Not one the the practices that puts you on a time schedule then says you're done. Dr. Hall is one of the nicest vets in the area. I would recommend her office to everyone.“

“We are new to the area and found Dr. Fife here at this office. The staff and Doctor are amazing. They have been very professional and caring. Dr. Fife was prompt in helping take care of our poodles-one which had to have emergency care. She is very knowledgeable and we are impressed with the great care she has given our 4 legged family members. The techs have been amazing each visit. The office is clean and in a great location. We signed up to use their petly plans and are happy with that service as well. Highly recommend if you have puppies!“

“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!

Super clean and friendly staff as well“

“Absolutely the best animal hospital in San Diego county. Amazing, tentative staffing. Dr. Morizi is a caring, gentle & extremely experienced in his field. With over 20 yrs + experience. I have been taking my fur babies to him for many years! Eventhough I know live an hour north of SD I take my babies to him! Very honest man!“

“My companion of 18 years was carried across the bridge on 8/8/2024 at 18 Dr VanWorth, Dr Kovac, and Dr Leslie had done their best in making clinical assessments on Coco at the time but for nearly 3 years in Heart disease MMVD stage B2 with severe regurgitation, Coco was always on borrowed time. On her last day X-rays showed her entire cavity filled with fluid and that was time. Coco refused to go down without a fight - her will to be loved and to live was strong but her ailing condition was inevitable Thanks for your care and the many times you work so hard to support slotting me in, even answering my calls before the office day started Bless all of you and families“

“We took our very anxious 11 year old maltipoo here and we're so happy with the staff . From the first phone call scheduling his first appointment with them I felt reassured. The vet came in and sat on the floor with him for quite some time to get him more comfortable with her and both her and the technician took time to get to know him and put us at ease . Our pup needed to have his teeth cleaned and ended up getting 4 teeth pulled. They outlined the procedure thoroughly and gave us costs before hand . On the day of his surgery they were so kind and understanding. I am so happy to have found them!“

“HOLY. CRAP.

I CANNOT say enough thanks or positivity to Barbara, Mark, and Aimee at SNUG sorrento!!!

I came into Snug in CRISIS! A dog sitting turned horrible, Jack ran away from me and fell into a canyon. After being rudely turned away by Petsmart La Jolla and given mixed information, I found Snug.

They rushed him in, immediately boarded him and gave him vet care right away! They were all increadibly kind, dedicated, and pretty!!

Thank you again for saving our lives today!“

“We have been taken care of for the past 18 years with love and respect. Everyone is loving and compassionate. I love coming to your hospital, because I know my kitty cats are in very good hands.??“

“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!“

“This guy saved my horses life.I have a 20yr old pain mare who foundered sometime 2 years ago. I had 2 vets come out, teach telling me upon examination of the radiographs that she should be out down immediately.they didn't take quality of life into consideration at all, or anything else for that matter.Needless to say I was desperate to find someone who speaializes in severe issues of the hoof.Mark was kind, clear, sincere & kind while explaining everything that he was doing and gave me his honest opinion as to where to go next in her treatment. Looked at everything as a whole and told me he didn't think that euthanasia was necessary. Though her condition wouldn't improve due to bone loss of the p3 bone , based on her activity level and zest for life, there's no reason why her condition couldn't be managed.He put her on equioxx, gave me tips on nutrition, farrier care, bedding/footing type and lots of other advice to make sure she stays comfortable for the rest of her life.*He was pricey but I didn't expect it to be cheap.I would 100% recommend mark if you have a horse with an issue with their feet. Don't let outdated veterinary training be the demise of your horse!!Thanks Mark, you are the best!!“

“Oh my goodness! What a great experience. We were, literally, out of the country with a friend watching our dog. I called and she worked us in to help our little girl! It was such a comfort knowing that she was going to be examining her and letting us know how she was! Friendly, nice and so compassionate! Thank you for seeing our Emma!“

“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!“

“This vet's office is amazing! I've never had a bad experience. They are so nice and thorough and their prices are so reasonable! They never upcharge or try and get you to agree to something that you don't need. They are so compassionate and really listen to what you are saying. You can really trust them! I highly recommend them!!“

“Been going to this vet office for 30 years. Previous vet owner to the new owners. Great office, professional, knowledgeable, compassionate, smart, and friendly staff. Old an new staff treat everyone with care. They are wonderful with my dogs. I highly recommend this Vet office.“

“I have gone to La Jolla Veterinary Hospital for over 40 years. I have trusted them all that time with several beloved pets. All good people in every position there, too. I thank them.“
