Why Pet Parents Love Us

"I recently moved to the area and needed to find a vet after discovering my dog had a cancerous tumor. I’m so grateful I found La Jolla Veterinary Hospital. From the moment I walked in, everyone—from the receptionist to the technicians, Aida and Timber, all the way to Dr. Pearson—was incredibly sweet, communicative, and made me feel at ease during such a stressful time. Their care and professionalism reassured me that my dog was in the best hands. If you're looking for a place where your pet is safe and well-cared for, this is it!"

"La Jolla Veterinary hospital has been a beach of hope for my sweet little 16 yr old Shi-tsu. He is challenging to care for and administer any medical interventions but their genuine care, compassion, and dedication to providing optimal quality of care for whatever “special need” is required goes above and beyond!!! Thank You Irene, Dr. Blumenthal, and Theresa! Bozzy and I love you guys!!"

Priscilla L.

"Always happy with the care received from La Jolla Vet! Although you might see a different vet each time, they act as a cohesive team by reviewing prior visit notes. Dr. Rafael was patient with all of my questions today, and I left confidently with a reasonably priced treatment plan for my cats asthma"
