey, to get checked out for an eye irritation and to remove her sutures from her spay. Every single person that I spoke to was so kind and eager to help us. Kiana was great with assessing the current state with Lacey and providing education on their process and what next steps would look like. Dr. Nai came in and sat down with us and the two of them were able to calm down Lacey and really get her comfortable enough to provide treatment. By the end of it, Lacey was doing tricks for treats for them!! Even after completing the necessary treatment for the eye and sutures, Kiana went over a wellness checklist with me to ensure I knew everything that I needed to provide the best level of care for Lacey. We went over dental health, potential diseases in the breed and suggestions for preventative measures to make sure she stays healthy. We ended up going with a couple of vaccines to protect Lacey as we are outside a lot and they did it on her without any struggle whatsoever! Everyone here cares so much about providing the best care possible for the animals that come through their door and are also there to provide education and compassion while doing it. This is my go to vet!!!
Jason R.2024-08-07We brought our Yorkie into Bliss today for a checkup and some issues he's been having recently. Dr. Pataro, Kiana and the staff were both welcoming and thorough on his first visit to the practice. Highly recommended!
Christina M.2024-07-19Our 11 year old golden retriever, Gilbert, needed to be seen due to him having heavy panting . I called this morning shortly after they had opened to see if Gilbert could be seen sooner than later. They were so friendly on the phone and welcoming and got Gilbert in on the same day. The office is clean, bright and cheery! Mandy the vet assistant was so friendly and kind. Dr Nay took her time and put my mind at ease that Gilbert was in great hands. This place is a gem! No pushy sales tactics! Very reasonable prices and QUALITY CARE! A+
