We are committed to caring for your pet as an important member of your family. Our Location We are conveniently located in the Clairemont Town Square Shopping Center - next door to TJ Maxx - with ample parking and two handicapped spaces directly in front of our entrance. Although our zip code is 92117, our vets have been caring for dogs and cats in the greater Clairemont area (University City, Bay Park, Kearny Mesa, Linda Vista, and La Jolla zip codes) for many years. We have clients that travel from Escondido, Chula Vista, and even Orange County to bring their precious pets to us for care. A.A.HA. A.A.H.A stands for the American Animal Hospital Association. Founded in 1933, this is the only organization that provides accreditation for veterinary practices throughout North America. Our hospital is continually evaluated on over 800 standards covering areas such as anesthesiology, surgery, laboratory, pain management, and pharmacy. By following the strict standards required by A.A.H.A, you can rest assured that your pet will receive the very best in veterinary medicine. Only 14% of small animal hospitals in North America are accredited. We have been accredited since 1995.
