The Dr's and staff at Montecito Animal Clinic are outstanding.  They are loving and dedicated to giving excellent care to pets and their owners.  My dog Jonty has been a patient for 8 years, since I adopted him from ARF. I know  that Jonty will have the best of care if it is a regular check up or illness or emergency. Read Less

Not a swanky upscale office but the Vets are top notch, caring and considerate. The staff is warm and friendly. Very short wait to be seen for your appointment. And the prices are reasonable. There's a separate entrance for dogs and one for cats. Clever. Read Less

I have been bringing my pets to this clinic for decades... My animals have received top notch care in the hands of all the staff and practitioners. I admire and respect their approach to medicine.  They don't rush into anything unnecessarily while, at the same time, ensuring the best care.  I never feel rushed when I am in the clinic - the doctors take their time and are very thorough.  If they don't have an answer, they find it or they refer you to someone who can help.  Pricing is fair and reasonable. They are a busy clinic but always make time for drop-ins - I have never waited more than a few minutes to be seen with an appointment.  Highly recommend Montecito Clinic - couldn't be happier in their care!

Took my Frankie, a llhasa apso, to the clinic yesterday. Been there quite a few times, but normally for check-ups for my two dogs. Yesterday was different. Felt a lump on Frankie's side which scared me and my husband to death. We had a retriever once, the love of our lives, who died of cancer. The lump I felt on Frankie brought back memories we couldn't forget.Dr. March was like an angel who tended to Frankie and she immediately put me at ease by saying it's probably just a fatty deposit. She took samples and called me that afternoon to say it was benign, but we should keep an eye whether the lump is growing. How many doctors nowadays give phone calls? I can't thank Dr. March enough for the peace of mind she'd given us. People say angels come in many forms. Well, Dr. March is certainly one of them.If I may make a suggestion, the clinic should put a bigger sign which can be seen from the road. The building's paint is old and drab. It's hard to see.

I've only been once, but such a great first impression. Pricing was super reasonable. Staff was friendly. They did not in anyway try to push anything on me to make more money. It was thorough and yet quick and easy. They had a cat entrance and a dog entrance. Very little wait. Oh and bonus, they have large Legos in the waiting room that my two year old enjoyed. Read Less

These 3 ladies combine to make one kick ass vet! Call 8am & they have same day appointments, yet they look at you like your crazy when your a first time paranoid doggie mama! Who knew a dog could have yeast infections?!!! 10mo old loves all 3 of these wonderful animal lovers aka Drs. Lots of treats is the key to any pups heart! Read Less

This vet office is wonderful. All three Veterinarians are great and that's rare.  My dogs feel so comfortable here. More importantly I feel comfortable with the care they receive. Thank you Dr. March, Dr Pieper, and Dr. Shore for loving our pets and being great at what you do! Read Less

We met with Dr. Shore and she was incredibly gentle, kind and listened intently to my concerns about our dog's behavior. I would highly recommend Montecito Animal clinic. I drive a half hour to get there and it is well worth it!Thank you Dr. Shore!! Read Less

We moved from Antioch to Martinez 2 years ago.  We had been going back to our vet in Antioch, since it wasn't too far.  After talking to several people about vet's in the area, Montecito Animal Clinic kept coming up.  We were told it takes a long time to get in if you are a new customer.  We scheduled a routine check up for our Lab.  We got the appointment we needed.  Now when we call we get appointments right away.  We got a second dog and she now goes there too.  Very reasonable pricing and the vets really care about your pets.  Never feel rushed and they always answer your questions.  They only do what is necessary, nothing more.  Highly recommend them.

The front staff are very knowledgeable and professional and, as a result, I've never had to wait.  Never had a problem with misdiagnosis or feeling like expensive treatments are being suggested just for them to make money. Read Less

Just switched our doggies care to Dr. Pieper at Montecito vet clinic and what a difference it's made in Foxey's life - He's a 13 y/o Border Collie who had to have a surgical procedure 11 years ago due to Dysplasia from a farm accident and his leg has been bothering him more as he aged.  Dr. Pieper suggested adding Gabapentine to his pain meds and he's like a new young pupper again!  They also did dental cleaning for both Foxey and Murphy (Corgi) and much lower cost than our previous vet (who left town without notifying any of her clients) Read Less

I am a first time dog owner and the vet was so kind and helpful! She checked both dogs and was very informative! She went over dog insurance, flea meds, bathing, and kennel cough. She was so helpful! I would recommend this location to all of my friends in the area! Thank you!! Read Less

After being a customer at a half dozen other vets in the immediate area over the years, I have found a final vet with Montecito. Friendly, knowledgable and reasonable. Can't ask for a better experience. Read Less

I highly recommend this clinic!Pros: They honor your appointment time so you and your pet may get on with your day. Extremely affordable compared to other local clinics. All staff are friendly and courteous, they care! You get to go in the room with your pet vs. waiting in the lobby like other clinics. My pet is hard to handle and they do a great job with her.Cons:Sometimes it may be hard to be seen last minute but I usually have good luck. Read Less

Nice clinic with friendly staff. My puppy got her vaccinations here and although she wasn't super thrilled, the treats the assistant gave made her very happy and comfy :) cost was lower than I thought it would be so not bad! Good parking outside too. Read Less

I have been to two vets in the area and Montecito is my third - I'm hoping my last. They are clean, reasonably priced & so far we have had no issues getting an appt. The gals at the front desk are polite & have greeted us upon arrival, which seems to be an issue at vet clinics. So we love that they are friendly & helpful.We really, really like Dr. March. She was thorough, kind & competent. It impressed me that she cut the dogs' toenails herself, too! We like Montecito & hope to continue to be able to take our doggies to see them. Read Less

Dr Pieper is a great vet .Very patient and compassionate to our beloved minipoodle Teddy . Dr Pieper is very prompt on her follow up calls and very concerned vet .We love her . Thank you Dr Pieper and the Montecito Team Read Less

You will not find a better place to take your pets in this area! The staff is wonderful to our little Yorkie! We also had an older dog that we had to put to sleep last year and they were so loving and kind to us. We love Montecito!!!! Read Less

We have used Montecito Animal Clinic for years (Dr. Foster) he and his staff have been very professional and knowledgeable. We just got a new puppy and are going back to them even though there are closer Vetinarian Clinics. They are the best!!!! Read Less

This veterinary hospital is very friendly and great with all sorts of pets. I have 3 cats and 3 dogs and they are wonderful with all of them. They were very compassionate when I had to put my elderly dogs down in the past few years. You won't find a better vet. Read Less
