I've been bringing my 2 cats here for the past 5 or 6 years. Always good service, and I love that they call to ask how the medications are working for your pets. When you walk in there's usually a parrot on it's perch behind the counter and a sleeping kitty in a basket on top of the counter who is very friendly. Read Less

Thank goodness for these people. My mom originally took my cat to VCA anime hospital, and although they were prompt to see her, they did nothing to help because they didn't want to get our hopes up. Here, they understood that we couldn't afford all the diagnostics, but were willing to prescribe antibiotics anyways. Read Less

Dr. Judy has been my boxerdog Ruby's doc since puppyhood eight years ago.  He has helped her thru illness and skin issues that were once so bad, we were considering options to end her grief.  Thanks to his patience, expertise, and the right medication, she is now a very happy, very healthy eight year old that still plays like a puppy, with none of her previous skin issues!  Just removed a good size lesion under her tongue, and it turned out benign, yay!!  We love Dr. Judy, even if he DOES love the pets more than their people!  Thanks Dr. Judy, and staff, for giving us eight great years with Ruby, as well as the opportunity for many more to come.  Keep up the great work.

Dr. Judy saved my three-year old Labrador's life this week. My dog had stopped eating and drinking and was lethargic. Dr. Judy operated and found a twisted intestine and then diagnosed my dog with Addison's Disease, a rare disease affecting a dog's adrenal glands. My dog spent three days at the Judy Vet Clinic until they were sure he was stable enough to go home. He received compassionate care from everyone in the office, and we are so grateful to them!

I am extremely pleased with the care my dog recieved to get 5 teeth extracted. The staff was able to accommodate my work schedule and have me in for exam quickly and leave my dog there for procedure.  My most favorite thing was the "after care" package I recieved with instructions and medications to give my dog. The absolute best part is the vet recommendation for a dog mouth wash I could puchase from them and 2 examples of other brands available at Target and Petco complete with price points and pictures. Thats amaxing!!! Most vets only want you to purchase things from them. For this reason alone I will never go anywhere else. If that wasn't good enough, the service is amazing and I LOVE the staff's personal pets/aniamls roaming around freely. This shows me the care and respect the owners have for their staff and animals.  This was the 3rd time I've taken my dog there and each time it was a pleasure. Read Less

My bf brought 2 stray kitties home, while they're adorable, they can have lots of problems. Astro, our  boy was not eating and was peeing at inappropriate places. A quick google search suggested he might have a UTI. I took him to a local vet down the street and they said it was unlikely that it was UTI because he was so young. They wanted me to pay almost $300 to run some tests so they can be sure. We were then recommended Judy Vet. We brought Astro in the morning and they knew right away it was UTI. Elena helped us right away and was able to tell exactly what was wrong with Astro. I love talking to individuals who listen to you and not just quickly dismiss your concerns. Elena was so patient and knowledgeable, such traits are always appreciated.Also, Dr. Judy was so professional and knowledgeable that after we picked up Astro he gave us a follow up call to see how he's doing. The level of care and love for animals he has is immeasurable. You can tell he really loves what he does. Being new cat owners, I'm worried about every slight change since I don't have any prior experiences owning a cat. When my cats were throwing up, I gave Judy Vet a call and the front desk girls were always able to address all my questions and concerns and gave me terrific recommendations. Turns out, my cats were eating too fast. Recently found out Comet, my stray girl, has worms. The receptionist was able to quickly diagnose that it was worms and prescribe me medications. Her politeness and knowledge really made me feel at ease. Read Less

Lucy the dog had a foxtail in her nose. Started asking what vet do you go to and the overwhelming response was Judy. Brought Lucy in and what a great experience! Fixed Lucy, fair price, fast, caring, worked with my schedule, and a follow up call to check on Lucy.Awesome. If my ex would have been like this, I would still be married :) Read Less

Dr. David Judy is my vet, and his clinic is my vet's office. The office staff and the tech's all do a wonderful job. The prices are fair and reasonable.  Dr. Judy doesn't try to nickel and dime you nor does he try and sell you extra stuff, like shampoo or supplements but those things are available.  He  explains what he thinks the problem is and tells you what to do about it,  giving all options if there is more than one, he has always been correct with my dogs, 5 have been his patients. Read Less

I saw Dr. Judy for a second opinion after being referred to him by a friend. He and his staff were amazing! I was very impressed with how he handled my dog and how he reviewed the records I had sent then carefully discussed the case with me and gave me his recommendations.  I walked away grateful I took my dog to him.  If I lived closer, I wouldn't hesitate to take my animals to him. And if I ever have any serious problems I am most certainly making the drive from Oceanside to El Cajon to see him! He and his staff are very impressive! Read Less

They are great! They are straight forward about treating your fur buddy. Their pricing is below what other vet offices charge and they have a military discount. The front desk receptionists are friendly and knowledgeable! Read Less

We've been taking our dogs to DrJudy for the past 13 years. We've seen everyone on staff at this office and have utter confidence in their competencies to care for our pets. They are kind and compassionate. When two of our dogs had cancer they were clear and supportive concerning our options. They helped us make decisions regarding their care as the cancer progressed. When one of our dogs became ill with colitis they gave us a pill regimens and called a couple days later to see how he was doing. I've never had a vet follow up like that. When we first moved here we used the vet on Broadway,Animal Medical Center. That place felt like they were only in it for the money. DrJudy is reasonably priced but their genuine concern and care for your or is what really sets the above the rest. The office isn't flashy but it's clean and welcoming. Read Less

I really like the staff and Doctors. They are really good with my dog, a Pitbull. I love the fact that they do NOT wisk him away where I cannot see him for treatment. I am allowed to comfort the big baby even if they are just looking into his ears! They also take the conservative route instead of jumping to expensive conclusions right away. Thank you!! Read Less

Dr. Judy & staff have helped us with with our dog Cheyenne for many years!!! We would not still have her without his special surgery and care. The whole staff is fantastic really care!!! Thank You All!! Read Less

Dr. Judy and his staff are the best! They are kind, caring, and compassionate. Our little dog had been very sick with Cushing's Syndrome and other vets were trying to play on our emotions and incur unwarranted costs by doing unnecessary tests etc. We feel so fortunate someone recommend this clinic otherwise, I don't think Daisy's future would have been so bright. She is 100 X better! Thank you Dr. Judy and staff. We really appreciate it even though our little dog is 10 she is part of the family and we are happy you have allowed us to give her quality of life back. Read Less

Have been going to Dr Judy for about 12 yrs.  I have never had such a great Veterinary for my pets.  They are so caring in this office.  From the receptionist to the doctor.  Our little Maltese Kristy is never scared when we take her there (even after a couple of surgery) that says it all.  Maggie is the reception and she is so wonderful and caring.  It is like having a family doctor except its for our pets. Read Less

first time at the clinic and I was referred from a friend my puppy is sick and I understand the doctor is really nice but when I came in the lady at the front desk just telling me that I have to take my puppy to the hospital at Cuyamaca because the doctor is not around which is okay but at least be nice to your customer not even say hi or good morning she didn't even bother to ask me what happen to my puppy and one lady came out from back cursing and indeed she was surprised I was there standing very rude workers though not good for the business especially if the boss is not around Read Less

I have been taking my pets to Dr. Judy for over 16 years and have had nothing but top notch, quality service. He and his staff, as well as his other attending physicians have always treated me and my pets like their own family. When my rabbit took ill, every other veterinarian in the area quoted me a small fortune (every one of them were over $1000) to keep him all day and test him for treatment. Dr. Judy examined him, treated him, and sent me home with medicine within 30 minutes for an out the door cost of under $100. "Bugsy" lived a very long and happy life following that experience. Never like salesmen, the entire staff are friendly and courteous, and honest above reproach. I will never go anywhere else! Read Less

I am very pleased with the care provided by this office for my dog and my cat. They get your pet in quickly, which is a huge relief for us owners. Dr. Judy is very experienced, especially with dobermans, like my Rex. He seems great with all forms of animals as well as people. And prices are not crazy high either. I would go nowhere else.

I have a 11 yr. old shitzu. He's always have had skin issues. Red and inflamed skin with a horrible yeasty smell. I've gone to at least 7 vets. They always did the same thing. Steroid shots and pills. It would work for about 2 weeks and then back to the same issue. I went and saw Dr. Judy and he cured my Harley. Just 1 visit that's all it took. So thankful for finding him. Read Less

Been coming to Dr. Judy for years. He is the only one I trust to give me an honest answer with my pets. He doesnt make you do all these unnecessary test. I like knowing my dogs are in good hands. He has great bedside manner. Thank you Dr. Judy. Read Less

Love this place! I am not a big fan of vets because they are always expencive and never willing to work with you or very rude or just plain sketchy! but so far this place has been great! And they always get so excited when I take my Basset Hound Watson in! Also you can always tell how well a clinic is by how your dog acts, if he doesnt feel comfortable leave.. There is a reason for it. But watson loves it here! Read Less

Honest and caring! I came to Dr Judy on a recommendation from a close friend who swears by him and I know how much she loves her bullies so I decided to bring my frenchie for a second opinion. After my vet mentioned that my frenchie may need to have surgery for his breathing issues I wanted a second opinion.  Dr Judy was very nice and asked about my concerns and explained his opinion and the benefits for the surgery. He put me at ease. The unbelievable part was that he referred me to another vet. He said "Don't get me wrong! I would love your business and I would love to have Otis as a new client. But I know a great Vet that specializes in this type of surgery and he has a ton of frenchie clients so he is gonna be the best Vet for this type of surgery". I was so amazed with his honesty! Ultimately, he was right the surgery is done and I couldn't be happier! If we lived near Dr Judy's office we would be new clients for sure! I would recommend him to anyone I know! Read Less

Dr. Judy came through when no one else could. He is innovative and caring and VERY responsive. Oh did I mention that he and his team are some of the brightest in the business. I recommend them wholeheartedly. Read Less

Dr. Judy and the staff are the most trust worthy and wonderful people with dogs that I have ever encountered. We have been with them for many years. They have seen us through the loss of dear friends and good times. They have really made the difference in treating our dogs and making their lives and ours better! Read Less

Dr. Judy and Dr. Young make a great team.  They have always been there for me when I needed them with profound care and professionalism and skill.  They even cured a chronic ear problem that other vets failed with.  He had a innovative approach to using antibiotics, was amazing.  I would whole heartedly recommend Judy Vet Clinic. Read Less

We have been patients of Dr. Judy since 1982. He and his staff have always been wonderful and very caring. They are very good at what they do. They have never overcharged us for anything. Always very fair and affordable. We have owned 5 German Shepards and now two rescue corgis. We have recommended Dr. Judy and his staff to all of our family and friends. They are wonderful, caring people.Read Less

I've been taking my dogs to Dr. Judy Clinic since moving to Lakeside a year ago. I really like the personalized service & compassionate staff there. We had to have one of our dogs put down & the staff was very caring. Have recommended them to others. Read Less

BEWARE- TREATMENT SO BAD I HAD TO HAVE A SHERIFF ESCORT ME IN THE OFFICE TO PICK UP MY DOGS.  PLEASE READ AND BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THIS VET.Dr. Judy was scheduled to do 2 procedures for our dogs yesterday.  This appointment had been scheduled for a while. My husband got them there early at 8:00am. At 11:30am I received a text from my husband that Dr Judy was going to do the spay on our 1 1/2 year old golden doodle but cancelled the URGENT procedure that was scheduled for our 11 year old labrador.  He cancelled because he was going to leave town. They had taken her blood work but cancelled the surgery. I called up the office and ask to speak to Dr. Judy.  I questioned him as to why he would schedule a surgery and then cancel the same day when this was scheduled for quite a while. He spoke extremely rude to me and started arguing with me and He said " my staff does the schedule not me".  I asked why his staff would schedule and him not know 2 surgeries were scheduled. He obviously knew, as he was there to do the procedures. He also had already took blood from our Labrador and sedated our golden doodle. Dr. Judy went on to make very disparaging remarks about my husband. With all the other times we had interaction with this office we had no idea Dr. Judy felt this way.  It was a shock. Note, my husband is the nicest guy and anyone who knows him would not say anything negative about him.  We both are very caring people and serve for many charitable organizations in San Diego, including helping animals. I told Dr. Judy to stop anything he is doing with my dogs and I was picking them up immediately.  I was so upset as he made cruel remarks about my husband and extremely rude and disrespectful to me. HIS TONE MADE ME FEARFUL FOR THE WELL BEING OF OUR DOGS.  As I mentioned , he had already sedated our golden doodle and had taken blood from the labrador.  I warned him not to do anything else and I was picking them up.  I arrived and had a Sheriff meet me there as a result of the cruelty from Dr. Judy.  I felt it was necessary to have an officer of the Law to keep the peace. Dr. Judy came out with some of his staff very defensively when we walked in. He said what's this about?  The officer told him "I'm here to keep the peace and help assist with getting the dogs". His nurse was not going to let me go in the back to get  my dogs but the sheriff insisted I could go back. There they were locked in cages and my little golden doodle was all drugged up from the sedation. My labrador looked up at me as if she was scared. I got them out and while I was doing that Dr. Judy was staring at me with a very evil look on his face.  It was SCARY.  The officer helped me out with the dogs to get them in the car.  Now we have to start over, but we will find a compassionate caring veterinarian who cares about our dogs (which are our children to us) and will treat us respectfully. Again please think very carefully before you choose this Vet. Read Less

You know what....it's not just that I like Dr. Judy it's the fact that Ronnie likes Dr. Judy and Dr. Judy likes Ronnie.So I noticed Ronnie was real happy every time we visited the clinic and Dr. Judy had said he liked Ronnie which made me really happy and Ronnie seemed to like him, too.One time after our visit as I turned around to back out I noticed Ronnie was smiling and grinning ear to ear and just really pleased with himself.It was obvious Ronnie thinks him and Dr. Judy are two cool guys  hanging out together.Ronnie and Dr. Judy......the cool kids.

I've been taking my cats and dogs to Dr. Judy for approximately 15 years and have had excellent care. Dr Judy and his staff are very caring and efficient. I love the way Dr Judy talks and pets the animals while attending to them. The office is so clean and pleasant with a TV if you have to wait, which I've actually never had to because I've had appointments. There's a greeting party of several friendly cats and a parrot in the lobby. Often Dr Judy and his staff bring their own dogs to work and they roam around. Someone dropped off a little terrier that had paralyzed back legs and dr Judy adopted it and bought it a little two wheel contraption and now it can go anywhere. It is also one of the greeting party when you go into the office. When my animals have had surgery, Dr Judy always calls my home and checks on them. I receive reminders of vaccinations and appointments. I highly recommend Dr Judy to anyone needing veterinarian care. Read Less

The people here at Dr. Judy's Vet Clinic are the BEST. I called to get a 'script refilled for the pup. They were closing in 5 minutes(my fault for procrastinating). The staff offered to stay there past closing(6pm)on a Friday night just so the lil guy wouldn't have to wait until next week. It's not like without the meds it was life or death. It was just flea & tick control maintenance. They stayed there until I could get over there & pick it up.  I say 5 SOLID STARS for the entire staff.BONUS: While I was picking up the meds, I was told, if I ordered them from the Online Pharmacy, they give you a better deal than picking up from the clinic.
