Del Mar Veterinary Hospital
Del Mar, California
General Info
Treatment decisions at Del Mar Veterinary Hospital in Del Mar start by observing animal posture: an animal's movement toward caregivers, its corner pivots, or its diagonal stillness determine session progression. Direct approaches to pets remain unattempted without explicit invitation. Staff adjust directionality through the implementation of soft curves combined with slight sideways movement and diagonal body angles. The process diminishes startle reflex while developing orientation trust. Caregivers occupy strategic positions by sitting at right angles which enables animals to focus between zones of comfort and medical attention. Before any tools appear, observers detect complex patterns of blink rates combined with paw arcs and balance shifts. Del Mar Veterinary Hospital delivers complex imaging services alongside early onset detection while managing chronic conditions and providing cardio screening, gastrointestinal alignment, and specialized age-specific care. Access tolerance enables the sequencing of service delivery. Certain animals initiate flank touch before engaging frontal interaction. The response of others improves when instruments are positioned on the floor prior to usage. Discharge routines involve intricate re-orientation techniques: Pet owners learn to guide pets using a calm zigzag motion during walks and understand specific angles for home bandage inspection while setting up bedding to avoid recovery corner-trapping. These tips reduce flight behaviors and help reestablish spatial security once the pet is back in a familiar zone. Del Mar Veterinary Hospital extends its services from Del Mar to every Californian neighborhood by weaving care into the angles spaces and gentle pauses that animals comprehend—transforming treatment from an interruption into an invitation.

Cannot say enough good things about All Creatures. We were referred to Dr Jenna by a friend when we moved from VA to CA. Even though they’re 20 miles away- they’re 100% worth the drive. Our senior partner, Jack the Beagle, is loved on and cared for by everyone at AC.
We had to board Jack for 2 weeks and I swear, he came out in better condition than when we went in.

I wouldn't recommend using this establishment for your animal's care. After the veterinarian made a huge deal about the potential liver toxicity of a medication she was prescribing for my newly adopted kitten, she then proceeded to call in the wrong dose of this medication. She wrote for DOUBLE the dose that should have been given. My husband and I are both physicians so luckily we caught her error. When I brought it to her attention, she started blaming it on the tech who called in the medication rather than just apologizing. If the medication had been given at the dose she'd inadvertently prescribed for the 3 week course - the kitten would have almost certainly had liver failure and died. Appalling.

What a disappointing experience. Have been a dog owner again for the past 9 months and have been happy at All Creatures for several different visits including fixing our beautiful little girl. Sadly, that all changed today.My puppy has Giardia which is evidently an easy fix so they prescribed her 5 days worth of powdered meds. The price of $135 +/- seemed very high so I double checked. They insisted that was the regular price. I decided to call Helen Woodward where we board our beautiful girl when away and they quoted me $40 for the same meds. I then double checked and called a friend who owns the Animal Hospital in Sorrento Valley and they gave me an amount just a bit higher than that at HW.I shared my findings with several people up front at All Creatures and their answer was basically... sorry too bad. They then offered me a prescription so I could to go HW and fill it for $100 less or so. I had hoped they would realize how much they were overcharging and would reduce to a more comparable level but that never happened so I accepted their offer and waited 10 minutes or so for them to write the prescription. Then after 10 minutes and still no prescription in hand, they decided to "threaten me" with the news that HW wouldn't likely accept the prescription anyways without their own evaluation so good luck and tough luck.Needless to say we won't be back at All Creatures.. too bad...nice facility and the people were previously always nice and kind to both my puppy and me and and my girls. Just can't accept a 300% markup and then especially worse the hostile attitude about it when they realized I really was taking the prescription elsewhere. Shame to have a relationship end that way but I guess they probably realized how poorly they had handled the situation.

We have 2 dogs and a cat. All 3 make regular vet visits for check ups, shot, and all sorts of other random issues. (If you've had a rambunctious puppy or two, you understand.) I have never ever had a problem making an appointment and for that I'm very grateful. I love the extended hours and the many doctors and techs who are available. Every doctors and vet tech that we've interacted with has been patient and understanding even with our anxious, timid rescue dog and that always wins bonus points in my book. We've has many shots given, giardia cases treated, a few cuts stitched, teeth cleaned, skin irritations checked... and had good experiences every time.

006 / 100 - 2016 YELP 100 CHALLENGE.My fiance and I adopted a miniature dachshund back in August and my friend (who owns a golden/Irish setter mix) recommended that we take her here. Haven't regretted it since!Everyone here at All Creatures Hospital is incredibly friendly and professional. It's pretty obvious that they love animals and what they do everyday! The wonderful part about this place is that it's open 7 days a week, even on holidays. Awesome!The only reason why I gave this place 4 out of 5 instead of 5 out of 5 is because they can be a little disorganized sometimes. Because my fiance and I both work FT, the usual times we'd be available would be in the evening. We changed the schedule just ONCE (showed up on a holiday and resumed 1-2 weeks later for the next round of shots) and someone hadn't logged which shots Mocha had gotten on her last trip. :( It was a scramble trying to figure out what she had gotten. In addition to that, they couldn't even find us in the database when we showed up that time, even though we had been there 1-2 times before that?Aside from all of that, they truly do care about your pets. Everything is clean, they offer your pet lots of cuddles and affection, and even have jars where you can get your pet some treats to make them feel more at home! I can always trust that Mocha will be in great hands!

I brought my cat to this hospital for issues with constipation. The vet seemed caring and competent. She suggested a lab panel, which I agreed to be done. After reviewing x-rays and blood tests with me (including a two sets, because their lab machine had failed with the first set), the vet told me that there was an additional kidney blood test that would helpful. This test would be run at an outside lab, if there was no extra charge. She clearly told me several times that there was enough blood left over to do this test.The next morning, I receive a voicemail telling me to bring my cat in for a second blood draw for this additonal test. When I called back, the person on the phone was rude and condescending (I am a physician and would not tolerate this behavior from my staff). She told me that all of my cat's blood had been used up, since the lab panel had to be run twice due to malfunction of the machine. THIS WAS NOT WHAT I WAS TOLD BY THE VETERINARIAN. When I asked to speak to the covering vet, I was told I could not do so, and the cat would have to be brought back in.I believe that if what is discussed between client and vet is changed to something completely different, that the vet should inform the client of this change. I also hesitate coming back to this hospital, as the staff person on the phone seemed to care less that my cat would have to undergo a second traumatic blood draw. Caring for sick animals should include kindness as well as good medicine.

I wouldn't recommend using this establishment for your animal's care. After the veterinarian made a huge deal about the potential liver toxicity of a medication she was prescribing for my newly adopted kitten, she then proceeded to call in the wrong dose of this medication. She wrote for DOUBLE the dose that should have been given. My husband and I are both physicians so luckily we caught her error. When I brought it to her attention, she started blaming it on the tech who called in the medication rather than just apologizing. If the medication had been given at the dose she'd inadvertently prescribed for the 3 week course - the kitten would have almost certainly had liver failure and died. Appalling.

What a disappointing experience. Have been a dog owner again for the past 9 months and have been happy at All Creatures for several different visits including fixing our beautiful little girl. Sadly, that all changed today.My puppy has Giardia which is evidently an easy fix so they prescribed her 5 days worth of powdered meds. The price of $135 +/- seemed very high so I double checked. They insisted that was the regular price. I decided to call Helen Woodward where we board our beautiful girl when away and they quoted me $40 for the same meds. I then double checked and called a friend who owns the Animal Hospital in Sorrento Valley and they gave me an amount just a bit higher than that at HW.I shared my findings with several people up front at All Creatures and their answer was basically... sorry too bad. They then offered me a prescription so I could to go HW and fill it for $100 less or so. I had hoped they would realize how much they were overcharging and would reduce to a more comparable level but that never happened so I accepted their offer and waited 10 minutes or so for them to write the prescription. Then after 10 minutes and still no prescription in hand, they decided to "threaten me" with the news that HW wouldn't likely accept the prescription anyways without their own evaluation so good luck and tough luck.Needless to say we won't be back at All Creatures.. too bad...nice facility and the people were previously always nice and kind to both my puppy and me and and my girls. Just can't accept a 300% markup and then especially worse the hostile attitude about it when they realized I really was taking the prescription elsewhere. Shame to have a relationship end that way but I guess they probably realized how poorly they had handled the situation.

We have 2 dogs and a cat. All 3 make regular vet visits for check ups, shot, and all sorts of other random issues. (If you've had a rambunctious puppy or two, you understand.) I have never ever had a problem making an appointment and for that I'm very grateful. I love the extended hours and the many doctors and techs who are available. Every doctors and vet tech that we've interacted with has been patient and understanding even with our anxious, timid rescue dog and that always wins bonus points in my book. We've has many shots given, giardia cases treated, a few cuts stitched, teeth cleaned, skin irritations checked... and had good experiences every time.

We've been taking our family dog here for years. The quality of care is absolutely amazing--follow-up phone calls to make sure your pet is doing ok/feeling better. Seriously, the animals here receive better care than most humans. They have really great hours and plenty of parking. It's the absolute best veterinary care you could look for in all the San Diego area!

006 / 100 - 2016 YELP 100 CHALLENGE.My fiance and I adopted a miniature dachshund back in August and my friend (who owns a golden/Irish setter mix) recommended that we take her here. Haven't regretted it since!Everyone here at All Creatures Hospital is incredibly friendly and professional. It's pretty obvious that they love animals and what they do everyday! The wonderful part about this place is that it's open 7 days a week, even on holidays. Awesome!The only reason why I gave this place 4 out of 5 instead of 5 out of 5 is because they can be a little disorganized sometimes. Because my fiance and I both work FT, the usual times we'd be available would be in the evening. We changed the schedule just ONCE (showed up on a holiday and resumed 1-2 weeks later for the next round of shots) and someone hadn't logged which shots Mocha had gotten on her last trip. :( It was a scramble trying to figure out what she had gotten. In addition to that, they couldn't even find us in the database when we showed up that time, even though we had been there 1-2 times before that?Aside from all of that, they truly do care about your pets. Everything is clean, they offer your pet lots of cuddles and affection, and even have jars where you can get your pet some treats to make them feel more at home! I can always trust that Mocha will be in great hands!

I brought my cat to this hospital for issues with constipation. The vet seemed caring and competent. She suggested a lab panel, which I agreed to be done. After reviewing x-rays and blood tests with me (including a two sets, because their lab machine had failed with the first set), the vet told me that there was an additional kidney blood test that would helpful. This test would be run at an outside lab, if there was no extra charge. She clearly told me several times that there was enough blood left over to do this test.The next morning, I receive a voicemail telling me to bring my cat in for a second blood draw for this additonal test. When I called back, the person on the phone was rude and condescending (I am a physician and would not tolerate this behavior from my staff). She told me that all of my cat's blood had been used up, since the lab panel had to be run twice due to malfunction of the machine. THIS WAS NOT WHAT I WAS TOLD BY THE VETERINARIAN. When I asked to speak to the covering vet, I was told I could not do so, and the cat would have to be brought back in.I believe that if what is discussed between client and vet is changed to something completely different, that the vet should inform the client of this change. I also hesitate coming back to this hospital, as the staff person on the phone seemed to care less that my cat would have to undergo a second traumatic blood draw. Caring for sick animals should include kindness as well as good medicine.
