“Dr. Hall is an awesome doctor. She took so much time to explain everything to me and constantly reassured me that my pup was OK. She is the fifth and final vet that I will go to. I had the hardest time finding a really good veterinarian in the area. My little Yorky, Sophia, went into her office, trembling and left perfectly relaxed. Thank you for all the time you took and explaining everything to me, Dr. Hall. I look forward to our next visit.”
“Dr. Goode is amazing. She was so patient with my big guy and made him feel comfortable. He doesn’t like his paws touched and she got it done! Vet techs are awesome and just overall a great experience.”
“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.”
“Wonderful folks at this location, especially Denise! It is evident that she loves animals and my cats love her ?!Very welcoming and patient answering questions and concerns. Location has a homey feel and the vets are not knowledgable, but personable as well. I have had teeth cleaned/pulled for 2 cats and they always try to save teeth and keep prices down.”

“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!

“The entire staff at the hospital is fantastic, but Taylor stands out as a truly wonderful and caring vet tech who goes above and beyond. When I see that she is there the day of my fur babies appointments I instantly light up! She’s incredibly kind and thoughtful and Steve and Sam love her!! She deserves all the praise in the world. Thank you for making such a difference in our lives.”
“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.”

“My husband and I unfortunately had to put our cat down last week. The staff were very kind and compassionate. We had to make a very hard decision and we could tell they cared and treated our cat with kindness and love. It was a very welcoming environment overall. Saying goodbye to my cat was one of the hardest moments of my life and they never once made us feel rushed or stressed about having to make the decision. We got to spend as much time as we wanted with her before euthanizing and everything was explained to us very thoroughly. We will forever miss her but I am so grateful that we went to VCA and I know she was treated with kindness, respect, and love.”
“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?”
