Many of the services our vets offer, such as dental cleanings and tumor removal surgeries, are often a fraction of the price you would pay in San Diego.

*The medication delivery fee varies depending on how long it takes to source the medication from the vet or pharmacy. For example, non-urgent medication deliveries can be planned without alterations to routes and will often be charged at the $25 rate, while urgent deliveries might require special trips, resulting in a delivery fee closer to $40.
