Both my pet trainer and my neighbor recommended Dr. Sevier at Town & Country, and they were right. He has a common sense approach and did not give my pet unnecessary drugs and tests. The meds that he did prescribe were just the thing and fixed my pet's problem. He took the time to explain the problem and the possible solutions so that I could make an intelligent choice. My whole family now brings their pets to Dr. Sevier and they are so happy with him and his staff. Read Less

I love this place. We have been taking all of our pets here for the last 17 years. Dr Sevier is "old school" and won't "sell" you anything, that's not in the best interest of your pet. We've put down 3 fur babies and they were so compassionate and understanding for every single of those events. Read Less

What an amazing place! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, the Dr. is perfect. He has a great manor with the animals and takes time to explain everything to you. What also makes this place great is they don’t push or try to “sell” services to you and prices are reasonable… actually exceptional based on the service you receive. It is hand down better than the VCA down the street. I would highly recommend it. Read Less

We are thankful to the entire staff and Dr. Sevier for taking care of our dog, Ollie. They were thoughtful, caring, and tried everything they could to save our dog. Dr. Sevier was always available to describe the situation. We dearly wish Ollie had survived, but we have no regrets or concerns about the care he received. Read Less

Been bringing my dogs here since the 90s. They are great and will treat your pets with respect. They have a great 'puppy package' too(one payment up front gets all your poochs' shots, flea meds and heart guard for basically the first 6 months). Dr Seaver is the best! Read Less

The doctor is ok but his front staff should stay home , some of them are sooo rude. I wish I could remember the name of this one lady who answers the phone like she's miserable. I know her voice, is on their answering machine Read Less

I began my career at a Vet Tech, and can recognize a quality veterinary hospital when I see one. It isn't ultra modern, but the best feature by far is a highly experienced and quality veterinarian who uses common sense. Dr. Sevier is an excellent clinician, and takes time to explain all the options when making difficult decisions. We have taken four dogs and two cats to Dr. Sevier for 6 years now and absolutely adore him and his staff. Read Less

We've been taking our cats and dog to Town & Country and Dr. Sevier for at least 20 years now. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my furry family members. We've been through  everything from coyote attacks, to being run over by a car, to strokes and blindness among our pets. He's a pro. Sometimes he's blunt, but he's always honest. None of this BS you might  find at other vets to part you from your money. (I won't name names, but check other vet reviews in Chula Vista). I literally fell to my knees when he told me that our cat, who'd been hit by a car, should have her leg amputated. I thought we should put her down, but he talked me out of it. She lived another happy 7 years with only 3 legs and never seemed to notice. Like the vet said, cats aren't like people, they don't look in the mirror and say, "Oh, I'm not beautiful any more!" They adjust better than we do to life's changes. He also brought back another cat of ours, literally, from the dead, after he had a stroke. He lived another 7 years also... though initially blind and deaf, and eventually regained his hearing and sight, so that was awesome. And to the person who complained about the smell? Sorry, that was probably my dog... she's a big weenie and even though the vet has never hurt her she gets scared at the vet and poops in the office. So embarrassing! Read Less

We recently lost our cat Zeke to cancer. Even though saying goodbye to Zeke was incredibly painful, we were blessed to have the compassion of Town & County Animal Hospital in Bonita to help us through that tough time. After Zeke passed, we received a letter from UC Davis notifying us that Dr. Sevier made a donation to their Companion Animal Memorial Fund in Zeke's name. This donation will help keep other families from losing their pets to diseases like the one Zeke had. This donation allowed there to be something positive which came from losing Zeke. If you are looking for a vet in San Diego, call Dr. Sevier! Read Less

This is a great place to take your pets, Dr. Sever is always great with your pets. I have taken four dogs to him since I first started going there. He helped me create a great 4 1/2 years for my last dog that died of diabetes and related conditions. He is very compassionate when the time comes to have to put down your friend and companion. I really believe that the negative reviews are people who never took their pet to this practice. I recommend Town and Country Animal Hospital to anyone who truly love their pet and friend, this is the place to go! Read Less

Stephanie Hamilton's Dog Grooming is the Best ever. She took such good care of Sadie Barker Dog for many years. Stephanie was aware of medical conditions and would alert Dr. Sevier.  She always called to remind us of our appointment. We could go about our business and in one hour she would call for us to pick up our beloved friend.Special Thanks to you Stephanie,Gary and Diane S.Dear Mr. & Mrs. S."Dr. Michael Sevier from Town and Country Animal Hospital recently made a financial donation to the Companion Animal Memorial Fund in memory of Sadie. Having shared much of my life with companion animals and having spent many years caring for those of other people, I wish to express my deepest sympathy to you for your loss."This is a quote from a letter we received from Michael S. Kent, DVM,DACVIM,DACVR. He is the Director at the Center for Companion Animal Health University of California, Davis, School of Veterinary Medicine.Dr. Sevier thank you for your donation and care of Sadie through the years.Sincerely Diane and Gary S.

Never have I been to a place that treated me worse or belittled me more. Right away I got the vibe that the Vet himself didn't have one care for me or my dog, great feeling -- so lets continue. From the get-go he asked how I got my dog and when I tried to be general about how I rescued my dog (to save from having to mention the fact that I rescued him from a meth-lab) the Vet exclaims that I should have checked if he was some one else dog, etc. Great way to start off the visit by accusing me of stealing a pet from someone else without knowing the full story. Then he reviews my dogs history, they look into the fact he had parvo (which in all my research online and listening to stories from co-workers, I was already convinced this dog was gonna die and it scared the living day lights out of me already) he mentions that I shouldn't expect for him to live much longer and that he might just up and die in a few months (BTW, he has survived parvo for a year now to the day!) Not that I'm upset he was being realistic, but everyone and their mothers tell me that he could just up and die and I'm pretty tired of hearing people mention it so insensitively when I just love this little dog so. Next he lectures me on worming my dog and picking ear hairs (the ear hair thing I knew about and I do it when I don't take him to get groomed) he insists that we should worm him just in case even though I mentioned that I was pretty sure I paid for him to be wormed at the shot clinic (which after reviewing my documents later I saw that he was, they had this record and could have checked but apparently they are too money hungry to verify anything). Of course tacks on an UN-necessary fee to my bill to worm him. The visit by the way was simply for a cherry eye that I didn't know anything about that eventually went away after the use of prescribed eye drops. I guess I might be able to thank them for that except for I found the problem to be intermittent, and it wasn't life threatening and probably didn't even need the eye-drops. I was so excited to find a vet close to home but geeze -- I should have known better than to leave the Plaza Blvd Pet Hospital, it is a little bit father away but at this point I see that it was worth it for their service. If you're in Chula Vista then the Southbay Pet Hospital is another great institution. This place is just god awful and I've been to vets that do more to make you feel at home and welcome, people who actually enjoy their jobs and don't treat you like the shitty scum of the earth that this place is.

Dr. Mike is amazing!! He's gentle and kind to both the animals and their humans. I'm always impressed that he never suggests tests or treatments unless he feels it's absolutely necessary which means he doesn't make you pay more than you need to. My dog had a seizure unexpectedly and he took me in right away even though I didn't have an appointment and could see I was shaken. He was kind and patient with all my questions and when I asked if I should do any tests or give her any medicine he was honest and said just see if she has more than bring her back! a lot of vets take advantage of peoples love and emotion for their animals and use that advantage to get major money from people but not Dr. Mike. I came from a vet in Chula Vista who made me pay 150+ for her to biopsy a piece of my dogs skin for mange (which I knew she had I just needed to know what treatment to give her) and it left a big mark on my new puppy's face cuz she took such a big chunk of skin off! I took her to Mike and he said right away "oh no she has mange" and told me how to treat her skin and also how to make sure the biopsy chunk didn't turn into a scar. I could go on and on with more stories of Dr. Mike but it'd get really long so I'll just say this vet deserves 5+++ golden stars! Read Less

My family has been bringing our dogs to Dr. Severe for over 20 years. He is by far the only vet in San Diego that I trust with the health of my dogs. The staff is friendly and Dr. Severe only gives the best advice possible for every given situation. Over the years we have had all 5 of our dogs at Town and Country for their veterinary needs and Dr. Severe shows his care and compassion for every single one of them. When I moved up to Solana Beach there was no question that I would rather drive 30 min to see Dr. Severe than any other vet in San Diego County. - WILL NOT CHARGE YOU FOR NEEDLESS PROCEDURES - Highly Recommended - From Abby, Jake, Baxter, Shelly and Diego Read Less

I have been taking my various "much loved" dogs to Dr Sevier for over 25 years and have ALWAYS  gotten THE BEST medical care/suggestions for each!! His location is convenient, staff are great--Dr Sevier is an honest and EXCELLENT vet--THE KIND WE ALL WANT FOR OUR ANIMALS Read Less

We love Town & Country Animal Hospital!  My mother-in-law has been taking her dogs there for years.  When our Doberman, Rocket got injured, she recommended them to us.  We have never looked back.  Long story short, Dr. Sevier and his staff took great care of the dog and us and always kept our pocketbook in mind.  They were so generous, saving us money wherever they could.  In the end, the dog needed to be put down (for other reasons) and we were so comfortable trusting Dr. Sevier's advice.  Now, we take our new Doberman there and it is always a pleasant experience.  We even convinced my parents to take their 18 year old dog there and they have also loved it there.  They know us, care about our pets and want to do the right thing.  We like the practicality of Dr. Sevier (I never knew how much diluted bleach water solution could be used for with pets!) and always trust him.  They never try to sell you something, and are always looking for the least expensive, practical way of solving problems.  We love this place and wouldn't dream of taking our pets anywhere else! Read Less

this place is awesome... been taking our pets since 2001 and we're on our fourth pet.  Dr. Sevier is "old school" and I love it!  he's honest and at times, painfully honest but won't tell you what you want to hear, but what you need to hear... he won't suggest different things to get money out of you.  He will refer you out if he believes it is best for the animal.  They were very sensitive with our last pet's passings.. they even donate money to an animal organization in your pet's memory..  you don't see that very often.  we are completely satisfied and we worry about Dr. Sevier retiring from his practice because it will be extremely hard to "try" to replace him. Read Less

I have been going to Dr. Sevier at Town & Country Animal Hospital for about 15 years and I have never been disappointed.  He is extremely professional and doesn't overcharge like MANY of the other veterinarians in San Diego.  I know that when I take one of my animal rescues to Town & Country Animal Hospital that Dr. Sevier and his amazing staff will take incredible care of the animal.  I now live in Pacific Beach and I have gone to other vets that live around me and nothing compares to Dr. Sevier so I have no problem driving to Bonita.  My animals deserve the best.  Thanks Town & Country!!

I've been taking my Kitty to this hospital for 4 years; Doctor Sevier is wonderful, very competent, loves animals, and is a pleasure to deal with. The staff are delightful too. I always was able to get a same day appointment and get help for Kitty. Highly recommend them to anybody! Read Less

Dr. Sevier is amazing! He is so gentle and caring, while being very realistic. He doesn't sugarcoat anything, and speaks in a language I can understand! He is not into up-selling on products/services. He has many tips on home remedies and never tries to sell me something my dog doesn't need. He answers all my questions, never makes me feel rushed or stupid and is just so nice. I'm not sure if $45.00 for a visit is a deal, but I don't care. It's worth every penny. The office itself is a bit kitschy and outdated, so don't expect a fab modern facility... but they do have state-of-the-art and advanced medical equipment, which is more important than the office!Also great support staff. When I bring in my little dog, all of the staff recognize her, remember her name, and give her a pet or two. (I'm not in all that often!) They are very accommodating and caring. I would recommend Town and Country Animal Hospital to anyone who cares about their animals. GREAT PLACE!!! Read Less

We needed to find a new vet when we moved back to Bonita..  I tried going back to the old Bonita Pet Hospital but it was not the same..  Rude and they really didn't seem to care.  Town and country was awesome.  I took Mandy in for a Bordatella and a check up..  The doc asked me where I boarded Mandy and I don't..  I always got her this shot because her old vet said she needed it.   So no shot for Mandy..  The doc was caring and spent time with me talking about how Mandy could lose some lbs..  He is Mandy's new vet.

Dr. Sevier has been our vet since I can remember. We took all our animals to him while I was growing up and once I moved out and had pets of my own I continued to take to Dr. Sevier regardless of where in San Diego I lived. It was worth the drive to know my pets would be seen by a doctor who was very compassionate, knowledgeable and genuinely cares about the quality of life of all animals. We have had pets over the years with medical problems from a degenerative spine to thyroid issues. We had a puppy with Parvo and a little of puppies abandoned by their mother. Dr. Sevier has seen us through it all and the care from both staff and doctor is always amazing.Dr. Sevier always discusses all options and does his best to keep our cost down. He does not jump to fancy tests and expensive remedies without considering more practical solutions first. I trust him 100%.I have recommended Dr. Sevier to many friends and acquaintances who have expressed frustration with their own vets. My friends will tell me they LOVE Dr. Sevier and are happy to have changed. I would recommend Dr. Sevier and his staff to everyone!! Read Less

Being a new dog owner is scary. After doing a bunch of research on Yelp my husband and I decided to try this Veterinarian after a not so pleasing visit at Rolling Hills Pet Hospital. Dr. Sevier was great and really exceeded our expectations. He isn't trying to squeeze pennies out of us for unnecessary treatments or procedures. They take very good care of our baby and that's whats most important to us. Read Less

I'm changing my previous review because today the doctor told me, through his receptionist, that I would have to make an appointment to come in and talk to him about whether my dog needed an appointment and the costs involved. So, in other words, I'd have to pay him just to ask him administrative questions. After ten years, you'd think I'd get more respect!My Previous Review: Dr Sevier has been our vet for seven years now.  He tends to our two rescue dogs. We went to a different vet in Bonita for the first few years we owned our first dog and felt like we didn't get personal service.  So my groomer recommended Town & Country.  I read the review below that was bad and had to laugh.  Pet medical care is not cheap and I have been charged a lot at other vets.  Dr. Sevier has worked with us in the past when funds were low, so I have no complaints in those areas.  Dr. Sevier has saved us money on certain procedures.We've been happy with the care so far. We find the service much more personal at Town and Country.  The staff has always been helpful too.My New Review: I'm editing my review to three stars from five. I've now been with Dr. Sevier for over ten years and today I ordered my 16 YEAR OLD LARGE dog her arthritis medication. I do it in 3-6 month batches because you save money per pill when you buy more. I received 30 days worth from the online pharmacy and discovered that when they contacted Dr. Sevier to renew the prescription, he lowered the number of pills to a 30 day prescription which costs us double without telling us. His reason (according to his receptionist) is that my dog needs blood-work to see if the medication is causing liver failure, etc.  But when I asked that the doctor call me to discuss whether our dog really needed to be brought in for lab work, the receptionist said I'd have to make an appointment to talk to him about the costs! HUH?  In other words, I'd have to pay to talk to him about the cost of treatment and need for an appointment!!! I pointed that out to the receptionist but she insisted that I needed to make an appointment to do this. I take care of my dogs and get them medical care when its needed. We've spent thousands of dollars on our animals, so you think I could get a complimentary phone call from the vet to discuss whether an expensive appointment and blood work is necessary. It pains me to have to leave his practice, but my husband and I discussed it and the only thing we can think of is that he needs the money...otherwise, why not at least call us to discuss it with us?

I just became a new mama to an adorable fuzz ball named Cody.  And like any first time parent, I'm completely clueless, freaking out and worrying I'm going to screw him up when I'm not baby talking his cutesy wutesy little facey wacey.  Unlike most first time parents, I'm very aware of my ignorance.Let's back up.  Over the course of my childhood and teenage years, my family has had several dogs.  But there's nothing like adopting a pet when your brain has fully developed (more or less - jury is still out on that one) and you're knowingly taking on the responsibility of raising an adorable fluff ball and turning him into a well-behaved miniature bear (part Newfoundland?  Check.).  I'm overwhelmed by everything I have to do and learn.Well, almost everything.Luckily for me, it was a no brainer when it came to picking Cody's vet.   We first went to Dr. Sevier about fourteen year's ago on a friend's recommendation.  Ah, pre-Yelp days.  Our first dog had developed cancer and our vet at the time wanted to run him through a ton of painful and expensive treatments.  Dr. Sevier was frank with us - the treatments wouldn't prolong his life by very much (if they even worked) and they would be pain-filled days.   We were welcome to go ahead with them of course, but he leveled with us on the pros and cons.  We liked his frank and honest approach - no money milking mill here!  Dr. Sevier was able to maximize our time with our beloved Pepper via certain shots and pain medications before we had to say goodbye to him several months later.   Our next dog went to Town and Country from the get go.So when I penned "Call vet" in my planner, it was one less thing for me to worry about.  Let's review the awesomeness:-I knew I could ask Dr. Sevier all of my inane questions (which I did) and he would answer them (which he did).  -He has an awesome puppy plan set up which covers all the shots and deworming a puppy needs before he can start socializing with other dogs.  Two less things to worry about!  -The staff is friendly, Cody was completely calm with them AND they think my baby is adorable (which he is - I'm pretty sure one of his ancestors invented puppy eyes).  -Visits are efficient, on schedule and priced fairly.  How often does that happen at a doctor's office???-The office is located right next to the Chula Vista golf course walking path (yeah, it's in Bonita, which doesn't really make sense).  If you want your fully vaccinated puppy/dog to have good associations with the vet's office, take him for a pre or post vet visit romp around the park.  And bring poop bags - don't be THAT owner.If you recently became a pet parent or you think your baby is ready for a second medical opinion, I highly recommend Dr. Sevier.  Doctors and automechanics are two areas of life you don't want to get screwed up (well, that and your eyebrows - they're on your face for everyone to snicker at) and I'm so thankful I can rest easy knowing my Cody is in good hands.

I have had terrible experiences with vets in the past and am happy to say that Town & Country has never disappointed me. I have recommended them to both friends and family all of which have agreed that this is the best vet in san diego. My mom travels all the way from clairemont san diego to Bonita just to see Dr. Sevier. When you find a vet that you trust and that has your pets best interest at heart you stick with 'em. Often times bad vets will try and take advantage of the owners attempting to squeeze every penny out of them, this is not something you will find at Town & Country. Town & Country looks out for the owner and the pet, a precious trait that is rarely found these days. Read Less
