Adobe Pet Hospital

Incredibly smart, caring, and efficient staff make this our favorite vet for almost 15 years now. Dr. Gibbs is fantastic, as are all the vet techs. Dr. Haskell, although not our primary doctor, is also very good. Read Less

I was taking my guinea pig because he was dying and the people are just really friendly. although they had to put my guinea pig to sleep they put him in a box and decorated them. They made my guinea pig's death not so bad. I am thankful for coming to Adobe pet hospital. Read Less

Excellent staff! Extremely clean facility. Knowledgeable people who are truly concerned about animals well being. A wonderful caring center for all my animals. Drs. Haskell and Gibbs are outstanding. Renata and all the techs are deeply caring and concerned. Adobe has been my vet for 16 years through all stages of my animals lives. I would not have them cared for any where else. Read Less

We got a lemon rat. What is a lemon rat, you ask? A rat that doesn't work. Dr Haskell has been incredibly helpful and compassionate with our rodent. These sweet, stinky, furry pets have become part of the family and since I can't flush them down the toilet, we will do whatever we can to keep them alive. Thank you to Dr Haskell and the entire staff at Adobe for all your help. Highly recommend for the rodent owner! Read Less

Terrible vet. I've never had a vet treat my animal this way.First we were interrupted during our exam by nurses coming in for signatures. Very unprofessional. They had no idea how to handle a cat and treated him like he would attack at any minute. Grabbed him in very tight and uncomfortable grips and toppled him over I asked for them to stop (because he was screaming, and he never does) and they said there was no other way because they can tell he is going to be aggressive.... he's never scratched or bitten anyone. He's the nicest cat. A simple nudge or asking me to lay him down would have worked much better and he wouldn't have been so stressed. He loves visiting the vet, that should tell you something. This was AN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE. They also kept complaining how his hair was getting in their mouth, over and over. I'm sorry, you do know you work in a vet correct?Anyway, never seen a doctor avoid opinions on medication as much as here. Giving me no options on trying something new. Came up with answers that did not make any sense, obviously not even paying attention to the question. Mostly disgusted with the disgraceful way they treated us. I'm appalled this place is rated this high. The doctor had an attitude of I know best, and that really did not sit well with me. I've been to vets all over CA, never seen a doctor be so indifferent. Always had other doctors be very loving and understanding.In conclusion.. Worst vet ever. Not looking for this vet to reply and say it was a miss understanding etc. It wasn't... it was inhumane, rude and uninformative. Waste of time. Read Less

Switched vets to adobe because told my mother some things that my other vet in ventura was trying to charge us for. She told me they were taking advantage of me, which I was hesitant on believing. Went to Adobe did not feel pressured into anything. Dr. Haskell is very knowledgeable and experienced. Did not try to oversell us on things and just did what he knew he had to do. He even recommended things that would save us money. Whaaa?? A vet that encourages you to SAVE money? Yep, it's true! New favorite vet. Read Less

Dr. Haskell performed surgery to remove two of my adult Queensland heeler's teeth,  and that was years ago. He did a wonderful job and my dog recovered in record time. Recently, we had a bad few hours here at my house, when our other dog, a 13-year-old Red heeler/Chow chow mix, who we knew wasn't going to be with us for much longer, suddenly got worse.  We had a house call vet all lined up, just in case.  But-----when we called----we discovered this vet was out of town for a week!  Panic time.We didn't want our dog to suffer. She was calm and not showing any signs of distress or pain, but she had had a small fit earlier in the morning.  It was time . . .We couldn't even find another house call vet. We decided we would have to do what we had dreaded doing, which was to take our ailing dog to a vet clinic. How awful to put her through that, but what choice did we have? We called all around, got a bunch of "Are you presently a client?" and "Has your dog been here before?"  We couldn't even get an appointment. It was a nightmare.I thought of Dr. Haskell and called him. His receptionist, "Isa," was wonderfully kind and sweet. She told us to bring our dog in at 5PM.  We were SO RELIEVED.But that was at 10AM.  Our dog, one of the best dogs in The Universe, devoted and awesome right up until the very end, didn't last past 11AM.  She wandered the house for a bit.  I hugged her and hugged her and my heart nearly stopped, when suddenly I felt how cold she was.  She laid herself down on the oak floor, back to the wall . . .and she was gone.  We buried her out under the plum tree.Thank you Dr. Haskell, for being such a fine vet and for caring about animals.

As a physician, I respect greatly the care that Dr. Haskell has provided our cat. Perhaps as important is the culture he has established at Adobe Pet Hospital--an atmosphere of caring, politeness, and accommodation.Whether human or veterinary medicine, this is what the practice of caring for others should be all about. Dr. Haskell is a great guy! Read Less

I am SO impressed by the staff here, they took AMAZING care of me when I brought in my sick bunny and I would recommend them to anyone needing care for their pet! When I noticed my bunny acting sick I called a few places to try to bring him in only to be told that I would have to wait about a week for an opening. When I called Adobe they also said they were booked but asked me what my bunny's symptoms were. I described how he was acting and how worried I was about him and they said that they would squeeze me in and to bring him in right away. Unfortunately my bunny had contracted a virus from a mosquito that was fatal and he needed to be put down that day, I was absolutely devastated and a total wreck. The technician who was helping me was AMAZING! She was comforting, patient, and kind when going over my options and answering my many questions. All qualities that one wants when dealing with the loss of a loved pet. I highly recommend Adobe to anyone. Read Less

I just got my two pups spayed at the Adobe Pet Hospital and had a wonderful experience. My puppies, although not fond of the cones, are doing great and received great, quality care by the vets and ESPECIALLY Renata. This vet clinic was recommended by my aunt and friend and I am so happy I decided to go to Adobe. Read Less

Readers should disregard the 1-star review of this business by Victoria O .  Her review was posted in retaliation against the business because they would not release confidential information to her that she was not authorized to receive.  She is not the owner of the animal she discusses in her review, and she did not pay for that animal's care at Adobe Pet Hospital (she was fully reimbursed for any veterinary bills she covered in the course of running errands).Prior to posting her review, Victoria O. threatened this business that she would retaliate against them on Yelp! if they did not violate applicable law and comply with her demands.  I have screenshots of her discussing this with friends on social media.  Ms. Ordin frequently engages in such behavior; however, since most businesses comply with whatever she wants, you won't see too many negative reviews by her.Adobe Pet Hospital is a fantastic business....as can be easily determined by all of the other reviews posted by normal people: their actual customers who posted to report about consumer experiences rather than as a misguided attempt to punish the business for failure to comply with an unreasonable request.I began to take my animals here a few years ago on the recommendation of my parents, who have been clients since 2006.  Unfortunately my most recent visit was to have my 17 year old cat Oliver euthanized due to complications from several issues related to his advanced age.  Having to say goodbye to a pet you have lived with for 17+ years is never easy, but the staff at Adobe Pet Hospital, and Dr. Haskell specifically, made the process as comfortable for me and my family as it could have been.  I have always been happy with their service and professionalism.   I believe their decision to not provide confidential information to Victoria O despite her threats to retaliate against them here on Yelp! (which she acted upon) serves as a great example of their professionalism. Read Less

Our vet for 30 years sold his business and recommended Dr. Haskell. Not the business he sold! Says a lot.Just want the helpers to have name tags, or embroidered names on their ugly green scrubs.Like the no frills. A bit costly, and will eat beans and rice for a week. Read Less

This is a fantastic place. The staff is ridiculously friendly and knowledgeable. I've been coming here for about 10 years and never been dissatisfied. Dr. Haskell is very nice and efficient. He gets to the point and doesn't try to sell you on tests, pills or anything else that your dog doesn't really need. He'll also try to give you a more cost efficient way to handle a problem if you are on a budget.  I highly recommend adobe pet hospital. Read Less

I can't say enough about Adobe Animal Hospital. We had a lethargic bunny that had already been to emergency care and needed follow up. After other experiences in town and actually LOSING a bunny in the care of a vet, the bar was low for me. Dr. Haskell, Dr. Gibbs and especially Renata are a winning team and we will not go anywhere else. I actually care MORE about my bunny after their good care for him and their follow up with me. THANK YOU! Read Less

Dr. Haskall has been our vet since the day after we moved to SB 8 years ago. He is thorough, patient, calm, and professional. On one very tragic day, the quick response of his team saved my dog who had been attacked by pit bulls. I trust him 100% with all our family pets. Read Less

Dr. Haskell is the best vet! I don't live in SB anymore, but wish I did so I could keep him as my cat's vet. In fact, when I first moved away, my cat got deathly sick, and I considered driving the 3 hours to see Dr. H in person. I had tried every test at my local vet to see what was causing his vomiting and lethargy, but the local vet just wasn't as knowledgeable, and thus I just didn't trust. I called Dr. H for advice, telling him the tests that were run, and my cat's symptoms, and if he had not advised me to force feed my cat after he hadn't eaten for 1.5 days (which my local vet did not advise me to do), he may have died. I owe his life to Dr. Haskell, who didn't get a cent from his time, but loves animals so much that he was willing to time the time to speak with me! Thank you so much!! Read Less

We brought our tortoise to Adobe and they did a great job of nail trimming and gave a ton of extra info on caring for our pet. And then we started taking our dog Apple to Adobe a few months ago and they were in the midst of a remodel. The new office is very nice. They are very reasonably priced (especially compared to La Cumbre where we took our last dog). They also took care of our bunnies nails and even had a nurse who had owned her own bunnies and gave us some helpful tips.Very nice people that seem genuinely happy to be there. Highly recommend. Read Less

You will not find a more honest vet out there. He is frank about what treatments are necessary and when you are just spending money on tests for your own peace of mind. He still gives you the choice. I feel completely comfortable with putting my dog in his hands. His staff is also caring and helpful. He is very reasonably priced compared to other vets in town. My dog will be cared by Dr Haskell for the rest of his days. Read Less

Dr. Haskell has been our family Vet for about 10 years. We have had several emergencies and he always handles them professionally and with calm. The last incident he definitely saved our dog's life. He is professional, insightful and I would recommend him to anyone. He has had he gratitude of our family for a long time. I believe he tries his hardest at every turn and has been very successful with 3 of our family dogs. On two occasions he stayed open late to help our dying dog, which he ended up saving. Steady, smart, kind and a very good vet. Read Less

I love Dr. Haskell. His prices are a little steep but he is incredibly nice and he has given us numerous options (read: money-saving ideas) to try out before going down the costly vet procedure route.Dog needs a $300 teeth cleaning? Try pinning him down (all wriggly 75 pounds of him) and brushing his teeth every night. Tartar build-up solved for like $2...though in all fairness I think my dog would rather have the professional cleaning.Thanks Dr. Haskell! Read Less
