“Our puppy loved Dr Doumani, she gave a free consultation and answered all of our questions. The vet techs are very sweet and take the time to get to know our pet. We will be coming here for all of our baby’s needs!“

“Dr. Farrell spent a lot of time with us going through the procedure step by step and answering all of our questions thoroughly. The office staff is very easy to contact via text with questions during the recovery phase and very supportive. If our dog tears his other CCL (which is bound to happen), we will be right back at this same office for the next surgery!“

“Couldn't be any happier with Santa Fe Animal Clinic. From the front desk to the assistants to the doctors themselves, the staff is great. Thank you, keep up the great work. ?“

“I have had pets all my life and have been to many vets. Most of the vets I’ve had are great, but this vet clinic goes so beyond great, it’s like nothing I have ever experienced. It is such an amazing, welcoming, compassionate environment.

My dog and cat have both had some health issues, so we have been there quite a bit this year. Dr. Mark ALWAYS takes time to explain everything and has so much empathy and compassion. He is incredibly knowledgeable and thorough. Jenna at the front is so kind and friendly. The veterinary assistants are so sweet and gentle with my pets.

Even when I got some bad news about my cat, Maggie, I didn’t feel alone. I felt they were hurting right along with me. It’s rare to find that type of humanity in business. I can’t praise this clinic enough.“

“I’m beyond grateful to Dr. Lindsey and his entire team for their loving care, support and medical expertise. I brought in my foster puppy who has a healing broken leg, and is very sad that she cannot go on walks. The team put together a plan for her care, evaluated her leg, prescribed antibiotics, and also gave me some medicine to help her feel comfortable. Everyone in the office was extremely professional and helpful, and I am eternally grateful because they gave me peace of mind during this difficult situation. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone who is looking for compassionate care for their animals.“

“Academy Animal Hospital has been taking care of our pets for 20 years. When our schnauzer, Willie, finally (at age 14) had to be put down, Dr. Beccari felt as bad as I did. All the employees are so helpful. Danny, the vet tech, is knowledgeable and caring. We always get a follow-up call. Our Winnie loved all the people there and they helped us manage her cancer.. And now Sammy the Schnauzer enjoys his visits with Dr. Reimann. I would recommend Academy to anyone.“

“My cat was very calm during the visit and even laid comfortably on the scale with her paws tucked under the whole time. Our questions were answered fully. I will be bringing my other cat in as well.“

“I recently took my dog Sheeva to Rose Canyon Animal Hospital to be spayed, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From start to finish, Dr. Hanks and the entire staff were absolutely amazing.

Dr. Hanks is kind, thorough, and truly cares about his patients. He made me feel completely comfortable and confident about Sheeva’s procedure, answering all my questions with patience and compassion. The staff was so warm and attentive, and I could tell Sheeva was in the best hands possible.

After her surgery, they gave her so much love and made sure I had everything I needed to take care of her at home. She recovered so smoothly thanks to the excellent care she received.

I’m beyond grateful to Dr. Hanks and the Rose Canyon team, they treated Sheeva like one of their own. If you’re looking for a vet who combines skill, compassion, and genuine love for animals, this is the place to go.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend!“

“Brought my French bulldog here because he was having lots of skin issues. The staff is beyond friendly and answered all my questions. I’m so grateful I found such a caring place. My boy has done so much better since coming here.“

“I've used this veterinarian for many years. They are an excellent clinic. I will continue to use them“

“I recently visited Encinitas Animal Hospital with my pet, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff was warm and welcoming. The clinic was clean and well-organized, which immediately put my pet at ease.

Dr. Ullman was thorough, compassionate, and incredibly knowledgeable. They took the time to answer all of my questions and explain the treatment options in detail. I never felt rushed, and my pet was treated with the utmost care and attention.

Overall, the service was excellent, and I left feeling confident that my pet was in great hands. I highly recommend Encinitas Animal Hospital to anyone looking for top-notch veterinary care!

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Santaluz Animal Care and Dr. Laura Johnson! They saved my dog Hei-Hei’s life, and I will forever be grateful for their compassion, skill, and generosity. Our 7 lb. Chihuahua had been wasting away, dropping to 5.5 lbs. due to a severe dental infection. His white blood cell count was elevated, he was in pain, and they also discovered early-stage renal failure. We were terrified, but Santaluz Animal Care went above and beyond. We explained that we could only afford $1,000, and they stayed within budget without cutting corners. They did full blood work, a complete dental extraction, all necessary medications, a prescription diet change, X-rays to ensure no roots were left, ear cleaning, nail trimming, and anal gland expression—all at no extra charge. We were nervous about anesthesia, but Dr. Johnson reassured us that Hei-Hei would do wonderfully and even confirmed his heart was as strong as a younger dog’s. What truly amazed us was their flexibility and kindness. On Tuesday, 02/11/25, they took him in immediately—even though they don’t typically accept same-day emergencies. They also don’t do extractions on Wednesdays, meaning we might have had to wait until Thursday, 02/13/25—a delay he may not have survived. Dr. Johnson was empathetic, kind, and accommodating. My husband had to handle everything alone, and they treated him with so much care and respect. From start to finish, the entire staff showed an incredible level of dedication and compassion. If you need a vet that truly cares and will go the extra mile for your pet, Santaluz Animal Care is the place to go. They didn’t just save our dog’s life—they gave us more precious years with him. We are beyond thankful! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend!“

“Dr. Berk is the best Veterinarian! He's taken care of my Maltipoo for 8 years now. He saved her life from day 1 that I got her & just recently successfully surgically removed what turned out to be a benign mass in her mouth. The most important quality in Dr. Berk is not only is he very knowledgeable & helpful, but he is truly caring & loves the animals he takes great care of, along with his great staff. You can feel that he truly cares. I highly recommend him if you are looking for an excellent veterinarian.“

“De olmedo was amazing diagnosing, treating and caring for my beloved dog! We were back to full health in ten days after the perfect prescription was provided. We switched from a prior vet to come here as our prior vet misdiagnosed him, wasted a month on the wrong meds and cost us loads of time and money treating! So happy we came here and will continue to do so to keep my boy happy and healthy!“

“Pablo LOVES everyone at Snug and has been going here for 1.5 years! He’s done boarding, daycare, stay and trains. Everyone is so so sweet to him and amazing to work with. Highly recommend! Shoutout to Barb + Miah for always helping me at the front!“

“I can’t recommend a vet more highly than Dr. D. She and her entire staff are amazing. They have taken the best care of my “senior” Boxer since he was 4 months old. Always caring, always going above and beyond to resolve all of his issues, which have been many over the years—GI problems, cancer tumors, corneal ulcers, gum hyperplasia--you name it! Each time, she has discussed the options/outcomes with me and together we have agreed upon a treatment plan to maximize his quality of life. I wouldn’t trust my dog to anyone else.“

“Professional. It was busy because it was a Saturday. A few emergency last minute add ons. The communication was clear that they were busy and I did not feel neglected nor did our appointment time run too long. We were still in and out within about 45 minutes for a vet tech visit to get vaccinations for my dog. Shelley, Manny, & Dr. Wilcox are friendly, professional, & knowledgeable. Thank you all. Congratulations on the new clinic/hospital. It is beautiful!“

“Update:

After my cat went over the bridge, I was petless until recently when I adopted a lovely male labradoodle. True to the great service I received previously with my cat, they welcomed Doc with great service and many scratches. Still a great vet hospital, and Dr. G is still the best.

I was referred to BVH when my previous vet's office closed, and I couldn't be more pleased. Everything is explained in detail, and the Dr. my cat sees is great with cats. Mine is a brat, but Dr. Gunderson is able to calm her right down. She is thorough and informative, and very interested in the well being of her furry patients. The fact that she has a number of her own cats helps, I'm sure. Very impressed with both the care and the ease with which I can schedule an appointment. Thanks BVH staff.“

“I highly recommend Dr. Lee, Andrew, and the team at the Drake Center. Our cat and dog have received excellent care from the team. Dr. Lee in particular has been incredibly kind, diligent, and plain spoken when diagnosing our pets and developing a treatment plan for them.“
