Point Loma Veterinary Clinic
If you need help budgeting for your pet's medical care, CareCredit can help pay for our-of-pocket healthcare expenses. Most people wish they had pet insurance when their pet develops a medical/surgical problem that they haven't budgeted for. It's important to get pet insurance before a medical problem develops otherwise the condition will be "pre-existing" and will not be reimbursed.

If your pet has one of the abnormal conditions above or something else you are concerned about, please contact us so that we can help your special companion. We proudly provide generous discounts for medical, surgical and dental care for pets waiting for adoption in several rescue organizations.
Services
Because of the shorter lifespan of our pets, we stress the importance of an annual physical examination. Thorough check-ups and preventive care can help alleviate serious health problems. I first took my dog to a vet in Lemon Grove. They quoted $2000 to treat my dog's teeth where my dog's jaw was swollen and painful and she was too sick to eat.
The best Wellness Plan that you can purchase for your pet is a really good pet insurance policy because it helps pay for emergencies, surgeries, dentistries, specialists, and most of your pets medical needs. Below is an pet insurance company that we recommend. Most people wish they had pet insurance when their pet develops a medical or surgical problem that they haven't budgeted for.
Heartworm disease develops when a dog is bitten by a mosquito that is carrying heartworm larvae from the blood of an infected dog. Due to the serious health consequences and the additional dangers associated with treatment when a dog is tested positive for heartworms, we are recommending heartworm prevention for all dogs.
During the month of April, you receive 1 free dose if you purchase a 6-dose package of Simparica. If you enroll in Zoetis Rewards Program, you get the equivalent of an additional dose for free ($15 value). Canine Heartworm Disease is caused by large worms that live in the heart of a dog. Mosquitos spread heartworms when they remove microfilaria larvae in the blood from an infected dog and bite a non-infected dog.

This vet clinic rips you off! They try and take every hard earn dollar from you. For example my dog gets a recurring foot rash. I use a shampoo and a prescription cream. They want you to spend $74 on an exam when earlier in the year I did the same thing. I asked instead if I could bring her in so the vet could look at the paws. They said no and that I need the $74 exam because it’s a prescription. I asked her since this has already been prescribed to my dog a few months back what the difference was from the vet looking at the paws over the exam and she put me on hold and then came back and said

Dr. Cardeiro and her staff are excellent: friendly, kind, and willing to answer all my questions. They always take great care of my dog, Peach. From surgery to allergies to check-ups, every visit has been positive. Dr. Cardeiro is so calm and informative, I love her demeanor and it puts Peach at ease when she is nervous. I also appreciate how they don't pressure me to purchase extras, they give me the options and let me choose without judgement. I'm so thankful to have a great vet for my pup!

I went here for a first appointment, arrived early and sat in a room for 45 minutes. No one apologized for any wait or let me know the vet was running behind. When I told staff that my time is also valuable and 45 minutes was excessive wait with no explanation I was told the vet couldn’t see me. Respect goes both ways… I felt none from the staff or vet, only arrogance.
In response to owner’s reply:
1) I never asked how long it was going to take. Only after waiting 30 minutes with no update I asked if they had an idea how much longer it would be before I would be seen. I gave all prior vets

Dr. Cardeiro and the vet techs are professional and caring. During the first consultation, Dr. Carderio was thorough with the examination, she came out and went over my dog’s history and explained everything. Her experience shows as she recommended things for my dog’s various ailments that we were already doing after months of trial and error but hadn’t mentioned yet. She demonstrated a lot of care and not at any point did we feel pressured to do anything unnecessary.
We decided to come back for my dog’s dental. They did a great job being transparent about costs and providing a detailed

I have been bringing my mini wiener dog puppy to Point Loma Veterinary Clinic for all his puppy shots, and I am very happy with the service. My pup loves coming here, even though its always been for shots. They are very friendly, and seem to honestly care about the animals they treat. Free nail trimmings during puppy exams are super convenient too. I would recommend this place to everyone who loves their pet.

Emma and Dr. Cadeiro gave Kevin amazing treatment today! I highly recommend this spot for all veterinary needs. I came in for a booster vaccine and they were so thorough they diagnosed him on the spot with seasonal allergies also. They were able to solve our problem we’ve been battling for months! Kevin says amazing team and thanks again ladies!!!!
