    Very knowledgeable and helpful. My dog was very ill due to Pancreatitis and Dr Jones and Dr Valdez…read moreattended to him on very short notice. If you're looking for a vet you can trust , you should bring your pet here

    Highly don't recommend this place if you want your dog to get abused or you get educated on how to…read morehandle your own dog. Brought my dog here because he had an eye infection. When I walked in the people at the front desk were super nice and understanding. Side note: He doesn't like men or going new places. I had to put a muzzle on him so he wouldn't bite anyone during the appointment. My pup also does bite work as he is a working dog. I let everyone know that he does and would need a muzzle to make the process go a little smoother. I felt terrible the whole time and I know it was comfortable for him. The doctor walks in and tells me to hold him by the collar to look at his eyes all this while my dog is flipping out, overstimulated from a man trying to walk toward him. He said that he does have an eye infection and wants to put medication in his eyes. I said I'll do it at home as I already had dogs that have special eye drops. He looked at me like I must be crazy or something. He then proceeded to say "you should get your dog trained" I'm sorry what??? Do not tell me that I should get my dog trained when you don't know anything about him and are trying to hold him and force medication in his eyes. Kept nagging about getting him trained and gave me a business card. I would like to point out I train my dog everyday and take him to a training facility where they know what I need to do to help my dog. My dog is fine but I think it's the doctor that needs to get educated on how to handle dogs cause he clearly doesn't.

    I am deeply disappointed and frustrated with the care my dog received at Fallbrook Animal Hospital…read more I brought my dog in specifically for a severe ear infection, which can be life-threatening if left untreated. Despite spending over $500 last week for a culture and what was supposed to be a thorough examination of his ear, the vet failed to properly examine the ear drum or provide an accurate diagnosis. This week, after the culture results came back, I was told my dog needs a topical antibiotic ointment for his ear infection. However, they admitted they don't know if his ear drum is ruptured because they never performed the proper exam last week--the very reason I brought him in. Now, they want me to pay an additional $55 for an exam they should have done initially. When I expressed that this was unacceptable, Tiffany, the manager, dismissively told me I could find another vet because I'm "not a good fit." This is complete medical and animal negligence. My dog remains in excruciating pain with no effective treatment, and the clinic is refusing to complete the necessary examination or provide care. This level of neglect is unacceptable and dangerous. Ear infections caused by rod-shaped bacteria (RODS) can be fatal without proper treatment. As a pet owner in California, I know I have the right to competent veterinary care, clear communication about my pet's condition and treatment, and the ability to seek a second opinion if I believe the care is inadequate. I also have the right to file a complaint with the California Veterinary Medical Board if I suspect negligence or malpractice. I urge the owner of Fallbrook Animal Hospital to take this seriously. Denying care and dismissing concerned pet owners not only harms animals but also exposes the clinic to legal consequences. I hope this review encourages others to carefully consider their options before trusting their pets to this hospital. I will be taking action.

    Today was my fifth visit and I brought both of my miscreants who at first weren't so happy to be…read morethere. In any event, the vet techs are ALL beyond friendly and helpful. You can tell that while this might be their job, they love all the lil fur babies that enter. Have always had excellent care and will continue to put my kids into their care!!!
