Whether it's a little bout of diarrhea or an upset stomach or what foods are best to try 1st for our newly adopted 12 year old senior pooch. They have shot clinics which is much easier to get into vs vets and a little cheaper too. Teeth scaling vet clinics so your pet doesn't have to be put under each year to have their teeth cleaned. But they also can give antibiotics if needed and have found physical things going on with our pet that our own vets didn't pick up on even after seening our dog just days prior to the teeth clinic (like an infection that needed treatment asap)!!!

I took my dog in for a yeast infection in her ear. She had this a year ago and the vet cleaned it out really well and put some medicine in and sent us on our way. It was quick and efficient and super reasonable. Today we came in for the same issue s year later and they told me the vet that day doesn't examine the animals in the room with you. Ok. They took her back. After AN HOUR my son had to go to the bathroom. We were lead down a dark dingy hallway to a bathroom and we saw our dog in the back. When we were walking back my son tried to pet a dog that appeared to be owned by an employee (sitting in front of a desk) and the dog tried to bite him and aggressively started barking. After an hour and half I said we needed to leave. The doctor tried to get me to agree to 4 different oral meds in addition to drops. It felt like she was trying to scare or shame me into doing all of this treatment and her explanations for what was going on and what could have caused it were insulting to anyone with intelligence. Since the ownership has changed I was looking forward to a new vet. The last two times I have gone (in the last 3 months) the tone has changed drastically and both times I came in for something pretty minor but felt very pressured to agree to thousands of dollars of tests and treatments that were not necessary. Some people do like to get all the things possible but those people take their dogs to nice vet offices where they expect to pay a lot- not dingy old offices that haven't been updated in 30 years- maybe they're trying to raise funds for a remodel now! I will mention we tend to be on the conservative side for treatment options (with our dogs and humans!) We would like to start less aggressive and then increase as needed. We will now have to find a vet that fits in with that philosophy

I, like many others have been coming here for awhile, since back in 2020. In the last year or so…read moreive felt like the care has declined. I genuinely dont think in 5-6 years i ever saw the same vet twice, if i did it was very rare. Some people note the front desk person is rude, i think she is just fine, shes always been nice to me. The last visit was likely the last time i will visit here unless there is an extreme need. While doing a nail trim, my dog who is like 28 lbs was medicated based on their instruction, still was fighting them, and his nail broke off. They had the audacity to present me somewhere around a 200+/- dollar bill for a procedure they suggested to repair the situation. As you can imagine, i was not having that. I refused to pay it, and had to argue with the male Vet who tried to tell me something that happened out of my sight, that wasnt present before arriving, an issue that they created was my responsibility. I had to inform him the dog has had to be sedated before, and that should have been discussed with me once they realized he wasnt going to cooperate. I handed him back the paper and advised he needs to come up with another solution cause the procedure will get done but i wont be paying. Eventually they ate the cost after an argument that shouldnt have even been necessary. I didnt mind the outdated environment or the folding chairs because the price point matched it. But with declining care, and being told during this visit they were under new ownership/management if this is that management its nothing i want to be part of. All that said, try them for yourself, make your own decision, i never felt they gave "Bad" care to my pets but the last incident just lets me know its time to move on.

And, based on our great experience with her, we felt compelled to write our own glowing review of Colean. Briefly, our little guy is a new addition to our family and we were seeking a trustworthy, dependable, knowledgeable and kind dogsitter to occasionally watch him. We have never gone outside our family to have someone watch one of our pets. So, we were unsure whether Colean, or anybody (!), could provide the trust and care that we get with other family members. Very quickly, Colean earned our trust. She initially had us visit her house with our dog to see whether he had the right temperament to fit into her pet community. Luckily, our little guy did very well. And, ultimately, we entrusted Colean to watch him overnight on a recent trip. We received continual updates via text throughout the evening and the next morning until we picked him up. We feel fortunate to have someone of Colean's skill, passion and commitment to rely upon.

This was our second time using the Escondido location, and it confirmed that this facility is not…read moreequipped or operated to responsibly manage large or anxious dogs, despite advertising itself as a professional daycare. During our first experience in May 2024 (boarding), our dog, Chika, was labeled anxious and given a "first strike" for snapping at other dogs. We had never received this sort of feedback before and were concerned. She was placed in private care for the remainder of that stay, and no further issues occurred. Between May 2024 and December 2025, Chika attended numerous daycare facilities in social play without incident. We gave the Escondido location another opportunity on December 20, 2025. Within three hours, we received a voicemail from Daniel (manager) stating that Chika was digging at and jumping on the walls and that the Escondido facility's walls are not as sturdy as those at the Miramar location. We were also told that she would NOT be welcome back at Escondido after that day. We do not dispute Chika's behavior, but the problem was the lack of management. We are paying customers and expect staff to actively handle the situation, not simply report it and escalate to removal or ban. There was no indication that reasonable steps were taken (removal from the area, breaks, walks, or calming measures) before contacting us. Notifying the customer is appropriate and appreciated; failing to attempt resolution is not. Chika was eventually placed in a cage for the remainder of the day, which was acceptable. However, communication did not indicate that efforts were made to reduce her stress or ensure her comfort. We paid $60 per dog (two dogs; our other dog's behavior was deemed acceptable) and expected professional supervision and care. There are serious safety and operational concerns. The facility has thin, easily damaged walls, is understaffed (per the manager and owner), and staff are not consistently present in dog areas. Dogs are sometimes monitored via cameras rather than in-person supervision, according to Daniel (manager). This location also maintains a low number of dogs, which aligns with how quickly dogs are removed or banned instead of being managed. According to the daycare, Chika may react this way because calmer areas stress her and busier areas keep her mind occupied--interpret that as you will. Interactions with Daniel (manager) and Brian (owner) were unacceptable. Brian called us on December 21st, which we initially appreciated as a chance to discuss the situation. However, the conversation quickly became hostile and dismissive, with Brian stating they "could bill you for the damage, but aren't," telling me to "take some introspection," and calling me "rude" and "ridiculous for asking for a refund." He also said, "open your own daycare and manage it how you want." All phone calls with management are recorded, so there is a record of these interactions. No accommodation was offered. Had a partial refund been provided, this review would not exist! The only professional interaction was with Whitney at the front desk. We love the Miramar location, and it's disappointing that our experience at Escondido came to this. Owners of large or anxious dogs should proceed with caution. This location does not actively manage stressed dogs or work toward resolution.
