Vca Main Street Animal Hospital

San Diego, California
General Info
All pet appointments at VCA Main Street Animal Hospital in San Diego transform into serene walkthroughs that deliver sensory consistency and incremental reassurance to families throughout California. During check-in, animals undergo observations that include their responses to scent layers and flooring textures as well as eye contact and nearby movements instead of just medical assessments. Upon examination commencement clinicians modify procedural flow through posture indicators and handling feedback to adjust speed or pause in response to patient restlessness, breath alterations, or resistance. Examinations involve thorough assessments of coat density hydration muscle composition limb responsiveness dental surfaces oral heat and abdominal flexibility. Property proprietors receive invitations to discuss recent domestic activities while subtle shifts in routine patterns vocal expressions or energy movements provide guidance for subsequent actions. VCA Main Street Animal Hospital provides a range of services including structured diagnostics and immunizations along with pain tracking methods and aging wellness protocols while also engaging in collaborative illness mapping. Flexible appointments enable either single-step visits or multi-day staging based on the emotional bandwidth of both animal and household. Visual tools such as diagrams tracking calendars and photo logs become integrated elements to support communication across visits. Follow-up care isn’t a reminder—it’s a conversation. Check-ins rely on behavioral settling instead of solely relying on timeframes. Pet owners receive instruction on monitoring their animals' sensory regulation and activity levels after visits especially for pets that withdraw or externalize following stimulation-heavy experiences. VCA Main Street Animal Hospital delivers veterinary services throughout San Diego and nearby California regions which initiate with awareness while maintaining at-home rhythms and respecting physical and emotional limits throughout the entire process.

Brought my boxer in for a skin infection which they addressed properly. Asked for an estimate to have his testicles removed, because only one dropped and the other you can see under his skin in his groin area. The vet that did my dogs diagnosis for his skin infection told me that he was not the surgeon, but that he could verify where the testicle was because if it's too deep inside the abdomen it can be a problem. So he verified the location of the testicle, which is in his groin area very visible under his skin. Now they want me to come in again, pay another diagnosis fee to verify what they have already verified... don't bring your pet here Read Less

We have been taking our cat here for the last 4 years and they have been great. They solved an issue with our cats urinary problem with the type of food he ate. We came from another vet who want to do a very invasive and expensive surgery. 4 years later after just switching the food our cat is doing great. The vets and staff are extremely kind and we order our food direct to our home through VCA at a discount. Read Less

We have been going to VCA Main Street since 1997. Best Staff and and Doctors. Dr. Tugend is and excellent surgeon. And Save the life of our Beloved Sassy in her time of need. Dr. Kelly refused to give up and continued to diagnose Monster's illness. It took a awhile with testing. But he finally NAILED IT.. And Monster is Happy Healthy Monster today. We've tried other Vets Services and always ended back with the Best VCA Main Street. So when our beloved 4 legged children gets sick. Its VCA Main Street where we take them. Plus we can always find a VCA Facility close by when on vacation to Mojave. The staff is Superb. Kind Friendly and very pleasing to deal with. Always ready to help or suggest new ideas. My only negative about VCA Main Street is .. The no longer carry Vet Kem products there, Other wise it would be one stop for all my needs. We have working Breed Dogs and a mutt. And theres no better place to take them in San Diego County Read Less
