    6 teetj pulled out!

    Brought our 10 year old toy poodle for iral prophylaxis after some gingivitis diagnosis from a locla vet here in CV. Left home at 8:30 and Crossed the border from Otay Ranch and arrived at the clinic around 9:10am. We were #15 already in the line. Clinic is pretty busy, so please be prepared and be patient. Pet was seen arpund 10am and was given instructions to come back at 4:30pm. Heading back to CV at 10:30 am was a breezy 45 minutes drive. Went back at 3:30 pm, arrived around 5:15 due to traffic at the border and in downtown TJ. They did amazing with the oral prophylaxis and our pet ended having 6 teeth pulled. Left the clinic around 5:15 pm and areived at Otay Ranch via 125 around 7:15pm. Young vet spoke great English and exlained everything thoroughly. Paid $200 deposit and remaining $ paid at pick-up. They also groomed my pet with little boss, free of charge. They said they donit as part of their service since some dogs get blood on their faces so they want them clean when picking up. Over-all, great experience. Highly recommended!!!!

    Highly recommend Dr. Alexander- We've been on multiple occasions for several of our family's pets & every time we had our issues addressed and handled in a timely and cost effective way. Very knowledgeable vet & the receptionist is always helpful and kind. There's some free roaming cats & birds when you arrive to the location, which is a plus in my eyes at least. There's a cute little bench and waiting area outdoors along with an indoor waiting area. I'm happy with the services we've received here and will be going back as it's super convenient and a lot more cost effective than San Diego vets in general; and even better they will take you same day: first come first served which is great in my opinion. A lot of places in SD you need appointments or a trip to the ER for immediate service. Overall would definitely recommend. Must say, we have only ever been seen by Dr. Alexander the son not the dad (which is the older gentleman), so can't speak on our experience there but the son is awesome and very helpful.

    There's plenty of reliable, trustworthy veterinarians in the city of Tijuana. I initially went to the other location, which is run by the brother of this one. However, they sent me here due to more flexible hours that day. Doc Alexander was quick, to the point, very knowledgeable about animal care, and spoke to you about the best options for your pet. I not only go to México for the cheaper price the dollar value brings, but the quality of care and genuineness from the Mexican vets is simply better than the monopoly that is run by the American vets. My dog, Zeus, got seen pretty fast! On two separate trips here, here got his blood drawn, 2 separate x-rays, nails cut, full dental examination and cleaning, and a few small masses removed. This all came out to another $350. Thank you, Doc, to you and your team. Keep doing the amazing work you do. It is very much appreciated! Next time my dog requires care, I'll be coming back here.

    I can't believe I'm writing this review as I have been taking my dogs to dr Alexander for over 15 years. It was great until dr Alexander's son Christian took over that this place has just been a money factory instead of caring for our beloved pets. My 15 year old dog had a toe nail that had grown abnormally large and we routinely had come in to have it checked out. We were told many times that it was a fungus and that he can live with it. Well the last time we came in Christian had cut it off so low that it got infected then needed amputation. A "don't worry it's cheap" amputation where we had asked for a blood test to make sure he was ok for surgery because of his age. we had to come in the day before to get the test which he said his kidney function is fine and that my dog was clear for surgery. We came in a couple days later and my baby was one toe less. We were given an antibiotic and sent home and was told to come back in two weeks to take out the stitches. So basically to make a long story short, Christian cleared my dog for surgery but a month later (during this time my dogs toe was infected and needed medication and a cone which wasn't given to us) after all that he went through all of a sudden now he's not eating so we went to a different vet to get full bloodwork and not only is his kidney failing. He also has liver issues. I'm not a vet so it's not like I can read what blood tests look like especially if they're in Spanish since that is not my native language besides that prepare yourself to take notes as if your the doctor on everything that you talked about when you come in because they don't keep any files or information on your pets. Every time I went in it was a different issue that I needed to keep up with. my dog had at one point had a "heart problem" and I had to put him on medicine which I eventually weaned him off and he got better than he was before. I'm exhausted even writing all of this because I realized so much had went on, and we just didn't realize because we trusted them so much. He was so proud to say how cheap the surgery was when we've been going there since my dog was two months old enough times for it to be prevented. Not just that I have notes coming in specifically about the toe. I think he has had the kidney issues and he just wanted you to do the surgery for the money knowing his life is short (as we were worried about). He even said to me that he would have done the surgery with out the test but I insisted on it. We we're very apprehensive and even doing the surgery but like I said did because we had trusted him. You could message me privately if you want more information but I used to send so many people here and was proud to call them my vet, and now I don't even want to drive past this place. It's too bad it had to end this way, and I feel sorry for my dog who had to endure more than he should have. I don't think anybody should support this place even the grooming salon cuts their skin, and the haircuts are always uneven My dogs have been traumatized by the groomers to the point where they tremble on the way in which was the last time we took him there as well But I guess you pay the price in the end for something that is "cheap"

    Su pancita de mi gorda

    El doctor fue directo gracias a él y dios mi perrita está mejor. Su cirugía todo bien y su cicatriz le quedó bien estoy agradecida por su trabajo. Vale la pena ir asta donde tenga que ir para sálvale la vida a tu perrito

    The best vet in Tijuana. Took my poodle because she was having seizures. Turns out it was the dog food I was giving her. The vet put her on medication along with a special diet of boiled chicken. Seizures are now gone and she's 100% better. The clinic is clean and the staff is very professional.

She was kind, compassionate, spoke perfect English, kept us updated throughout the visit, and took the time to explain our dog's condition and treatment plan clearly. She made an incredibly stressful situation much easier, and we're very grateful for the care she provided. We also saw the cardiologist while we were there. Although he seemed knowledgeable, he wasn't very friendly and often appeared annoyed when we asked questions. As worried pet owners, we were simply trying to understand our dog's condition, so his attitude was disappointing. Unfortunately, our recent experiences with the front desk have been frustrating. Last month, when our dog needed to be seen urgently, we couldn't get an appointment. The receptionist told us to take her to another clinic. We requested a referral, but our message was completely ignored. This week, I tried scheduling an appointment a few days in advance. The receptionist asked for my name and my dog's name so she could look us up in the system. After I provided the information, she never responded back. I followed up the next morning, and my message was still ignored. This was a completely different experience from the receptionist we dealt with four months ago, who always responded promptly and was very helpful. Dr. Sayra deserves five stars for her excellent care, but the lack of communication and responsiveness from the front desk has been very disappointing. When you're dealing with a sick pet, timely communication matters just as much as good medical care. I hope the clinic improves its customer service because their veterinarians deserve better support. I'd recommend to go down the street to New Vet. They are helpful and responsive!

It often felt like the nicer the place looked, the less they actually cared about the pets. Because of that, I gave up and kept paying the ridiculous vet prices in San Diego... until I simply couldn't take it anymore. Thank God I found Club de Nana on Yelp. After reading all the great reviews (and yes, they're REAL), I decided to give them a chance, and I'm so glad I did! From the moment I walked in, I could tell this place was different. The entire staff truly cares about every pet that comes in. They don't see animals as $$$ signs, they listen, they explain, and they care about your fur babies. My first green flag was seeing multiple pets being cared for behind the front desk, literally hanging out freely instead of being locked in cages, I absolutely LOVED THAT!! There are no appointments, you just wait your turn. I've been there four times, and only once did I wait for my turn about 15-20 minutes. Every other visit was less than 5 minutes. The clinic looks like a house from the outside, so parking is limited, but even then I only had to wait about 10 minutes once. I took my 7-year-old pittie because he was bleeding while peeing. They ran different tests, diagnosed him with an enlarged prostate, and recommended surgery (neutering). It's now been 11 days since he got surgery at El Club de Nana, his stitches are out, the bleeding is completely gone, and he's happier and has so much more energy. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to the doctors Lulu and Francisco, and the staff at Club de Nana. I have my healthy, happy boy back, and I couldn't be more grateful .

I was so happy when I arrived, the staff was extremely accommodating and wonderful. The clinic is very clean and has parking out front. Only about 10 mins from the border. I paid $160USD for the initial visit which covered the check-up, x-rays, and medications. Extremely affordable and fair pricing. My dog already had stitches on her cheek from another incident and the doctor offered to take them out at a later date. I went back a week after and they didn't charge me anything. She got her stitches at another vet in Poway (we paid $1100 for that visit, NEVER AGAIN). I can't recommend this place enough. Will definitely be bringing my puppies here for any veterinarian needs.

We've been coming here for several years now for vaccinations for our chihuahua. Located a few miles from the Otay border, I noticed the place when I was having work done on my vehicle at a nearby shop. I dropped in one day and saw the prices, which totally wooed me back! It had started to become inconvenient and expensive here(in US) for us. The prices are super reasonable and of course much lower than anywhere in the US. The quality and level of care is equal to if not better here, yes, believe it! Note: Take the time to exchange dollars into pesos, to avoid miscalculations and improper change back from transactions. On our occasional visits, there has been only one quality, licensed veterinarian that does all the exams and vaccines. Actually, we like this. He remembers our dog even though we come only once a year, and this goes a long way with us. He scolded my wife when she confessed to giving our little dog pork & chicken bones. I warned her.. More of a personal touch. It's never been a long wait time, and we can drop off the dog and hit Wicho's across the street, or shop at Soriana, which happens to be in the same parking lot. We always call ahead,(which I recommend)to make sure the doctor is in that day. It is a full on pet and feed store too with many items for cats, dogs, birds, chickens, etc. They have found a customer for life!!
