“My little dog is always so happy to go here! The vet techs are always kind and caring. Prices are a little higher than other places, but I believe it's worth it for the quality of care my pup gets here. I never have trouble making an appointment that fits in my schedule. They also take care credit, which is a great bonus for any vet office.”

“Dr. Topper is the best, according to Stanley and me. She listens, investigates when necessary - glad to be here! I love that she is very tolerant of my 10,000 questions blurted out at the same time!”
“The team at Felton vet has been there for me when pet sitting for family member’s pets - both a dog and a cat. Their team - each of the 7 or 8 professionals I’ve interacted with - has been professional, thorough, friendly, efficient and kind. I’m grateful they’re in our community.”
“This was my first time going and my cat Rosie’s first time going. The staff were amazing! Super helpful. From the reception when I initially called for the appointment. She was super helpful answering all my questions and making me feel secure on my decision to take my cat Rosie here. Dr Rhiannon was super helpful. Answering all questions and being gentle to my cat Rosie. I would highly recommend pet owners to Chanticleer veterinary hospital. Thank you!”
“Dr. Hoefer is by far the best health care provider there is! I always wish she could be my own doctor. She truly cares about not only the animals, but the pet parents as well. I would give a galaxy of stars to this place as my personal recommendation.”
“Absolutely wonderful. My cat broke her tooth a week or so ago, I was scheduled with a different vet that suddenly wasn’t able to help her. I called Santa Cruz Vet Hospital and they were able to get my cat in same day for an exam, and schedule an extraction procedure the following day. My cat was SO comfortable being in this office, the vet who saw her was amazing and gave my cat the space and patience to get comfortable before being picked up. The front office and back office techs are wonderful as well! I would 100% recommend this vet office to anybody and everybody. Thank you everyone at this office for being so helpful and kind :)
Edit: I forgot to add that this clinic is extremely affordable in terms of veterinary care. The estimate that i received from them was considerably lower for the exact same care from other clinics in the area, i wish i could give more than 5 stars for everything!”

“Dr. Em and Dr. Shull are the absolute best! We have been bringing our pets here for over 30 years, and they have always been so understanding, kind, and experts in their field. Dr. Miller is always an incredible sounding board, and recently, with my dog Cooper's surgery, they have been with me every step of the way and encouraged me to get a second opinion. They are fast to respond and reliable. They always make you feel as if your pet is their pet, and you can tell they truly care. I know I can always text and call and get a quick response that is thoughtful and helpful. Their front-of-office staff is also incredible and always kind and helpful. I could not recommend them anymore.”
“We had to take our cat in for seizures and the staff could not have been more helpful. We were at an end of life decision and the doctor was amazing at walking me through the decision. From beginning to end, they made a very sad day as easy as it could be.”
“The reason I’m giving a 5 star is because of Dr Sangimino. In my dog’s 12 years of life with different doctors, she is the best Vet because she is kind, empathetic, and appears to genuinely cares for my dog. Dr Sangimino calmed my dog before examining her, and she talked through the examination, which I found helpful. I am very thankful for her.”
“So far, so good. We dropped off our pup there for her first overnight stay since they are close to our house.
The staff was friendly, and everything went smooth. Not to mention, their daycare and over night stays are reasonably priced.
The only feedback I'd give is that they should charge/allow after hours pick-up because it's hard to be back by 3:30 otherwise you're forced to pick up the next day.
That said, I would gladly pay an extra fee for a later pickup around 7pm or so because getting home from anywhere in the bay area and beyond takes times, but could also become an additional revenue stream for the facility since people are there anyway.”
“I recently moved to the area and needed a new vet for my senior lab. My neighbor recommended Dr. T at Aptos Creekside because she specializes in older pets. I was excited to hear she was taking new patients and we got our appointment in less than a week! The front desk staff was helpful and friendly and the doctor was thorough, knowledgeable and a good listener. She answered all my questions and gave some good practical advice. Im excited to have a local vet who will help me give the best care to my old guy!”
“Dr. Kuty is not just a vet. She's an angel. When our little doggie suddenly went into crisis and we knew it was time, Dr. Kuty was able to come out within a couple of hours. She was so kind and patient with us. She talked us through everything. Her sensitivity and empathy were notable...she looked so sad, almost as though she felt the pain right along with us.
Her services didn't stop when our baby had stopped breathing. She patiently waited and let our other dog say goodbye to her. She let us walk out to the car with her, carrying Chica in a little bed. She gave us all hugs.
Later that day, I received a lovely text from Dr. Kuty. The next day, I received a sweet email. And the day after that, she sent a beautiful card in the mail.
Losing a dog is difficult. Dr. Kuty lessened that stress by helping our doggie die in the comfort of her home with her people and her brother around her.
Thank you so much, Dr. Kuty, for helping make Chica's last day as peaceful as possible. We will never forget you.”
“My only regret is not finding these vets sooner! I was so thankful when I found Dr. Maddie and all of the professionalism and expertise she brought to the drawing board for my horses. She helped us work through an allergy that has turned my horse around! She’s kind, very easy to get along with, and so willing to help. Even better, on top of all of this is that they are affordable! Their front office staff is generous and always looking to help any way that they can. They have overnighted things for me to get them to us as soon as possible. Thank you all for all you do at Adobe Equine!”
“Yay for Dr. Wells and her team ?
We appreciate your hard work and thank you so much for taking amazing care of my cat! We went in for a much needed dental cleaning, and his teeth are sparkly white now.
Highly recommend this veterinary hospital!”

“I have now been here for emergencies 2 x this year. The staff is quick with emergency, compassionate, and obviously cares about your pet. Clean and calm environment. They are great at communication and taking time to give you information. I’m so grateful for the help they have provided to my pups.”
“My first experience bringing my senior dog to Capitola Veterinary Hospital was great! The staff was very friendly, and took time getting info about my pet. Dr. Wirga was wonderful. Knowledgeable, informative and easy to talk to. I will continue to use their practice.”
“Wow. Restored my faith in humanity. Went in on an emergency basis with a very, very sick lab. Dr Shuman and a tech met us in the parking lot, helped the dog out of the car - though she was a smelly mess - and whisked her to safety, care and health. I got regular calls, answers to questions and complete confidence that she was properly diagnosed and on the road to full recovery. Went in very stressed, exhausted and worried, was met with compassion and competence. Dog is back to frisky and well. Pricing was fair and wholly transparent. Vet for life.”

“As a first-time cat parent navigating the learning curve with my kitten, Ozzy, Marc and Christine were the perfect fit for us. They both showed incredible patience and kindness, especially toward me as I learned the ins and outs of kitten care. Ozzy suffers from motion sickness, making car rides challenging, but Marc and Christine provided thoughtful solutions and medication to ease his symptoms. They made each visit easy and stress-free, helping with shots and all aspects of Ozzy’s medical care.
It’s clear that Marc and Christine genuinely love animals and understand the concerns of pet parents, which made us feel completely at ease. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring and knowledgeable veterinary professionals.”
“I’ve been going to VCA in SC for many many years and have had more than 5 dogs with them. The vets here are knowledgeable, through, friendly and truly care. I get quick appointments and answers. Never any issues just happy fur customers! I highly recommend VCA animal hospital in Santa Cruz west side”
“Very thankful to have found Exotic Pet Clinic for our rabbits! We first reached out when we found a lump on one of our rabbit's back and another vet closer to us diagnosed it as suspicious and possibly a tumor. We called Exotic Pet Clinic because we wanted to talk to a vet that specializes in rabbits and could perform surgery if needed, and Exotic Pet Clinic was super accommodating. The receptionist took down notes, requested records from our local vet, and their vet reached out to us within a few hours to let us know next steps. We were able to make an appointment quickly after to get a diagnostic with Dr. Deng, who was super nice and patient with our questions. Made the whole situation much less stressful for us after we talked to her. We scheduled a surgery to remove the lump with Dr. Stern for the week after. The day of the surgery, Dr. Stern kept us updated via text, and the clinic staff checked in on us the following days via text. We really appreciated how caring, helpful, and responsive everyone at the clinic was, from the vets to the staff!”

“I had a good experience with the Veterinarian and the staff. I just started taking my dogs to them. My first visit was very expensive but I understand because there was so many tests. I would recommend this place because they are very thorough and knowledgeable. They are kinda expensive is the only reason they didn't get 5 stars. The service they provided was wonderful so if you love your little or big ones this place is for you. Thank you Animal Hospital of Soquel!”
“I absolutely LOVE Del Mar Pet Hospital!My dog is so excited to go every time he whines with excitement when we get down the street. My cat even falls asleep on the exam table when she's there.The staff and Drs are so friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and work with you on pricing.They are the most fair priced vet I've been to in SC county, and I've been to a lot.I'm talking $100 cheaper for a frequent shot I have to get my pup. I've been fleeced before coming here.The waiting room is inviting and clean. They even offer free teas and coffee while you wait!Ordering prescriptions is an absolute breeze and at super reasonable prices as well.I only had to wait 10 minutes for blood work to come back! I've never experienced that at a vet anywhere in this town before. You can get your results for basic panels while you're still there!They accept CARE credit and most pet insurance too.I'm very sad I only recently discovered them before I'm moving out of state.Do yourself a favor and start taking your pet to Del Mar Pet Hospital ASAP!”
