A Major downturn over the last couple of years Used to absolutely love this place. For emergency care, it used to be the very best. I recommended it to anyone who asked for a good vet. But something has happened over the past year or so. Buzzy is the greatest part of this office. Come in on a day he is off, and you won't believe it's the same place.

But something has happened over the past year or so. Buzzy is the greatest part of this office. Come in on a day he is off, and you won't believe it's the same place. The rest of the staff? Officious, inept, and quick to double talk. You are not a patient who is shown to a room, you are now "loaded" into a room, much like a cow or horse into a... read more

Freak Accidents My dog Jake has had two freak accidents in the past 3 months that have left him hospitalized. The first time we went to our reg vet for care and after 4 hours of waiting for just an Xray, they said he had a collapsed lung and transferred to Pet Emergency in La Mesa at the edge of death. From the moment we walked in their door we were impressed with the facilties and knew Jake would be well cared for, and they saved his life.

I'm not sure I'm not sure about this place. I thought they'd be great when I took in my chow who was very ill and had to have a hysterectomy. A few months later I took her and my cat in to be seen. After the surgery my dog gained a lot of weight. My cat was very, very skinny despite having a good appetite. I didn't get any answers or explanations from them except that their blood work was fine. About a year later, I learned that my cat had a severe kidney problem which eventually claimed his life. Another time I took my othe... read more

Kind Caring in a Difficult Situation Things did not turn out well for our very sick kitty, but the vets and staff at Pet Emergency were kind and caring in helping him, and me. Thank goodness they were there, on a Sunday morning.

Glad they're close by! I had to bring my dog to the emergency vet one night very late, and staff was very quick to help get my dog treatment - they were friendly and patient, and calming. The people who work there are pretty nice and experienced. Prices are not as bad as you would think for an emergency vet! PROS: close, friendly, good service CONS:

Kind Caring in a Difficult Situation Things did not turn out well for our very sick kitty, but the vets and staff at Pet Emergency were kind and caring in helping him, and me. Thank goodness they were there, on a Sunday morning. By the way, the map on this site (at least at this moment) is incorrect. This vet office is just south of I-8, between the freeway and Grossmont Blvd. in a small plaza called "Jackson Square" on the west side of Jackson Drive. The map is showing an old freeway off-ramp there, which was taken out year... read more

Dr. Rosenberg is the greatest!! I took my little finch in thinking she would have to be put to sleep due to a badly broken leg. Dr. Rosenberg fixed her up, gave her a shot of antibiotics and charged me VERY little. I was moved to tears and my grandson called it a miracle. I agree! There aren't enough people in this world like the staff of Pet Emergency & Specialty Center. God bless you! I have already recommended them and sent emails to everyone I know that this is the place when the need arises.
