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

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 doesnt 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

I am very Thankful for ABC VET.. I took Dante here after we had to go to Pet Urgent Care for a continuous problem he has. They retested-him & come to find out his blood work was normal. They gave Dante antibiotics & pain meds He was back to his ole self in no time
I appreciate you squeezing us into your busy schedule. Now its time for another. Dante needs to be neutered . See you soon
