Santa Barbara Animal Hospital

"If you really love your pets, don’t take them here! Dr. Alexander, who is the owner of this place, is very incompetent. Last week, I took my dog with a critical bloated stomach, after taking 2 Xrays, she couldn’t tell the difference between being pregnant or something else. She charged an unnecessary and outrageous $307 pregnancy test. The next day, we went to a different vet and my dachshund ended with a surgical emergency due to Pyometra (a serious and potentially life-threatening infection of the uterus). Two days after the fact, they called me for a negative pregnancy result. I’m not a vet but I can assure with a 100% certainty that those 2 Xrays showed no sign of pregnancy at all."

"Disappointed is an understatement, if you want your dogs to be happy and healthy do not bring them here. The woman in charge is also very rude especially when trying to talk about the situation that occurred"

"They were very caring with our 13 year old rescue dog at the end of her life. I appreciate their efforts."

"I had a good experience at this place. The people are kind and friendly with the dogs. I was there with my three dogs for an exam and their vaccinations. They also did a blood testing for my dogs and the service and handling was good. Thank you ❤️"

"Dr. Alexander and her staff are wonderful! They took such great care of my little Rocco. He had surgery and then stitches removed and they treated him like he was their fur-baby. We are so grateful to them!"
