Santa Barbara Animal Hospital

Dr. Alexander and her staff have been wonderful! My husband and I changed veterinarians to Dr. Alexander after receiving bad service from our previous veterinarian. The staff was great in requesting our dogs' records be transferred from our old veterinarian to Santa Barbara Animal Hospital, made it seamless for my dogs to become new patients with their office! We are pleased with Santa Barbara Animal Hospital. Our dogs never have to wait more than 10 to 15 minutes to be seen. Our previous veterinarian would have us waiting for hours before our dogs could be seen or treated. Our male Westie Simon, needed a dental cleaning, blood work was needed due to Simon is a senior dog. Once he was cleared, they did an excellent job cleaning his teeth. He no longer has tartar built up on his back teeth

Very expensive and dirty but the worste part is the vet seemed absolutely miserable. I asked questions and was given the most dull, short responses. I was charged full price for an examination on my dog yet she hardly took 2 min to look at her. You would think when you pay for an exam that the vet would actually examine the dog. Nope not here. We got the bare minimum all around and I won't be going back to this place.

I called on a Saturday with concerns for my cat. They had an opening, got me in right away. The staff was very polite and the vet got my cat back to his old self within hours. I appreciate how they treated me and my cat especially on a Saturday so close to closing time.

I continue to have good experiences now with my two cats and my dog that is currently receiving physical therapy. My dog is doing great, it’s obvious he is getting stronger. The Vet technician is the best! He understands animal behavior, he has a very calm approach and I couldn’t be happier with the service there. I took Ren in to have a cast made, I ended up paying much less than what was quoted , he was cooperative and they were able to get it done with a minor sedative. I trust them not to overcharge me. My dog is obviously comfortable with the staff so I’ll continue to take my animals to them. I’m happy with their care.

I recently took my dog, Limón here for an ear infection, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The staff was friendly and attentive from the moment we walked in, and the veterinarian was thorough in examining Limón. The assistant, I believe her name was Gretel, explained the treatment plan clearly and provided me with helpful tips for care at home. Within a week, Limón's ear infection had cleared up completely. I’m grateful for their expertise and the care they showed to Limón. Highly recommend this vet for their excellent service and compassionate care!
