One Saturday morning our little puppy got sick.We called everywhere and were unable to get an appointment. Even the Vet Emergency Rooms were at capacity and wouldn't see our puppy.Tierrasanta Veterinary Hospital made an exception and saw our puppy right away without an appointment.They have been kind, patient, and much more affordable than other vets we've visited.They are now our go to vet and we're so happy to have found them.

The Dr and Staff are top notch. They take the time to explain any questions. They care and are so respectful. After a few unpleasant experiences trying to establish vet care in San Diego, after a military cross country move, I read a military spouse post on this establishment. I couldn’t be more grateful. We had a unique situation with our dog and it went from being stressful to knowing we were in good hands. This establishment is the vet care you want at a very affordable price.

    I have been an animal enthusiast since I was a little kid, so its no wonder that I landed in this career. I have been a member of the TVH team for 3 years now, and have grown fond of the relationships I've built with clients and patients alike. I am currently attending college to further my vet med career and obtain my RVT license. Outside of work I spend my time training dogs and participating in canine competitions. At home I have a variety of pets including a Pitbull, Shar-Pei, two Guinea-pigs, a gecko, a tortoise, and multiple fish tanks.

Over the course of my years at the hospital, I have worn many hats and had many titles. I am proud to say that I have been able to help many, many animals and clients over the years and I hope to help many more in the future.

Testimonials

  • The environment was so welcoming. It was great having oil diffusers that had essential oils that are known to aid in pet stress.

    - Shadi
  • Everyone took such great care of me and my little dog. They were so loving and caring. I have definitely found my new vet!

    - Angelica
  • As always, our recent experience was great. The doctor and all of the staff treat us like family and both our dogs feel very comfortable there. Well, mostly comfortable. They always look forward to going to the doctor, though. They know there will be love and treats and very little hurt, if any. I love Tierrasanta Veterinary Hospital!

  • I really liked this place because they thoroughly examined my dog and when they found out that she needed oral surgery the vet explained everything in detail and was very kind and supportive throughout the whole process and the staff even called several times to let me know how my dog was doing and how well the surgery went. Overall, I highly recommend this place
