  • Kate Budosh

I started bringing my dog here about 4 years ago. I saw the same few vets, techs, and front desk staff and they were absolutely great. I literally thought of them as friends and I could genuinely see my pet’s care was top priority. The past 2 years or so the entire staff has changed over multiple times and I’ve never seen the same vet or any other staff. My dog’s eye was swollen shut and I called to make an appointment and they didn’t have an appointment for a few days out so I asked what I could do to bring him comfort in the meantime and I was met with “we can’t recommend anything until we see him” and then made the entire remainder of the conversation about collecting credit card info in case of a late cancel. Most recently I reached out because my dog got an ear infection. We’ve been down this road a million times before, I know he just needs an antibiotic and he’s good to go. They denied my request for an antibiotic via chewy and said he needs to be seen, I proceed to tell them I don’t have the finances or the ability to get off of work to make that happen. They reply back saying well, sorry, an appointment is $79. Anyway, I got a prescription for myself and his ear infection is gone. If you want anything done either do it yourself or go to a different vet.

When my vet retired I needed to find a new one. I called ABC Veterinary and was able to get an apt the next week. They had a simple on line process to submit info about my two dogs. They contacted the previous vet to get their records. When we arrived we were warmly welcomed at the counter and the receptionist came around to greet my dog and offer treats. I was promptly taken into a room where an equally friendly technician came in to get vitals. I was impressed with the high tech equipment and loving way my Pollee was treated. When Dr Zaranek came in you could feel her love of animals. She gave Pollee an exam and was very honest about the needs of my 14 year old dog. I love that she is so up to date on new practices. She even offers acupuncture for pets! I go to acupuncture myself but never knew someone who did it on animals. I can’t speak highly enough about the way everyone made me feel like my dog and I were part of the family. I am so glad I decided to give them a try. They are located in Pacific Beach which can have parking issues but ABC Vet has their own parking lot by the front door. Highly recommend.

  • Dita Whitelock

We had come across ABC Veterinary Hospital during our search for a vet that certifies dogs for travel abroad. Doctor Margaret Christiansen and her staff were absolutely amazing in helping us obtain the proper paper work in timely manner. The young lady at the front desk was extremely knowledgable and well versed in the complexity of flying with a dog to Europe. She had been a life safer from the moment she picked the phone till the time of pointing me to the nearest FedEx office in PB. Doctor Christiansen herself was a very pleasant and gentle lady. Actually, everyone at the office made us feel welcome and was super helpful. The cost of this certification was the cost of a visit plus a USDA filing fee, together all under $150; other vets in San Diego quoted us $700. The certification process is not for the faint of heart as it involves filling out sheets of paper work, having a registered vet certify the information, overnighting it to USDA, and other pleasures. This veterinary hospital made it a pleasant event and our family is forever thankful to them for that.

  • Jacob Solomon

I recently took my dog to ABC Veterinary and was thoroughly impressed with the level of care and professionalism provided. From the moment we walked in, the staff was friendly and welcoming, making both myself and my pet feel right at home. Not only did every staff member take the time to listen to my concerns and answer all of my questions thoroughly, but the office was extremely clean and well-maintained. During the appointment, my pet received top-notch care from Dr. Christiansen and was treated with kindness and compassion. I also appreciated the thorough explanation that came with each aspect of my dog's checkup. Overall, I highly recommend ABC Veterinary to anyone looking for excellent veterinary care for their furry friends. They go above and beyond to provide the best possible experience for both pet and owner!

  • Joanna Marin

I don’t know where to start, but I am extremely grateful for the whole team at ABC veterinarian Hospital. On April 19, I had to put my little guy to sleep since he had reached an age where he was no longer able to continue. I came in and right away they took care of him and I. The Vet told me Romeo was in pain, and because they are our most loyal companion he will never show me the amount of pain he was really in. She was so caring and informed me of the whole process, I never felt rushed nor unseen. I couldn’t have gone anywhere better to let my little guy to rest. I will always be extremely grateful for the team at ABC Veterinary. This was my first appointment with them but I wish it wouldn’t have been my last. Thank you all for making me feel safe with my little guy, and for caring for us as much as you all did.

  • Nicole Rachelle

Unfortunately we have not had a good experience with ABC vet. Almost every time I called to schedule an appointment I am told by them to try somewhere else. Any time I called with worry they would recommend other clinics instead. When I finally got my dog an appointment (by showing up to get medication and they now insisted on her staying for a drop off visit) they recommend we do blood work and was told that she was fine and the blood work gave no concern to the vet. I got a second opinion and the vet notice multiple things that could be causing my dogs stomach issues when she looked at the blood work. Extremely frustrating to force them to take care of their patients and when work is done they rush through and have no knowledge or experience to share. Would never recommend please try anywhere else.

  • Christina Schweighardt

The Pacific Beach location is absolutely incredible! My dog, George, does not like new people and is a bit reactive to those who try and touch him that he doesn’t know and ABC Vet has worked so well with me and George to make sure he still receives the care he needs. I had gone to another vet before them, and that vet had completely dismissed me and George and spoke down to me for him being reactive instead of trying to come up with a solution. Even on the first visit to ABC Vet I knew it was going to be an amazing experience. Each person I have interacted with are of course cautious with George but have never spoken badly to me and instead work with me to come up with better ways to make George comfortable. I can’t say enough how much I love going to them! Could not recommend them enough!

  • Maria Dawes

My favorite vet hospital I’ve taken my dog to. They are always so welcoming and make you feel comfortable. I never feel pressured or pushed into having to add on extras. They’ll give you options for sure but they don’t pressure you into the most expensive one, which I highly admire in business. My Penelope loves the whole team there. Not to mention they put up the names of every animal they’re seeing that day on a chalk board…how cute is that?! The wait times and their ability to get my pup in was phenomenal. They also made sure to let me know they were a bit understaffed and apologized for any wait times but I didn’t mind at all because I just appreciated being able to get in in the first place. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a professional, caring vet hospital.

  • Bridgee Waller

My experiences with vets in the past haven't been the greatest. But I have to say, having my dog being cared for at ABC vet has been such a positive experience in spite of the circumstances being so difficult. Not only have I been impressed by the doctor's, especially Dr. Christensen, but the entire staff showed us so much love and care throughout the entire process. You can tell everyone that works there truly loves their job. I can't say thank you enough for everything they did for me and my sweet boy, or how much he enjoyed every time he visited them. I have never had a dog be more thrilled to go to the vet, but he loved to see all his best friends and get lots of treats. I'm so grateful I found them, and that Lowrider had you all to care for him ❤️

  • Tim Lyon

These folks here at ABC are excellent. I had taken my 10lb Cairn Terrier Dexter here for the first 5 years after I adopted him until I moved up to Long Beach. My dog not only was never afraid/ timid to go for a visit, he actually was pretty excited to go every time. I sincerely appreciate their entire warm, canine-friendly staff with a special note of appreciation for Charla & Emily who were as pleasant as they were professional. The veterinarians here were always knowledgeable, considerate, & went above & beyond to make my fuzzball feel right at home. I didn't realize how fortunate I was to have ABC as my vet until I moved to Long Beach & now my dog no longer enjoys his vet visits. ABC Veterinary Hospital gets 5 stars from me.

  • Ally B

AMAZING VETS/ VET STAFF!!!! Charla is incredible at holding down the front office and always remembers my cats. I have had nothing but great experiences here. The reason I chose this vet is because of their use of pheromone diffusers in their patient rooms. One of my cats really enjoys that. After establishing care here, I additionally got one of my cats spayed and the other came from an abusive home so I had to anesthetize and shave her down here as well. I was nervous for Nyx to get anesthetized because of the associated trauma for cats with this procedure but it went very well for her. Both of my cats are very happy and healthy and I highly recommend this vet office! Thank you all so much for taking care of my cats :)

  • Kathy Sanchez

I have been looking for a new vet for sometime. Our vet of 15 years retired. I was looking for good bed side manner, reasonable pricing, ability to be able to get in without having to wait weeks. ABC Vets in PB met all those critieria. I have dogs and cats. My first visit was with a stray mama cat that I decided to take in. I needed to get her in for a checkup and vaccines. I called and they scheduled me that same week. The staff and vet were all super nice. The vet advised me on how to help mama take care of her kittens. On our 2nd vaccine follow up, I was in and out in 15 minutes. They didn't charge me to see the vet just for the shots. I love that. With everything so exspensive, I appreciate that.

  • Karen Vences

Alyssa, Karen and all staff have been incredibly helpful! I honestly can't thank them enough for guiding us through obtaining our cat's USDA Health Certificate. International pet travel is a very tricky and stressful process and Alyssa went through it all until the end. She even continued to respond during her Thanksgiving Break!!! The staff here are genuine, caring and go beyond their roles to ensure our dear pets are taken care of. Please come here for your furr babies, they will absolutely have the best care. AND if you travel international, Alyssa is your person. She is an amazing expert AND a very supportive specialist. She really is INCREDIBLE! Thank you!!!!! Always Thank you!!

  • Jessica Ottemiller

We are SO thankful that we found ABC vet. Our large pup has some serious anxiety and is a bit tough to deal with. We’ve been unhappy with other vets in the past and are beyond grateful that we made the switch to ABC! We’ve been helped by Shawna a couple of times and she is a ray of sunshine! She is so friendly and is extremely patient and kind to our dog, Cruz. He seems much more at ease than he ever did with our other vets. We have also been very happy with the quality of care that has been provided. The whole team is wonderful at explaining every procedure and we feel very confident that Cruz is in good hands. We wish we would have made the switch sooner!

  • Ben Ginsburg

Like Kate Budosh said, this place used to be great. The staff and doctors I have seen have always been really nice. But about the same window Kate mentioned, they have just gotten ridiculous with upcharges and making things more difficult. I'm writing this review right now because of their new "we have to charge you $75 just to set up an appointment" rule that they claimed has been in place for a year, but I don't believe was the case since both my cats have had appointments this year. I'm not looking forward to my appointment where they are going to charge me hundreds and hundreds of dollars just to tell me the problem I already know my cat has.

  • Kelly Butler

Great service! Everyone is very nice and clearly cares a lot about the animals. They have an after-hours texting service which has been really helpful since my cat injured his paw. He’s also needed a few impromptu emergency trips during the day and they’ve been very accommodating. They always remember what’s going on with my cat and offer good recommendations. They are also careful not to overcharge me for services I don’t need and even remind me to do things that will lessen the cost (e.g., bringing my cat’s splint in with me so I don’t have to pay for another one). My cat is definitely in good hands. Overall great service and people!

  • Lena Illig

ABC Vet is the best. You've taken care of my cat and dog and provided such great care to my babies, Simba and Kodiak. I love going to you. I had to go to another hospital this week for an emergency procedure and they basically told me that I had to get a medical procedure done or I could euthanize my cat. The bedside manner was horrible. I brought my cat to you guys and you just have amazing care for my baby, Simba. I love you guys so much. You don't understand how much I appreciate you. You guys are truly the best. I am sorry that Simba can be sassy and Kodiak has a fear of vets, but you've really taken excellent care of them.

  • Kaitlyn Robinson

We took our kitten here when she was just 6 weeks old and have been taking her here ever since. The care is always exceptional and they go over the price of care and what treatments are optional every time before moving forward. Pricing is VERY reasonable compared to all of my friends vets when it comes to shots, dewormer, and surgeries. When our cat had to get fixed they did preliminary tests, watched her for 8 hours post-surgery, and called us to see how she was doing the next day. Our cat was in no pain at all and had no scaring. Excellent care, excellent provider. I would recommend them to anyone I know!

  • Adriana Gambriel

I have been to SEVERAL veterinarian offices due to my dog having kidney disease. ABC Veterinary Hospital Pacific Beach has been the most caring and welcoming office (for both pet and pet parent) I have visited! This is the first office that has not made me feel guilty or pressured into making quick health decisions for my pet. The vets/staff are very understanding of their pet parent’s emotional state and their different economical circumstances. ABC Vet is also very understanding of their pet patient’s emotional state :) and will work with them to get them comfortable before they examine them!

  • Aria Buns

The staff at this clinic are AMAZING !! They're patient and so so so kind, they explain everything and never seemed to tire of my endless questions, even the smallest ones. Dr. Z helped me when my dog desperately needed an emergency surgery. I felt so incredibly lost and the staff here helped me through all of it. They stayed after hours to help my sweet girl, and she made a complete recovery because of them !! I'm seriously indebted forever !! I cannot recommend them enough, if I could give more stars I definitely would :) ! Your doggies are in good hands with them.

  • Paul Z

ABC is my new veterinarian clinic! My cat Kiki is back on track to feeling normal and pain free. ABC identified the problem and prescribed all the right medication to get my cat feeling 100% again, thanks again So round two different cat (Sophia) thank you Dr. Christensen my fellow Texan, Sophia had a rough weekend of nausea and not eating for three days straight, took her in on a non scheduled appointment, Dr Christensen once again does her magic on my beautiful cat and Sophia is back to feeling normal again, thank you so so much!!

  • Mack R

Dr Christenson and the rest of the staff are amazing! Dr Christenson was thorough and covered all her bases with my dog Apollo. She treated him exactly how I would treat my human patients. She was trusted almost immediately based on her knowledge, honesty and efficiency. She went the extra mile to go over imaging studies with me given the worry on my face. I felt at ease after discussing my dogs plan of care with her and she gave me a sense of peace that allowed me to sleep knowing my dog was thoroughly examined and treated appropriately

  • Jenny Hofmeister

We love ABC Vet Pacific Beach and everyone who works there!!! Even though we have moved to a different neighborhood, we still take our dog here because we cannot imagine going anywhere else. Our dog is challenging (super high anxiety) and they are so patient with her and willing to adjust their approach to accommodate her behaviors. The staff are so kind and understanding, and very upfront about what things will cost. Dr. Christensen is the best vet that has ever treated our dog. I cannot recommend them enough!

  • mary conley

ABC Staff are all warm and friendly to not just the furry friend entering the office but to the pet parent as well. Eager to fully focus on the problem you are coming in for. Really listen, giving recommendations, options or take action plans you are comfortable with. Feels family oriented in their cozy little cottage house in PB. The have special discounts on pet food, treats, medication that are emailed to you several times a year and notify you when followups are due. You will love services at ABC ❤️

  • Frannie LaRussa

The Doctors and Staff took excellent care of Max during the last 5 years of his life and always welcomed him with a smile and a hug. They were knowledgeable and suggested vitamins and medications that helped to improve the quality of his life. They were honest and fair when it came to treatment options which is not always the case, and their sympathy and understanding helped us make difficult decisions for our precious pup. We had an excellent experience and would highly recommend them for your pets.

  • Fehung Ly

Excellent service, no complaints from me. Brought my two cats for 2 different issues, one was for a dental, the other was for a possible UTI in my 15 year old Male cat. Both cats are now doing much better and healthier! Prices are reasonable, and they are very willing to discuss what treatments/medications are recommended so that you don't feel forced into anything, which I really appreciate! Yes they can get busy but they will make sure your pet gets the best care possible!

  • Jazz

As new pet owners we did not know what to expect from our now 8 month old kitty. We wanted him to have the best care and we could not be anymore happier than to have brought him here. Since then, we have been bringing him in just for a nail trim. The staff is very caring, and friendly with our baby and also with us! Very attentive, professional, and knowledgeable when it comes to the needs of our pet. Definitely recommend this clinic. It is worth the drive for us.

  • Maria Tisei

Everyone is so friendly and kind. Cooper is in great hands here and I couldn’t be happier with the services they provide. They have gone above and beyond on more than one occasion. My 9 year old daughter wants to be a vet and she told them and they even took the time and energy to talk with her about it and show her some things and explain the “what and why” of the exam! I was very impressed! They definitely care about their clients and pets!

  • Sydney Tani

I've brought my dog to ABC Vet Pacific Beach 4 or 5 times now for various reasons and each time the staff have all been so friendly and patient with my anxious/undersocialized dog. Rates are reasonable/about average, but they don't try to push unnecessary expenses either. I'm very selective when it comes to any sort of care for my dog but they've earned my trust and I'll be bringing her here as long as I live in San Diego!

  • Ginger Gatling

We were traveling and our doggie started suffering from a bad ear infection. We were away from home for a few weeks so we went to this vet. We were very happy with them. They took good care of our dog and they also got him started on an allergy med for itching that is working great and a year later and he is still on the medicine they recommended. The pic is our dog on a boat in San Diego after the healed ear infection ;)

  • Stewart Wolfson

Started seeing Dr. Christensen at this practice with our new puppy. From the very first encounter we were impressed with the high quality of care and compassion our dog received. Office folks also very caring and professional. Their hours are also better suited to our schedules, and also make it easier to be seen on an emergency basis. So far, after about 6 months of using this vet practice, it's been all 5 Star quality.

  • Jenna Brossman Caprara

ABC Veterinary Hospital and their staff - Jodie specifically - is fantastic. I was moving to London for work and needed their help with the very complicated process of bringing my dog into the UK. Jodie made certain that all the details were correct and helped ensure the process went smoothly - despite having to do it all over again because I got COVID and had to reschedule. I cannot recommend Jodie and ABC Vets enough!

  • Janet Trontl

They are always friendly and helpful! A few months ago my 8 year old lab has a huge mass that desperately needed to be removed. I was told she might not make it and to be prepared for the worst. They work so hard to get my sweet girl through the surgery. They removed a 6 pound mass! She is completely healed now and a brand new dog! So happy and full of energy! Thank you so much to everyone at ABC Vet!

  • Kelsie Parrett

My 8 year old dog Dreux suddenly started complaining of pain and yelping when anyone got near him. We are new to the area and didn’t know where to take him. We were all afraid he was dying. We are so glad we took him to ABC Vet in PB. They identified a neck injury and prescribed an NSAID and muscle relaxant. He was back to himself again in two days. Thanks for taking such good care of our doggy boy!

  • Jena T

I wish Dr. Christiansen saw people patients too! The entire team - from the front office to the vet techs and doctors - are thoughtful, kind, professional and dedicated. They’ve worked with us for nearly a decade with two pups who have had complicated health issues. I highly recommend ABC Veterinary Hospital and am beyond grateful for the love and expertise they share with animals and their humans.

  • Danielle Eitel

I received professional and courteous customer service throughout the veterinary experience when taking my dog for an exam and echocardiogram. The vet staff kept me informed and provided a detailed price estimate. My dog was well cared for throughout his all day visit. The veterinarian was kind and knowledgeable. My dog responded to her well and he does not care for vets at all normally.

  • Isabella Mattiussi

My dog wasn’t feeling very well after eating some seashells. I called and the lady on the phone was incredibly sweet and professional all at once. She gave me all the info I needed and even provided a 24/7 emergency number. My dog felt better in the evening but I am reassured that I have this kind of veterinary personnel in my area. Will definitely use it when I need it next time.

  • Jen Schneider

I recently moved to PB and needed to find a vet. ABC was highly recommended and they did not disappoint! The first visit was a last minute one due to my dog's ear infection and they were able to fit me in with a few days. The next visit was a regular checkup. Scheduling was easy, appointments were available, and everyone was super friendly and accommodating!

  • Stephanie Minshull

Everyone at ABC is wonderful, and I especially love Dr. Christianson! She really cares and spends a lot of time with our pets to make sure they’re feeling their best. We recently lost a kitty after a long illness and they sent an especially kind sympathy card. Always a sign of a great vet office who really cares about your babies like they are family.

  • Michael Gallegos

Dr. Erica Johnson was professional, courteous, soft spoken, and treated my precious and beloved cat with sensitivity and gentleness. She also had an insightful recommendation on the treatment of my cat that was of tremendous benefit. I received helpful and caring attention from everyone I interacted with at this terrific clinic. I am very grateful.

  • Rebecca Charen

I can’t say enough good things about ABC Vet in PB. One of my favorite things is that they have enough vets on staff so there are actually appointments available compared to other vets. When my dog had a nail injury they gave us very personalized and thoughtful care. The staff, vets, and vet tech are all great. Highly recommend!

  • J.S

Started taking my two dogs here a few months ago and couldn't be happier. It is obvious from the time you walk in that the staff is passionate about animals. The technicians and doctor listened to all my concerns and made sure my dogs were comfortable the entire time. This will be my family veterinarian office going forward.

  • Marie Kracha

Dr. Christianson and staff were so wonderful to my chocolate lab Coco. They totally accommodated me in a stressful situation! I really didn’t want to go to the ER/VCS. Riva was so patient with all my calls!! No push on fee’s. Laid everything out for me and let me pick & choose what I wanted. Been a customer here for years!!

  • Barb Pace-Lamb

I had two boys that needed rabies vaccines. They also got nails trimmed and full physical! Great communication of all issues and our favorite Vet! ABC has been my animals vet for over ten years. Always treat my animals as their own. The staff is always ready to listen and advise on your loves issues with oodles of love.

  • Thomas Ford

Took my cat in for a first time check-up, examination was thorough, many questions regarding his health and behavior asked and answered, his health condition was good, recommendations were made by the Vet along with a prescription for special dietary needs. Overall, a very good experience with all employees at ABC Vet.

  • Cece Canton

My 12 yr old dog had to have his eye removed. I was very nervous. The doctors and staff at ABC were very informative and calming. My dog did very well with their great skill and care. I fully recommend them for any and all animal care! Dr Z is the best! Riva and Erica were very helpful and so was all of the staff.

  • Debby Merickel

For years I had been going to a different vet in the area but when I called to get a health certificate for travel they said they didn't do those anymore! Luckily I found ABC Veterinary Hospital who were very happy to do it in spite of how busy they were! Dog and I were both very happy with their services.

  • Elaine Murphy

ABC in Pacific beach has been our family’s vet for 30 years. Our kitties are known by the staff and get the very best care. We have had three generations of pets cared for through all stages of life. I can’t say enough about the kindness and humane nature of the team at ABC. We wouldn’t go anywhere else!

  • T V

I love ABC Vet hospital! Their facility is clean and inviting. The staff are wonderful and always remember your pets by name. The services are quick and my cat never looks stressed. I even moved and still make the trek across town just to continue bringing my pet there. Highly recommend!

  • Caymin Ellspermann

Amazing staff! Very informative and super sweet to your pet. I took my dog in to be updated on vaccines. They were able to do all of them and provided me with what to look out for. They will also send notices of upcoming vaccinations. Would recommend for any new pups in the area!

  • Vanessa Terry

We have been using ABC with our animals for the last 6 years and have never been disappointed with their care. They are very calming and sweet with our pets, very personal which means the world to us and must to the dogs because they love the staff and shower them with kisses.

  • Paty G

The entire team are so knowledgeable and kind. I living in La Quinta, CA far away from their clinic but I took my service dogs their for evaluation and to prepare all documentation for international travel and all was so perfect make me to decided to never go to another vet!

  • Lizabeth Hart

Everyone I interacted with here was very nice and hospitable as I was trying to get my dog to Hawaii. They were super helpful in making sure I had all the necessary paperwork so Sledgehammer wouldn’t have to quarantine when he got here. Thank you so much for all your help!!

  • Tyler Davis

I have been taking my dog here for the last year after having a bad experience at another nearby veterinarian. ABC has been amazing. They have a very friendly staff that is accommodating and thorough. I highly recommend putting your trust in ABC to take care of your pets.

  • Unexli

This place is great. Been taking our dog, Thor, here for going on two years, and every visit has been straight forward and informative. The secretaries/front desk staff are deal sealers in my opinion. Always patient and empathetic. Hard to imagine going anywhere else. ✌️

  • Donna Edwins

We love everyone at ABC Vetrinary Hospital in Pacific Beach. They treat our dog with such compassion and respect. He has an autoammune disease and they are so helpful trying to get him stable and well. I highly recommend them to take great care of your fur babies ❤️

  • Margaret Kloogh

ABC VET HOSPITAL’s Pacific Beach service is the very best. I’ve been taking my 2 cats there for 22 years and always very pleased with their great care. I highly recommend them. The staff are so tuned in to our pets needs and ours also. GREAT all around. …

  • helmutt sandiego

we like all of the above. My wife and I have used ABC since our first critter child over 45 years ago when we moved to PB. Even though staff have changed over the years the quality of care has been the highest. Great place to trust your special little friends.

  • Stephanie Delarosa

I would not hesitate to take my Yorkie here again ! Thank you for taking her right in with no appointment ! I appreciate how they kept her for observation and the excellent care and TLC she received ! Highly recommended ! Thank You Stephanie & Sassy …

  • Hannah Brietzke

Everyone at ABC Veterinary is kind and helpful. I recently underwent the process to bring my dog to Hawaii and all of the technicians, doctors and office staff were great. They genuinely enjoy seeing my dog and make both of us feel welcome and comfortable.

  • Cassie Hansen

Chewy loves ABC! I have been taking my dog to ABC Vet for 7 years and they have always taken amazing care of us. Front desk staff is so sweet and Dr.s are patient and take time to explain things to you and call back and check in how everything is going.

  • Brande Hutchinson

The team really took the time to make my pup feel comfortable & safe in their care while several tests were performed. I was kept informed of my options for treatment and very pleased with their dedication & service. I'd recommend to any pet owner.

  • Sarah D

Amazing community! They have taken such good care of my kitty, rocket and two animals. I pets sit for— Otis and Ginger when they were having emergency issues. It’s always a joy to come into this clinic! Thank you all for always making us smile :-)

  • Scarlett Meyers

Joey is a slightly reactive dog. They were so patient and sweet with him. I loved that they took their time with him instead of immediately just telling me I need to medicate him before his appointment. I’d go to them over Banfield any day!

  • Britney

I am going to rate this establishment a 10 out of 10!! Everyone who owns or has owned a fur baby understands the importance of medical care, everyone here treated my baby as if she was their own! Very friendly, welcoming and comfortable!

  • Bridget Bayer

I have been going to ABC Vet- PB for about a year! Unfortunately we moved to the east coast, but we would recommend this group to any pet owner! Our dog had some medical issues as a puppy and we always felt 100% safe leaving our dog in

  • Kasey Erokhin

Alyssa the manager was AMAZING with my dog Sammy! She was so helpful with finding the right diet plan for my little guy and very knowledgeable and patient with explaining why he was having tummie issues! I highly recommend ABC PB!

  • Jill Jones

We were so pleased with the excellent care our dog received at ABC Veterinary Hospital, the staff was so friendly and we received several follow up calls to check on him after his visit. He’s feeling great thanks so much ABC !!

  • Sarah King

Dr. Christiansen is such a great doctor! The staff is super friendly, accommodating and helpful. Gus is always nervous so they bend over backwards to reassure him and he responds a big tail wag. I highly recommend this place.

  • Desiree Homami

They were very accommodating to my pooch and me. My dog gets real anxious at the vet and we move a lot so we’ve had to change vets a lot, too. They were really quick and efficient and friendly. 10/10 would take my dog again.

Every experience over the years has been excellent. Caring staff has always been attentive, and sympathetic to our families needs while giving affectionate care to our pet cat Chulo. His life was much richer thanks to them.

  • Jim McKenzie

We had been fighting a resistant bacteria ear infection in our Cocker Spaniel for 8 months. Then we went to ABC in PB and the vets there eradicated it in a few visits. Very grateful and "our little girl" feels much better.

  • Anastassiya Leonova

I bring my pup to this Vet since he is was 2 months old. The kindest people work there and that’s the most import thing for me, to know that my child* is treated with love and care. I would highly recommend to everyone ❤️

  • Adrienne Abeyta

I love this place. The staff is helpful, the doctors knowledgeable and accessible, and the establishment is clean! Prices are fair and they take pet insurance. I feel confident knowing my loved ones are in trusting hands.

  • Kalena Garcia

The staff here are extraordinary and excellent. They go out of their way to take of your loving pet and you. I been with them for 2 years and no issues. Thanks Jodi, Sharla, Reva, the docs, and everyone!! Happy Holidays!

  • Mary Hinga

Dr Z was great! I regrettably went to Grand Animal Hospital and that was a nightmare! Everyone was so friendly at ABC VETS and treated Lucy so well! Very informative and easy! Can’t believe I took my cat anywhere else!

  • Megan Stull

Dr. Christiansen and the staff made our first visit so incredible. I've been a pet mom for over 10 years and hadn't found a vet I could trust until I was referred to ABC in Pacific Beach. Honest, ethical, affordable.

  • Diane Jones-Davidson

While on vacation my pup, a 15 yo Jackapoo developed urinary problems. She was examined and diagnosed quickly. Ample time was given for me to express my concerns. If, when, I relocate I will not hesitate to return.

  • Dan B

This place is the best! Trusted my babies with them for almost 10 years. Dr Christiansen is very caring and always straight forward with any diagnosis. Charla is beyond kind and caring. Best vet in San Diego!

  • Flora Merryfield

Amazing clinic. My old vet, thrive vet and now vetco, was no good. Didn’t seem to truly care about the animals or communicate properly. ABC vets was a quick 180. They are professional, efficient and caring.

  • Brittany Stelken

ABC vet staff is incredibly friendly, always helpful and so sweet to my pet. I have had a very easy time scheduling appointments. I’d recommend anyone looking for a great place to bring their loved pet!

  • Jaymes Spiekerman

Fantastic veterinary facility. The entire staff is friendly and welcoming and does everything to help make your visit comfortable. And the prices are fair. Your pet will be in good hands here.

  • B

Came here for a second opinion and are so glad we did. Dr J was thorough and willing to refer to a specialist, not just prescribe another round of antibiotics and wait and pray. Thanks Dr J!

  • Rebecca Moss

We loved our vet visit. Everything was simple, quick, and convenient. The price was very reasonable, and the staff was friendly and kind. We are thrilled to have found a great vet nearby!

  • Rui Wang

I wanted to get a quote for dog international travel certificate. All other vets just gave me the quote, but this vet asked for $75 consulting fee first, which is so ridiculous!

  • M Ravitch

Very happy with ABC so far. Was able to get an appointment very quickly. Prices are fair. The staff and doctor were all attentive, kind and thorough. Nice people. Will go back!

  • Ray Eller

Billy and Jasper love Char and Peggy. The boys have received the royal treatment from these two women for over ten years. Always a cheerful welcome and a great visit each time.

  • Cole Mayer

Great crew working there but Quite expensive. Definitely look online for any meds they try to sell you before buying there. Likely a 50% mark up in fleas, ticks and ear mites.

  • Andreas Kanya

Really nice, updated clinic with a great staff. Couldn’t ask for a better experience for my dog. They even gave us a treat on our way out. Thanks for making us feel cared for!

  • Thomas Zink

One of the best experiences with a veterinarian's office I have had.Everyone was polite, concerned, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. We will definitely be coming back.

  • Keith McCrone

We took our "Blue" to ABC for an ear issue and had a great service experience. He was diagnosed and treated quickly by their courteous and friendly professional vet staff.

  • Nicholas Smith

Abc took care of us and our dog until his very last breath. Very compassionate from our experience. All vets are expensive but for the most part they are fairly priced.

  • Christy Cunningham

Great environment. Extremely helpful and friendly staff! Acupuncture is excellent. Dr.Z is fab and extremely knowledgeable. Couldn’t be more pleased for my senior dog.

  • Naomi Kobayashi

Wonderful team who really took care of my two Shiba Inus (who can be a little sassy at the vet). They were so kind and caring towards the doggies. We will be back!!

  • Kaley Lovins

This place is great! Super conveniently located if you are in PB. The staff is amazing and so friendly. They are always so helpful and take great care of our pup!

  • L Mamer

I can’t say enough about nice this vet is. First, it is very clean and Dr. Christensen was beyond nice and knowledgeable. Our dog loved her too. Highly recommend.

  • Adrian Vargas

Great place, they treated my pup in no time and actually cured him of an infection they caught in time. I couldn’t thank them enough and now I have a happy pup!

  • Bret Baumbaugh

I felt like the people here really cared about my pet. We weren't treated like just another appointment and they didn't try to rush us out to get to the next.

  • Lita Doody

Dr. Z and the entire staff are phenomenal. My 16 year old chihuahua loves the staff and is always happy to be their. Thanks guys, for your excellent care!

  • Linda Ott

Dr. Christensen is a very kind and compassionate Vet. She takes the time to listen to all our concerns for our animals and does not rush the visit.
