catlover To the person who wrote the last offensive remark, Dr Zeicu, the prior vet at Santee Pet Hospital, passed away unexpectedly in December. Dr Zeicu was on duty 365 days a year, including Sundays and holidays, until his unfortunate passing. The staff at SPH got a new vet on board ASAP - HAVE A HEART!

Santee Pet Hospital is a caring place! Dr.Zeicu has always been extremely caring toward our pets. It says a lot about a vet who really takes the time to gently talk to an animal to put them at ease, His surgeries are the best we've seen, with minimal recup time and quick healing. The prices are comparable or a little less than other vets.

always a positive experience We have always had extremely good service at Santee Pet. In fact, even after moving over 20 minutes away, we continue to bring our dogs there. The doctor is always caring, and the support staff is helpful. Prices are reasonable, and we know we count on them in an emergency!

We love Dr. Zeicu! We have been going to Santee Pet Hospital since we moved to Santee in 1994. We love Dr. Zeicu, who truly loves animals and is wonderful to our children, as well. It's true that this isn't a state-of-the-art facility, but we appreciate that he understands that we're treating animals and that sometimes the best course of action isn't drastic and/or expensive. Instead of recommending a battery of tests, he's more likely to do an exam and recommend observation, thereby saving a great deal of money. He doesn't ... read more

Class A vet I read the reviews of other pet owners and think that some of them must be posting on the wrong site. Dr. Pavel has been our vet for over 20 years, while the receptionists have sometimes been a little rude I have never had bad service there. Dr. Pavel won't try to talk you into saving an animal that does not have a good quality of life in front of it and he won't tack on needless procedures or medications. He calls our pets "babies" and that is the way he treats them, as loving and loved members of our family. Th... read more

Life-saver many times over I have been going to Santee Pet Hospetal for 10 years and have found them caring and professional without charging an arm and leg to help sick animals. I have only been able to continue rescue because of their prices and help. This vet comes in on weekends and holidays to serve the community. For many years he didn't charge what other vets around San Diego did, and was very under priced. Office visits and stool checks were free for a very long time. I just hope to god he doesn't retire!

Very caring vet Sure, the hospital is basic but you're there for the veterinarian. This vet will not have you spend thousands of dollars trying to save an animal that is near the end of his life. He doesn't want to put animals through months of chemo or operations when their quality of life is no longer there. If you have the same mindset then this is the veterinarian for you. He will not do unnecessary operations and I have never experienced being over charged. In fact, my animals have been given care many times and have on... read more

Really Nice Doctor, Open 7 days a week This isn't the most high tech Vet. They don't even have computers. I have been very happy with my experiences here. One time the doctor only charged me for the medicine and not the examination. Great place to go for fast and basic Veterinary care.
