La Costa Animal Hospital Is A "Class Act"! Six years ago, prior to relocating from South Pasadena, CA to the Carlsbad area, I asked my veterinarian for a recommendation. His advice --- “Find an animal hospital that is AAHA-accredited.” Luckily for me --- and for my pets --- past, present and future --- La Costa Animal Hospital met that requirement. Since that time, Dr. Schatzle and company have always been there for me and my “puppies.” Throughout our association, my respect for and appreciation of their service and ... read more

This staff is amazing. They are so kind and caring! They came to my home as it was time for my lucky to be set free. They made this really hard moment a little easier with their warmth and understanding. It was loving and peaceful. I would highly recommend their services. The Dr even took the time to send us a personal written card checking up on us. Thank you so much for everything! The Dunn Family

The staff at La Costa Animal Hospital is absolutely the best Veterinarian I have ever taken my dogs. on July 12th, 2018 my Bella was brutally attacked by another dog off leash.

The staff is amazing and I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you to everyone who was there that day I am forev... read more

Absolutely great staff! Everyone so friendly! Had to bring our dog Brady for follow up visit from incident in Phoenix. Found La Costa Animal Hospital on Yelp. Had great reviews and now we certainly know why. We have to come back again for another bandage change and then removal of stitches. Definitely recommend!!

Horrible place! These people are only interested in your money, NOT the health of your pet. Dr. ******** is a money hungry doctor. My dog was a long time patient there. Dr. ******** REFUSED HER SERVICE. We went in for a routine **** gland expression, and they would not do it because she was due for shots. The rude nurse told me that it is a California law. This is a lie! There is NO law in California stating that your dog has to be current on shots to get an **** glad expression. They were trying to get more money out of me ... read more
