About Santa Barbara Pet Hospital
Santa Barbara Pet Hospital is a privately owned veterinary practice offering primary care services with a team of three veterinarians. The hospital has recently reopened, encouraging masks but not requiring them. While they no longer provide holistic services, the hospital is known for its quick and thorough care. Many clients appreciate the kind service during routine visits, such as wellness checks for pets. One pet owner traveled from San Diego for their puppy's surgery, praising the expertise and kindness of Dr. Mobraaten. However, some clients have expressed concerns about high costs and treatment recommendations during critical situations. Overall, Santa Barbara Pet Hospital aims to provide quality care for pets, with a focus on professionalism and compassion.
As someone who loves birds I was thrilled to finally get a chance to come here! The lobby was like a museum with all different kinds of birds! It’s definitely a special place and must see if you are a bird enthusiast like me! I didn’t even bring my birds…HA I went to go meet birds! I suggest that all bird lovers who come to SB Pet Hospital bring their own feed. The hospital provided me some but I ran out quickly after 6 or 7 feeds. Who needs the discovery channel if you can just go to the waiting room at SB Pet Hospital and get a full experience.
Dr. Mobraaten is absolutely the best! Traveled all the way from San Diego to Santa Barbara for my 10 month old pup’s first surgery. I was so nervous trying to research a place for her spay and microchip but felt completely at ease with the SB Pet Hospital knowing she’d be in the best hands! Dr. Mobraaten is so kind, patient and a total expert in her field! Look no further and bring your pet here!
While this 24 hour emergency hospital is very much appreciated and the staff is friendly and kind, the cost is OUTRAGES AND $5000 upfront to treat my pet who was fatally ill, but they continue to recommend treatment knowing that she wouldn't make it. This is a large Southern California Vet practice that is all about money.
