Carpinteria Veterinary Hospital
Carpinteria, California
General Info
The Animal Medical Clinic is a full service, small animal hospital located in Shepard Place Shops in Carpinteria, California. Our goal is to provide top quality, "Big City" medical services, with a friendly, "Small Town" feel. As our logo suggests, we view our clients as our neighbors, and try to treat them that way.
Dr. Smith has 20 years of clinical experience and is the only doctor at our practice. You will always be assured of seeing the same veterinarian at each visit, who will know both you and your pet. In addition, Dr. Smith makes himself available for after hours emergency consultations and can even make house calls when the situation warrants it.
We offer diagnosis and treatment in all areas of medicine including dermatology, internal medicine, surgery, dentistry, nutrition, geriatric care and well pet services. We are experts in flea control and offer the best and safest products. We can also help you with any behavioral problems you may be experiencing with your pet.
Medically, our focus is on preventative medicine and client education. Our role is to assist you in maintaining your pets good health throughout all the stages of their life . When problems occur, we believe that our patients are the ones who heal, and our job is to create the best environment and circumstances for that healing to occur. We practice traditional, science based medicine, but do refer to, and work with, alternative practitioners when appropriate.
Feel free to stop by our hospital for a visit during our regular hours. You will always be met with a smile and a friendly face!

I have had to take my Dad's dog in quite a bit in the last year and they are so kind and good with him.. from major problems to day care for a few hours they are wonderful. He actually is excited when we pull up. I will never take him or any other pets to someone else.

My family was camping in Carpinteria and my 10 year-old yorkie woke up with her left eye swollen shut. I cleaned her eye the best I could and turned to Google to find a veterinarian nearby. When I called the Carpinteria Veterinary Hospital the staff was super helpful, and made an effort to work her into the schedule right away. We saw Dr. Maribel Munoz, who was so thorough, and answered all of my questions. I was so impressed with all of the staff, they definitely were happy, helpful, and cared about the animals coming in. Thank you to everyone at CVH for helping my Roxy feel better! We have several dogs that camp with us, and if we ever need a vet we will use their services.

Last Friday I brought in my 2 seven year old cats (brother and sister) as one of them had blood in their urine. I keep the litter box in the tub to keep it away from my dog and the kitties will occasionally pee in the tub itself rather than their box. I did not know which of my 2 cats had the problem. Dr Laura Putnam examined the male (Mercury) first and as they were about to take him to the back for a urine test, Mercury peed on the exam table. It was immediately clear that he was the one with the problem. Dr Putnam took Mercury back for an ultrasound. She soon returned with Mercury and a picture of a stone in his bladder. We discussed options and soon decided that surgery was the only option to consider. Dr. Putnam commented on the fact that she was now glad she had brought her lunch today as she would do the necessary surgery on her lunch hour as waiting until next week to fit him into the surgery schedule would just not do. I picked Mercury up the next day and he has been a happy kitty ever since. This had been my first visit to this pet hospital, however I had heard great things about them in person and checked all the reviews online. I have no hesitation to recommend these great caring folks to anyone with animals in their family.
