I brought my cat in for a second opinion on her chronically irritated eye that numerous previous vets have all attributed to feline herpes. They have all said it is largely untreatable and just something she will always deal with.Dr. Grunewald did a general exam and then did a swab test to determine the cause, which no other vet has even offered to me before now. The results showed that she may not have herpes at all, but has a parasitic infection that could be treated with antibiotics.We also discovered that she has struvites and had a UTI that we began treating. Throughout this process, Dr. Grunewald and the entire staff has been so friendly, responsive and helpful. They send texts to update you on test results, provide advice, adjust treatment plans, and answer my (many) questions. This is so helpful and also saves you from additional (stressful!) visits to the vet with your pet.My cat is finally getting the treatment she needs and Dr. Grunewald's knowledge and thorough approach is the entire reason why. I'm so grateful to them, and I cannot recommend them enough!

Dr. Christine Sellers, DVM, is the best avian vet around, bar none. We've been going to her for close to 28 years...She's well worth the two hour's round trip drive!!

Mr. Wheezy Cat approved!! I've had a lot of vets over the years and lived in many states and this is by far my favorite vet. Prices are really reasonable compared to other vet's I've been to and have liked way less and its an added bonus that everyone here is super awesome, friendly, kind and knowledgeable. I've been taking my cat Mr. Wheezy Cat here since we moved back into town from Santa Ynez about 2 years ago and Dr. Kelsey Grunewald always makes Wheezy feel comfortable and calm during his visits and exams. Recently he had to have a tooth extracted, and everyone was so helpful and calming before the surgery. He got sent home with some pain meds just incase but just two days later is pain free and back outside rolling in dirt and playing in flower beds living his best kitty life! I am so thankful for you all and the awesome work you do in helping our fur/feather babies stay happy and healthy. Thank you all so much!!!

Wonderful people working the front office and veterinary staff at this location and business. I spoke with both Isabel and Mataya, and their personal assistance, and recommendation saved our cats life. It was a medium type emergency. Not truly AVS necessary, but more than a regular vet check up and visit.They highly recommended Dr. Addie and the urgent veterinary care of Santa Barbara. We called the care office and they encouraged us to come in - if possible, before 7:30 (last patient seen). We arrived at 6:15 with no appointment. Our wait was brief before they took our furry family member for an assessment.Dr. Addie quickly appeared and gave us the run-down on the patients condition. She was going to forge ahead with the necessary measures to successfully overcome the affliction. We were elated. One hour later he was ready to go, meds in hand. Amazing experience. If you’re considering visiting this office, don’t hesitate one bit. You’re in exceptionally good hands.Thank you to both Isabel and Mataya. Your patience and guidance made all the difference in the world. ?#forevergrateful.

I have been taking my cats to Dr. Sellers for years. This is the best place in SB for quality and honest veterinary care. As a native to the area with cats my whole life, I had been to many other veterinary practices before landing on this one. Dr. Sellers is an earth angel.

MY FAVORITE VET EVER! And I've been to a ton.... Taco had PTSD from his vile first mother in Tribeca and peed outside the box. It was wholly mental, though I do think putting him on Urinary SO (Royal Canin $$$ Rx food) two years helped curb the problem. Urination outside the box is a complex and difficult thing to fix. Most vets told me he would always do it to some extent, though perhaps less. They were wrong. PTSD is real---in humans and pets. That woman was a truly bad human and it took years of love and safety for Taco to pee 100% in the box. In a year, he's only sprayed once (and only because I had a visitor who accidentally poked him in the ear). And only on a bathmat. No biggie. I love my three Manhattan vets and my Pacific Palisades vet is great (but the staff totally incompetent). But Dr Grunewald is an angel. I dropped Taco off for a wellness check and also second opinion re teeth. Cleaning cat teeth is a big production requiring anesthesia and my Palisades vet said it would take all day. At the Cat and Bird Clinic (which has an aquarium!), it's three hours tops. Range: $200-500 which is way under what my friends in NYC and LA reported as the going rate. Office visits are only $68 and there's no waiting. I dropped Taco at 8:30. Went outside to take a few phone calls and call old vet (again) to get recent bloodwork sent over, then had him home by a little after 9AM. I get annoyed with Santa Barbara's size, sleepiness, and provinciality, but when it comes to stuff like this, it's nice to live in a small-town. This vet is across the street from my chiropractor, Dr Neal Barry (Best of SB in Independent last year and always a finalist). Just a few minutes drive from San Roque/Samarkand. I'm so happy to have found a new vet for Taco, even if I'm moving in 6 or so months. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! NOTE: NEVER EVER GO TO ADOBE PET CLINIC by Kyoto. I won't rehash but trust me. They are very, very bad (the old senior vet, male, if he's still around). The younger woman is good with animals but has no power in the operation and if you want to know how your ex-cat died, you're SOL. Every day I drive by, I hope that clinic has become a Verizon store or La Salsa. Some things are forgivable. Their conduct--and specifically the diabolical senior male---is not. I hope they get audited (not that they committed any financial impropriety) and flooded. Termites and bedbugs too! Basically, all the Biblical plagues!

You and your furry or feathered family members will be Feline fine after a visit to Dr. Sellers Vet Clinic! I have taken my cats here for years (then moved away, then moved back, and was so relieved Dr. Sellers is still here serving the great furbabies of Santa Barbara!) Her expertise and patience is unmatched. The office staff is so knowledgeable, helpful and courteous! They work so hard, promptly returning all inquiries, calls or texts and bend over backwards for clients and their pets. Always a Pawsitively Purrfect experience. I can rest easy knowing my babies are in such good hands. Thank you to the team at Cat & Bird Clinic!

Friendly, caring, and with 30+ years of experience! Dr Sellers took all the time needed to examine my cat and advise me about nutritional options.She even removed tartar from two teeth, so we don't have to come back for a teeth cleaning.

Its a really good clinic For birds! My bird got sick on february, and We rushed Her to the vet. When we arrived they welcomed My bird Yago. If it weren't for Them saving my bird from a Broken wing, I dont Think She would've survived.Thankyou for saving My bird.

I love the cat and bird clinic! The vets there have saved my bird's life when everyone thought she would die. They are always thorough, knowledgable and have fair prices, particularly for an avian vet. I bring all three of my birds there for check ups, illnesses and grooming.
