We found him a new vet. West Coast Animal Hospital provided us with a caring, dignified and peaceful euthanization for him. A year later when we needed a vet for a car adoption we knew exactly where we would be going. We brought our new kitten to them for a good once over and vaccinations. They are great and plan to remain with them as long as we remain in the area for this cat and future pets.

West coast has been an amazing vet for our dog for the past couple years. They are always willing to answer our random questions over the phone and make it easy to schedule appointments - whether it be for a routine checkup or something that comes up out of the blue. The staff is incredibly nice and the doctors there are super friendly and honest about what’s best for our dog. I would highly recommend West Coast!

I just moved to the area and took my two dogs for their first visit to West Coast Animal Hospital. Every single person I encountered could not have been more friendly and professional. Dr. Bower is amazing! I’m so happy a found a great vet and would highly recommend them!

We got a puppy during the pandemic (like so many others) and finding a vet was not easy as a lot of them were not taking on new clients. A friend referred me to West Coast Animal Hospital. They have been amazing. Getting appointments is easy and they also respond to my text messages when I send in pictures and questions about something I am worried about (first time puppy owner ;)

I brought my 18 year old cat, Pickles, to the vet because she's been howling at night. The clinic was very clean, the staff was AMAZING, friendly and kind. They diagnosed her and I'll be picking up the prescription to start treatment. Thank you for your wonderful service!

This place practices great medicine! I have been bringing my baby sphynx here and have not been disappointed. It was time for him to get neutered, but I was hesitant about going here because of the high cost. I began looking at other clinics, some will do this for around $100, and was absolutely terrified by some of the reviews. So, I chose to go with West Coast Animal Hospital. It’s my baby’s 4th day of recovery and WOW, it’s almost like it didn’t happen. Very impressed by how quick his healing process has been, obviously due to the great care the nurses and vets gave him. Thank you!

Such a wonderful vet! Just moved to San Diego and my rescue Shepard struggling with separation anxiety due to the new environment. They got me in within a day, were so kind. Everyone treated my dog so well. We’re really thorough with Lupa. So happy!

Dr. Tyler and staff, I can not thank you enough for all that you've done for my Staffordshire terrier, Pitbull, Marley. On 9/7 I took my dog in because she has multiple lumps that were noticed in August. Dr. Tyler was so sensitive, professional and immediately told me my dog is on hospice. I never imagined by all the phone calls, efforts, and genuine care from the staff that my dog will be laid to rest today.
Thank you staff, Thank you Dr. Tyler for being open and honest about cost and not wanting to do unnecessary test for my pet. A friend recommended me to come here and I am forever loyal to

Took my very shy rescue in for his first check up/vaccine updates. He was shaking as soon as he entered the building. Staff were AMAZING to him. Dr. Bower and another woman (I apologize for forgetting her name) were very considerate of how scared he was and even treated him while he held onto me.
I felt like there was no pressure to buy anything or do extra—just information provided. They recommended the most cost efficient methods always. I really appreciated how well they treated my dog and how sweet and considerate they were of how scared he was. Thank you both for being so thoughtful and

We recently moved to California from the East Coast and got a new golden retriever puppy, Daisy Madison. West Coast Vet from day ONE has been nothing but friendly, professional, kind, and responsive. Daisy just had her spay surgery (they have puppy package bundle deals) and they took such great care of her (and me!). They kept me updated on how she was doing throughout the day and she is doing wonderfully. I am so lucky we found West Coast Vet and their team, I would highly recommend them to anyone! Thank you.
