Reh Shannon B Dvm - Rancho San Carlos Pet Clinic

I had a wonderful experience with the vet, the boarding and the grooming. The vet did not try to upsell, I took my dog to a different vet for the same problem and the it was about $300 cheaper here! I boarded my dog there for the weekend and he was in good spirits when I picked him up- I had boarded him somewhere else and he seemed traumatized by it. I also risked the grooming because of my other good experiences, and I'm pretty picky about the grooming. The groomer was not there when I dropped him off so she called me to clarify what I wanted when she got in and did a wonderful job. Highly recommend. I drive all the way from PB to take my dog here!

I bypassed my normal vet because I live a lot closer to this one. I walked in without an appointment with my chocolate lab and they saw me very quickly. The vet Jeff Reh was super friendly and very good at explaining everything that was going on with my dog. The best thing was that they called me the next day to make sure my dog was doing ok. I thought this was amazing customer service.

This husband and wife team are great. Very kind and Gentle. They have never pushed me to buy anything. They know I have limited income and give me all the options available and respect my decisions if I decide not to do something. Their Groomers are top notched as well.

This couple is extraordinarily caring and precise. A soft tissue sarcoma was quickly identified a few years ago on my little dog and she was immediately referred to appropriate surgeons! She had a great recovery!

They continue to stay up to date on testing and other procedures to keep pets healthy! That's what I want for my precious dog!

I have had great experiences with Rancho San Carlos Pet Clinic. It is now a husband and wife team--they recognized unusual symptoms in my cat and the condition was promptly treated. When my prior pet was very sick, they suggested another center that had specialized treatment. A satisfied customer.

PROS: Husband/wife team, caring, good grooming, flexible hours
CONS: a bit pricey, but they have discount days.

I wouldn't recommend this vet because they want you to buy extra, unnecessary services. For instance, they recommended I get my dog a med for heartworm and fleas. Before prescribing it, I had to pay for a blood test to ensure she didn't have heartworm. At the end of the year, before renewing the RX, they wanted her to take another blood test. "She's been taking the anti-heartworm all year, she shouldn't have heartworm," I said. They would not do it ,so I switched vets.
My new vet said that there are NO cases of heartworm in San Diego County and therefore that this med is unnecessary- but I could get it if I wanted to. I was appalled that this vet would prescribe something that has no value in this area.
A friend had a similar problem with this vet and his cats, but I won't speak on hearsay, just on what happened to me.
I got the feeling they were interested in making as much money as possible under the guise of it being good for your pet and "guilting" you into spending more.
