They are very compassionate with my bunny, who is newly paralyzed. They gave me a lot of resources and taught us how to properly care for him. They cleaned him and shaved some of his fur to make it easier for us to keep him clean at home. Dr. Roberts answered all of my questions thoroughly. Vanessa is so sweet and took great care of our Teddy. I was told Teddy was even giving them kisses while he was being cleaned. He also had his first laser treatment. This clinic doesn't exist just for business they truly care about every fur family. They even endorsed other vets who offer additional treatments for Teddy, and I really appreciate that.

All the Vets do a great job of caring for our animals. They also helped us when our bunny passed. They were compassionate during our difficult time.

I was able to get a next day appointment for my dog, who suddenly has woken up with a cloudy eye. I gotta a quick diagnosis which was high eye pressure (glaucoma) We did prescribed medication right away but only one eye responded well, unfortunately the other one had to be removed. First Dr Mason was very knowledgeable and open about pricing and such… The tech Lindsay helped me setting up his upcoming prescriptions. Dr Linda performed his surgery and it was amazing, they even clipped his nails which he would never let me. I think it was very thoughtful! I uploaded some photos of his surgery day and the recovery through the weeks… Thank you team from palomar, for helping my pup!

I found this place as an emergency for my pet since my vet wasnt opened on Sundays. Kiddos for great service from the front desk person and the 2 who helped my little Roscoe. I am so happy to say that this is my new go to place for my animals. I have also gave recommendations to everyone I know. Thanks for a great experience. We will definitely be back.

I always feel a little nervous when it comes to vet care for exotic pets, but this clinic completely put me at ease. Dr. Roberts was absolutely amazing with my bunny, Gus. She was incredibly thorough, gentle, and took the time to explain everything during his exam, which made me feel so confident in his care. The vet tech, Lindsay, was also fantastic! Cheerful, kind, patient, and clearly knowledgeable. And although I didn’t catch the front desk gal’s name, she was wonderful as well. Friendly, welcoming, and so helpful from the moment we walked in. Making the appointment was super easy since I was able to book online, and I really appreciate that they offer weekend appointments and an online pharmacy that is actually cheaper than Chewy. That convenience makes such a difference. I am beyond pleased with this vet office and completely trust them with my bunny. It’s such a relief to have a place I feel confident bringing my exotic pet to. Highly recommend!

Great for routine services. But please if your pet is having something more serious going on search help from specialists at VCA, Freddies Place or elsewhere. The Staff here are very friendly at Palomar Animal Hospital, but Unfortunately for our kitty we should’ve went elsewhere when he started to have anemia. With one appointment elsewhere we found very serious concerns that we may have found too late to help.

I cannot say enough about how grateful I am for Dr. Nissen and the entire staff here. Their kindness, expertise, and thoroughness truly saved my bunny’s life. The level of skill and care they showed was extraordinary, and I felt reassured every step of the way. Before finding this clinic, we had been to another vet who unfortunately almost cost my rabbit his life. The difference in knowledge and attention here was night and day. I am so relieved and thankful to have found a team who genuinely understands and cares for exotic pets. If you want compassionate, knowledgeable, and truly skilled care for your rabbit or any pet, I cannot recommend Dr. Nissen and this wonderful staff highly enough. They gave my bunny a second chance, and I will always be grateful. Today he’s a happy, healthy and loving little guy (who only occasionally throws temper tantrums) just as he was before ❤️
