Testimonials

Thank you so much for taking great care of Marmalade during her emergency.  We are so appreciative to everyone at the hospital for their kindness and caring and we are very grateful to Dr. Harris for maneuvering her day to care for Marmalade!  Everyone is so wonderful and took excellent care of Marmalade.  This is a fantastic hospital and we were so touched to see how much everyone cares!  Thank you!  Marmalade has recovered very well and she is back to her favorite activity of watching birds with her siblings!

~Jonathan, Kerri and Marmalade

Thank you all of you so much for everything you have done for us and Zach.  We searched for years for a vet that we loved and trusted.  I know how you know how much we loved our Zach, and everyone know their dog is special, but Zach seemed to have this special personality that really brought out the love in everyone he met.  We feel that you all felt that too, and we are happy that his life in some way touched yours. 

We appreciate more than words can say the kindness and the caring with which you treated us all through these last months of Zach’s beautiful life, and the time you always took to respectfully listen to us, kindly explain things to us, and generously support us in this journey.  You are a special bunch.

~Kim & Frank P.

We knew we found special people who truly cared about their animals when we found you.  We just didn’t realize how important it would be until we had to make the hardest decision about our sweet Sacha.  We could see she touched your lives as she did so many others.  I’m not sure we could have made the right decision without your understanding and support.  Thank you for that.  They say grief is the price we pay for love, but Sacha was worth any day of our on-going grief and thank you all for making it a little more bearable.

-Larry & JoAnne R.

We were so fortunate to have found you and to have trusted Pedro to your care.  We cannot thank you enough for all your love and care for him.  We will always remember the skill and kindness you brought to his care and most of all the interest you showed in him.  It was such a comfort that it was his friends at the San Diego Pet Hospital who attended him at the last.  You made us feel like part of the family.  We will be forever grateful.  Pedro was special and so are you all.

Our sincerest heartfelt thanks,

Thank you all so very much for your donation in Harrison’s memory to the Companion Animal Memorial Fund at UC Davis.  You met Harrison at the end of his life when he was in pain & yet he was such a sweet old guy who even at the end enjoyed life and sniffing his way through it.  As a young boy he sniffed and ran through life as only a bassett does.  Always a kind & gentle soul.  Thanks for taking such good care of him.

Words cannot express how our family feels over the sensitive, tender, loving treatment we received from all of you when it was time to say good-bye to our beloved 17 year old cat, Stuart.  We will always cherish the time we spent with him in the very peaceful  Star Memorial Garden.  You truly eased a very difficult time.  Although Stuart was never one of your more cooperative patients, we know he appreciated your kindness and compassion that day.

You all are so wonderfully thoughtful and made Mr. Boo’s transition easier on me.  I am grateful to you.  I still miss my little guy.  People keep encouraging me to rescue a new dog, maybe.  You’ll be the first to know when I do.  Thank you,

-David

-The Thurmans

Thank you for all you do.  You made the passing of a family member as painless as possible.  It really meant the world to my siblings and myself that Jaja received the funeral she deserved.  Jaja gave us almost 7 years of love, happiness, and joy.  She was one of a kind and such a loving and good dog.  She was more than a pet to us.  She was part of our family.  I wish all veterinarians were like you.  Jaja truly enriched and made a difference in our lives and you allowed her to leave this earth with peace and respect.  Jaja’s death was not in vain.  My siblings and I will ensure that all of our pets are cared for and spayed or neutered.  Thank you so much.  Words cannot express my immense gratitude for your understanding and compassion. Thank you for helping Jaja!  I know she would want to thank you as well.  Much appreciation & gratitude,

-Tina Tom

Thank you to all of you for your TLC for “Kammy”.  With great appreciation,

-Bret & Ruthie Felix

Thanks for going the extra mile!  We appreciate you!

-Andrea, Jazmin & Winston

Don’t waste you time shopping for a new vet, this is the place.  Our family recently relocated to San Diego and we were referred to San Diego Pet Hospital by a pet store owner.  It was apparent from the moment we entered the clinic, the warm staff and Dr. Lisa truly love their clientele and their work.  Quality care, compassionate service and reasonable pricing are all equally important when it comes to our pets, SDPH understands this.  It is a refreshing change to find a business with such old fashioned values, where there are no “hidden costs” or “misunderstandings” when you pick up your pet.

We happily recommend San Diego Pet Hospital.

-Bob L.

Thank you for your kindness to “Our Merry” last Tuesday.  I’ve enjoyed knowing you through the years.  I’m sure you know Merry was one of the loves in my life.  Take care and keep well.

-Ester Thurman

I love this place.  Dr. Lisa is the most fun, caring and knowledgeable veterinarian that we have taken our dogs to.  She is not only great with the animals you bring in, but she is also great at taking time to explain everything to the owners too.

This place is a one stop shop.  We take our dogs there for veterinarian needs, grooming and kenneling.  The staff is so good with the animals and friendly, we take our dogs here for all their needs.

-Mickie W.

Dr. Lisa is fabulous!!  She is not only skilled with the animals, she’s also great with the owners too.  She takes time to explain things thoroughly.  She also doesn’t rip you off on over priced procedures, unnecessary tests or try to upsell you on product.  Her pricing is very reasonable and they will always give you a written estimate.  She’s very good at diagnosing problems and teaching owners how to care for their pet.

The staff is great too.  Very friendly & knowledgable.  The office is nice & sunny & cheerful.  All in all a great experience and now take all my animals to Dr. Lisa.

-Ella G

I’ve been a cutomer of the San Diego Pet Hospital for over 20 years after Michael Clark, DVM inherited the practice from his father.  Michael Clark was one of the best veterinarians I had ever taken my pets to and I stuck with him all those years.  After he passed away Dr. Lisa purchased his practice from his estate.  I like her as much as I liked and respected Michael Clark.  In fact, I like her even more.

-Fred
