I have been here with my dogs for the routine stuff and the sad stuff. Always very appreciative of the professionalism and compassion. Today my dog had an injury and she was quickly put into a private room, seen by a tech then the doctor. They were so sweet to my pooch who left with her leg bandaged and cared for. I definitely recommend them. read more

Today was my fifth visit and I brought both of my miscreants who at first weren't so happy to be there. In any event, the vet techs are ALL beyond friendly and helpful. You can tell that while this might be their job, they love all the lil fur babies that enter. Have always had excellent care and will continue to put my kids into their care!!! read more

Front desk , vet tech staff are so very helpful. Tiffany , Keri and Jack got me situated immediately and easily handled my scaredy cat who was soooo sick. Dr King was clear about the medical issues we faced but confident that she could help. Went from worst case scenario to our sweet boy well on his way to healthy. Thank you thank you ! read more

I am deeply disappointed and frustrated with the care my dog received at Fallbrook Animal Hospital. I brought my dog in specifically for a severe ear infection, which can be life-threatening if left untreated. Despite spending over $500 last week for a culture and what was supposed to be a thorough examination of his ear, the vet failed to properly examine the ear drum or provide an accurate diagnosis. This week, after the culture results came back, I was told my dog needs a topical antibiotic ointment for his ear infection. However, they admitted they don't know if his ear drum is ruptured because they never performed the proper exam last week--the very reason I brought him in. Now, they want me to pay an additional $55 for an exam they should have done initially. When I expressed that this was unacceptable, Tiffany, the manager, dismissively told me I could find another vet because I'm "not a good fit." This is complete medical and animal negligence. My dog remains in excruciating pain with no effective treatment, and the clinic is refusing to complete the necessary examination or provide care. This level of neglect is unacceptable and dangerous. Ear infections caused by rod-shaped bacteria (RODS) can be fatal without proper treatment. As a pet owner in California, I know I have the right to competent veterinary care, clear communication about my pet's condition and treatment, and the ability to seek a second opinion if I believe the care is inadequate. I also have the right to file a complaint with the California Veterinary Medical Board if I suspect negligence or malpractice. I urge the owner of Fallbrook Animal Hospital to take this seriously. Denying care and dismissing concerned pet owners not only harms animals but also exposes the clinic to legal consequences. I hope this review encourages others to carefully consider their options before trusting their pets to this hospital. I will be taking action. read more

Just had my second appt with my pup. Super office staff and veterinarian. They were professional, patient with my pup, and realistic. I was able to get my dog seen on the same day I called to make an appointment. read more

This place is amazing! All the workers there are welcoming, friendly, and very helpful. Will always recommend :)

The staff here is AMAZING ! Not only do they answer the phone always , they treat you as if you're family and work with such efficiency . Highly recommended bringing your fur babies here read more

Stay away from this practice. We have been going to Fallbrook Animal Hospital for almost 3 years ever since we moved to Fallbrook. It used to very good but all good doctors and staff left this place. The new staff is very rude and will order all kinds of tests and X-rays that is unnecessary. We have been feeling the decline in service ever since the staff changed but today's experience was horrible. We have a 15 year old blind and deaf dog in his last stages. He has some food allergy and today when he woke up one of his eyes were swollen and red. We ran out of the eye drops and made an appointment to have him checked. We got there around 9:15 and no other customers was there. The place was empty other than the staff. They immediately put us in the room and one tech came to check his vitals and he was nice. He is one of the old staff. After that we were in the room with a dog who just want to get out of that place for over 45 minutes before the doctor came. She said she is the sub for the day. She looked at his eyes and said we need to do eye pressure test to make sure how bad is his dry eye problem and left. Later another lady came in with about $800 worth of lab tests, x-rays and other charges. We asked if the doctor checked his previous records and the response was they had to do all these tests to prescribe the medication. I told her that we wanted to get the same drops that were prescribed before and they said they don't have any records about his eye issue. When I told her that if it is a dry eye problem then it should be there always. She got upset told us to take your dog somewhere else and left the room slamming the door. When I asked the front desk lady to give us our dogs records and she asked us to sign some papers saying that they offered service and we denied service. When we told them that we are not signing any papers she said that they will call the animal control that the dog is suffering and you are not giving him treatment. When we told them that we do not want unnecessary tests and X-rays for a 15 year old dog and wanted to make him comfortable. We told them that since many of the customers left they are trying to maximize from us. Immediately they told us to get out of the property and told us we are trespassing their property. Stay away from this business. Since I complained these people called animal control on me with some lies that they saw fleas jumping on my dog and his teeth is bad. I don't know what kind of a doctor they got, she said the dry skin on my dog is flea poop and want to clean the teeth of a 15 year old dog and put him under anesthesia. read more

I love coming here the are always so nice and they really love the animals that they help!

* Do not take your pet there anymore. I have been taking our dog to Fallbrook Animal Hospital for several years. Recently they have new doctors and support staff. Today I took our dog for eye infection issue. T hey wanted x-Ray taken and whole bunch of unnecessary and unwanted test to be done. When I questioned the need for these additional test the young lady slammed the examination room and left. I came to front desk to complain and the front office asked me leave saying I am trespass passing. So I left. What a rude and unprofessional office and Hospital. They are trying to bill you for unnecessary test and medication. One estimate she showed me was for $100 for medication wthout mentioning what it is for. Please find another facility to take care of your loved ones. read more

We switched to Dr. Laughbach because our normal vet office lied about surgery. We lost faith in them and looked for someone that was a very honest surgeon. We found it here. Our dog was done and is healing so great so fast. The swelling was very minimal and was off pain meds fairly soon. We are super appreciative of his experience and that of the staff as well. Denise was handling multiple things and once like an expert. We are very grateful that took a leap of faith based off our gut feeling about this Doctor. Our dog is our child and we trust the clinic 1000%. read more

Don't take your pet here unless you want to get conned out of money. The "tech" Ashley hit us with a surprise line item for a "physical exam" that wasn't on the 500 dollar quote for a teeth cleaning and when we asked her about it, she immediately met us with an attitude and had the nice front desk lady call the cops on us when I didn't back down. Place is a joke. Staff is all nice except for that cancer of a lady. read more

When taking our 20 year old Chihuahua in for euthanasia, we chose the only vet with a quick opening due to her suffering. The LAST worry my husband I needed needed was an inconsiderate staff member up close in everyone's space not wearing a mask and joking about the fact with other patrons. There were no words of comfort or kindness from staff reg our dog, not a word, I'm a big girl, but that seemed odd. Unprofessional is what it was......it was an uncomfortable last goodbye with our beloved dog. I will say, when we finally met the vet she seemed kind and compassionate, perhaps she could chose staff with a similar manor. read more

Dr King is an awesome veterinarian. Very caring staff. They keep the costs reasonable while delivering quality care.

5 stars for the two receptionists up front. They dedicate their time and hard work everyday. I've seen countless rude customers in the lobby that Liisa and Makayla handle extremely well. Their consistency and kind words make it so I keep coming back. These two women are awesome! read more

They were my go-to Vet for the last five years...until COVID. The receptionist refuses to wear a mask, even though the techs. do, and this small office is TOO dangerous now. I thought it was an oversight the first time, but now it's apparently a "statement". Message received. read more

Doctors are very skilled, caring and very professional. Denise, the receptionist is truly a gem. No nonsense, very businesslike but still does care a lot. Takes care of people and their animals very efficiently. Took our dog elsewhere for ($400) and were told that she needed to see an orthopedic surgeon for her broken rear leg and that it would cost over 4,000 dollars. A week later, When we brought her to Dr. Laubach, (for 200) he took x-rays, prescribed medication, and told us that it was already healing on its own and there was no need for surgery, cast or anything except to keep her quiet and let it continue to heal on its own. Will recommend them to everyone as a sensible, excellent, caring , intelligent, great place to take a pet. read more

Fallbrook Animal Hospital has been in a bit of transition and things are working out well. The entire staff is kind, professional, and very responsive. New staff members may still be learning, but everyone is willing to help. It's great to be able to get in to see someone the same day. read more

I can't say enough good things about the staff at Fallbrook Animal Hospial. They all made our experience a good one. They were all so compassionate and very understanding when we had to say goodbye to our 18 year old little dog. When we welcomed a new dog into our home from AFOV (another wonderful place) we brought her here for her first exam and vaccinations. So a few days later we had to take her in for foxtails in her ear which required her to be put under for the delicate removal of the foxtails. Again my husband and I were very impressed with personal service we received. And for all of this wonderfulness, the cost was very reasonable! They are worth every one of the five stars that I gave and highly recommend Fallbrook Animal Hospial. read more

While traveling in our RV, our beloved dog Gracie became acutely ill and needed urgent veterinary attention. After calling several vet clinics who wouldn't see her for several days, the staff at Fallbrook Animal Hospital graciously accepted us, advising us to come in immediately. There were no hidden fees or upcharges for being a walk-in-- sadly, I have seen that elsewhere. Despite having a totally full lobby, the clinic ran swiftly and smoothly and we were in, treated, and discharged in an hour. Denise, Sterling, Ubie, and Dr. King all took great care of us and I could really sense the cohesiveness of their team. Despite being a walk-in from out of town and having a completely full schedule, they maintained their professionalism and were accommodating, thorough, and kind. Thank you for taking great care of Gracie and getting us back on the road! read more

Nicole and Denise were horribly rude to me over the years. I stayed because of Dr Pyne who was a close friend of my husband and myself. . No more tears... I love Avocado Animal Hospital. read more

With multiple pets at home, I've had many opportunities over the years to visit several of our local veterinary hospitals. Fallbrook Animal Hospital is my favorite. Dr. Laubach is an excellent surgeon whose skills saved my cat after he had been misdiagnosed and treated unsuccessfully by a different vet. Dr. King is very knowledgeable and obviously cares about the animals and pet owners she works with. She's the kind of person you can ask questions of and expect a good answer. Denise, who is in charge of the front office, is well organized. She has a wonderful sense of humor, as well as a remarkable ability to maintain her cool and offer good advice even when confronted by the occasional emotional and irrational pet parent. I am so tired of our growing cancel culture, in which businesses like this one are publicly demoralized with unearned 1 star reviews. Look at the reviews complaining about someone not wearing a mask. One such reviewer (1 star) was very pleased with her pet's treatment by Dr. King, but couldn't find her way to the 3 or 4 stars. Really?!! And then there's the one star pet owner who awarded that single star because Dr. Laubach wasn't available for a personal consultation. Was he preparing for another surgery? Did you have unanswered questions? What were the results of your pet's surgery? Isn't that more important? I'm disappointed to see that the business rating system many people use has become so unreliable. I'll pay more attention to the ratings when I shop in town, and perhaps I can diminish the effects of the irrational reviews with one of my own. read more

Won't be taking my cat back. My cat has never been so withdrawn and hid this bad after a vet appt. She has been tucked away in a corner since she has been back. Hasn't ate or drank water. She had her pee all over her when I picked her up and it was all over her carrier. All this just to see if she has a UTI. I'll be sticking to my old Vet an hour away where I know pets do not come back traumatized. read more

We took our two dogs here for dental surgeries/cleaning and they did a wonderful job for an extremely fair price. Dogs came through with no problems and have great breath again. Responsive staff - answered our questions quickly and thoroughly. read more

Have been dealing with them for awhile and Denise and staff have always handled all my concerns and taken great care and concern for my dog. Wouldn't go anywhere else read more

We love this veterinarian office. Denise is the receptionist and she is super funny and nice. You can tell she has a real heart for the animals and she really cares about the people as well. She's a great face for this business and she deserves a raise! Gary was our doctor and he also helped us out tremendously with getting us set up with the right medication for our dog he was incontinence. The medication that was prescribed to our dog is actually very affordable as well it only cost $22 for 3 month supply. It works like a charm! Thank you Fallbrook Animal Hospital! We will definitely be back end if you're considering using this vet I would definitely give them a shot! Bonus tip: They also offer a military discount! Bonus tip: There are way more reasonably price than most veterinarians! read more

To be fair I need to write a follow up. As it turns out the Parkway Pet clinic in Escondido was the place that gave me an all-clear for my dog which was a misdiagnosis. The dog still did have a mass in his abdomen contrary to what Parkway told me, so, in essence, this doctor at Fallbrook may have been correct. We never did a cancer screening because the tumor was inoperable due to another reputable vet in Fallbrook. Still, the woman at the front desk is a holy terror. There are much better vets to visit in the Fallbrook area. read more

I will forever have a place in my heart with fallbrook animal hospital. I had the pleasure of being a client for over 3 years, they took such great care of my old man. They helped us all the way till the end with him and even after continued to send holiday cards. I will always be grateful for all the help and kindness I was given every time I called. read more

The best ever!!! I was recommended to Fallbrook by a friend who was a long time client of theirs. Even though it is a bit out of the way I decided my dog needed the best care. I took her in to have a dental check. They determined she needed 16 teeth pulled! This was my second opinion. The first vet said ALL teeth needed to come out. The cost was extremely reasonable and the service was exceptional! I highly recommend Fallbrook Animal Hospital to everyone who loves their fur baby and wants the best care for them!! read more

All these folks are terrific. They have taken care of our dogs for years and we are very pleased. They have a great feeling for the animals and care more about the "Critters" than the money. So compassionate and caring when we had to have our "Girl" dog euthanized. She had had many a "Spa Day" for bath and nails done with them. Our new guy "Willie" is happy with his care also. read more

Dr. Ann King has provided our pets with knowledgeable and discerning care for the past few years. She is personable and engaging, compassionate and smart. I trust her with our pets whom we LOVE! Her vet techs and staff are also friendly and engaging and add humor to your visit which lightens the mood when the office is busy. I'm very grateful for this vet clinic and the people who run it. read more

Great availability and amazing staff! We took our dog Oliver for the first time for a check up and vaccinations. We decided we'll be coming back for all his health needs! Everyone from front desk, nurses, and doctor were friendly and helpful. Our dog can be a handful and doesn't always have the best manners when it comes to visiting the Vet, and they handled him with care and confidence. We're happy we found them! read more

Dr. Gary Laubach and his staff are fabulous! We bring all our pets here and would not go anywhere else in town. Dr. Gary's surgical skill is the best. He is knowledgeable and straightforward about any problems and the treatment options. His staff knows our whole family by name and remembers our pets. Excellent quality care! read more

We have been taking our four legged babies here for many, many years and have been very happy with their care.

After yesterdays ordeal with the rude lady at the front desk and also cutting my cat"s nails, who they knows needs to be sedated for even a bath, without my permission and also yelling at me to never bring my cat back to their hospital, I am finding a new vet most likely out of Fallbook to see my 2 dogs and 2 cats read more
