Miss Bryn was empathetic, patient, kind, and very professional. This was a very difficult decision for me and my family but her guidance and thorough explanations before, during, and after the process was exactly what was needed. Charlie's condition was unexpected and aggressive. I had thought I would have years left to love on him. Unfortunately, that was not the case. I hope no one ever has to be in this position to make this decision but I am glad this company and their representatives are available for families.

They helped our princess Lollipop cross in 2024 and needed them again for our boy of Joy Cashew this time. Like with Lolli, the vet that came to the house was incredibly sensitive which helped us through this unbearable event to our hearts. When we were able to pick up the ashes and our boy's paw print & vial of hair, the girl was very sweet, kind & understanding which helped us through it. They have so many special ways to honor your pet, even jewelry made with ashes. Bless this group for doing what they do and how sensitive and kind they do it to help others through this.

I had a very disappointing and concerning experience at this vet office and would strongly caution…read moreothers before bringing their pets here, especially if you have a working dog breed. During our visit with Dr. Hackett, I felt like I was unnecessarily alarmed and pushed toward additional testing that turned out to be completely unnecessary. I brought in my two dogs, including my Border Collie, whose heart rate Dr. Hackett immediately treated as a serious concern. She made it sound like something could be very wrong and suggested multiple tests to rule out an emergency situation. My border collie also gets seizures which I told Dr. Hackett about and she told me she thought they are fainting spells due to his low heart rate, not seizures. Which I also got confirmations he definitely has seizures and nothing else like she suggested. After leaving very worried, I sought second opinions from other veterinarians. They all reassured me that my Border Collie's heart rate was completely normal for the breed and that they have seen even lower heart rates in athletic dogs like him despite his seizures. What was presented to me as potentially alarming was actually very typical. The same thing happened with my senior dog. Dr. Hackett told me her kidney and liver values were elevated and strongly pushed further testing, making it sound urgent. When I had another vet review the labs, they explained the values were only slightly elevated and extremely common in older dogs. They even told me she is far more likely to pass from old age before those numbers would ever reach liver failure levels. They also mentioned the slight elevation could simply be due to her high-protein diet. The experience left me feeling like fear was used to push unnecessary testing rather than providing balanced, knowledgeable guidance. It caused a lot of unnecessary stress and extra expense. Because of this, I would personally recommend seeking care elsewhere and getting a second opinion if you are ever told something is urgently wrong here.

My cat Charlie required immediate care and ultimately surgery on 8-13-25. I was so scared that I…read morewas going to lose Charlie. He hid in a large bush but was meowing in pain. He finally came out a few hours later, with help from several neighbors. He needed urgent help and I started at my neighborhood vet, Rancho San Carlos Pet Clinic. Charlie and I were offered immediate assistance. All of the staff were so kind and showed great care as we determined Charlie's injuries. They were calm, and therefore, he was calm. After X-rays and CT of his organs, he showed that he had no broken bones or punctured organs/internal bleeding! However, he did require reattachment of his skin to his bones on one of his hind legs and stitches on his other leg. A huge thanks to Dr. Halsey and her team and we were sent quickly to Tell Tail Moonlight Veterinary Center in Encinitas, where they were ready and waiting for Charlie! The office staff was also very kind and caring and the facility is very clean-I didn't even detect that it was a veterinary center with my nose. Dr. Soares was very thoughtful and thorough explaining the surgery plan, and her team successfully completed the surgery, as well as a toe amputation. They worked on him well past closing time. Veterinary angels, if you ask me! Hands down, I would give my highest recommendation to both of these businesses for your veterinary needs. I saw a lot of happy pets and happy owners that day while I waited for Charlie! I'm a huge fan!

The specialists take the time to thoroughly answer questions and never make you feel rushed. Our appointment lasted nearly two hours because we had so many questions about our dog's medical condition, and the entire team remained attentive and supportive throughout the visit. We did experience a small issue with a prescription that was sent to Costco. Since it was a Friday, it took several phone calls to get everything clarified. What truly impressed us was the level of accountability and customer service. The doctor personally called us on a Saturday to apologize for the prescription error and ensure everything had been resolved. This was our second visit, and based on the compassionate care, professionalism, and dedication of the staff, we will absolutely be returning. I highly recommend this hospital to anyone looking for exceptional veterinary care for their pet.

The initial session for 90 minutes flew by and there was a lot of information and services that they offered, including red light therapy, water therapy, gym/physical therapy and Adequan shots. While it can be costly. I feel like the services are 100% worthwhile. It doesn't hurt that. We also have pet insurance. The facility is always clean. In my opinion very well run, organized with receipts being sent over email and confirmation calls and emails. What's stood out most is Dr. Schuda encouraging us to get an MRI which we did (at another specialty hospital) to properly diagnose my dog's ailment. It makes so much sense so that we can customize her therapy and rehab correctly. She has been in communication with all of our vets now, our holistic vet, neurologist, and surgeon.

TLDR: Animals Only offers superior PT and rehabilitation for our precious fur babies. You and your…read moreloved ones will feel properly cared for in their beautifully balanced personal and professional clinic. While every case is, of course, unique, we are SO thrilled to share that we have had enormous success with our young pup's dual hind MPL - from limping to now sprinting about, much of which is thanks to the hard work and care Animals Only provided to our pack. When our 9 month old, mixed, small breed puppy, Zaniyah, had a minor slip and fall and could not bear weight on her left hind, exhibiting a limp, we got her checked immediately, thinking she had a minor accident. It ended up being more than we thought: she was diagnosed with MPL grade 3 in her left hind, grade 1-2 in her right hind, and both her hind legs exhibiting bone deformity. We knew we were in for a long haul into territory we had never ventured. I immediately sought consultations with rehab clinics to get her what she needed, in hopes to bypass surgery, if possible. Our primary vet, Dr. Stuart at Coast View, suggested Animal's Only along with other clinics. From the moment I called and spoke with Todd, Animal Only's co-owner and manager, I knew they were going to be a great fit for our baby girl, and would offer a plan tailored to her needs. Animal's Only's convenient location , positive, care-forward vibe from the team and Dr. Schuda's kind, supportive and knowledgeable care only solidified my confidence. Zaniyah loved her new friends, right away, too! Our baby girl was gently pre-habilitated with AO for about 2.5 months to get her ready for surgery, mainly utilizing gym sessions and water/hydrotherapy. While the nature of Zaniyah's condition in her left hind ended up requiring surgery, we were able to coordinate with her speciality surgeon in LA alongside AO to give her the best rate of success and full recovery. Dr. Schuda was diligent with keeping Zaniyah's professional team updated, ensuring comprehensive care. Once Zaniyah healed enough from her surgery, approx a month post-op, we resumed PT under AO's care which lasted about 4.5 months. We added some laser therapy to her care alongside the gym and hydro treadmill. We also opted for Adequan injections to help her joints have the proper fluid flow, encouraging healing. We were exceedingly diligent with her at-home care and exercises, adhering to detailed instruction given by Dr. Schuda and the team. From the beginning of our time doing pre-hab/pre-surgery thru her rehabilitation after surgery, Zaniyah loved her time at the clinic, and so did we. While it definitely is a journey of ups and downs - as is the case with the trajectory of this type of healing - so long as you put in the time, care and commitment to the journey, you absolutely will have the support, guidance and top-notch skills needed to get your fur baby to the most optimal outcome. It is worth it. Zaniyah graduated from Animals Only a couple months ago and is truly thriving. She has not needed another surgery despite her right hind still having MPL grade 1-2 and minor skeletal deformity (you'd never be able to tell by looking at her though). We are certain that all the time, effort and care from prehab to rehab directly attributed to our success story. We are SO grateful for Animals Only providing the very best care and love to our pack. You will be, too.
