Why Pet Parents Love Us

"EVERYONE here is compassionate and professional. My cat Bella really was comforted by the care she was given here at the Animal Hospital of Soquel. We will always come here! It is always a great experience here. Bella was very scared on the way there but once in the care room she was calmed by the compassion and professionalism of the staff. EVERYONE was gracious and #1 in my book. I will always come here and so will Bella! You all are top notch!"

"We called in for an urgent appointment for our cat who was experiencing increasing pain and we weren't sure what was wrong. They were able to fit us in on a busy Saturday within a couple of hours(for an extra charge). They were able to identify the issue quickly and administer the antibiotics needed. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable at each point of the process. Our cat is doing well now, on the mend. Highly recommend."

By Zachary D.

"I appreciate that this veterinary hospital is open Saturdays. I was able to make an appointment Saturday morning for that afternoon. The staff were very friendly and courteous, and I was seen promptly by the doctor, who was very helpful and had good advice. My cat is very skittish in these circumstances, but the doctor and assistant handled her very well and she remained calm. I would recommend Animal Hospital of Soquel."

Chris S.

"They really took care of us in our time of need! From squeezing us in to their day to performing an urgent surgery on my dog late on a Friday at a reasonable cost, our experience has been fantastic! So grateful to Dr. Evans and the whole team."

Paige B.

"I felt so cared for by the staff here, friendly and attentive. I especially love the vet (can’t remember her name at the moment), she is so kind and loving, you can tell she really loves and cares about each animal. I would definitely recommend this animal hospital."
