The caring demeanor, patience, and communication from MELROSE VETERINARY was so unexpected and welcome and the continual follow up thereafter was the icing on the cake. I wouldn't go anywhere else!

SoCal Vet quoted me 1/3 of the price of other Vets in my area- about $700 for a 20lb doggy with poor dental. The price included blood work, x-rays, anesthesia, meds, AND extractions. My pug needed quite a few teefs removed. They clipped her nails free of charge. The Gentlemen (forgive me, I forgot his name) who went over x-rays and cleaned her teeth is great at what he does! I have since taken her back for a dental check, and brought my other pug. Both were sedated and received the full dental treatment. The price has remained the same for each! Dr and Staff are sweet; they are busy, but very kind. Def recommend them.

I visited from out of town to help my family in San Marcos with their recently adopted shepherd mix girl, Skye. She was a stray in an overcrowded/high-kill shelter in Los Angeles, so before coming, we were hoping to meet a very compassionate vet that understands rescue dogs well. We also wanted to meet a vet that wouldn't make us feel rushed with our appointment, which thankfully, Dr. Luna didn't do at all. I look forward to coming here some day with my own dog, Simba, if there were to be a concern with his health while visiting San Marcos. Though the only downside for this practice is that they close on weekends.

First was my big Maine coon cat who was having severe kidney issues. Dr. Bowdre and staff were so thoughtful and kind and with all of their recommendations he is still thriving today. About 10 days ago my 16-year-old rescue Yorkie was failing quickly. I'll spare you the details. I was treated kindly and respectfully at a time where I was truly heartbroken. The next day I brought her in and held her to the very end. I miss her a lot, and the other dogs mourned her. But what happened before all of that was what I want you to know. The vet-tech came in with a little silver platter. On it with a tongue, depressor coated in cheese-wiz and three Hershey's kisses. She had not eaten in three days, however, she lifted her little head and enjoyed her final treats. Chocolate, you say? Something I would've never given her, however, I figured this was her Thelma and Louise moment. That act of kindness and a little bit of a chuckle still warms my heart.

We thought we would have a good experience based on their recommendation. When our cat was sick and we called for an appointment, not only did they not help us get in, but they also didn't recommend any other places. Furthermore, the woman on the phone wasn't empathic and, dare I say, borderline unprofessional. As a former business owner, I wouldn't want that person answering my phones. It's because of her that this clinic lost our business. She was short and not very helpful. We ended up going to the VCA in Escondido (Acacia) and had a really good experience from the first phone call to check out. It's all about touch points with clientele and from the first touch point with Tri-city, we were disappointed. Not even because they couldn't get us in same-day, but mostly because of the woman on the phone completely FAILING at her job. My wife and I hung up and both said synonymously, "we will never take our pets there." Giving 3 stars only because it would be unfair to give only one star (even though that was our experience) based on the phone person alone without seeing a vet.

The doctors and staff genuinely care about animals and always treat Buck with kindness, patience, and compassion. One of the things we appreciate most is their honesty. They never make us feel pressured into unnecessary tests or treatments, and they always take the time to explain our options clearly. It's obvious that their recommendations are based on what's best for Buck, not on running up a bill. That level of integrity is hard to find and means a lot to us. The entire team is professional, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated to the well-being of the animals they care for. Buck actually seems comfortable when he comes in, which says a lot! Knowing that he's in good hands gives us tremendous peace of mind. If you're looking for a veterinary hospital that provides excellent care, charges fairly, and genuinely loves animals, I highly recommend them. We are grateful to have found a team we can trust with Buck's health and well-being.

I was soooooo disappointed and felt so bad for my cat!!! I left with my cat back to my car hunting for available urgent cares to see my cat. Ended up at Monhacky Animal Hospital in Carlsbad in major traffic thanks to Fredddie's Place telling me to come bring my cat in, only to turn us away 20 minutes later. Unreal!! Thanks to you, my poor sick cat cried and cried more due to much more time in the car.
