I have been very hesitant to get my dog neutered for a while, but I was referred to this place…read morethrough a trusted veterinarian who didn't provide the service themselves. Anicira made this experience so easy. I felt extremely comfortable dropping my dog off with them for the service. I loved to see the service providers afterwards in the office, giving their expertise and counseling to other patients. You can really see the level of care that these vet's and staff provide for their animals and owners. This place is very busy, but they have a very structured and very efficient check-in and pick up process. It was easy, quick, and I was able to get very clear after care instructions for my dog.

Just a warning... I…read morebrought my healthy French Bulldog to All Pets for a routine visit. The vet on staff confirmed this during his checkup and I scheduled his visit for vaccines the next day, we brought him in and all was well until it wasn't. Within hours of that visit he started having severe cluster seizures, one right after the other. While my dog was actively seizing I called the office asking for help. I was told it would require a new problem visit and that I would need to schedule an appointment and pay "like any other client". I asked if I could speak with a veterinarian and was told by the front staff that vaccines do not cause seizures. I rushed my dog to VEG Emergency in Encinitas. The veterinarians there told me that in some cases receiving multiple vaccines in one visit can precipitate seizures in certain dogs. My dog unfortunately continued to struggle with seizures after that. I hate having to say I was driving past All Pets on my way to VEG while he was having breakthrough seizures and ultimately passed in my passenger seat as I held his paw. I never received any follow up from All Pets. No one reached out to ask what happened, check on him, or offer condolences. I just wanted people to know what happened, so they can make an informed decision.

But the staff and vet are worth it.

Ive never had a pet that required medical attention so having the support from their staff was very reassuring that everything was going to be ok. We loved that they not only helped cats and dogs but also exotic animals. The doors are locked at night and require the front door desk to let you in which makes it feel safe. They have snacks, coffee, water and tea to help with the nerves as your pet receives the care they need. Overall, great spot and easy to spot in this strip mall. I hope to not have to have a pet medical emergency again but if we do, we will definitely be coming back here! Thank you VEG team!

Although it was too late, Dr. Woods and her staff were immensely helpful ... words can't express. Eight years later, my new partner (Shilo) is seven years old and I made the decision to move quite a distance from where his care was being provided back to Dr. Woods. It was a big move but, after our first visit, I new I had returned home. To all the staff and to Dr. Woods who welcomed me to their care center yesterday, thank you for welcoming us back. I'm so happy I made this decision.

Hazelnut and I are new to Companion Pet Care but we will never go anywhere else…read more This was an unprecedented level of care, compassion and kindness. Dr. Burghardt was thorough and engaging.

Thank you!!

My dog was only a patient here for a period of about 4 months. Everyone in the office was always…read morevery kind and Dr. Burghardt's exams were always very thorough. I never felt rushed which was appreciated and he had a very gentle demeanor about him. Unfortunately, our last visit didn't go well. I brought my dog in because his gums had started bleeding the night prior and there was blood in his stool. Dr. Burghardt diagnosed him with ITP, meaning he had low blood platelets, as was confirmed with blood testing that day. I was sent home with him that Friday afternoon with steroids. After reading more about the disease online, I called back later that day with follow up questions, but Dr. Burghardt had already stepped out for the weekend. We ended up taking our dog to the emergency vet later that evening and I'm so glad we did. Upon arrival, they said his platelet level was so low (essentially zero) that he was at risk for spontaneous bleeding - with potential to occur in his brain or lungs - and needed close monitoring and additional immune support. He ultimately died the next day after not responding quickly enough to the steroids and the identification of a tumor on his spleen (the likely culprit sending his immune system into a spiral). I'm mostly disappointed that we were sent home from Companion Pet Care on a Friday afternoon with little information, knowing that they were closed through the weekend. I don't think the severity of this condition was taken seriously enough or relayed to us in an appropriate manner. The office manager did call on Sunday to check in on him, at which time I shared that he had passed. I called back on Monday to see if they had received the ER records and to ask if Dr. Burghardt could call back at some point to summarize what had happened based on the medical records. At that point we were in shock and still confused since everything had happened so fast. We never got a call back or email which was really unfortunate. I would have thought he'd at least want to connect with us once since our dog was his patient and had died over the weekend. Ultimately, no one is to blame here but I don't feel like the situation was handled appropriately. I'm just so thankful we did our research and listened to our gut and brought him to the ER that evening so that he could be kept on fluids and oxygen support until it was his time to go. Apparently, ITP can develop and worsen VERY quickly. Keeping him at home would have been an awful experience and I'm sure the guilt we would have carried would have been unimaginable. More than anything, this is a warning to other pet owners that if you see those signs, please go to the ER immediately. This is not something you want to treat at home. Even if they seem fine in that moment, they could worsen within a matter or hours as our little guy did.

Coastal animal hospital was so great all around! They took us as a walk in emergency on a Monday…read moresoon before closing. Everyone from the front desk staff, to the nurses, to the doctors were amazing and so helpful! Even though they were closing and it was later in the evening, they took their time with us and helped us get a diagnosis.

Amazing experience all around, I am considering transferring my pet to have this be her primary care office. You can tell they care and are willing to help in times most needed!

We have been through…read moretraumatic losses and devastating conditions with some of our beloved pets and let me be honest- there is no better vet in all of this world than Dr. Clark. He is patient, gentle and skilled, and his love of animals is obvious. We have also seen other providers at Coastal Animal Hospital and recommend all of them highly and without reserve. They give you honest, evidence-based recommendations and don't beat around the bush. They don't ask you to do unnecessary tests or procedures. They treat illnesses quickly and empathetically and the support staff are so kind, loving and gentle with all the pets. Our dog loves going there to see the staff and gets excited to greet everyone (although I can't say the same for our cat, lol). Highly recommend this animal hospital if you want the best for your best friend

Here's a more balanced and effective way to express your frustration while removing accusatory…read morephrasing and keeping the tone respectful but firm: *** I'm very disappointed about my father's recent experience at the Drake Center. He's traveled the country and has never encountered a situation where caring for his elderly dog cost over $1,000 without being clearly informed beforehand. My concern is that the costs were not explained to him in advance, leaving him with an unexpectedly large bill that he could not reasonably afford. As an 80-year-old veteran, he trusted the staff to be transparent about pricing, and that trust was shaken. He also has early stage dementia, which makes it worse. While I'm sure the care provided to the pets is exceptional, I strongly believe clients deserve full visibility into expected costs before services are performed. Clear communication is essential, especially when serving elderly clients. My suggestion is to get a second opinion and find a place that is more affordable.

On my last visit I brought Sage in because her regular flea medication had stopped working and she needed a worm pill and an antibiotic since she got infected. The initial estimate was about $800 but I did not do the tests they wanted so I paid a little less. Fast forward to this morning when my Chewy Autoship informed me that "Your veterinary clinic, Santa Fe Animal Clinic - CA, has opted not to support online prescription approvals through Chewy". So on the day before Thanksgiving I now have one additional errand of running to their office, picking up the prescription and mailing it in. To make things worse, they are holding my cat Pepper Jack's flea prescription hostage because he is healthy and has not seen the vet recently. I feel like they are using the prescriptions as leverage to force people to make unnecessary appointments and that they know some people will just pay for the flea medication when they arrive at the clinic out of convenience. I will not support a business that resort to withholding medications for my pets to get more of my money. I declined to schedule an appointment and am picking a new vet that cares for my fur babies. I asked her how many customers they have lost due to this policy she replied "I am not taking a tally".

I appreciate that they are easy to reach/communicate with (can contact over phone/text), that the vets call you directly to review lab results, and they run the cost of each service with you beforehand so you can be prepared. I have never felt pressured by them or upsold for things he didn't need and really trust all of their recommendations/expertise. We recently had a dental procedure for Yoshi and they took such good care of him. They made sure I had an estimate ahead of time, updated me when he was going under anesthesia, and called me to review what options we had for the care he needed. I was updated with a quote on the phone immediately and we were able to proceed with no issues. They made sure to check in the following day to make sure Yoshi was doing well and had everything he needed. I appreciate the wonderful team at RSF vet hospital for their care and giving me more years with a healthy Yosh! I can't recommend them enough!
