Cannabinoid is a broad term covering compounds found in cannabis and hemp. Some of the better-known cannabinoids are THC and CBD, although there are over 140 different cannabinoids present in hemp plants. THC is best known for psychoactive properties and is not safe for pets. Pet owners are increasingly looking to hemp products and cannabinoids as a first option for joint support, and an alternative to traditional pain products and medications.

The crew at Santa Barbara Animal Hospital are extremely caring, compassionate, honest and understanding. I contacted them about my beautiful dog, Sadie. Instead of trying to get me in and spending an excessive amount of money, they told me all of my options up front, with no unnecessary, costly procedures. They understand that your pets aren’t just animals, they’re family. They’re so nice and will help you any way they can. I can’t thank them enough for their honesty and compassion. If you want an honest vet who actually cares about you and your pet and not just your money, Santa Barbara

I am being kind because I did was register my pet as a new patient. The receptionist was new and very pleasant, she had to ask a few questions of her co-worker and it was done well in a timely fashion. The staff was very cheerful and welcoming, the lobby was very clean. Since I was just registering I did not meet the doctor see an exam room etc.

One of the best vets I've ever been too! They always value and take such great care of my precious babies!! A caring vet is most important. These fur babies aren't just dogs. They have emotions and feelings like us and should be treated as such! They are important to our children and families so why mistreat them? We must always take care of our fur babies. This vet is on my highly recommended list because of the way they care for my fur babies!!

The staff,service and doctor were very sweet, kind and professional. I would have give 5 stars, but, I felt they all could have been more informative and understanding for my dogs concerns.
Price a little higher, but, it was only alittle more than the other animal hospital.
The hospital itself was very, very clean with great atmosphere.
