Pet Hospital Of Penasquitos

Dr. Caron is an amazing vet! My guinea pig was having cardiac issues and she got us in right away. She was so great with my pig, the whole staff was! I definitely recommend this vet!

Such a great experience, found them because I needed a vet who would see my rabbit, and after bringing my rabbit here I knew I needed to bring my senior cat here as well. Really kind and thoughtful care!

My hamster had prolapsed cheeks and this was one of the few places that took in small animals. Dr Caron and all the staff here are very kind and caring! I was very impressed and happy to know my hammy was in good hands.

Took my chameleon since it was not looking good. I was told she was cold, poor thing, and i got a lot of information and instructions on what to do to get it better and what improvements i needed to make in her enclosure. I got an appointment right the next day and it was not as pricey as i was afraid to.

I honestly don't know how they could make my experience any better. They have cared for my little Yorkie since he was 3 months old. They have always been patient, sweet, and loving towards him, even sending a Birthday card each year. My little Bentley has had a lifelong complicated case, with his intestinal tract. Drs Boyer and Mendez have always been very good about explaining everything to me and following up with me on how he is progressing.

When necessary the don't hesitate to utilize specialists. For Bentley, my tiny 15yr old Yorkie they had an ultrasound specialist come in to check his intestinal tract. I truly trust their knowledgeable staff and expertise.

Dr. Barton and his staff gave excellent care to our cats and our guinea pig. They were kind, honest, thorough, and fairly priced. We have moved out of state and I am struggling to find another vet that is comparable.

Our rescued bearded dragon was stressed out and had trouble breathing. We took him to these fine folks, who were able to diagnose him with pneumonia. Unfortunately, we had to leave town, and left our little guy in their care for two weeks. They took great care of him, and when we returned, he was content and chill. they left us with the remaining antibiotic injections we needed to administer, and he seems like a happy dude now. So glad these folks never made it a problem, and took such great care of us.

Honestly a mixed experience. I have a 26 year old snake and he hadn't eaten for the past 4 - 5 months so I came in expecting an assisted feeding to encourage my Rosey Boa to eat again or atleast some direction on what's happening. I had to wait by my car for over 3 hours to get information about my snake (set a previous apt at 10 am was there for 3 hours).

They told me info about my snake's tail being damaged and needing an x-ray. After the X-ray they mentioned the possibility of needing an amputation, further bloodwork, and considering the possibility of euthanasia. I've had this snake since I was seven and was obviously a mess trying to figure out the right path, they were kind of cold in telling me and the prices for all the processes were quite high ($60+ for Check up, $250+ for XRay, $250+ for Bloodwork). Considering my snakes age, I opted out of bloodwork and just asked for pain medication and their recommendation for when to euthanize if my snake still wasn't eating.

They said they'd give me pain medication for a month and if my snake hadn't eaten by then it'd be time for him to go. They actually only gave me pain medication for two weeks, luckily my snake just started eating again and seems to be doing well after the two weeks, but the bill was over $400 for something I thought would just be assisted eating. My snake had also been to this hospital multiple times before (when I was a young kid) and they didn't maintain any record of his previous visits which I believe could've avoided the need for an xray, as he had been to the hospital before for tail damage by a mouse.

The nail in the coffin that made me write this review is that they won't stop sending me spam email for discounts about dogs and cats for which I never signed up for and tried unsubscribing but couldn't. In the end, their help did indeed save my snake (for which I am very appreciative) but it wasn't a great experience overall.

So grateful that Mysti was able to squeeze Daisy, our beloved guinea pig, in for an appointment. She had stopped eating, was weak and we didn't know what was wrong with her. Dr. Mendez was able to diagnose her illness and nurse her back to health. I also learned which veggies are good for her to eat and the quantity. Megan and the other staff was so nice and friendly and I could tell that they really cared about my pet. Prices are reasonable. I would highly recommend the Pet Hospital of Penasquitos!

Our guinea pig Egg Nog was bloated almost twice her usual size and had stopped eating. The vet said she was about to die--even with surgery the odds were against her. He said, however, that he'd had a similar case a couple years ago in which he'd lost a guinea pig, from which he'd learned some lessons. He was able to minimize surgery time, even while extracting a 2 pound cyst the size of my fist, and gave Egg Nog an excellent post-op plan. Today, 4 months later, Egg Nog is thriving as if nothing had ever happened, and much appreciated by her sister Nutmeg (not shown).
