Mohnacky Animal Hospitals Of Vista

The vets and assistants were very caring towards my cat Simba and they made me feel comfortable through the days he stayed overnight. I highly recommend going here for your pets! Simba is doing great and he thanks the nice vets who cared for him Read Less

We have been bringing all of our dogs here for over a decade and every doctor we have seen and ALL staff have been professional, friendly, and showed concern for any symptom the dogs had. Every treatment is explained thoroughly and they give options with a breakdown of costs for each procedure. NO surprises!! The Pet Rewards Program is a great investment. Thank you, Mohnacky for taking great care of our family!! Read Less

A feral tomcat had been fighting with our cats and spraying the outside of the house and cars. We were fortunate to capture him in a Havaheart trap. The office help made room for us to come in for an appointment and evaluation the same afternoon.. The vet was kind enough to suggest we not leave him caged overnight and to reduce stress on the cat neutered him then. With great appreciation, Diana Holm Read Less

Possibly the single greatest example of customer service I've ever seen. My favorite furry baby of all time passed away and the vet was truly amazing. The vet mailed the most heartwarming card after the fact. They have won me over for life!Read Less

I brought our two kittens here after adopting them from the Oceanside Humane Society. Everyone treated me and the kitties with lots of kindness. The front office and exam room were clean. They explained everything they did. I think the rates they charged me were appropriate. I'm glad I came to them. Read Less

Me and my husband have been bringing our dogs here for 2 years going on 3 now and they have always been so kind to us !! The pet rewards card is totally worth it ! We only had one dog when we started here, after a year got another puppy and brought her through the same process. The vets have always been very gentle and understand that our dogs are australian cattle dogs and can be sketchy at times when they are scared but they give them time to relax and everything before they take them back. I would never want to take our dogs anywhere else 😊We just recently got them spayed and neutured here at a very resonable price. Any questions we've ever had coming here have always been answered. We are very thankful ! Read Less

We have been coming here since our dog was 8 weeks old! They always take care of our German shepherd and are super friendly. Also I love that they can almost always get you in for a same day appointment if needed. Read Less

This animal hospital was fantastic! I took my little girl here yesterday (Tuesday) morning at 8am to get spayed, and by 1030am they called me to let me know she got out of surgery and was recovering well. When I got there to pick her up, everyone was very helpful and friendly. They gave me post op instructions and sent me on my way. This morning (Wednesday) they called me to check up on her and make sure everything is okay, and I really appreciated that! I absolutely will be bringing my puppy back here for care. Read Less

Came here for the first time and they were so amazing! We called 15-20 mins before explained the emergency of the bump on our snakes nose and they immediately made time for us. We arrived and not even 5 mins and we got in the back and saw the doctor this place is amazing! 10/10 definitely recommend! Read Less

Fair, kind and honest! I am always so grateful for the treatment my dog receives from Mohnacky Animal Hospital in Escobdido. They never overcharge us. They give us the full perspective of any issue and choices of services before proceeding, which is critical! When we leave we are confident the doctor has been truthful, not price gouging and not guilting either (Not one of those doctors that try to do a plentitude of treatments unnecessary at the time and make you feel like bad if you don't fork out a ton of cash). They trust us to do what we can at the time and take it slow until we know the full scope of the illness, if any. Thanks guys! we never doubt that our Loosey is in good hands with you! Read Less

Prior to purchasing my dog I called the humane society and unfortunately they did not cover the specific dog I was going to get. They referred me to this veterinarian so I called and right away they were nice, gave me all the information I needed including their rewards program. When I got there the receptionist was very nice. We waited for a little bit and then were called back. While we waited it was nice that they had an area for my boyfriends son to play in. The dog had some complications and the doctor and nurse were very gentle and informative. The nurse that was helping us even gave me samples of what we needed to use. Although the dog had more problems than anticipated it was a very nice visit and everyone was so helpful and nice. Read Less

My husband did all the too and from with picking up my baby, but all I can say was the front desk receptionist were very nice and caring, my dog got spayed provided with a cone, and a cute bandana! And I even got a follow up call the next day to see how my baby was doing, which I appreciated!! No complaints here! Read Less

Mohnacky Animal Hospital in Vista is, by far, the best veterinary clinic I've ever taken my pets to! Everyone there is very professional and seems genuinely happy to assist you, and Dr. Simons is a very caring vet. I have four different pets that I take there for annual check-ups and as necessary, and have always received quality service and care. Dr. Simons will even show me what she saw on the x-rays so I can see for myself. They're also very understanding of financial situations and will work with you to keep prices low or create a payment plan. I cannot recommend this vet clinic highly enough! Read Less

Thank you very much to all Employees at Mohnacky. I brought my dog in today to get nutered. They were so helpful with everything. I will definitely be taking my pets here for check ups and anything else. Especially Thanks to Jessica for making us feel welcomed and making sure Mikey was comfortable. Read Less

I was so grateful and wanted to thank you from the "helping paws" program that they have .. with this program we were able to get our dog spayed. Thank you so much for all your support to our military members and family . That's so kind of you owner to have this program . Plus, in addition to this program, the service was excellent , all staff are so helpful specially the doctor in charge and nurse crystal for all their help to make it easy procedure to our dog. U guys amazing and ty so much for everything u do for our community. You are such a blessing to all of us that we know we have animal hospital does care a lot . Read Less

This place has been so understand and caring. I brought in a very timid, scared stray in and they have been so sweet and caring of her needs. Mary in particular was a lot of help and genuinely cared and took the time to talk with me and answer any questions that I had. Thank you! Read Less

This is the best place to take your loved ones. I boarded my Kricket (8 mo) for the first time ever. 5 days and when I picked her up she was the happiest dog ever. I had to sit down so she could climb all over me with hugs, kisses and stories to tell. I'm so glad I found this location they truly have the best staff. Read Less

We have NEVER been to animal hospital quite like Mohnacky. Not only do they treat you and your furry family members like royalty, they are more thorough than I have ever experienced.  If you've ever wondered where all of the animal whisperers are...you need to experience this place.  We've lived in many cities and always seek out the best for our pets. Trust me when I say that the vet in SoCal had BIG shoes to fill following our move from Austin TX. Mohnacky did it in spades. They are a 100% class act and treat your pet as if it is their own.  Thank you MVH!! Read Less

I trusted this vet to exam my dog. I got a free exam with them because the humane society gave me a voucher. This exam turned into 240 bucks real quick. They want a expensive fecal test witch cost $85 bucks normally at any other vet it's like bucks. The gave my dog pills for a kennel cough $20 bucks times two. Then they talked me into paying $125 bucks for a rewards card to use with them. So apparently my dog was just fine he had something stuck in his throat that he expelled. The vet was a nice lady but she milked me for allot of money and did very very little. Oh to top it off a dental cleaning to get off tarter cost $595 bucks at this joint I would stay clear of this place. Read Less

Had a great experience here. With the Helping Paws program for military our services were free of charge. The staff was very friendly and helpful and our puppy had zero complications with her spay surgery. Will definitely recommend this program and hospital to anyone needing care. Read Less

I took my 4 month old golden retriever to the Vista location to get spayed through the Helping Paws program. They treated me and my dog incredibly well. We were taken back to a room and throughly explained the procedure and the Doctor preformed a wellness exam in front of me. The Doctor was very loving to my puppy and my puppy was so comfortable she didn't even hesitate going back with the Doctor. I could not be happier with this program. I even received a phone call the next day making sure my puppy was doing well. They offered the best package they offer completely for free to say thanks to military families. This family is extremely appreciative. I would not hesitate to take either of my two dogs to any of the these animal hospitals. If you are a military family or know a military family let them know about this program. It helps so much and our fur babies are like children to us. Their health is our number one concern and the doctors and assistants here are amazing. Thank you Dr. Mohnacky and everyone who contributed to the Helping Paws program. Read Less

Crooks...We have used Mohnacky for our German Shepherd over the years and have always had a bad taste in our mouths after we leave. This last time we took our dog there they charged us 200 dollars for some ear drops for an "ear infection". We originally came in because she had a bubble on the tip of her ear (a blood filled sac called a hematoma) which they said it would cost 1400 to fix. They then later told us that she had a fox tail in her ear which was the root of the problem for her injured ear. So they wanted a total of 1800 dollars for us to get treatment for our dog. We felt really uneasy with this and felt like we were getting conned so we decided to take her to another vet to get a second opinion. On our second evaluation, we brought the estimates they gave us and showed the other vet. He basically laughed and couldn't believe they tried to charge that much for such a simple procedure. He basically said he could remove the bubble by draining the fluid without surgery for 150. He then checked for her "fox tail" and said there wasn't even one in there! Don't fall for the "free vaccines" Mohnacky advertises! They lure you in with that but try and up sale you on everything including trying to sell you their dog insurance which is crap. They are the worst people who try and tug at your heart strings because they know people love their pets. Plus the front desk receptionist is totally condescending with RBF.  Stay away from these people. They will rob you blind. Read Less

This location is definitely much cleaner than the Carlsbad location but I had an appointment at 9:30am for my 2 yorkies that took forever! First of all I arrived and stood forever waiting for them check me in. Then someone else arrived and she was a talkative and pushy lady so they checked her in first even though the receptionist acknowledged I was first. Okay, I could forgive that they didn't wanna deal with that annoying old lady and I let it go BUT I wasn't taken to the exam room until 10:25. Once there then I had to wait for the Vet to do a checkup which lasted 5 minutes for 2 dogs. She left saying she would be right back to get the dogs to get them vaccinated and I proceeded to wait 25 minutes until someone else came back in to quote me the price and then leave saying, "someone will be right in to vaccinate them". I finally walked out of there a full 2 hours later. It's ridiculous! Mohnacky is definitely not what it used to be! Read Less

I love coming here for my dogs. They have a rewards card which is fantastic, especially when you have a repeat offender like my dog is. They are very caring with my dogs and they remember us every time we come in. They are expensive, but then again the quality is top notch, and it's just a few minutes away from my house. They are very accommodating as well, because I've had to reschedule a whole lot, sometimes last minute. I would absolutely reccomend them to anyone. They definitely take pride in their work, and they love animals. Read Less

I woke up one morning to my baby having diharrea and drooling. My first instance led me to some research that told me to give her imodium, which helped but she was still laying around. I called her vet at Mohnacky and they told us to bring her in. This is where the horror began. We brought her in, at first her exam was normal according to the vet but she insisted that we did a work up of blood work, x-ray and stool testing and quoted us for meds which came up too close to $600.00. This is NOT something we can afford right now, the vet just said her exam was normal so why does she need all of these meds. They explained to treat her for bacteria or a stomach whatever and if it goes away then she'll be fine. Ok we opted out with the blood work and the meds total $300. While leaving she had a accident in front of the business, when the lady came out to clean it she noticed "blood". So my husband got scared and told them to get a sample now we are at $80 more. Now we are on our way home, she's fine still not active. We get home and the hubby gives first rounds of meds, the pain meds tremidol was too freaking strong. And she began to drool to where it was  uncontrollable. So they were already closed, I called asap in the morning and they told me to bring her in. When I  did the lady at the front was RUDE, because we were late yes they expected us to get from camp pendleton to Vista in 15 min. Then the vet told us to leave her while they go to lunch. Another quote came out for something close to $400 for visit and x ray to make sure she was not "obstructed". My husband agreed. While gone we got a phone call saying we need to come back its urgent that they speak with us. When we arrived the first x ray didn't work now they need one with contrast. My poor husband began to cry his eyes out because she is showing us an x ray pointing to a possible "twist in our baby stomach. She wasted no time shoving a quote down our throats for a x ray with contrast a surgery and a stay in the hospital, which would happen somewhere else because they are closed on Sundays. Now they send in the office manager to discuss payment. So I explained to her we don't have money, we are lucky the care credit was approved because we have no credit everything we own is in our parents name. I'm a college student and he is military. She says" well can you guys call someone". I said yes we've been calling home but our parents isn't available. So she asks me if I want to at least try for a citi card. I told yes I will try! Didn't get approved so our next option because they were closing was some place the office manager recommend that helps if the dog needs surgery and already have a diagnosis paid the $400 and something dollars for what they did and we dashed out...  We get to the other place and it's the California veterinary specialist. So we give  everything that was supposed to be given to them and I asked what's the cost now? Do you guys still have the program that helps with surgery? The lady at the front desk says " $90 for visit and no its the weekend so the program isn't available. But as she was explaining everything to me my mom called and she over heard. Jumped right online applied for the care credit and got approved for $10,000. So, They took her back did the exam and compared it to what Mohnacky had on file. Let's just say it was explained that  the drooling was a side effect of one of the medications. She was dehydrated, but over all fine a very HEALTHY dog. Something or some what of a stomach bug but NOT an obstruction. No need for an x ray with contrast because her x ray Mohnacky gave did NOT show  a twist in her stomach. We left out of there spending $150 if that.  Which came with a week supply of food to change her diet and a military discount. Got home told my neighbors and guess what, their dogs had a stomach bug too! All a waste of money!!! This is why I am so upset and furious, Honey has been seeing the vet at Mohnacky since she was a puppy. They have watched her grow. She will be 2 yrs in November. So they really know her. They knew that my children and husband would literally die if something was to happen to her, hell I would too that's my daughter my only girl in between 1 man and 2 mini men! I feel we were taking advantage of. And to make matters worse NO ONE FROM MOHNACKY HAS CALLED to even follow up with us about Honey and it's been a whole MONTH. We trusted them with our baby, our family and they used that to the best of their advantage. I will never ever bring my baby back to this place and I will never refer anyone to them. My husband and I are frequent donors to helping paws but never again. They don't care about the services they gave it's all about the money!!!!One star how about none, classless place of business and yes I will be taking this to the Better Business Bureau!!! Read Less

Dr didn't even seem to LIKE animals! He sure didn't try to make friends with mine. He never even acknowledged her when he came in the room. Then he muzzled her when he tried to touch her sore spot and she jerked!!! He didnt even check her out, just said she needed a $1600 surgery! He was very condescending and gave us a lecture on how to train our dog!! Read Less

I LOVE these people.  Dr. Marcin is great, and the office staff is stellar and I wish I could keep going here, but they are just too expensive.   I know you get what you pay for, but I have to try other options to at least see if I can get my cat treated at a more reasonable price.  They don't have ultrasound onsite, so if you need that they have to call somebody in which drives up the price.  Mohnacky quoted $420.  I called two other places ... another calls in the ultrasound tech for $350 and the 3rd place does it onsite for $98.00.  Guess where I'm going?I feel bad because in two short visits, I feel attached to them but they have to be more competitive pricing wise.

I brought my Dotty girl in today (03/01/16) after she stopped eating and didn't seem her happy puppy self. The team at Mohnacky Animal Hospital did an amazing job diagnosing what was making her sick. She had two objects in her tummy and intestine. Dr. Behm performed surgery and did an amazing job. Dotty is home recovering tonight thanks to Dr. Behm and the incredible staff at Mohnacky. I am so thankful my pup got the best care and that she will be feeling better soon. Read Less

I called in time of emergency, they didn't pick up or the number that's listed is incorrect, or SOMETHING, but now my dog is dead. She didn't get the help she needed or could have gotten, she's dead now. I don't know what to do. They COULDN'T ANSWER THE PHONE. And now, she's dead.Read Less

Brought our girl in today for the their helping paws program and our girl is doing great. All the staff was so nice and welcoming. I will be recommending them to all of our friends and family in the area Read Less

I love all the girls.... However dr kitt is by far my most favorite. We've been lucky enough to get her for the past 9 months, she is so kind patient always in a great mood; makes me feel like my baby girl is in wonderful hands. Read Less

I brought my cat in for uti. They said she needed emergency surgery or she would die from bladder stones & wanted $4000 to do it. Obviously I couldn't afford it. Talked to a friend who sent me to another vet. No surgery! Just a prescription diet & an antibiotic shot. Had a similar situation with my dog where they wanted $5000 to do surgery on her. After the cat incident, 2nd vet did surgery for $1500. Dr Martin at ABC in San Marcos is great! Read Less

DO NOT come here, it was a horror story, for me unfortunately. I am ashamed of having come here and having your poor medical team make my puppy suffer. Long story short because i could rant all about how upset i am with this hospital but its not worth my time - My dog was spayed here and got a really bad infection, the only reason i came here was for the helping paws program for active duty members, which covers a free spay, presurgical bloodwork, and IV cath/fluids. Great, so i went for it. When i looked at her sutures it looked like and un-experienced technician had sutured, and a few days later is when the infection flared up and the sutured area was extremely swollen( i wish google would let me upload a pic ) . Not sure what they used, maybe the surgical scrub, or if it was the nylon sutures she was having a reaction to, which is common. I called to make an appointment because i was extremely concerned this was happening to my pup and she was in discomfort, and the receptionist told me they couldn't accommodate to see me when i had gotten off work ( which was still within their business hours) even though my dog was uncomfortable and the next available appointment was the next morning and i would have to pay 58 dollars for an office visit. I am surprised at the receptionist that should have some knowledge of veterinary medicine that she turned me down and didn't know the severity of the manner when i was telling her my dog was in discomfort and what was going on. Later on i got a call from the doctor apologizing and having her tell me to bring my dog in, but informed her i already had her taken care of. She insisted I come the next day, for her to look at my dog for free, but i of course did not go... NO WAY. To continue, She now is in great care with a different doctor, and if the swelling does not subside there is a possibility the doctor will have to re-suture due to the poor quality of suturing and reaction. I understand this procedure was free, but it could have been done well, especially if it was to benefit service members. My chief argument is that just because it was free, and due to my pet suffering i should not have been treated different than any other client and should have had the opportunity to have have had my suffering pup seen by the doctor that did the surgery , but was turned down during business hours by their receptionist. Again Mohnacky hospital , with my deepest regrets, I am ashamed of having come here and having your poor medical team make my pet suffer.Read Less

The best trip ever to the vet today. Dr. Murphy, Nurse Dani, and the rest of the staff were amazing! Our visit was for a neuter with their military Helping Paws program and they were so very patient with my very nervous furbaby. Dr Murphy spent about 30 minutes giving him the opportunity to calm down and get to know them. Everyone was very compassionate and helpful. We have definitely found the right place with the right staff and quality care for our loyal companion.Read Less

I just met Dr. Mohnacky because I live behind the building, but before we even lived there we went to that vet. At least 6 years plus. I also shop and get my nails done in the building he owns. He was the nicest guy :-). Always the nicest people there! Read Less

I was looking for a new place to take my cat for her checkups and what really caught my eye about Mohnacky was that they had a feline friendly practice. They had a separate entrance and examination area just for cats, which I think is amazing. Dr. Behm and all the Vet Techs are meticulous and you can tell they all really care about the wellfare of their furry patients. They are knowledgeable open, friendly and very easy to work with. The communication is wonderful and they keep you updated every step of the way. Read Less

I would recommend the entire staff here except for Dr. Anderson. It's really too bad he works there still after what he did to us. The rest of the staff is fabulous though. I would recommend the lady Dr. She took really good care of our little Penelope and the rest of the staff was so understanding as we almost lost her. They did everything they could to comfort us and get her back home with us! Read Less

I had never been here before and I brought my older cat in because she had stopped eating and drinking. They didn't hesitate to get me in, even though I knew they didn't have any official appointment times available. Every single person that helped us was genuinely trying to make Rose feel better. They put together a great plan of care that was relatively inexpensive and immediately helped Rose. When they took her back for shots and bloodwork, I could hear how much love they gave her to calm her and make everything as quick and painless as possible. Thank you so much! Read Less

Having had a bad experience with another vet, I was cautious my first visit with Dr. Murphy. My dog isn't naturally compliant or friendly, and he was being seen for an injury. Dr. Murphy DIDN'T have me lift him onto the table (which would have upset him greatly), she sat on the floor to examine him. Everyone in the office was wonderful with Scrappy, and I'm thrilled to once again have a vet I trust. Hopefully, my fur-family will be Dr. Murphy's patients for life! Read Less

What an AWESOME experience. First time at the VIsta location (normally Carlsbad). The clinic was CLEAN, the staff was extremely friendly and professional and my dog, Toby was wagging his tail from the minute we went in until we left. That should say something for this office! Thank you to all. Toby LOVES his new lady doctor :-) Read Less
