Pets deserve the very best care and South Bay Veterinary Hospital offers it seven days a week. Our AAHA-accredited animal hospital has long been offering the very best in animal care – since 1956 – with a full-service animal vet clinic serving the San Diego community. The knowledgeable and compassionate staff at our Chula Vista veterinary hospital includes five veterinarians, a team of experienced nurses and veterinary technicians,a dog groomer, and managers that ensure our animal hospital’s administration runs as smoothly as our animal visits.
Our South Bay animal vet clinic has an open hospital policy, which allows pet owners to be with pets whenever possible. This applies to all pets we see, which includes dogs, cats, rabbits, and small mammal pocket pets, such as rats, hamsters, gerbils, and mice. Our advanced facilities accommodate pets from the largest canines to the smallest rodents. Our animal hospital is equipped with a surgical suite, radiology facility, laboratory, pet boarding facility, dog groomer services, an in-house pharmacy and intensive care unit: facilities that allow pet owners to make one stop for all aspects of their pets’ medical care.
Even our veterinary hospitals' routine care goes beyond with our vast and knowledgeable staff and top-notch animal hospital doctors. Standard services include annual examinations from our experienced veterinarians, spay and neuter surgeries, pet vaccinations, pet grooming and pet boarding. We have dog groomers on staff. Also our veterinarians are experienced in veterinary dentistry cleaning dogs’ teeth and providing other pet dental services. Our animal vet clinic features an in-house pharmacy to quickly and easily fill pets’ prescription needs as well as select over-the-counter medications.
Emergency care and urgent care is as big a priority to us as it is to pet owners. Because our animal clinic is open seven days each week, we always have a skilled veterinarian and trained personnel on duty during regular hours to quickly tend to unexpected emergencies. Walk-ins are welcome, although pet owners can call in advance so our animal vet clinic staff can advise on the best plan of action for each particular emergency and prepare our vet team for pet’s arrival.
Pets often require urgent care for conditions that are not life-threatening but still cannot wait until the next scheduled appointment. We do our best to accommodate such situations and try to find time for our veterinarians to examine the pet in between scheduled appointments.
Because our Chula Vista veterinary hospitals want to make a visit to the vet as convenient and pleasant as possible, we also offer online appointment requests which take away the hassle of lengthy phone calls. Simply send us a request and our veterinary hospital staff will call back to confirm the date and time.
If you have questions about our services or would like to speak to our staff, please call us at 619-422-6186.
