I am in from out of state when my young dog needed treatment the same day. This was the third office I had called, and the staff were kind and able to fit me in the same day. Dr. Desnoyers and staff were kind, compassionate, and thorough. I was incredibly happy to receive such great quick care at a reasonable price.

I’m so happy I found this animal hospital and Dr. Desnoyers. My dog was sick and my regular veterinary hospital could not see him and the doctor got me in right away and helped my poor Bailey. The compassion and knowledge she showed towards me and my situation made me switch hospitals. I won’t go anywhere else! Thank you Dr. Desnoyers!!!!

I’ve been taking my dogs and cats to the San Diego Pet Hospital for 10 years now. The support staff, technicians and doctors throughout the years always express concern and care for the well-being of my pet, past and present, as if it were their own. I personally feel welcome and at ease, as most know and recognize me whether I am walking into the office or calling. I am always provided with options when it comes to the best care related to the health of each based on their specific need. I never feel pressured one way or the other, only sound advice which I appreciate because caring for 6 dogs and 2 cats can be costly, even with pet insurance. I’ve lost a few pets in the 10 years but the compassion, kindness, professionalism, and warmth I always feel at this veterinary hospital was always part of the healing process during those very difficult times when it was time to say farewell, until we meet again.I am stunned to read anything but positive reviews because it has been nothing but a great experience with this veterinarian hospital for the past 10 years. I recommend this hospital for your pet’s care.

I took my dog Browning to San Diego Pet Hospital when he had an ear infection. The front staff was kind and got me into a room right away, which I was thankful for since he is a nervous dog. Dr Desnoyers was extremely kind and gentle with my boy. They cleaned my dog's ears and prescribed me medication and my dog felt better within a few days. Overall, it was a great experience and I'd recommend this vet to friends and family.

I was there for a month for an internship. The most amazing staff work there and I will miss them all. Trust me when I say they will care for your pets as if their own and treat them with the kindest hearts. They really do deserve a better rating.

San Diego Pet Hospital is a great place to take your pets. This was our first time today with our newly acquired Australian Cattle Dog. The entire staff was helpful and informative. Made us feel welcome by the way they all paid attention to our dog Missy. If you are looking for a new veterinarian, try them, you’ll be glad you did.

I had to say farewell to my sweet kitty today. I am so grateful for the way Dr Wilcox and the staff handled the situation. I left feeling I had made the right decision and the procedure was gentle and peaceful. They were very caring and compassionate. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this facility.EDIT: I received a wonderful sympathy card from the staff. What a nice thing. Thank you!

Brought my 16yr old cat in as she wasn't doing well. San Diego pet hospital happened to be one of the very few clinics open before 0800. I was treated with respect and empathy considering the options I had. I was encouraged once I made the decision and my cat was treated with care.I can't say that I had a great time or that I left in a great mood. I did leave feeling like I did the right thing after saying goodbye. The gals are great and I appreciate the services

Great place with caring people, whether it's keeping your pets healthy or helping you say goodbye to a sick pet (we've done both). Always honest and up front about any costs for care before services are performed. You can request an appointment or ask a question online and someone will call you back promptly. They're open 7 days a week, so I never have trouble finding an appointment that fits my schedule. If you adopt from SD Humane, they honor the vet visit coupon that comes with your adoption. I highly recommend this veterinary office.

These guys care tremendously and I really loved having them as my vet. Came in with my little guy and he had pustules all in his ears and mouth, he also had a pretty high fever. They didn't recognize what it was initially but they put him on an antibiotic regime that helped pretty quickly, then they did a biopsy and a culture and it came back as Staph. Weirdest way I've ever seen Staph present. It came back a little about a week or so later so they just had me give him a higher dose of the antibiotic he was on and it worked. Thank you guys for saving my boy.

I take my dog and my cat here regularly. I can always trust they're in good hands. The staff deeply cares about animals.

I brought my older pup in due to the facility I was going to could not fit him in. The staff couldn't have been more professional and friendly. They were understanding of the situation and Zeus was able to be put out of his pain and suffering. This place is a class act. Thanks for everything!

Had a great experience taking my cat here for an urgent visit. They were able to see me the same morning I calledI do wish they had weekend appointments available though.

I had stopped taking my babies to this clinic during the pandemic due to soaring prices and their need to push tests and procedures that my pets did not require, however, the clinic is once again under new management and it is a caring and loving place for your pets as well as the owners. They truly care about the welfare of your pets. Their care and wellbeing is number one and pushing useless tests and procedures has stopped!!!

Dr. E and the staff went above and beyond providing compassionate care for my rescue pup, who is very shy and fearful of strangers. While we were only there for routine vaccinations and prescriptions, she took her time to gain my pup’s confidence before examining and treating him. The end result is a healthy dog with no traumatic experience that is only helping him on his journey to growing into a confident adult dog.Their compassion and kind approach to the entire well being of my dog was quite impressive. By the end of the visit, my dog was wagging his tail and happily taking treats from Dr and staff, which is a huge new accomplishment for him. Well done!!! Thank you so much!

When it was time to let our Lucy go I didn't want to take her to her regular vet. I found San Diego Pet Hospital online and went on their website. I called and scheduled an appointment. The lady on the phone was so compassionate and didn't rush me off the phone. The office is so serene and peaceful. The staff kept their voices low and were very respectful. They were all so unbelievably compassionate. I will be bringing my other dogs here for regular visits.

My dog has been coming here all of his nine years and they have been good to him. The staff is consistently kind and accommodating. He is always pretty relaxed when I have taken him there. They aren't the least expensive option but they Certainly are not overpriced and they are more than willing to help you find the most affordable option. I absolutely love the staff and reccomend them to anyone who asks. Some of my friends have taken their dogs to vets based solely on price and a few of them have been sorry as their dogs either weren't cared for properly or became sick due to unsanitary practices. I have never had a problem here and my mom took her dog here for about 17 years as well. Again, I highly reccomend this place.

If I could give them a -0 I would. I came here to get the puppy package for my 2 month puppy at the time. When I first brought her in they did a poop sample and some test and they said she was in great health . After 2 weeks of having her she kept biting I took her back and they said she was in good health. My puppy finish the “puppy package” with them at 5 months. A week after her shots were completed I took her to the groomers and they said my puppy had worms!!!!!! I took her back to the vet and they told me they were adult worms and that her mom gave them to her! Then they charged me for her medication, which i should’ve have due to them doing the poop sample when I first brought her they should’ve caught it. Ounce they get your money they are rude! If you love your dog don’t come here.

Someone in a pet store recommended San Diego pet hospital when I rescued a kitten that had been thrown out of a car. They ended up being a sister location to our old vet, which we loved, but was too far away for regular care. Multiple visits, multiple issues with the kitten. They’ve been our vet since. They’re always professional, kind when my other cat needed end of life care.It’s been a few years now. Staff is kind, I never worry about my pets in their care.

The office manager, I think her name is Tracy, is so rude and unprofessional! We are sad to leave because the tech's and Vet's are so amazing with our pets. She should be cleaning kennels in the back, far away from customers!! The rest of the office staff is great, so sad they're being weighted down by someone like that!

Worst experience at a pet clinic I've ever had. They made me wait for one hour and a half even though I was there on time for my appointment. They are extremely expensive. They made me pay 150 bucks just for eye drops and made me come back for another appointment check up for my cat again a week later. Which cost me another 75 bucks and they did not even tell me how my cats corneal ulcer was doing (they claimed they needed to sedate him in order to tell us how his eye was, which costs an absurdly 300$). They even made my cat bleed from the mouth by putting a pen in his mouth, and were not even apologetic about it. They were worried about their pen instead. They are very money hungry, and their service is the absolute worst. They tried to make me pay 600 dollars for a few tests which i can not afford to do. Do yourselves a favor and go to another pet clinic in San Diego. This establishment is a joke and they will try their best to rip you off bad.

They were able to get me in for a visit very quickly. The staff was amazing and called when I was there to get my dogs old vet records. My fur baby loved everyone there. The pricing was standard for vets, but they were able to give a military discount which they just recently started to do. I had a great experience!

I took my 1 year old border collie mix here to be neutered a few weeks ago. Their attentive, tender, and well read staff convinced me and my boyfriend to continue going to this vet. The details of the surgery and costs were spelled out very clearly. They were extremely friendly and gentle with our dog. Unfortunately, even as young as he is he has some tendency towards aggression. The staff knew exactly how to deal with it on their end and even recommended a few options for home solutions. Very pleased.

Do not take your pet here, they do not care about your animal. They told me to drop my boy off at 8am to have a procedure done. I was told he’d be done around 12. I called near that time to check on him and was told that they hadn’t even gotten to him yet. He hadn’t eaten or drank anything the whole day, they told me not to feed him the day before, and he just had to sit in a cage all day. He’s not a cage dog at all and he is currently injured. When I finally got my dog which was after 3, I confronted the doctor, asking him why didn’t someone give me a curtesy call. The doc said he wasn’t going to stop his emergency procedure to tell someone to call me as if he’s the only one there working that is aware that my dog hasn’t been seen yet. I wanted to kill someone. Do not take your pet here, they are trash!!!!!

I'm very impressed with the new vet. Forgot her name but very thick accent. Friendly yet professional.1st time she's met my furbaby Bowie .He absolutely DOESNT LIKE TO BE PICKED UP.This sweet Dr Dog Whisperer carried Bowie outside so he wouldn't pull & get out of his harness.She prescribed itch Medicare. Hes tearing himself up in this heat. Definitely he's getting better.Thank you everyone @ SDPH🐶❤🐾

I wish I would have got the name of the girl I spoke with this morning June 29, 2020 at 10am. Her service was unhelpful and unprofessional. Wasn’t sure if her workplace might of been stressful or just having a bad day but whatever her problem was effected her service. I called about my year old cat. I wanted to make a wellness check up appointment because the previous day he acted a little off and I thought maybe he ate something bad. Only helped she wanted to provide was reference number to another pet vet, I didn’t feel it necessary when I was already on the phone scheduling an appointment for Friday July 3, 2020 with her. Towards the end of call we discussed my cats previous Health records I told her I had got him thru a family friend and I have very little documentation of his past. She said that if I were to bring him in he would have to get a rabies shot since I had little proof of his past health records. I did let her know before he came into my hands they had given him all of his needed shots and was neutered and the only documentation I have is a tiny paper with his weight his color and the shots they provided. She seemed unimpressed and over it at that point. I did let her know that I understand these times are stressful but it was her attitude that was definitely the reason why I would never plan to go or EVER set an appointment there. All she told me was “well I referenced you a number and you didn’t want it” The misrepresentation of the store she gave was unfair to all who actually work hard and enjoy their service. I’ve never in my life left a disappointed review anywhere. Sad to say today is my first. Hopefully she does better next time she handles a call.

Extremely DISAPPOINTED with our recent visit! After years of being loyal customers at San Diego Pet Hospital, it is sad to report that it has become a place where they only want to upsell you and cause you to spend a ridiculous amount of money to treat your dog, trying to get you to return for more appointments before they will give you antibiotics or treatment! Then AFTER you complain to the office manager regarding the excessive cost to pay for literally nothing, no treatment at all, they lie and say that your dog, who has never threatened anyone, was the problem! Either they cannot handle big dogs or, more likely, are only interested in making an exorbitant amount of money off of you during these trying times! We're OUT and will not allow our amazing dog to be victimized with lies to cover their pathetic practices!!!
