Kensington Veterinary Hospital San Diego, California

In prep for our move to San Diego, I called three veterinary hospitals in the area based on my initial choices. I vetted these vet clinics by reviewing their websites and looked at reviews from others. Kensington was my #1 choice. I called twice and left a message. Their automated message stated they were not taking any new patients. I thought at minimum I'd get a call back. No call back. Once we got settled in San Diego, I called them back to see if their onsite groomer would at least take customers for a bath/cut. Again, no call back. They must be THAT busy and full since they can't return ANY calls. Move on from this business, if they can't do something simple as a call back.....imagine the kind of services they provide. I would recommend College Animal Hospital. You'll get to speak to a human. Her name is Danielle and she will take care of you. We've established pet care there and have enjoyed their team.

Very nice people, and although you would imagine they would have higher prices Kensington and all they don't they're very reasonable when you compare them to other places. I also have noted more thorough examinations and a higher level of competence overall. They seemed to genuinely care.

My first experience was a really good one. Paula was extremely nice and very helpful in taking care of us getting us up and running.

We love the doctors and staff at KVH!

They always have provided us measured, honest advice for 15 some years we've been with them. Dr Seitz in particular is our favorite though we've seen all the Vets here and all are kind and competent.

These guys are some of the best vets in all of San Diego. They are always very compassionate, thorough, and reasonably priced. I have been taking my pets there for over 25 years now and have never once had a bad experience.

We got a brand new puppy and needed to schedule a veterinarian checkup. They booked us about 4 weeks out and mentioned nothing to us on how the visit would go. Fast forward a month, I rush home from work to make the appointment and we are greeted with a sign at the door telling us to text a number and a tech would call us back. After standing on the street we were told we would drop off our 5 month old puppy around back and they would call us back when the appointment was done. I have zero intention on leaving my brand new puppy with strangers I’ve only spoken with on the phone. I’m sure they’re a great practice but they could have saved me a lot of time and stress if they explained that I wouldn’t be able to accompany my best friend during his first vet visit.

They are not accepting new clients which sucks because Emma was so friendly. Will update if anything changes.

We have always had a wonderful experience at Kensington Vet. Everyone who works there is kind, helpful, polite, and professional. The doctors are fantastic, and we especially love Dr. Seitz and her amazing care! After over a decade of trying several different vet offices, we are so happy to finally find one that we completely trust (and we won't be leaving!). -The Family of Maddy & Luke Catwalker Shebby

I love my vets! They are thorough, explain results clearly and take good care of my kitten ????

Great place to take your pet but it's pricey!

Great doctors and staff. I have been bringing my pets here for 10 years

The staff is always so welcoming, and make me feel like my animals are the cutest, smartest, they've seen!

Absolutely the best with my dogs. Especially my senior dog. They're honest and do quality care.

Easy and safe to navigate. I miss Seeing everyone. Thank you.

Staff is excellent...our groomer does an excellent job on our two dogs, Isabelle and Little Rascal. I

This place is the best. Would recommend to anyone with a pet. Very caring group there. Thank you KVH!!

Very friendly and professional, caring for my doggy.

Everyone that I’ve dealt with at Kensington Vet has been very professional, helpful, and caring. I’ve been taking my Cockapoo rescue there for the year that I’ve had him, and they always put his comfort and care first. Recently, Dr Ronai cared for my dog and he was outstanding: patient, thorough, and informative. I highly recommend this hospital!

Friendliest most caring vet office I’ve ever been to.

They've taken care of our animals for 9+ years now. 3 dogs and 1 cat. They're a little pricey but you get what you pay for. The doctors and staff is very caring and attentive to your concerns and you're pets needs.

Would never take my dogs anywhere else

Very knowledgeable staff, and Dr. Valdes is simply amazing. They take wonderful care of pets and ease the hearts and minds of their owners.

They took care of my cat SKY and love that place its convenient for me. Ted

This vet is so caring and loving to your animals and your wallet. They will talk through all of your financial options and spend time with you to help you make a decision. So happy to have found this vet!

Awesome vet with a caring staff

I wasn't upsold on a bunch of unnecessary tests for my cat. Everything that she needed was explained to me before it was done and instructions for care after were explained as well. Staff was friendly and took very good care of my fur baby. Highly recommend.

I have been going to Kensington Veterinary Hospital since they opened in either 1991 or 1992. Everyone there has taken wonderful care of my four golden retrievers during that time. I can't imagine going anywhere else to keep my dogs healthy and make them as comfortable as possible in their old age.

From the front office staff, vet techs and all the doctors they are all caring and awesome to take care of my furbaby! Update now that we have been with Kensington Vet for over a year now and had the chance to meet all the doctors, they are all wonderful!! Honestly I can't say that one is better than the other!!

When I got my dog, it was not easy to choose a vet. I got recommended Kensington Veterinary Hospital by some dog owners at the dog park so, I went for it. And I couldn't be happier. Always welcoming, very gentle with my dog. My dog is not even scared to go there! She knows she'll receive love and treats :D You can see they love animals and know how to handle them. What I particularly like is that they give you options on treatments, whatever you feel more comfortable with. They explain clearly, in details what's up and I never feel left in the dark. And they always check on the pet after an appointment to ensure everything is alright. We couldn't be happier to have found them!
