Kensington Veterinary Hospital

"Exemplary care..concern...responsiveness.... Being new to the San Diego area I did not expect locating a reliable Veterinary clinic as difficult as it has been. Before finding Kensington, I had my dog to two other clinics for both routine and urgent care. Fees charged by both, for poor care and lack of concern for my pet, far exceeded Kensington's. In addition, I received calls from the Kensington Vet following visits, which were not routine, to check on my pet. I in turn made calls to the clinic which were answered in a timely manner, if not immediately."

"I have to update my review because when things actually went rough with one of our pets, we were really unhappy with our experience. We had been bringing all our animals here for 2 years for routine checkups and were happy with it but that has changed. One of our cats got really sick and we were constantly gaslit by the vet that she seemed fine even though we kept telling them she's not, we spent so much money running random tests and being told it was definitely polyps when it actually turned out to be cancer confirmed by a different vet. We were really given the runaround. Multiple visits to Kensington vet for incorrect diagnoses and theories upon theories when we said we don't have unlimited finances for these tests. My last communication with them was when someone from their office sent me an email asking if my DOG was okay and when I responded asking if they meant the cat that's been sick for a month and they've seen 4 times, I got no response. They've lost my trust and I have taken my fur babies elsewhere."

"I highly recommend Kensington Veterinary Hospital for your pets care. Since my chocolate lab (Jake) was a puppy (2009) and for his entire life, the incredibly caring and competent veterinarians and staff at Kensington Vet have been overseeing his health and well being and did a truly wonderful job. He made it to 15 years old and with the good guidance of Kensington Vet, was a happy and healthy pup for all of those years. Throughout his time there, he saw most every doctor at Kensington Vet including Dr. Gossard, Dr. Seitz, Dr. Unger, Dr. Valdez and Dr. Mason. They were all so kind, gave him lots of love and the best care you could ask for (even if that meant recommending that we see a specialist elsewhere). For his last 5 years or so, he mostly saw Dr. Gossard as she also does the acupuncture treatments (which really helped with his arthritis). Her incredible kindness and caring bedside manner felt like Jake was as much her dog as he was ours. You can’t ask for more than that from your vet. I also really appreciated the fact that over his lifetime they didn’t oversell or overprescribe for his care. They would always layout options and give us recommendations (mostly from a holistic perspective), which I really appreciated as other vets often overprescribe. Thankfully, Jake was rarely medicated until his last year or so when he needed it to manage pain. Dr. Gossard and her entire staff are one of the big reasons why my pup lived a happy and healthy life to the ripe old age of 15 and I’m so grateful to them for that. I recommend Kensington Vet with my highest praise and when I’m ready for my next dog, they will definitely be my veterinarian of choice."

"Great place to bring your Pets. Docter is great and staff is amazing. Clean office too. Very compassionate. We found our new Vet for sure. Thanks for helping Milo get better!"

"Dr. Sise, Geena, Lynet and Paula and Destiny we're fantastic. Scooby couldn't have been in better hands. I was surprised that My Scooby cat responded so well to them and their caring attention. Very personable and informative pet care."
