This is review is for my conversations with the staff and the owner , not for services rendered…read more I have a dog that needed to be seen by a vet and I knew it would probably be an expensive visit based on what I thought was happening. So I started to research vets in TJ , Mexico because I've heard about some other pet parents traveling down there for more affordable pet care. After researching quite a few , I contacted Vet Playas because based on Yelp they seemed to be at the top of their game compared to all others in that area. They also were open over the weekend and others were not based upon the hours provided. I was contacted by Ron , who I believe is the owner. He let me know that a front desk person would be contacting me shortly. I was contacted via Whats App by the front desk staff and they gave me pricing on all the procedures I'd asked about. The exam is a little less than what the states charge, however all the other procedures were much less expensive than having them done stateside. Ron texted me & then we spoke for a good amount of time going over what might be the issue with my dog and the various procedures that may have to be done to diagnose. He also gave me pricing for all of those things. He was very patient, informative, and not pushy. Thankfully my dog's original issue was resolved so I didn't end up using Vet Playas services. However, I would definitely consider them if I need vet services again based upon my conversation with Ron. I suggest to those that do not speak Spanish well, use a translator when speaking to the other staff so there are no miscommunications. Google has a translator you can enter text in whatever your language is to translate into Spanish and vice versa.

I've been to VetPlayas with all the pets in the past. This time it was very different, I was very…read moredisappointed with the quality of service let alone the price. Now I understand why their prices aren't listed. My 13 yr old chihuahua has some bumps and a big mass around her neck. I went in for a check up, at 13 years old I understand her health isn't the best. I made the appt for last wed March 4th. Wait time was normal about 15-20 mins. Th vet was with us maybe 10 mins, the surprising thing is in those 10 mins she took maybe 10-15 coming up with the bill of $16k pesos. The office spent more time calculating the optional services than actually telling me anything that could give my doggie comfort or even suggest anything outside of the ridiculous quote. I truly believe my biggest mistake was telling them I was coming in from Pasadena in case I was a bit late. Outside of the exam which they say was an oncology exam, they did absolutely nothing other than charging me $1000 pesos. Regular exam is between $300-$450 pesos, they also did grooming for $700. That seemed reasonable, even the grooming they did alot more than the Vet did just measuring her lump and rushing to give me the price. The moment I said I didn't want to do the 7-8 different exams the Vet quoted me on because of her age and honestly the cost, she lost interest and pretty much walked out. I thanked them and told myself never to return and will also pass that experience to anyone who asks.

I have several times been to this place before with my dogs. I had brought a dog that was sick and…read moreafter talking to them I decided to put her to sleep because she was no longer having a quality of life being so sick. I noticed that my dog wasn't put to sleep immediately. It took her couple minutes to finally sleep. I couldn't bear watch her that now I think they didn't do the procedure properly as putting her with anesthesia first. I wish I didn't put my dog through this place. They are quick to see the dog and will give fast care but they have become expensive and a little careless. They seem to money driven now. They don't weight the dogs as they should to give proper medication dosages. They also have increased their prices that don't seem to be any better than the US.

Review in Spanish under English review:…read more I've said this before and I'll say it again. I appreciate how Dr. Hector has always been incredibly helpful with my dogs. Last week, my bully had an ACL tear, and surgery was the only option to avoid long-term limitations and medication. Even though I live in the Bay Area, I don't mind traveling for non-urgent surgeries because I trust Dr. Hector completely. My dog always heals quickly and well under his care. Dr. Hector provides all necessary medications and is always reachable with the most helpful information. The doctor provides taxi/pick up drop off from and to San Diego. No Aprecio cómo el Dr. Héctor siempre ha sido increíblemente con mis perro(s). La semana pasada, mi bulldog francés sufrió un desgarro del ligamento en su patita derecha y la cirugía era la única opción para evitar limitaciones y medicamentos a largo plazo. Aunque vivo en el Área de la Bahía (Norte de California), no me importa viajar para cirugías porque confío completamente en el Dr. Héctor. Mi perro siempre se cura rápido y bien bajo su cuidado. El Dr. Héctor proporciona todos los medicamentos necesarios y siempre está disponible para brindarle la información más útil. Desde San Diego el doctor puede recoger y dejar a los animalitos.

I can't say enough great things about Dr. Sara and the entire team at Hospivet! She was absolutely…read moreamazing with my snappy anxious chihuahua, so gentle, kind, and incredibly patient. From the moment we walked in, she took her time with us and made sure my dog felt safe and comfortable. Dr. Sara didn't rush through the exam at all. She carefully explained what might be going on, was honest about treatment options, and made sure I fully understood everything before moving forward. You can tell she genuinely cares about her patients and their humans. After a frustrating and expensive urgent care visit in San Diego that gave me no answers I decided to look for alternatives down south and I am happy I did. My fur baby is still recovering and I am so happy and at ease to know I have a trust worthy vet team who I can turn to for anything she might need.

It completely failed and when we adopted her at seven months, the bone was in three pieces. The pain the dog must've gone through was horrible. Any vet will tell you that you do not put a plate on a growing bone. We had to have her leg removed, and she is thriving. But if a trained veterinarian had done the surgery properly the first time, she never would've had her leg amputated. If there was something I could do to ensure this guy never practiced veterinary medicine in the US again, I would do it.

At first I didn't want to drive to Playas but I soon realized it was very well worth it. Prices are reasonable, doesn't compare to USA prices.

I used the Pet Taxi Service and my Molly was transported from San Diego to Tijuana on a Friday night, to be hospitalized! It was a relief to know that Molly was getting the medical attention she needed without breaking my bank..

HIGHLY RECOMMEND Club de Nana! I live in San Diego, and over…read morethe years I tried a couple of vets in Tijuana, but honestly, I never felt comfortable with them. It often felt like the nicer the place looked, the less they actually cared about the pets. Because of that, I gave up and kept paying the ridiculous vet prices in San Diego... until I simply couldn't take it anymore. Thank God I found Club de Nana on Yelp. After reading all the great reviews (and yes, they're REAL), I decided to give them a chance, and I'm so glad I did! From the moment I walked in, I could tell this place was different. The entire staff truly cares about every pet that comes in. They don't see animals as $$$ signs, they listen, they explain, and they care about your fur babies. My first green flag was seeing multiple pets being cared for behind the front desk, literally hanging out freely instead of being locked in cages, I absolutely LOVED THAT!! There are no appointments, you just wait your turn. I've been there four times, and only once did I wait for my turn about 15-20 minutes. Every other visit was less than 5 minutes. The clinic looks like a house from the outside, so parking is limited, but even then I only had to wait about 10 minutes once. I took my 7-year-old pittie because he was bleeding while peeing. They ran different tests, diagnosed him with an enlarged prostate, and recommended surgery (neutering). It's now been 11 days since he got surgery at El Club de Nana, his stitches are out, the bleeding is completely gone, and he's happier and has so much more energy. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to the doctors Lulu and Francisco, and the staff at Club de Nana. I have my healthy, happy boy back, and I couldn't be more grateful .

I used Google Translate to explain to the medical staff his issues (heart murmur/failure, horrible teeth). Then the veterinarian that spoke English arrived and saw him. He explained what they would do and I left him there for a couple hours. They extracted 3 teeth and cleaned his remaining teeth and gave aftercare medicine and instructions! Wabi is doing great and his remaining teeth look amazing! This was at a fraction of the cost of the quotes I got from his vet in OC. They only take cash! Highly recommend! Pro tip - if you have global entry, register your car so you can take the fast sentri lanes. I went back to SD to eat breakfast with family while I waited for Wabi to be ready. Also, try to go on a weekday since they don't take appointments and it's first come, first served. If they are busy they may make you come back another day for the procedure. If you think your dog may need to undergo anesthesia - refrain from giving them food/water before you visit.
