“This past week was a difficult one, as we had to say goodbye to our beloved 14-year-old dog. We are grateful that Dr. Kari Bohn helped us through this awful situation. She took her time in dealing with our dog, making sure he was as comfortable as possible. Her compassion helped us through this difficult situation.”

“So easy to make an appointment super friendly, professional help…. Extra shoutOut to Ashley she really knew her stuff and made me and Rusty ?feel comfortable she was amazing!”

“We have a 6 year old cat and a new puppy. They have been excellent and honest with both.. and as a pet owner it’s hard to trust what is necessary vs not. Prices for appts, shots, and medicine have all been very fair and have not once felt pressured or taken advantage of. They are Frank with the options.. so you can make the best decision for yourself.Also, when your appt is at a time, they will take you at that time and it will be quick.Would trust their opinion for all things pet related.Front desk is also excellent! The nicest ladies and get you in and out quickly.”

“Christi has been our vet for over 2 years and she is the most professional and compassionate vet with all of our furry babies. We are so grateful to her and Gary in her office ❤️”

“Our fur baby Daisy has a disc issue and everybody involved has been amazing and extremely helpful. Christine at the front desk is a total sweetheart and got us right in for our appointment! (Even after us being late due to traffic on the 5) Daisy's vet Dr. Leslie and vet tech Mikaela have been a joy to work with, they are very obviously dog lovers and have done everything they can to help us get Daisy back to 100%. We are thankful for you all and will certainly be coming back for any of our veterinary needs!”

“Dr. Grove is the best Vet. I have worked with her for over a decade and my babies health reflects that. I have a 14 year old cat and a 9 year old dog. Both in impeccable health and that would absolutely be because of Dr. Grove. She is a mobile vet which got my anxious kitty and for (her anxious Mother) proven to be super helpful. In the beginning when I adopted her 11 years ago I went to other Vets. Most work like a factory not taking the time and attention Dr. Grove gives. I literally trust no one other than her. She cares for my pets like no other has. My pets conditions have ranged from allergies, weight issues (Cat underweight) (Dog overweight), teeth issues, infections from underlying allergies etc. She has literally resolved them all. Even if she refers me to another doctor (like a dentist or a hospital) it’s only the best. You can tell the difference. There are not enough thanks yous I can give Dr. Groves expertise, and her bedside manner. My Pets are my children. So I take anyone that cares for them seriously.”

“Dr. Sue is the most caring and kind vet we have had the pleasure of working with. She will come to you and will take the time to understand the situation and identify the best plan of action for your pet. Words cannot express the gratitude our family feels for the way she responded to our needs with our boy Tembo. We highly recommend Pet Doc 2U!”

“Dr. Heather Kovacevich Has been our dog’s primary vet since he was a puppy. Typical French bulldog breed issues has led us on a journey of visits, procedures and tests. Two significant health concerns have been found by Dr. K. One resulted in nares surgery (BOAS) performed by Dr. Pike of (Vet Specialty Hospital in Sorrento Valley). The other issues have been carefully reviewed with us. Dr. l has also been very honest and thorough with her findings. She always errs on the conservative side when it comes to our dog. Drake Center is very well respected in the community. We have taken our dog to two of the most seasoned surgeons in SoCal for 2nd opinions. Both have always agreed with Dr. Kovacevich. One derm issue (paw sores, skin issues) resulted in an allergy test administered by a Derm at Vet Specialty. Dr. Kovacevich exhausted her efforts before referring us to the derm. Fast forward to CT scan (due to a mass growth in ear), lots of other “stuff” was found. We had the CT scan done at Vet Imaging Center SD in Kearny Mesa. Dr. Kovacevich reviewed the findings and agreed a more conservative approach should be taken to address the mass. We were prepared to schedule a major surgery.The Drake Center is reasonable considering the level of care we receive at every visit. They also have sat and sun non-emergency hours. The entire staff is very nice and professional.”

“I have been taking my animals to Cardiff Animal Hospital for six years. My pets love the staff and have always provided excellent care.The staff is fantastic; Dr. Woods, Dr. Ingram, Dr.Alan, Maddie, Arica, Hannah, Kayla, and others are professionals and experts at what they do.They have excellent bedside manner, they are patient, warm, caring, and most importantly, they listen to me. They truly love what they do and are there for the love of animals. I trust them emphatically and highly recommend Cardiff Animal Hospital to anyone that wants the best for their furry family members”

“Dr. Ryan at Banfield Pet Hospital was the most gentle, kind and informative vet I've ever met. I wanted to have my old dog's eyes runny I checked but the doctor did a thorough examination and validated what I suspected regarding his back legs. He was weak ligaments and arthritis developing in his back legs. So, now I know for sure that I need to get him some ramps so he can get on and off the furniture safely and I will not allow him to run up and down our concrete stairs. As well, his eyes were fine. The running eye was from dryness and old age. I just need to use some saline to rinse his eyes ocasionally. He didn't try to prescribe expensive medications. My visit to Banfield was beyond my expectations.”
