Veterinarians in Carlsbad, CA

“After our vet recommended a specialist for our Gussys luxating patella and CCL tear, we weren’t happy with the originally referred practice, so I did my own research and found SurgiPet. From the very first phone call I was impressed. They were friendly, transparent about pricing, and genuinely understanding. The entire experience, from the initial consult through surgery day and post-op care, has been seamless. Because this is their specialty, everything moves efficiently.. no unnecessary waiting or feeling like you’re just another appointment. The doctors and nurses are incredibly knowledgeable and always take the time to answer every question without ever making you feel rushed. We are so grateful we found SurgiPet. The only downside is the distance, but it is absolutely 100% worth the drive. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone whose pet needs orthopedic care.
We are so happy our Gussy boy is on the mend and will soon be back to his normal self?”

“Our visit to Canyon Creek Animal Hospital was outstanding. Dr. Hall was very thorough examining our two dogs. She had such a nice way with them, this was the first time they did not shake at the Vets. Visits to prior veterinarians were not pleasant ones. They knew as soon as we pulled into the parking lot, that they were going to the veterinarian.
This visit was so different for them. They were happy dogs. The owners were happy too.”

“From the staff to the neighborhood, Carlsbad Animal Hospital is consistently a joy to visit. Their staff is seriously so kind, and many have been there for several years. Their doctors are awesome and their prices are great for the area. 10/10 recommend!!”

“I never knew there were specialists for pet dentistry. I am so very glad I chose them over my vet (who is excellent!). However, these specialists do this full time, and nothing else. Typically a regular vet doesn’t have a dedicated dental arena with modern equipment and where everything is easily available if complications should occur. Nor is the focused experience and trained expertise comparable.
Soooo grateful to all the staff for their constant updates, concern and care throughout the surgery/ cleaning.”

“Dr. Forman and the staff took great care with my cat Merlin. I appreciated the care they took when coming and going from the exam room, so as not to spook my cat. They weren’t loud and actually took the time to really discuss aftercare in detail so that I understood it. This will be my vet from now on. Thanks Sandy Paws crew!

“If the English language had enough words to truly express how grateful I am for Mohnacky Animal Hospital and Helping Paws foundation (specifically Dr. Geroge and Kimberly Danker), they still would not be enough to convey my feelings. I was facing an enormous bill to heal my dog, Milk Dud. Mohnacky Animal Hospital and Helping Paws worked with me to quickly restore Milk Dud's hip, and provide me the relief needed to reduce my financial worries. We had a consultation on a Monday, by Wednesday she had her hip replaced, and that Friday she came home! The staff is very loving towards animals and empathetic to our concerns. They communicated with me each day about how Milk Dud was doing, and they clearly explained all pre- and post-surgery requirements. Thank you Mohnacky Animal Hospital and Helping Paws!”

“Before we had heard back from our vet about which food to buy, we had bought the wrong food and opened it already. But Petco happily let us exchange the opened bay for the right one and the guy who helped us was quite informative and empathetic to the health challenges our puppy is having. Overall, a quick and very easy experience.”

“They have an amazing first time visit deal! My cat got a free exam and a free first round of flea tick & heartworm medication. They were very understanding when my cat decided to hide in the room and swatted at them. Nice, quick and professional. Great experience!”

“I’m super happy switching our dogs vet over to Banfield Pet Hospital in Carlsbad. I have the problem child dog that wants to nip at the vet. They are so wonderful and caring. They always let me hold him and comfort him during any checkup or procedure. Even though he still hates going, we always end up leaving happy & having a good experience. In our last visit we had a dental cleaning and they found bad teeth and did extractions. I felt like they were caring and honest, and everything was explained clearly before, during, and after his procedure. He’s doing great so far the day after and I know he’s going to be such a happy boy with his new clean teeth! I highly recommend this sweet team of people in caring for any pet.”

“I drove to San Diego after my dog Bentley had cancer surgery in Canada. Unfortunately, I then received poor biopsy results and therefore radiation treatment was recommended. I'm super grateful that I was referred to Dr. Proulx and Dr. Ogilvie. They were very skilled and compassionate. Also, all of the staff without exception were professional and kind, including Rebecca and Skye. Bentley was always happy when arriving and leaving the hospital. He received 17 radiation treatments. We then returned to Canada and started chemotherapy. Bentley is doing well and we are “both” looking forward to returning to San Diego next winter. We also plan to visit the hospital and say hello!”
