What Clients are Saying
Awesome staff. My dog was treated with respect.She had enucleation surgery and my baby was taken care off. Thank you for giving me comfort knowing she was in good hands. ❤️
Two friends who don’t know each other, happened to recommend this same place to us!! Our 7 month yorkie got neutered here right before Xmas. Couldn’t be more satisfied with their staff and service!
Took my older dog in for dental work. They did an excellent job. Everything was explained to me ahead of time. They were kind at drop off and pick up. It also saved me lots of money over our regular vet. I highly recommend.
This was by far my best experience with a veterinary office ever! They explained everything in detail and took excellent care of Zeke. They were able to extract 11 of his teeth. He's 14 years old and healing so quickly. He already has more energy than before the surgery and that's with pain relievers. Anicira has allowed us to add quality years to Zeke's life. Highly recommend.
Everyone there was kind, friendly and very caring. Your whole staff is great! Very sincere and caring and positive and upbeat, they treated all our pets like it was their own pets. A really great team! Thank you
Wonderful staff, upfront pricing, relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. Made us feel at ease about the entire process. 10/10!
Worth the drive from LA to San Diego I was able to get my cat eyelid surgery(entropion) which would of cost me 3,500 dollars if gone somewhere else. It was only 600 dollars meds and cone included! Here is my cat Blanco before and after surgery!
I absolutely LOVE this clinic and recommend them to all of my dog training clients, rescue friends, and neighbors! So grateful for the affordable services and quality care that you provide for our community. From the coordination and scheduling, to intake, and the final pickup… I am beyond impressed with your wonderful team! Thank you for taking fantastic care of my sweet Nyxie. Her stitches are clean, she's in great spirits, and I'm looking forward to her running and playing after she's all healed from her spay. Again, thank you for the friendly, professional, and compassionate care you provide to the animals here in San Diego!

FAQ
Cherry eye is a term associated with the prolapse of the third eyelid gland. This condition is often associated with specific breeds, such as brachycephalic dogs like Pugs, Boston Terriers, and Bulldogs.
When the third eyelid prolapses it appears like a mass in the lower part of the eye. Surgical repair is the primary treatment as if left untreated, dry eye can occur, causing vision damage.
