We're vacationing from San Diego, and our Schnauzer son began exhibiting signs of anal gland distress. We brought him to Buellton Vet Clinic and, after calling our vet to verify that Dexter was up to date on his shots, they took him in right away. A lovely technician whose name I did not get, solved the problem in minutes. And the bill was a pleasant surprise. Only $38. I highly recommend this wonderful place with the kind and friendly staff. Even the house cat is fabulous ambassador. As soon as I walked in, it jumped up on the counter to greet me with a head rub. read more

We just switched to this vet because it's closer to our home and despite Buellton not having a lot of options, this place is great! The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. Dr. Kate checked on all 3 of my fur babies and took really great care of them. I didn't feel like we were getting unnecessary recommendations and the prices felt comparable to other vets in the valley. We are making a permanent switch and excited to be working with Buellton Vet! read more

We live in Los Angeles but have a home in solvang. We board our sweet Skittles there a couple of times a year and use their vet services when we need to. This is just a great facility with exceptionally nice and competent staff and owners. Over the years it has maintained its high standards and caring demeanor. I cannot recommend it more highly. Thank you for all the services and help for my babies over the past 10 years. Peggy turrill read more

My American Bulldog has been seeing Dr. Ley for years, we followed her from a vet clinic in Santa Maria down to Buellton, and she is well worth the drive!. She is the vet I recommend to everyone I know! I trust her 100% and always know my dog is in the best hands with her and will get the wonderful care she deserves. Dr. Ley is knowledgeable, kind and thorough and always loves on my big girl. At my dogs last visit, they did x-rays, and a fine needle aspirate of a mass and Dr. Ley's follow-up care for my dog was beyond what any other vet would do and surpassed my expectations. I cannot recommend her enough or thank her enough! read more

This place may be okay for routine care but do NOT trust your pet with surgery here. My beautiful GSD went in on Tuesday for a routine surgery to look for a foxtail. She became ill Wednesday and we took her to the emergency vet, she was diagnosed with aspiration pneumonia and the ER vet was shocked that buellton had not given her anti- nausea medication for her surgery. She had been npo since Monday late afternoon. She aspirated because of the poor care at buellton. She passed away Thursday despite medical intervention at the ER. She was a bright, happy and healthy dog and we did not start the week thinking that she would die due to the poor care at buellton. Please avoid surgery here, it is not worth the heartache. read more

Bailey, our Havanese mix, has been going to Buellton Veterinary Clinic since we moved to Solvang the last couple of years. Being highly recommended, I want to pass on and recommend to others! As Bailey is about 2 years old and a rescue, we can't express the high degree of health care, professionalism and friendliness of staff. The groomers are great and take extra care even with special requests on his haircuts as Bailey goes regularly for haircuts and baths. And I can tell Bailey doesn't mind going and comes home looking great! Highly recommend - do book any appt early as they sometimes do get booked. read more

I look forward to Rosie's sweet voice welcoming me when I call to let her know that Gorgonzola and I have arrived. Just hearing Rosie puts me at ease because I can tell how devoted she is to her work and patients. Dr. Gross is beyond amazing. She explains things to me and makes sure to answer my questions. Zola will be 17 years old in early August and Dr. Gross knows how to treat an older pet and her concerned owner. She also listens to my point of view and I feel fortunate to have had her as my sweet cat's doctor. Bronte is such a sweet tech. She not only works on Zola's bandages, she creates the coolest designs on the bandage. She and Dr. Gross have helped me understand how to keep Zola happy, and even though I am not a veterinarian, I feel that I have learned so much from Bronte and Dr. Gross. read more

I was very please with the level of care provided by this clinic and their staff. At first, I was a little hesitant about not being able to go inside with her, but Taylor came out and greeted me and Nola went right up to her. That eased my mind. The Dr. called me while I was sitting there and explained everything they did and what I should look for if she has a reaction. We got home and Nola gorged her food and ended up throwing up. I called and they asked me to bring her right back. They truly care about your pet. Thank you to all the staff, but especially Taylor and Dr. Ley. read more

I have been taking my dogs to BVC for more than 25 years. I think they have the best Vets on the coast and their staff rounds out the team. If you want the best care for your pet Team BVC should be your 1st stop. Thank you BVC from my whole family for your efforts each time we visit. read more

Taking our little girl Penny Lane to just any veterinarian was out of the question. We looked here on yelp for help and found BVC! We were convinced coming to BVC would be a great choice. We were drawn to the ranch style home look; not the scary hospital look. When we had our initial visit for Penny Lane we definitely felt welcomed and at home. Being that we are in a pandemic we were unable to see inside BVC but felt comfortable enough to send our girl Penny Lane in by herself. Our two month old was a big girl and got through her initial visit, Dr. Diane and Michelle C. made this possible! They both were very thorough with their answers for all of our questions too. We felt very confident in our choice with BVC. We are excited for her future visits, keeping our girl Penny Lane healthy. We may have to see about the boarding, we have a yearly trip that unfortunately Penny Lane cannot endure. So! We shall see what more BVC has to offer! Thank you BVC! read more

We just moved to the area and we hadn't gotten a full vet check for our dog since adopting him 10 months ago. Seemed like a good opportunity to check out the vet in town that I'd heard so many good things about. The office: The office itself is bright and spacious with sufficient space to sit or walk around (also lots of room outside if you have a wait on your hands.) There were children's books to entertain the littles and plenty of magazines. The vet and tech: Both were SUPER nice! They answered all my questions and gave my dog a thorough exam. I found them both to be the perfect balance between suggesting preventative maintenance while also not feeling like they're pushing you to do anything you don't want to/can't afford. The tech followed up with my after the appointment with test results and was, again, so friendly and helpful. I realize this was a very basic appointment and the true test comes when things get "hairy" but based on this experience I feel very confident in my dog being in their care. The exam rooms: We've obviously only seen the one exam room so far having only been there once but it was clean and nice. Only issue was that it was small and there wasn't really space for both my child and I to sit and once the vet and tech came in it was REALLY cramped. Really liked the place and, although I'd rather not have to go there too often, I feel good about my new hometown vet. read more

Buellton Veterinary Clinic - Before and after teeth cleaning. - Pet Sitting Near Me - Buellton, California

I recently switched over to Buellton Vet after having gone to another vet for many years. I have had 3 visits to Buellton vet so far with 3 of my 6 animals just in the last month-establishing a relationship between animal and vet. My last visit was with Dr. Ley. I found her to be extremely knowledgeable regarding my dog and her seizure disorder-much more so than any other vet I have spoken with. So, if seizures are an issue for anyone's pet, she would be your go to vet. I also found Dr. Ley to be friendly and personable. She seems to air on the side of caution regarding most issues ie; her dislike for bully sticks ( being similar to rawhide) that can get stuck in a dogs trachea or belly. Like most vets these days, there was a push for teeth cleaning via anesthesia and vaccinations. Buellton vets prices were on the higher side especially for being in Santa Ynez Valley as opposed to Santa Barbara which is where my previous vet is. I would rather pay a bit more for quality care and vets who truly listen than the alternative but that's just my thought on it. All in all, I am very satisfied with my experiences, so far, with Buellton vet and would recommend Dr. Ley-especially. read more

I have been going to Buellton Vet Clinic since I had my first dog Kaldi and now with my new pup Onyx. The staff and the doctors there are very compassionate and understanding how much we love our pups. They have gone out of their way at times to address my concerns with the care of them and never have felt that I was annoying them with all my questions. In addition , they are located in a lovely private setting that doesn't feel like that typical sterile doctors office. So Thank you to everyone there! read more

This was actually one of the first times I have seen a vet for a new animal in years. I called days ago and spoke to the sweetest man on the phone lead me in the right direction and got my new rescue Ruby right in for her shots & an exam. He even squeezed her in to get a grooming for me the customer service was top notch. I felt very welcomed and they treated our pup so well. They even had her name on a welcome board for the day, it was so sweet and personal. We will be back ! Thank you again ! read more

Since Bailey hasn't been groomed in 5 months, I've bought a grooming kit and have been giving him "covid cuts". But it was time to see Sarah who gave him a medium trim (if he needed it), trimmed his nails and at our request, gave him a bath and treatment to help with his itch and scratching (first before having him treated with meds right away). We are so happy Sarah takes the care to listen to our concerns and call with questions and complete our request and at a fair price. We are so happy as well as Bailey's itching has subsided. He's a happy dog. I trust Sarah's judgement as she always does a wonderful job! read more

Hi all, Zak the dog here. I guess I'm the first to write a review. I come to BVC all the time for check ups, baths, hang out when my mom has to go away overnight. They treat me really great, and I have lot's of fun. I get a big run when I have to stay, and get to play with other cool dogs in the play area. When I have to get shots and stuff, (yuck) they treat me real nice, and I don't mind. They always have lot of neat treats for me, and they also have some cool toys like the frisbee's. All the doctors and staff are really cool. I always get really excited when I get there and can't wait to go see everybody. You should go there too! ZAK! read more

This clinic is great. The staff are all very kind and service is great. Our dog has been seen for a few things over the year, and they always get us in to see the dr quick. We also board our dog, and although our dog hates being boarded, she is definitely well taken care of at BVC! read more

I love all the people at Buellton Veterinary Clinic - they have saved my dog, Babbett twice. First 5 years ago, and then this week. Sure I miss going in with her, but they have really coordinated everything even with Covid rethinking of caring for animals. Big Thank You! read more

We truly respect and appreciate Dr. Tina Taylor and feel we must share this with others who love and care for their precious pets. We research and expect the same from our veterinarian as we do from our physicians and specialists. Dr. Taylor is truly exceptional in her gentleness and caring attitude. Her assistants are the same. Dr. Taylor's advanced qualifications include DVM, DABVP, CVA and CVPP. She leans toward homeopathic care (which matters to us) and specializes in acupuncture. We highly recommend this outstanding vet who cares for her animal friends at the Buellton Veterinary Clinic. Dr. Diana Bochenski is a homeopathic vet with an excellent reputation at the Buellton Veterinary Clinic as well. In addition, we must commend Julie Marie Esola and her associates. Julie is an outstanding senior groomer and protects each pet she works with. She is also a behavior certified companion animal hygienist, has been a vet tech, and can provide training for pups or assist with advanced behavior issues. Five stars to Julie for sure! We have been extremely pleased with the vets, front desk personnel and every staff member we have been in contact with at the Buellton Veterinary Clinic which has been on a monthly basis. read more

We have used the Buellton Vet Clinic 2 times now while we were evacuated from 2 different fires. They boarded our cat and our 4 fancy rats both times. All the staff are amazing and friendly and just incredible with animals. They're calm, patient, caring, knowledgeable and professional. I wouldn't take my animals anywhere else! I know now that each time our animals have to stay, they'll not only be taken care of but loved and enjoyed! My brother has also used them to board his dog that has some serious separation anxiety, and they take such good care of him. I would give more than 5 stars if I could! We are very thankful to all the staff. read more

If you need anything more than your dog's nails clipped, don't take them here. They are so busy running a business that they forgot what business they are in - providing care for animals. They are so busy crafting their words so they don't have to take ownership of anything, that they forgot to provide expertise and vital information that would results in a positive outcome for my cats health, and now she is dead. read more

I haven't been to a veterinarian in years and it was time to bring my cat in for a check-up. Dr. Gross is amazing-so kind and informative. She treated me like a fellow professional, explaining Zola's issues and supporting her diagnosis with clear helpful directions. I asked a lot of questions to which she replied with answers that I found valuable. Michelle, her tech, was so kind in making sure that Zola was calm. I highly recommend the office in Buellton. It is light and airy and conducive to our feeling cared for and safe. read more

Great grooming, super friendly, was able to update vaccines and very affordable. This will be my new permanent grooming place.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about this exceptional Veterinary Clinic! The staff, boarding facilities and care is fantastic. Dr. Taylor has been so amazing in caring for our pups and always answers any questions we might have, returns calls promptly, offers holistic advice if desired and is an overall outstanding veterinarian! We board our two Icelandic Sheepdogs here regularly when traveling as they have a large double run, groomers, etc. Our dogs are always happy and healthy upon our return. We feel the love Buelton Veterinary Clinic and thank yo so very much for all you do to care for our precious pets!! read more

Too bad I have to give them EVEN ONE star. Made an appointment a month out and 3 days before the appointment they cancel with ZERO customer service. The BEST they could do was set an appointment another MONTH out. Obviously this is a very disorganized establishment that could care less about clients, future and present. This was not the fault of the customer or the dog that needed to be seen, just that they made a mistake and didn't have a back up employee to cover for one that might have been sick. Ridiculous but mostly incredibly rude that they made no attempt to fix the problem. I waited a MONTH for an appointment that they cancelled 3 days before. If I did that they would charge a cancellation fee. NEVER GOONG BACK. NEVER RECOMMENDING THIS CLINIC. read more

I boarded my dog here over the Thanksgiving holiday. I called initially to get a feel for the workers, if they seemed rushed or frustrated (if they were there was no way I was going to leave my dog here). But I got AMAZING service right off the bat. When I went in to drop of my dog they were a little busy but the employes didn't come across flustered in one bit. When I went in to pick up my dog a few days later she was happy and clean. I couldn't have asked for anything more read more

My rescue dog is a Big rough collie mix and I had a hard time finding a groomer in Solvang or Santa Ynez as a newcomer. The groomers that I talked with all said that they only groom little dogs which keep them busy enough. Jilliegirl also needed shots. Finally I got lucky. Called the Buellton Vet Clinic. They have the nicest people there. Jilly got a bath and LOVED it. Yesterday she went back for her second flu shot. She was so excited to visit with her new friends there. First time that any of my animals were actually happy to go to the Vet. Thank you Buellton Vet Clinic. You are awesome! read more

My Boston terrier was bitten by another dog on his left leg. He was Zero weight bearing and was tender to touch. I thought for sure he had torn ligaments or shoulder issue. I braced myself for an expensive vet bill. I went to Buellton Vet and the customer service I received from the vet tech was amazing! She took her time with my dog and was so sweet to him. The doctor did her exam, shaved the punctures, and assessed my dog. She assured me that my dog did not need xrays and that he was just sore and needed wound care and antibiotics. I truly believe that an alternate clinic would have requested xrays and more. My bill was less than $140. Honest Vet and loving compassionate vet tech. Thank you for not taking advantage of my situation. read more

Got into Buellton for a week of camping at Flying Flags and had our Lab with us who ended up sick. Went and had him examined by a top notch team. From the receptionist at the front desk to the vet they were kind and attentive. Everything was explained in detail. In the end our dog was in good shape within 24 hours. Thank you!! read more

I took my labradoodle to be groomed (not an easy task) they did a wonderful job!! The staff was friendly. They told me the girl that washes the dogs was done with her last dog for the day and was about to leave but if I wanted to bring my dog she would wait and wash him. The sweetest girl. I needed to have proof of my dogs vaccines, which I could not find. They called my old vet for me and got the info they needed so I wouldn't have to stop and get it. Saved me time, love it!! They told me what time he would be done and called me 30 min before that time to let me know that it would be a little longer because he had some matting in his tail. Again saving me time so I wouldn't have to just sit and wait for him. A great experience !!!! read more

While staying in the area, we had a little doggie leg injury. They were able to get us right in and were very friendly doing so. The vet tech and Dr. Diana were very kind and thorough and the cost of the visit and meds was very reasonable. Great job! Will definitely come again if in the area and in need of vet services! read more
