I understand there our some people who say well your dog had a good life but even if I only get a few more years I will do what I can for him.

The staff Shirley,Amber,Paula There were others but these our the ones who I got to know since the process with my dog took awhile for recovery and there were many visits to the office and updates because they truly care on how my dog was doing.I would even get texts from them even to this day they still check in on him WHO ELSE DOES THIS ??

“We really liked this vet and wished we had discovered them earlier. The vet was straight-forward and wanted to avoid doing unnecessary procedures as many vets and doctors tend to do these days.”

“We moved to this area about 5 years ago and started going to Carlsbad veterinary fo our dogs care.We were extremely particular having been accustomed to seeing the same veterinarian for over 35 years,who happened to be my husbands best friend and an amazing Vet.We liked Carlsbad veterinary.When we met Dr. Runyon and saw the compassionate way she treated our 19 year old little Jack Russel we were so grateful that when we recently got our puppy we knew that was the only veterinarian we would be seeing.I highly recommend her and the staff at Carlsbad.Joi Williams”

“Couldn’t recommend Dr Brigden more! Took really good care of my little Oliver and didn’t use up the max amount I was quoted for even though more teeth had to be extracted than originally planned which tells me he is honest and doesn’t try to over charge. My little guy is healing well.”

“Beyond impressed with Dr. McClure and so grateful we found Sandy Paws Animal Clinic. We recently moved and needed to find a new local vet to treat our 12-year-old papillon who suffers from congestive heart failure. Dr. McClure immediately treated me and my dog as if we were longtime valued patients of hers. She gave my dog so much love and concern and jumped into action to find us solutions to get him some immediate relief for his health issues as well as put together a long-term plan for him. I cannot thank Dr. McClure enough for treating us with such care.”

“There just are no words I can say to express my gratitude to and for Dr George. We discovered him back in 2019 when we decided to get hip replacement for our, at the time, 8 1/2 year old German Shepherd. He did such an excellent job that we got her other hip replaced as well, a couple of years later. Last year we went back to him and he removed two tumors that she had developed in her hind quarter. Last week we saw our Bailey was having a very hard time pooping. We took her to a local vet here in Los Angeles and they told us that she had a mass just outside of her colon and that we needed to find an oncologist. No oncologist here in Los Angeles could see her until the end of January. We called Mohnacky in Carlsbad and they got Bailey in that Tuesday. Dr George went over the X-rays with us and showed us that she had a giant tumor that was crushing her colon and her bladder, and there were blood vessels attached to the tumor. He told us emergency surgery was needed. We left Bailey there in their care and drove all the way back to Los Angeles, terrified that at 12 and a half years old, she wouldn't make it through the surgery. She stayed in the hospital for three nights and we called to check on her several times throughout each day. The staff also took pictures of her and sent those to us and they put us on speakerphone so that Bailey could hear our voices. We picked her up today and even though it was Dr George's day off, he came in to the hospital to talk to us personally about the surgery and Bailey's care going forward. We love this doctor. He has saved Bailey's life yet again, and for the rest of her life, we will continue to take her down to see Dr George for anything serious. He is brilliant, talented, gifted, compassionate, and he is our hero. We are forever grateful to Dr. George and the wonderful staff at Mohnacky Hospital in Carlsbad.”

“VCA has been nothing but wonderful, compassionate, and supportive Throughout the process of our young Golden and her cancer. Dr. Prouxl truly is wonderful and although we couldn't cure Lily's cancer, he gave her everything he could. There is no one we would have wanted to entrust Lily's care with more than him.”

“They were excellent. When I call and explaining my dogs problem--foxtails, which was not familiar with previously--and Lindsey made an appointment for me immediately. To the wonderful nurse that was so nice to my dog and explaining what foxtails can do to a dog and then the excellent doctor that treated my dog with so much care. I recommend them 'highly'.”

“Really apprecaite the attention and care that both Dr. Soares and Dr. Davidson show to my bulldogs. They really take the time to think through options and talk through solutions.Great people, and fortunate to have found such great vets!”

“This is a great veterinary office with exceptional vets and support staff! They are always able to accommodate urgent visit requests and everyone is so friendly and efficient. After every visit, I always get a follow up phone call to see how my dog is doing - even after a well-check appointment! I love Dr. Runyan who has the best bedside manner and never pushes anything. She provides all the options and recommendations and allows you to make the best decision for your pet. Your pets are in good hands here!”

“Before we had heard back from our vet about which food to buy, we had bought the wrong food and opened it already. But Petco happily let us exchange the opened bay for the right one and the guy who helped us was quite informative and empathetic to the health challenges our puppy is having. Overall, a quick and very easy experience.”

“I would give them 6 stars if I could. Geoffrey helped me and I can honestly say I have never had customer service as good as this. I needed my dog to be vaccinated asap so he can be boarded during my vacation. Unfortunately, my dog is older and small and the mobile clinic was unable to legally give him both vaccines that I needed. I would have to go to an actual vet office so they could do a full checkup. The problem was that it was Saturday and I had already called several vets and none of them had room for me before the following Monday when I was planning to leave for the trip. Geoffrey told me he had my back and jumped on his phone and called another vetco location that could do a full checkup and both vaccinations at the same time. He managed to get me an appointment for the next day.To clarify, when Geoffrey couldn't perform the vaccinations I needed, he called around and found someone who would. That just doesn't happen. I have never seen customer service like this. I wall always look to vetco first for any future vaccination needs. Thank you so much for saving my trip. You have earned a customer for life.”

“The Carlsbad location is where we take our dog. The puppy plan has been nice. I really like how welcoming they are when I go in. The only thing I would change is allowing owners to come in the back for each visit. I've only met a vet once and I'm always having to communicate with the vet technicians which to me is ok, but prefer to speak to the vet.”

“I love coming to Mohnacky with all my dogs. They take the best care of them and are affordable. They really show care and kindness to myself and my dogs. Dr. Souther and Dr. Bulliard (aka Dr. B) have both looked after my fur babies. Jordan was my nurse on my most recent appointment. She was so pleasant professional.I recommend Mohnacky to all my friends and family. If you want the best care for your pet, come here.Dr. Souther also offer lap spays (laparoscopic spay) which as the best option for my hyper active dog. Recovery was so much easier compared to a normal spay.”
