We are leaving Shadowridge vet because they have recently gone greatly downhill. We came to the vet with our chihuahua who had recently developed skin issues, including bumps on his skin that seemed like some sort of allergic reaction. The vet charged us nearly $200 and sent us away to pick up children's benadryl with a follow up date for two weeks later. At the time, he said if the bumps didn't go away he would biopsy one of them to check for cancer or other infections. Fast forward two weeks and the bumps had not gone away... read more

I highly recommend VEG in Encinitas for emergency pet care. They allow you to be with your pet the entire time and all the staff are knowledgeable, organized and caring and took great care to ensure tgat both my pet and I wear well cared for. Special shout out to Dr Teel who performed 1.5 hour major surgery on my labrador retriever and spent the time to walk me through every step of the way.

This was the best pet hospital experience I've ever had. Every staff member was very friendly, explained everything clearly through all the processes, and went the extra mile to make sure my reactive dog was able to comfortably get treatment in a private room. I highly recommend coming here!

Thank you to Dr. Bertuso, Samira, and Kirstin for making our first experience with our new dog at a veterinary hospital so comfortable. We only had our dog from the shelter for about 4 hours, and I think the reason why he did so well was due to the staff that helped us make him comfortable. I can’t recommend this hospital and the compassionate staff that helped us enough. We will be only bringing him here for any ER needs from now on!

From someone that has seen a lot of veterinary centers from working with rescue dogs as well as service dog training I can confidently say that VEG is top notch. What sets them apart from the rest of other vets is unless it’s crucial surgery, the pet parent gets full contact with their animal. This concept’s never been done before at any veterinarian I’ve seen in the past and it really sets them apart! Not only does the animal calm down because he or she is with his handler but the recovery process I’m sure is faster. My dog... read more
