    I can't say enough good things about this vet. I've been bringing my pomeranian in since 2023. I…read morefound them because I was interested in acupuncture. My senior pomeranian had a slipped disk and kidney disease and I wanted to help his pain without harsh drugs. Accupunture deffinitly changed his life! If it wasn't for this vet, I really don't think my pup would still be alive today. I encourage pet owners to try out this holistic supplement for kidney disease. In combination with other supplements, this has really helped manage this horrible disease. I didn't really know much about holistic medicine before this but it has deffinitly changed how I care for my dogs.

I came in as my elderly cat had this episode where his head was shaking, and when I showed her the video she said it was probably a mini seizure and he could have a brain tumor. Didn't check his ears. And wanted to right away do blood work and thousands of dollars of tests which I declined at his age and I also just spent over $400 2 months ago for a full blood work. He had another episode of the head shaking and last night I had to take him to the emergency vet and they said he has a double ear infection and the worst she's even seen in 21 years! To the point his ears are so backed up with stuff that it needed to be carefully removed and because of this, it could cause Bells Palsy. The ear infection was for sure there when I came for his exam and I don't know how a vet could miss this. Because of this I spent $530 at the emergency vet and he's on multiple medications. Please be careful if you go here and you'll need to do your own research and figure things out on your own unless you want to pay thousands of dollars for testing.

    We knew our boy Moose, whom we had since he was 3-5 years old who was now 15-17 needed Paws into…read moreGrace. It's not what we wanted (him gone) but it was the right thing to do since he had become ill and wasn't wanting to eat. In contacting them over the phone and sharing our situation, the attendant was extremely responsive and empathetic to our situation. As the date got closer, our poor boy declined quicker and we even had to move the date up. The company was super flexible and understanding and we were grateful they were able to accommodate this move to two days earlier. When the day came, we were certainly sad. When Dr. Benson arrived, she was soft spoken and kind. She greeted Moose and as soon as he noticed someone had walked in he got up and wagged his tail the best he could. This scene brought me to tears because that was the essence of who Moose was as our pet. He loved ALL humans and was always seeking their attention. Dr. Benson pet Moose and gave him love and affection. He received it and then went to his bed shortly after. She explained the process to us from start to finish. She was gentle in her wording and handling of every last detail. We set Moose up in one of his favorite sunning spots in the yard on his bed. And gracefully, Moose crossed over the rainbow bridge. We were given plenty of time to spend with Moose as the sedative worked and then after the final moments we were able to say our final goodbyes. The gentlemen who came to take care of Moose afterwards was soft spoken and extremely kind. He took care of Moose and left respectfully as he came. We are so grateful from start to finish how this went with our beloved boy. We will forever miss him. But the send off he was given will be forever a part of his journey. Thank you, Paws into Grace. Your whole team are gems.

    It's been two weeks since my dog came back to me from Paws into Grace. It was a sudden loss that I…read morewas grateful for this company to have a time slot last minute for my family. However, there were some not so great things or improvements they should consider. Initial call with the lady to schedule was alright. She honestly didn't cover much of information, I felt like I had to ask her a lot of questions that she initially didn't mention. If she can slowly just go over from start to finish, it would've eased my mind a little bit more during this horrible time. In details... I know this is a business, but also this isn't something people go through every year (hopefully). The doctor came and she was very understanding of the situation. It felt like she was genuinely sorry for what we were going through as she also lost hers not long ago. I do wish that she would've stepped outside the house to give me little more privacy, but it is what it is. Im sure I could've asked. She did her best in the circumstances. Now, the worst part of this experience was the picking up the ashes. It took me 1 hour round trip to get there and it took 2 seconds to get her back and leave the place. The lady came out with a brown bag and hurried me out the door. I honestly didn't know what to expect, but that wasn't it. I was dumbfounded of like what just happened? Can I at least take a moment to open the bag to see what's all inside? Take a moment to just take it all in that I'm picking my child up as ashes? It felt like 'ok, you paid me, now you can go' vibe. It would've been nice to just take a moment instead of being rushed out. Also not sure why they don't offer drop off, I know a lot of people would pay extra for that so at least they are home when they receive the ashes back and go back to cry all they want at home. I really do appreciate what this company does, but there are something that need some improvements.

    After several awful experiences with other dog trainers--some so harsh that my dogs would literally…read morerun and hide at the sight of them--I was honestly hesitant to try again. But finding Emily of The Dog Listener has been one of the greatest blessings for me and my American Bully puppy. From the very first session, Emily brought a calm, confident energy that completely changed the way I relate to my dog. Through private lessons and her incredible monthly Pack Walks, she has helped my puppy grow into a balanced, well-behaved companion. Most importantly, she's helped me grow--into a more confident, peaceful, and capable handler. What truly sets Emily apart is her compassion. My dogs don't just tolerate her--they adore her. The excitement and joy they show when she arrives is real, and it speaks volumes about the kind of person and trainer she is. Her love for dogs is genuine, and they feel it. I get emotional thinking about where we started and how far we've come. Emily is a true godsend, and I can't recommend her enough to anyone looking for a kind, effective, and empowering trainer who truly understands dogs--and their people.

While most trainers would see him as a big challenge, or just recommend boarding straight away, Emily was confident and saw so much potential in him. With her incredible knowledge and patience, Emily changed our life! We can now walk our boy without it being a horrible experience and we have structure/tools for any challenge that comes our way. Emily is also huge on communication and made me feel comfortable texting her at ALL times. She always responds straight away and gives me tips in the moment until our next session. What dedication and passion. Don't waste your money and time with anyone else! Put the work in and Emily will get you results 100% and genuinely cares! Can't say enough wonderful things!

    It sure is hard to find an animal chiropractor in San Diego. I am so happy that I found Dr. Paul…read more I have 4 senior dogs with different issues. My dad was a chiropractor and sometimes helped animals so I knew the benefits for them. Right now Dr. Paul is at Sorrento Valley and Escondido locations. While a bit further than I would hope, the drive is totally worth it. My pets receive amazing care. Between the chiropractic treatment and the laser therapy, the targeted approach has made an obvious difference in my pets' quality of life. Dr. Paul is really nice and so good with the animals. He's really great and if you are even slightly considering chiropractic for your dog, you should give it a try, and specifically with Dr. Paul.

We began treatment with Dr. Paul and Louise immediately had improved walking and was able to build her endurance back for longer walks! I feel so grateful for Dr. Paul. He's very gentle and understanding with my high energy and very determined dog. He also teaches you, as the pet owner, about what his process for assessing the injury/misalignments as well as practical stretches in order to best support your pet to maintain their improvements. It feels so wonderful to trust that my pet is in good and genuinely caring hands during her visits. I can't say enough good things to describe how positive our experiences have been with Dr Paul. Thank you!

    I had a very disappointing and concerning experience at this vet office and would strongly caution…read moreothers before bringing their pets here, especially if you have a working dog breed. During our visit with Dr. Hackett, I felt like I was unnecessarily alarmed and pushed toward additional testing that turned out to be completely unnecessary. I brought in my two dogs, including my Border Collie, whose heart rate Dr. Hackett immediately treated as a serious concern. She made it sound like something could be very wrong and suggested multiple tests to rule out an emergency situation. My border collie also gets seizures which I told Dr. Hackett about and she told me she thought they are fainting spells due to his low heart rate, not seizures. Which I also got confirmations he definitely has seizures and nothing else like she suggested. After leaving very worried, I sought second opinions from other veterinarians. They all reassured me that my Border Collie's heart rate was completely normal for the breed and that they have seen even lower heart rates in athletic dogs like him despite his seizures. What was presented to me as potentially alarming was actually very typical. The same thing happened with my senior dog. Dr. Hackett told me her kidney and liver values were elevated and strongly pushed further testing, making it sound urgent. When I had another vet review the labs, they explained the values were only slightly elevated and extremely common in older dogs. They even told me she is far more likely to pass from old age before those numbers would ever reach liver failure levels. They also mentioned the slight elevation could simply be due to her high-protein diet. The experience left me feeling like fear was used to push unnecessary testing rather than providing balanced, knowledgeable guidance. It caused a lot of unnecessary stress and extra expense. Because of this, I would personally recommend seeking care elsewhere and getting a second opinion if you are ever told something is urgently wrong here.

He finally came out a few hours later, with help from several neighbors. He needed urgent help and I started at my neighborhood vet, Rancho San Carlos Pet Clinic. Charlie and I were offered immediate assistance. All of the staff were so kind and showed great care as we determined Charlie's injuries. They were calm, and therefore, he was calm. After X-rays and CT of his organs, he showed that he had no broken bones or punctured organs/internal bleeding! However, he did require reattachment of his skin to his bones on one of his hind legs and stitches on his other leg. A huge thanks to Dr. Halsey and her team and we were sent quickly to Tell Tail Moonlight Veterinary Center in Encinitas, where they were ready and waiting for Charlie! The office staff was also very kind and caring and the facility is very clean-I didn't even detect that it was a veterinary center with my nose. Dr. Soares was very thoughtful and thorough explaining the surgery plan, and her team successfully completed the surgery, as well as a toe amputation. They worked on him well past closing time. Veterinary angels, if you ask me! Hands down, I would give my highest recommendation to both of these businesses for your veterinary needs. I saw a lot of happy pets and happy owners that day while I waited for Charlie! I'm a huge fan!
