On average there are 3 sets of puppy shots needed. They will say they recommend 4 sets at their Saturday clinic. Then our puppy gets an allergic reaction to the vaccinations, when we took the puppy in, they were more concerned about their closing time than the welfare of our pet. We found the Vet Techs unprofessional and will be taking our little girl elsewhere.

We went in today for shots and a bath for my cat. The lady at the front desk was extremely rude and short with us. When a different lady came out with my cat and I asked her some questions she didn't answer my question or seem to care. She just mumbled and went to the back. If these women don't like their job then quit! You have to have good customer service especially for some people who consider their pets to be like their children.

Having four pets, I've been overall happy with the service my pets have received here. However, unfortunately this review is about one of the horrendous receptionist named Taco. He was incredibly unprofessional not even taking down the name I gave him the first time I called. An hour and a half later, he calls back claims that he didn't write the name down and that he can't hear that well. Which is unbelievable. It should take over an hour to look up something and get a refill for my pets medicine. As I tell him that if ther... read more

I just moved to the area and have been trying to find a good vet. Where I moved from they had a non profit low cost vet where no appointment was needed for shots. $10 or less a shot! I loved it... So I know I'm not going to find that out here.. So I decided to try out this vet on a Saturday during their vaccine clinic times. The parking was ok. The place was nice and cold and clean. I did not like the vet tech. He seemed like he didn't know a thing. Which really worried me as I handed off my little 5 pound pup. He also tried... read more

Telegraph Canyon Animal Center is one worst places to take a pet. First, they are ridiculously expensive - expect to get a bill for $400 or $500 for even the simplest things. Second, and most important, is that they refuse to give you a written prescription. California law requires a prescribing veterinarian to offer to give a written prescription to a client so that the client may elect to have the prescription filled by the prescriber or by a pharmacy. Business and Professions Code of the AVMA Sec. 4170, Article 12 Pre... read more

My dog rarely had medical issues so she only came for annual exams. The veterinarian would come in and do the regular scope and physical exam. She would give some recommendations and then say "OK, I'll be right back." FYI she NEVER comes back, so if you have questions/concerns, express them before she leaves the room. The assistant is the one that comes back and gives a bill of all the medicines, labs, etc. that were ordered. You slowly accept the large bill, pay, and leave hoping that the vet knows what they're doing. The ... read more

I give this place 2 stars only because it offers a shot clinic at discounted prices. Low priced shots are great for me! I take my dog to get his shots every 6 months because I take him to daycare. We moved to this area in March and before that Mission Valley, OB and La Mesa. I would make the drive up to a vet a friend recommended in Mira Mesa almost 7 years ago (I know you're thinking well why did I even stray from there...the convenience was the main reason, I moved in across the street!) I love them and after my experi... read more

Today I almost had my one and a half year old dog put to sleep, because a Veterinarian at this place told us there was really nothing we could do for him. My family first started coming to this place after our 100 pound Doberman suffered his first seizure about 8 months ago. At that time Dr. Jordan diagnosed him with Idiopathic Epilepsy but encouraged us not to put him on Phenobarbital unless his seizures became severe. Which they eventually did he was having about 15 cluster seizures once a month. Which was extremely har... read more

WORST Customer Service EVER!!!! Their front desk personnel (Ugly girl with all the pimples) don't respect a paying customer. My boyfriend and I went their yesterday to get shots for his dog. He went in and the front desk (Ugly girl with all the pimples) said "I'll be right with you", so he waited in line for his turn. Another customer entered and the front desk personnel ask to help them right away. So he interupted them and said that he was next in line. The Ugly girl with all the pimples said "Well there is no line"... read more
