We adopted our dog in february this year. The first worker we were in contact with Melissa, was…read moresuper nice and had great energy and was honest and willing to answer all of our questions. The day of adoption comes to take our baby home and the vibe was nasty. We were met with another worker we never met and her attitude came across as judgey, dismissive, and overall just wanted to get it over with. Our dog was spayed that weekend we got her, and no pain medicine was provided for her. FYI they take the dogs to get spayed in Mexico where it cost a nickel and two dimes, and then turn around and hit you with a fat fee of $600 for the adoption, spay, microchip, and other stuff. We asked questions about the dogs health and mentioned that the other worker told us she has mild dental issues (not a problem at all) we just wanted to get maybe more insight on that. No completely dismissive and straight up lied to our face about our dog having any dental problems and claiming she's completely fine. Come to find in the paper work they provide you, it says she has dental disease. Following that my partner has never owned a pet before so they were just asking basic questions about what to know. She had a rude attitude for every reply and the energy was very off putting for a first dog adoption expirence. Following taking our dog home we find out she's extremely reactive towards other dogs, (totally fine) we email TBL about her reactivity just to see if she had any issues with other dogs when she was at the shelter. No response. that clearly paints the picture that they don't care about you or your dog. They have a long lengthy contract to sign that will completely cover their ass but would screw you over if anything happens. Very shady, we are staying away for our second dog.

To surgically remove the supposed eggs, and also to spay her, we were quoted with $3800! We went to another hospital and it turned out Ember just had worms, so we dewormed her. The vet there got her to poop in literally 5 seconds. This hospital could not find any unlaid eggs. So no surgery required nor $4000 bill. Frightening.

Incredible experience from start to finish!…read more After offering to watch my coworkers lizard for the summer, I realized that I didn't know much about reptiles and was worried about her health as it was an older bearded dragon and seemed like it was breathing heavy. After looking at a few places, I decided to take her to Avian and Exotic Animal Hospital, as it was the closest to my place. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. I feel like they were able to get me an appointment quickly,, as they could tell how nervous I was regarding the situation. Dr. Jenkins did a thorough exam and was very helpful teaching me on the care of reptiles. It turns out he was able to clean her nostrils which were completely plugged and helped instantly with her breathing. they took blood work and she was was also prescribed antibiotics. The nurse was kind enough to show me how to inject them and took the time to see if I had any questions. I was expecting the bill to be anywhere from $500 to $1000+, being that it was an exotic animal, but I was shocked and pleasantly surprised that it was less than that! So grateful for all the staff here!

Bearded dragon- I…read moretook him here twice- once because he was bitten by a black widow (so scary since this was in my classroom) and his tale was amputated. Most went well with that. Second time- years later-all of a sudden he was not eating, pooping, lethargic. I took him in and was shamed that I was using a UVA light and and not UVB. I was told maybe this is too much for me, etc. now mind you, I have 4 dogs, many class pets, and two children, and 34 students. Minding other beings is not outside my wheel house, and I left hurt and bewildered. I honestly thought he needed to be put down and I was emotionally ready for that, but sent home with the shame bell so to speak. We changed the light, were told in 4-6 weeks all would be well. He only deteriorated and so we took him to our regular vet, and that vet said he had heart trouble, and at this point it was definitely the right thing to put him down. No shame, just support. I honestly am so disappointed with the misdiagnosis and the shame. We will not be bringing our other pets here.

We had such an amazing experience at Free Flight for my partner's birthday! We were able to…read moreinteract with the birds, feed them, take pictures with them, and simply enjoy their presence and cheerful chirping. There were many different varieties of birds, and each one added to the experience. My partner and kids had a wonderful time, and we especially loved the beautiful koi pond as well. It was a peaceful, fun, and unique outing for the whole family. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys birds and wants a more interactive experience with them. One thing to keep in mind is that visitors are not allowed to hold or pet the birds. However, you can feed them, and if they choose to land on your arm, that's perfectly okay. One of the birds even hopped onto my son's arm, which was a highlight of the visit! Overall, a fantastic experience that we would happily do again.

Located in Del Mar near the festival, if your eyes are peeled open, it can be quite easy to miss. There's a few parking spots available. I came at 10am to see if I can register and walk in right away. They told me to come back at 11am. So I went across the street for a drink and then returned. It was a neat experience. You walk in and use hand sanitizers and get the instructions. If you're not a member you can handle the birds directly. You get a bowl of food and later can circle back to feed the fish. Some birds are outside their cages which is fun and you get some nice photos with them. The ones who ate from my bowl seemed to only really want the apples. The bowls had a mixtures of fruits and vegetables. The ones in the cages they tell you not to take out. Why? Don't know. Flight risk? For 15 bucks a person, it was a nice way to spend a hour and hear why some birds are the way they are (you'll have to ask the workers there why and they'll gladly share stories otherwise it's mostly a independent stroll through the sanctuary). Memberships are available if interested.
