What awesome service provided by the entire team! My daughter's two pet mice were not feeling well and we brought them here on a Tuesday afternoon. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The prices were very reasonable considering this is one of the few places in San Diego that will see exotic animals. Our visit was during the pandemic so check in and consultation was done right from our vehicle. I live about 30 minutes away but the entire experience was well worth the trip. Thank you to the entire team for tending to my ... read more

This place is awesome!!! I went there expecting to pay hundreds for the treatment of my 10 year old Pug. Pleasant experience. The tech came out right away and within 5 minutes I got a call from the Vet telling me that he looked good and gave him his bordatella shot and some antibiotics. Super quick and friendly. Vet was very knowledgeable. Only thing is $62 table fee? 1/2 off for 1st time clients. I guess you get what you pay for!! We'll be back 

Business response:

Thank you so much for your kind compliments. We understand that medical care can be costly and we definitely try to work with clients to provide excellent value for the care we give. We do offer wellness plans also, to help clients save up to 40%, so that may be something that would work well for you. Feel free to give us a call:)

We were one of many humans who got a puppy during the pandemic and were shocked to find that it was nearly impossible to find a vet. We did our initial exam and shots through Thrive Clinics and while we got everything done, it was very impersonal, succinct, and high-volume. We were looking for a vet that would care about our dog and not treat us like a number so we tried Lifetime Animal Care Center when our puppy developed a concerning cough. Not only were they super on top of COVID precautions but they somehow managed to b... read more

Dr. De Souza and her staff have been very kind and considerate to our little Stella and her family. Everyone we've encountered, including our phone contacts, have taken the time to listen to us and be responsive. Thank you for being caring, especially in such busy times. 

Business response:

Thank you for your kind review. It means a lot to our entire staff. We look forward to seeing Stella again soon!

I took my baby girl Blossom here for her 3 mo old shots. I had gone to another vet a week prior and had an awful experience so decided to try this place out. I must say it was 10000X better then the other place I had gone to. The vet techs were polite and very friendly. It sucks having to wait in your car as they take your baby away but they called me up relatively fast. The vet I had was so polite and explained everything and did not pressure me or didn't try to nickel and dime me. I felt like they genuinely cared about my ... read more

I am beyond blown away by the amazing care my dog has received at this office! My dog had an emergency during a grooming appointment and I was sent to Lifetime to get him treated as soon as possible. I had never been to this office before, but they were so accommodating and got him in quickly for an emergency appointment. This is during coronavirus, so I was not able to go in with my dog. The staff came out to speak with me and the doctor called me during his exam. Everyone was so kind and knowledgeable and I really felt hea... read more

This is our third dog we have taken to this Vet over many years. The staff is still friendly, but the philosophy of the establishment has become too dollar oriented. It used to be basic treatment for a common issue. Now there are always multiple tests pushed by the Vet or Tech. Last visit the estimate was for over $500 to get our dog treated for an ear infection (generic drops cleared it up). Unfortunately, we are now shopping for another provider. 

Business response:

Thank you for your feedback, Kevin. As we are an AAHA-accredited practice, our standard of care is required to be very high. We will always offer the best possible care for your pet, regardless of cost, just as human physicians would do. We are then always happy to work with you should you want to decline certain items to remain within a budget. We are always very flexible in providing options for each client. We understand that medical care can be pricey and are constantly working to try to keep costs low. One of the ways w... read more

Where would we be without very intelligent, talented, caring people like Dr. D'Souza, Dr. Hardy and all of their staff at Lifetime Animal Care Center? We have utilized their veterinary services for many years and through many pets. They are the only vets we would trust with our pets. They are compassionate and knowledgeable. Every member of the staff takes the time to know all of the animals and humans that walk through their door. The doctors and staff take a personal interest in our pets. We work together as a team ... read more

So we had been taking our cats to Lifetime for many years with Dr Cole as our go to guy and had an excellent experience with the friendly staff and Dr Cole's expertise was second to none. He did an amazing job removing a lump from our cat Suki's lip which can be a very tricky area. Unfortunately Dr Cole ended up leaving the practice to go out on his own during the Covid-19 pandemic and we wanted to keep him as our Vet. Luckily he was very easy to find on Google and Facebook. Lifetime gets 5 stars for their professionalism an... read more
