    Here are pictures of the dangerous weed, foxtail, that can get stuck inside our doggies. Beware.
    Kimi P.

    *FOXTAIL SEASON IS UPON US* Please watch out for these pesky weeds, they can kill our dogs! I had an emergency where my poor Bo Bo ate a whole bundle of foxtails After calling my primary vet and having no availability, I had to call around. I was immediately accepted into Montecito Pet Hospital. Loved the $75 discount for first time patients. She worked with me on next steps and how to best address the situation. It was a great first visit, Bo will be going back for a follow up visit.

    My little puggy!

    The Montecito Pet Hospital is our go to for our pets check up, shots prescriptions etc. Dr. Pearl & Dr. MacVeigh are both awesome and we feel that we can see either one when we need to bring our pet in. The staff is usually very helpful and friendly.

    We have had 2 different pet and 2 different veterinarians serve us at Montecito Pet Hospital. Dr. Wiekart and Dr. MacVeigh. I have been to other vets and always come back here. They have been excellent at getting us in, answering calls, sending records, thorough in examination and great with follow up. I like how they examine your dog in front of you and explain each finding. They discuss pricing and treatment options and do not judge if you need to pick a more affordable option or make a plan that defers care for a later time when too costly. We have had an end of life experience with our dog Kirby that was empathetic and compassionate. The keepsake paw and cremation services were important to us and we felt guided and supported through that sad time. Now we have 2 young children and Dr MacVeigh is their favorite! She has great people, pet, and personal skills and I have the utmost confidence and appreciation for her. I have to also recognize the vet techs and front office staff... they are all so kind and very accommodating. I will continue to take my pets and recommend that you do too!

    See all

Maybe they are going through a difficult time, like I think a recent retired doctor, but it's just been a recent change in overall attentiveness and level of care. There isn't consistently a place for the pets to wait for there turn in a quiet space. Families aren't all given the chance to stay in the room with their pets. It is considered a special request. Our cat ended up having to wait in the car to avoid the sounds and smells of the dogs. He dislikes dogs, so this already makes it a little challenging and stresses him out. We voiced other concerns with them directly, so I don't think it's necessary to include everything here, but just wanted to leave a review as feedback so hopefully they take it to heart to improve. We are sad to leave this practice. They were so friendly and caring until the end of our time having our cat as a patient. I am not leaving a bad rating, just 3 stars because the vets are actually really skilled. But the admin staff and support from the techs hasn't felt up to par recently. Hopefully things get back on track.

Tip: arrive right before they open at noon. We waited about five minutes and were seen immediately. The initial exam fee was around $140. The facility is incredibly clean and modern, and every staff member we interacted with was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind. They took their time answering all of my questions and clearly explained my options without any pressure- outlining both the minimum recommended testing and additional tests purely for reassurance. Lab work revealed mild pancreatitis. Bentley received fluids and anti-nausea medication, and we went home with antibiotics, digestive support, and prescription food to support his recovery. I left feeling confident that he was truly cared for from every angle. While the visit was more expensive than I initially expected, it was absolutely worth it. I walked out with answers, clarity, and peace of mind- and I would not hesitate to bring Bentley back here again.

Without running any tests the vet came back and said it might be cancer. I acknowledged that may be the case but thought it was alarmist and premature to say that. The technician came back after cleaning the ear up to say they at this point they do agree it's a wound with possible infection, not cancer. Although they wanted to meet with me to go over the treatment and meds before I left, they forgot to put an antibiotic medicine dispenser in my bag, and three separate times I had to remind them to go back and give my (feral) cat his first dose of antibiotics, and flea meds, and remind them again to check for worms. They also forgot to give me topical antiseptic pads so I can clean the wound. I think they are training young interns who have no idea what they are doing.
