South San Diego Veterinary Hospital

"The most amazing, caring doctors I have ever had the opportunity to meet!"

"We had been struggling with dog allergies for a few years now and SSD Vet Hospital has helped immensely. I was skeptical about trying a new vet at first but even at 6 months later the progress was clear. Now, 1 year later my dog is healthier and happier than ever. In 2021, my then 6-year-old lab mix started excessively licking her paws to the point of hair loss, bleeding, and skin infections. I was spending so much money on apoquel, antibiotics, tests, check ups, and other stuff that was messing with her stomach. I could not leave her alone or she'd start licking on the couch or bed leaving lick spots everywhere. We thought it was environmental allergy as it all started as soon as we moved to new apartments with lots of greenery. Other vets didn't care too much about the source and wanted to mask the symptoms. We even tried apoquel and citopoint injections together to reduce itchiness but nothing worked until we went to South SD Vet Hospital and considered a homeopathic approach. They're all so nice and always answer my questions. They have saved me thousands of dollars in unecessary medication and can clearly tell my dog is much happier and excited for the meals I make her. Sometimes it's hard to get appointments."

"No one is ever in this office. I wondered why they never have clients coming in. I never have a wait. But one day I took my dog in for an exam, the room I was waiting in was right next to their intake room, and I heard one of the girls yelling, at the top of her lungs, screaming at my dog to shut the F up. My dog is extremely sweet, but is scared in the office and cries a little bit. I couldn’t even believe it! How can a vet allow their staff to talk to the animals that way? And then, when I got called in to look at a spot on my dogs stomach. The reason why I brought her in. The old vet thought the cancerous lesion was one of her nipples. I actually had to point out to the doctor to tell her where to look. She didn’t even know the difference between my dogs nipple and skin cancer. I’ll never go back in there again."

"We had our boy Bruno neutered here and the vets and staff were very helpful and professional. Not to mention economical, Bruno was good to go within a few days. Highly recommended vet office!"

"My Lucy had torn a toenail almost completely off and because it was bleeding it concerned me that it could get infected. They took her in and took care of her. I didn’t have to wait hours to find out what needed to be done as with other emergency veterinary hospitals. It was evening just before dark. An hour later she was ready to go home with me. I love the sweet sincerity of the Doctor and the staff"
