We have taken our pets to Scripps Parkway Veterinary Hospital since they opened. They are great and I wish I could go there too! They are caring. They know that some pet owners think of their pets as pets and some pet owners think of their pets as family. They don't judge either way. They always list out the options for your pets care and keep in mind the pet's quality of life. Read Less

I've been taking my feline friends to Scripps Parkway Veterinary Hospital since moving to San Diego in 1998. The care has been excellent, from routine checkups to more serious illnesses. The doctors take their time, the staff is friendly and helpful. Even though I now live on the other side of San Diego, the trip to Dr. Carhart's clinic is well worth the extra miles. On behalf of my current rescues, Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson, we thank you! Read Less

The doctors and staff here have taken care of my dog for a little over 10 years. Everyone from the front office staff to the doctors are experienced professionals and provide a caring experience for both pet and owner. My pup is always very relaxed with everyone that works here. I highly recommend them. Read Less

Last week we made the difficult decision to euthanize our sweet kitty who was nearly 20 years old and very ill. Georgia and Aaron in the front office were very compassionate and supportive. Dr. Carhart gently examined our kitty and clearly explained the procedure. We were not rushed in any way and were given plenty of time to say our final good-byes, even though it was the end of their business day. We give this veterinary practice a solid 5-star rating and will continue to bring our other pets to them for care. Thank you. Read Less

Dr. Carhart has been our small animal vet for more than ten years. He is incredibly kind, patient and thorough. You can tell how much he truly cares about the animals. I know he will look at a problem from every angle and make sure he gets to the bottom of it. I'm grateful for his incredible knowledge of veterinary medicine, as well as his kind, caring nature. His staff are wonderful too! My animals love them and I'm reassured that they are in good hands. Read Less

As an original owner in the neighborhood, Dr. Carhart's practice has been our vet for 18 years and 2 dogs. All of the doctors, nurses, and staff are incredibly friendly, caring, and helpful people. Routine visits, emergency visits (darn those bees, and the puppies that love to hunt them!), even major health issue diagnosis and referrals, they have handled it all and done it well. Read Less

Dr. Carhart and staff have been caring for my pets for the last 15+ years. 3 generations of dogs. Dr. Carhart is hands-down one of the finest and concerned veterinarians you can find. The staff is super friendly, great with my pups and do a great job following up on all procedures and appointment requirements. I cannot recommend SPVET enough. This is a quality establishment.

We've been taking our cats here since they opened, and they've always provided outstanding care. From our late, beloved Socks as he fought cancer, to our new rough and tumble boys, Spot and S'more, the doctors and the staff have been enormously helpful, and caring. They treat our furry family as their own. Read Less

In many ways, I am impressed with Scripps Parkway Veterinary Hospital. Over Memorial Day weekend 2015, my 2.5 year-old Basenji went to a specialty animal hospital (not SPVH) after my family saw blood in his urine. The hospital said my pup had stones. My family used SPVH as their primary vet, so I decided to give them a try. When I first walked into SPVH, I was surprised by how clean the office was--this is something I never saw back home (Houston, TX). The people behind the front desk were extremely helpful, and I had an appointment with Dr. Carhart the same day. We discussed the options for my pup, and, shortly afterwards, my pup went in to surgery to remove the stones from his bladder and urethra. I never felt that Dr. Carhart was pressed for time when answering my questions at the in-person visits (initial visit and pre-operative visit). The operation went (almost) perfectly. Dr. Carhart's skill as a surgeon is evidenced clearly by my pup having almost no visible scarring. Also, the price was affordable for the procedure my pup underwent--50% below the price quoted by the animal hospital I took my pup to over the Memorial Day weekend. Where SPVH shines, in my opinion, is the post-operative care and support they provide to clients. Dr. Carhart has spent (and continues to spend) what I imagine is a lot of time communicating with me about my pup's condition and answers all of my questions promptly. We communicate primarily through e-mail, and his e-mail are extremely thorough. I never expected this level of continuing support without additional, costly vet visit. So, if you are looking for a place at which you can get high-quality care and vets will invest their time into your pup, I would consider looking at SPVH and asking for Dr. Carhart.Read Less

My dog was stung by a bee and had a bad reaction, so I found the nearest vet to me and rushed her in. The vet was very thorough in describing the issues and what was needed. The team clearly loves animals. The office is clean, but could use more comfortable seating.They carry Vectra, which works much better than frontline these days.The cost wasn't too bad, less than I expected actually. I'll bring my dogs here again. Read Less

We've had numerous dogs and dealt with numerous Vets over the last 25 years, and when we moved to San Diego 4 tears ago, I found Scripps Parkway Veterinary Hospital. They have always been very convenient and friendly. I have recommended them to my neighbors, and they have been happy too. The staff and doctors are certainly knowledgeable and caring about our dogs welfare. I have a standing rule with them, "don't sell me on something i don't need", and they follow it well. Could they charge less for some of the services they provide - probably. But I haven't found a vet yet that is cheap - and I don't want to. Read Less

Dr. Carhart was always so good to us when we took our animals to him while in San Diego. He is full of compassion and truly cares about his patients and his patients parents! He also helped us over the telephone long distance after we moved to the Temecula area. On several occasions when we were in a medical emergency having to make gut wrenching decisions with our cat who had cancer (we were devastated). We wanted Dr. Carhart's opinion on what the vet here told us as we were trying everything we could to save her life. Dr. Carhart was so calming and explained about that type of cancer, read over her reports we faxed to him to see if there was anything he could do. Just the fact that he called and talked to us for an hour at a time was so loving and compassionate of him. And, he did not even charge us!!! He is a true blessing and if we still lived in San Diego, he would be our vet without question. May God continue to bless you and your practice, Dr. Carhart!!! Sincerely, Aaron and Nancy Turner, Wildomar, CAP. S. Our baby girl Midge Joy, only 8 years old, went to Heaven December 30, 2006; we will see her healed and whole when we get there and then we will indeed have eternity together with all of our other precious animals God loves and has so richly blessed us with, FOREVER!
