Veterinarians in Santa Cruz, CA

I love dr Evans at Soquel vet (next to harbor high and they have a grooming place next door). He's been in our family as a vet for 40 yrs (831) 475-0432

Mountain Vet in Ben Lomond is very affordable

Don't know about affordable, but I take my dog to Harbor Vet. Kerrin Hoban. I have been happy with her.

My friends dog has ongoing demodectic mange. She swears by this recipe ( better than stuff you get at the vet) http://www.earthclinic.com/pets/dog_mange_cure.html

I love Santa Cruz Vet... http://www.santacruzveterinaryhospital.com/ they are super good, love you and your pet and take great care of you.

I like Dr. Gary at Mountain Feed (mountain vet) for affordable. I bathe my dog all the time so he rarely has fleas. But when he does I switch between frontline and advantage alternatting every so often

I love Dr Clay at Chanticleer Vet Hospital

If it is fleas in the house, diatomaceous earth will kill them when dusted in the carpets and on his bed, a great alternative to pesticides. Inexpensive too! Tractor Supply carries it.

Teresa Smelser?

Supposedly this place deals with birds: http://www.animalcarevet.net/, as does http://www.coffeevethospital.com/. They both are about 20 miles away from Shelbyville.

(Dr. Blaylock from the first link has pet chickens. Might be a good sign.)

Dr. Paula LaHue, Del Mar Vet Hosp. in Aptos. I will never forget her extreme kindness/compassion and thoroughness during my Pablo's very lengthy illness. I would ask for her specifically, don't know the other vets in that office. Her husband, Dr. LaHue at Santa Cruz Vet Hosp. is also amazing. I found Del Mar Vet to be reasonably priced.

Always had great experiences with Soquel Animal Hospital. Nice vets, nice staff, not too pushy on stuff, and they always give a follow up call to visits which is a nice touch even if I don't answer the calls half the time:P

soquel creek vet hospital runs a $25 diagnostic coupon in the good times every other week or so, keep an eye open for it to save some money on the visit. Great for checkups or if you think something is wrong. Tests are extra.. The normal visit is $50...

Harbor Vet is amazing, all 3 vets there are great and it's reasonably priced. If you need more serious care, Pacific Veterinary Specialists has everything from surgeons to internists. I've interacted with most of the people there, vets and techs (I worked at a ranch that had many small animals and an owner that didn't skimp on end of life care, *and* I have a special-needs dog) Pac Vet is incredible. They're a little pricier because their vets are all specialists, but the quality of care is unbeatable and they will try to keep the price down/avoid unnecessary expenses. This is also random and may never come in handy, but Opthalmology for Animals in Aptos is another amazing vet (eye specialist). Dr. Gratzek actually diagnosed my (aforementioned special-needs) dog with an incredibly rare presentation of a constellation of auto-immune diseases. And the vet techs there are very kind. My dog hated being in the kennel after his operation so they just let him hang out with them in the office.

I use Ty McConnell. Hes out of Scott's Valley and does house calls. I love him. Great demenor. Doesn't upsell you. Staff is great.

I like west side animal hospital. Really nice. Lived in Santa Cruz my whole life and have not found a vet that does not try to milk. The only guy that doesn’t probably would not be a good vet for an older dog. Good luck!

The other commenter hit the nail on the head. There are none that wont milk you for all it’s worth. They’re great vets but man... you’d think they saw a blank check when I walk in that door. Like a mechanic. “Hey I want get these growths checked.” “For sure, we can run those tests. No problem. But what we’re really looking at is how bad her teeth are. You know the thing she hasn’t had any problems with? Here’s an estimate for $1500 worth of dental work.” That’s barely an embellishment, btw. My advice? Find a vet in San Jose. I’ll ask my wife’s parents who they go to. I remember them being extremely pleased in both price and care provided for their elder chihuahua. Or dress up like a homeless person. I’m convinced there is two different price scales at vets. Those that can pay, and those that can’t.

Yes! Dr. Amelia Zacher travels to various locations in the Bay Area. She did Usi-0 pies dental work. I was very pleased. Explore this website to learn more. http://members.cruzio.com/~jforce/doctors.php

Just moved back to SC last summer... we found Animal Hospital of Soquel. They’ve seen our boy twice and have been so great with him. They’re also open on Sundays!

I have been really happy with Ocean Animal Clinic.

Hi there! I don’t know if you’ve already received the information you needed? But in case you haven’t... Have you tried “Beneath The Redwoods Veterinary Service?” (Local) Good peeps! :) Good Luck!

For regular visits, Felton Vet. For emergencies, Pacific Vet.

Dr. Edens at Chanticleer Veterinary Hospital is awesome — I've got a 7½-month-old puppy that has been seen there multiple times, and they have always taken great care of him :)

Companion on the Westside is incredible

Animal hospital of soquel! (Near harbor high) Fantastic care. The vets really do care about the animals.

Marc Van Every, not sure if I spelled that right though. Mobile vet, totally awesome. My wife and I tried out most every other vet in the area before finding him.

Dr Moreno at Adobe! We followed her from Summit Vet

My family has stuck by Adobe Animal Hospital of Soquel for the last 25 ish years. They always remember our pets and treat them with love and compassion. I really like Dr. Moreno and vet tech Taylor, but they're all lovely.

If you are in the sc mountains Roussopoulos Gary L DVM is the single best vet I have ever been to. He is always friendly and what I like most about his is that he is practical and will listen to your concerns.

We really like Adobe in Soquel across from the hospital.

I like westside animal hospital!

No Jeff Watson need my claws looked out

Tammy Abraham at Harbor Vet. I worked with her for many years and she is a great colleague of my husband's. If you have an emergency, then I obviously recommend my husband (he is at Pacific). Not just because he is awesome at what he does, but because we own a French Bulldog so he knows the breed. Be prepared before you get one. I recommend you get pet insurance.
