After a medical tragedy with one of our dogs, we became very picky who we took our dogs to. So picky, that we hadn't seen a regular vet in over 5 yrs. I am medically savvy enough to know when an ordered test doesn't seem right, or if treatment might not be going in the right direction. I have no problem saying, "No, I don't think we should do that test," and then to give the reason why. I know what questions to ask, and what to look out for. My litmus test for a vet, is how comfortable they felt being questioned, how they handled being questioned, and if they gave good reasons for their decisions. I know this has made many vets uncomfortable. And that's fine - it just means they are not going to be our vet. So this is where Dr.Woods comes in. I felt an odd lump on our dog's chest. CAH&WC had good yelp reviews, so decided to check them out. Turned out my dog had another mass. One I did not know about. It was a splenic mass. When she noted this, I knew this was not going to be good. Dr. Woods communicated the possibilities and options. None were good. But, sadly, I knew she was spot on.My dog could not be saved, but it wasn't due to lack of care from Dr.Woods. Without asking, she went above and beyond what we expected her to do. She more than met our high standards for empathy (for the animal AND owners), intelligence, and skill. And oh, another big point - it was the first vet clinic my extremely wary 13 y/o dog didn't have a problem coming back to. IE No fear. - that alone speaks volumes about this clinic.

We have been so happy with Cardiff Animal Hospital since Dr Woods took over! She immediately reviewed and lowered many of the prices to make good care of your pet affordable. She has taken great care of my dog using a combination of holistic and western medicine. Dr Woods always takes the time to understand the problem and she provides treatment options in a cost conscious way. The staff is always friendly and take great care of my dog. I highly recommend Dr Woods and Cardiff Animal hospital!

I can't say enough good things about Cardiff Animal Hospital and Dr. Woods. I adopted my kitty almost a year ago now. She came with quite a few emotional issues and eventually she started having recurring urinary tract issues last year. I initially took her to All Pets in Encinitas. They were nice enough, but couldn't seem to figure out what was wrong with my cat and assumed it was an emotional problem. Her issues wouldn't go away and I was starting to get stressed out by not only the issues my cat was having, but the cost of having to go back to the vet each time and not finding any solutions.I came across the Wellness Plan at Cardiff Animal Hospital online and decided to give it a shot. I wanted to take her somewhere more holistic where we could see if any diet or supplement changes could help her. My first appointment was a full two hours! Dr. Woods spent so much time talking to me and checking out my kitty. It felt much more intimate, not rushed, plus Dr. Woods seemed much more knowledgeable than the vets I had met at All Pets.We were finally able to figure out that my cat did indeed have a uti, plus kidney disease :( Dr. Woods put her on the correct antibiotics and most of her issues have gone away. I'm so thankful to Dr. Woods and the helpful staff at Cardiff. I've brought my cat back a couple of times since and she still receives ample attention from Dr. Woods each time. Such a relief to have found Cardiff Animal Hospital!

Cardiff animal hospital and wellness center is an exceptional facility with exceptional staff. Dr. Woods and her staff clearly care for their patients. My kitten received routine vaccinations and the following day they contacted me to see if she was doing OK. I never felt pressured to do more than what I was comfortable doing at that time. EV and I look forward to going back. Well, at least I do since I'm not the one getting shots or may go back.

After visiting a terribly condescending veterinarian in San Francisco, it was a welcome change meeting Dr. Woods and her friendly team when I moved to Cardiff. The atmosphere still had the famously laid back Cardiff vibe but my cat's examination was very thorough and professional. When I wasn't able to pick up my cat following his dental cleaning because of my work schedule, they offered to board him overnight at no cost. My cat and I will certainly continue to visit Cardiff Animal Hospital.

We had a better than extraordinary experience with Cardiff Animal Hospital. Dr. Woods and the entire staff were very attentive to the needs of our dog, who was run over by a tree-trimming truck and trailer. We were at the hospital within 10 minutes of the incident and they took our dog in immediately and performed a thorough check and assessment, leading to a hip fracture operation. They took excellent around-the-clock care of her and gave us excellent follow-up instructions for treatment. We were in from out of town so they also conversed with our local vet on ongoing care.
Overall, their communication with us was what I'm most appreciative of as they gave us a much needed level of comfort through a horrific incident. I would highly recommend Dr. Woods and the staff at Cardiff Animal Hospital.

The treats didn't hurt I'm sure.As for human treatment, the nurses and vet were informative, sweet and helpful. There are separate entrances for dogs and cats, which is nice. My dog also really hates being in a small area with other dogs, so they quickly put us back into an exam room, no hassle! They explained all of the charges and procedures and took a genuine interest in my pups health. I hope I don't have to come back soon, but if I do, I'm very comfortable bringing my little girl here.

I had a good experience at the Cardiff Animal Hospital last week. The vet, tech and receptionist couldn't have been more friendly and welcoming. At the end of our visit, I had a few questions about rattlesnake bites and Dr. Woods went into detail with me about the different options available for treatment and prevention. At our previous vet, I often felt coaxed into getting additional treatments for my dog, and this was not the case with Dr. Woods. I felt she gave me honest advice which I greatly appreciated.

This is our first time having a puppy of our own. When searching for a vet, we wanted someone that would take the time to educate us and care about our little guy just like we do. Dr Woods is just that. She explained everything we should do in the initial months, and assured us she'd be there to help. We are blown away by her compassion as she met us on Sunday morning bc we found some blood in his stool. Within minutes we had a response, and 30 min later met her at the clinic to drop off a sample and pick up meds. We're so beyond thankful for her already. Everyone at the clinic was so sweet, it smelled great and was super clean. Disco (our pup) was so comfortable the entire time! Happy to say we found our vet for life.

Absolutely excellent experience. Professional, friendly, knowledgeable and animal loving.
My pup is a 16 month extremely energetic people loving other dog disliking female European German Shepherd Dog.
My pup was due for her DHPL, Rabies and Bordetella. I prefer oral or injected Bordetella and the office accommodated my request. We discussed the goals in place for my pup.
Dr. Woods took time with us, was patient, and was able to discuss topics at an extremely knowledgeable level. My pup was able to lie down and relax as we discussed goals, strategies, trainer/breeder's advice, future work roles. This is unusual as my pup typically remains animated when around people and definitely does not lie down and relax - as a rule. I consider this a positive on the part of Dr. Woods.
The Vet techs and the front desk staff were kind, professional and helpful.
The Vet techs were great about the shots and the blood pull. They spent some time with her after the shots so she would not automatically associate the techs with shots. I do not want her to dislike the vet.
The office worked with me to get my pup into an office without encountering a face off with other canines. (My pup is not a dog biter or killer, she just does not like other dogs and lets them know to stay away - loudly and in their face. She does not bite though.)
I love the fact the hours have been extended and that I can access help after hours if needed.
Excellent experience.

My cat has had bladder issues for a few years now and I've been to 3 different vets to look at the problem. I'm usually extremely hesitant to bring him because I've had some very negative experiences with Vets in the past.
Cardiff animal hospital is a breathe of fresh air. Located in our little surf town of Cardiff by the Sea, the energy of the people working here embodies the energy of the location. Friendly staffed, patient and smiling.
Dr. Woods always greets you with a smile and (at least in my opinion) really cares for the animals that step through the doors and goes out of her way to make you and them feel comfortable.
I was very concerned for my 'little' guy, but being with the doc, plus follow up calls made me feel much more relaxed about the process and I'm extremely grateful that clinic is right down the road from our house.
Thanks for all you do for our family members!

I had heard that Cardiff Animal Hospital had a change in ownership this past April, so I didn’t know what to expect during my first visit with the new doctor and staff, but I was pleasantly surprised!
The new vet, Dr. Woods, was fantastic! She was very friendly, and took the time to really listen to my concerns. She was very thorough, and I appreciated that she explained everything so that I really understood her recommendations and plan.
I could tell that she really cared about the well being of Lucy, and even though I couldn’t afford to do everything, she seemed to understand and never made me feel bad or guilty about it (as has happen with the previous vets I have taken my pets to).
The staff was also incredibly friendly and helpful, from the moment we walked in the door! They even called the next day to make sure that Lucy was doing better, and to ask if I had any questions.
I wish I had met Dr. Woods many years ago with my last two dogs, but at least I know now that my dog Lucy is in good hands!

Dr. Woods & the staff are so friendly, competent, & their prices are about average, as expected. Although our dog was Dx w/cancer in his bladder & prostate, Dr. Woods took the time to thoroughly discuss all tests, options...all the while being sensitive, kind, & never upsold me on additional, pricier services. It was already a costly visit, but reasonable considering everything done to be thorough. IMHO: get pet insurance! We've come to Cardiff Animal hospital for 11 yrs with all our pets & have always been pleased w/the quality of services, cost, & great staff! We've been to other vets, & nothing has compared to here. This will be our 2nd dog to put down here, but wouldn't take Chili anywhere else.

I had a good experience at the Cardiff Animal Hospital last week. The vet, tech and receptionist couldn't have been more friendly and welcoming. At the end of our visit, I had a few questions about rattlesnake bites and Dr. Woods went into detail with me about the different options available for treatment and prevention. At our previous vet, I often felt coaxed into getting additional treatments for my dog, and this was not the case with Dr. Woods. I felt she gave me honest advice which I greatly appreciated.

This is our first time having a puppy of our own. When searching for a vet, we wanted someone that would take the time to educate us and care about our little guy just like we do. Dr Woods is just that. She explained everything we should do in the initial months, and assured us she'd be there to help. We are blown away by her compassion as she met us on Sunday morning bc we found some blood in his stool. Within minutes we had a response, and 30 min later met her at the clinic to drop off a sample and pick up meds. We're so beyond thankful for her already. Everyone at the clinic was so sweet, it smelled great and was super clean. Disco (our pup) was so comfortable the entire time! Happy to say we found our vet for life.

Absolutely excellent experience. Professional, friendly, knowledgeable and animal loving.
My pup is a 16 month extremely energetic people loving other dog disliking female European German Shepherd Dog.
My pup was due for her DHPL, Rabies and Bordetella. I prefer oral or injected Bordetella and the office accommodated my request. We discussed the goals in place for my pup.
Dr. Woods took time with us, was patient, and was able to discuss topics at an extremely knowledgeable level. My pup was able to lie down and relax as we discussed goals, strategies, trainer/breeder's advice, future work roles. This is unusual as my pup typically remains animated when around people and definitely does not lie down and relax - as a rule. I consider this a positive on the part of Dr. Woods.
The Vet techs and the front desk staff were kind, professional and helpful.
The Vet techs were great about the shots and the blood pull. They spent some time with her after the shots so she would not automatically associate the techs with shots. I do not want her to dislike the vet.
The office worked with me to get my pup into an office without encountering a face off with other canines. (My pup is not a dog biter or killer, she just does not like other dogs and lets them know to stay away - loudly and in their face. She does not bite though.)
I love the fact the hours have been extended and that I can access help after hours if needed.
Excellent experience.

My cat has had bladder issues for a few years now and I've been to 3 different vets to look at the problem. I'm usually extremely hesitant to bring him because I've had some very negative experiences with Vets in the past.
Cardiff animal hospital is a breathe of fresh air. Located in our little surf town of Cardiff by the Sea, the energy of the people working here embodies the energy of the location. Friendly staffed, patient and smiling.
Dr. Woods always greets you with a smile and (at least in my opinion) really cares for the animals that step through the doors and goes out of her way to make you and them feel comfortable.
I was very concerned for my 'little' guy, but being with the doc, plus follow up calls made me feel much more relaxed about the process and I'm extremely grateful that clinic is right down the road from our house.
Thanks for all you do for our family members!

I had heard that Cardiff Animal Hospital had a change in ownership this past April, so I didn’t know what to expect during my first visit with the new doctor and staff, but I was pleasantly surprised!
The new vet, Dr. Woods, was fantastic! She was very friendly, and took the time to really listen to my concerns. She was very thorough, and I appreciated that she explained everything so that I really understood her recommendations and plan.
I could tell that she really cared about the well being of Lucy, and even though I couldn’t afford to do everything, she seemed to understand and never made me feel bad or guilty about it (as has happen with the previous vets I have taken my pets to).
The staff was also incredibly friendly and helpful, from the moment we walked in the door! They even called the next day to make sure that Lucy was doing better, and to ask if I had any questions.
I wish I had met Dr. Woods many years ago with my last two dogs, but at least I know now that my dog Lucy is in good hands!

Dr. Woods & the staff are so friendly, competent, & their prices are about average, as expected. Although our dog was Dx w/cancer in his bladder & prostate, Dr. Woods took the time to thoroughly discuss all tests, options...all the while being sensitive, kind, & never upsold me on additional, pricier services. It was already a costly visit, but reasonable considering everything done to be thorough. IMHO: get pet insurance! We've come to Cardiff Animal hospital for 11 yrs with all our pets & have always been pleased w/the quality of services, cost, & great staff! We've been to other vets, & nothing has compared to here. This will be our 2nd dog to put down here, but wouldn't take Chili anywhere else.
