Veterinarians in Oceanside, CA

“We were only visiting the area when our golden got sick. Oceanside vets were extremely friendly compassionate and we got Charlie in right away. They were thorough in his examination and very professional. Highly recommend”

“If you want a vet who truly cares about your pet this is the best option. Dr. Morris and her staff are kind and loving. I can't imagine taking our pets anywhere else.”

“I was able to get same day appointments for two new additions to my family this week. Cameron at the front desk was so friendly and excellent assisting with the appointments offering what worked best for me and checking us in . Both experiences were more than 5 stars ! I brought in my TJ rescue , Sugar , and she was so loved on by the staff and Dr. Lisek even responded super fast to my follow up email . Today, I brought in my other new rescue Pepper and saw Dr. Jarrah . Her technician was so gentle to my baby and Dr. Jarrah spent the entire time loving on her while we went over her exam and recommendations. They borrowed her to the treatment area and she came back calm, happy and purring after her blood draw and urine . Sugar and pepper look forward to their follow up visits . This hospital is also very big , clean and parking is easy .”

“Digger came in for a routine tooth cleaning procedure and a couple other incidentals. I was very pleased with the time Dr Amir Liaghat spent with me to explain any questions I had. Digger is a very sensitive miniature Australian Shepard and has anxiety issues when in an uncomfortable surrounding. I was impressed when Dr Liaghat accommodated us and let me stay with him (in the waiting room) through the process of drawing blood and even gave him a sedative to calm him down before he was ready to begin the procedure. I had a 9 am appointment and had Digger back home by 12!
Of course, dental cleanings are not cheap, but I thought the price was more reasonable than other estimates I have received in the past. I would recommend Temple Heights Animal Hospital to anybody, especially if they have a pet with anxiety issues!”

“It was a reasonable price for our cat’s (Squishylilyloaf, see IG) dental cleaning (less than our regular vet). Everything went well! We used a coupon (first office visit free) too.”

“When I was a teenager one of your employees witnessed my mother abusing me when my cat was sick at your clinic. Sadly, my cat had to be euthanized due to cancer, but your employee told me to leave home as soon as I turned 18 and her advise saved my life. I wish I remembered her name so I could thank her.”

“I couldn’t ask for a better place to take my beloved pup, Bernie. We use the facility for routine and urgent care, as well as day-, and overnight boarding. The facility is clean, calm and the entire staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and treat us with kindness and respect. All procedures and charges are clearly explained and they make sure we are comfortable with every aspect of the plan before proceeding with treatment and care. I will continue to recommend Fire Mountain to everyone who brings a new pet family member into their home!”

“North County Cat Hospital is absolutely the best. Dr. Aimee & Dr. Daly are so knowledgable and great and all of the Vet Staff are amazingly friendly and helpful. I've been taking my cat Henry here for almost 3 years and We always have a great experience. Henry has required a LOT of medical attention and even as he ages their recommendations have kept him happy and healthy. They also feed Henry Churus to keep him happy while they do any procedures. I had previous Vets who were unconfident and unskilled when dealing with cats and I am so thankful they are a cat only clinic. I recommend everyone I know to go to them. They are worth it! It also helps to have pet insurance, Nationwide Pet Insurance has been a lifesaver and covered a majority of my vet bills, so price was never an issue for me.”

“The girls are very nice, I know they are very busy but they always greet you with a smile. One of the tech is so sweet with my pup Zoe. I always feel comfortable leaving her. My only frustration is scheduling. I really don’t mean to be a brat but I get told different things every time. Recently I have been told twice that their last appointments they do (every day) is 4:30 but they advertise on the wall that the office closes at 6. I understand that there has to be availability but, I've been scheduling 5-5:45 appointments since Sept 2023. It’s upsetting to be kinda gaslit when I’m just trying to get care for my dog after I’m off work at 4:30p or 5p. The staff is great otherwise and that’s why we keep going to this location.”

“This is for the Vetco at this petco. Dr Rodriguez was amazing with my cat. She was so gracious and kind to us. She explained everything to us in the most sincere tone and didn't try to push anything unnecessary on us. She made me want to take all my pets here just for her only. Dr. Rodriguez is the best vet I have ever encountered and she truly cares about your pet. Thank you so much for helping our Munchkin cat and taking such good care of him and thank you for treating us with such respect.”

“Great staff awesome doctor. Very nice. accommodating. and was very good to Lillie lola. They took Lillie in rt away made her feel comfortable. I always go back to surfside. They really work with u. That is a great feeling. Since it is so expensive to get your dog treated.”

“I cannot say enough about the incredible team at VCA Mission Animal and Bird Hospital. Over the past few weeks, they cared for my dog James during the most difficult time of his life and mine.

What started as trying to understand why James had developed a cough led to a difficult diagnosis of advanced cancer. Throughout every step of that journey, the staff here was honest, compassionate, and genuinely caring. They never made me feel rushed, always took the time to explain everything clearly, and helped me make the best decisions possible for James.

I want to specifically recognize Dr. Bernal, Dr. Litwaitis, and vet assistant Raquel. These three were exceptional. They treated James with such kindness and dignity at every visit, even when he was anxious and not feeling well. Their compassion extended beyond just medical care, they cared about James as an individual and about our family as a whole.

The front office team also deserves recognition. Every single visit they were warm, welcoming, and kind. It made walking through a difficult door just a little bit easier every time.

James passed away peacefully at almost 12 years old. He went on a good day, in my arms, after receiving the best possible care from this team. As heartbroken as I am, I have nothing but gratitude for everyone at VCA Mission who helped make his final weeks comfortable and his passing peaceful.

If you are looking for a veterinary team that will treat your pet like family, look no further.”
