The Veterinary Specialty Hospital of San Diego has long been considered a leading center of specialty veterinary care in Southern California. As a result of ongoing expansion, we now have one the most comprehensive veterinary specialty facilities in the country.
So when your regular veterinarian decides that your pet needs the expertise and care of a specialist or has a critical emergency, VSH is the world-class choice for your pet’s specialty care. Our veterinarians are board-certified in their specialties, and they are supported by a highly-trained staff of certified technicians and other caring professionals. Specialties include:
Our Critical Care and Emergency Department operates 24-hours a day. It provides around-the-clock service for all inpatient dog or cats needing intensive care and is available for emergencies when your regular veterinarian is not. Our new facility is located at a convenient crossroads -- at the intersection of the I-805 and I-5 Freeways.
24-hours a day, seven days a week, our professionals dedicate themselves to providing a broad range of treatment options, highest quality of compassionate personalized care, and unparalleled service to pets and their owners. For your added comfort, we have coffee in the reception area.
Refer to the online Client Help Desk if you need an appointment or any other help. For emergencies, contact the Critical Care and Emergency Department at 858-875-7570.
VSH expands its comprehensive facility, enhancing service and capabilities
The Veterinary Specialty Hospital recently moved into to its beautiful new 26,500 sq. ft. facility. In doing so, we’ve added several specialists, four specialty areas, and a host of new resources. We now have 18 exam rooms, six operating suites, three levels of care (Intensive Care, Intermediate Care, and Emergency Care), and many other resources that enhance our service to client’s and their dog or cat. Our hospital’s world-class technical capabilities were further expanded with several new, state-of-the-art imaging and laboratory systems.
Finally, VSH is proud to note that the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine has moved and co-located its animal medical center in our new facility. The UC Veterinary Medical Center offers another complementary and convenient set of treatment options to clients.
VSH’s Commitment to Outstanding Service for You and Your Cat or Dog
Our expert professionals, advanced technology, and wide range of treatment options all contribute to excellent veterinary care. Those things are certainly important -- but we realize that the ultimate satisfaction of our clients depends on the excellence of our client service. We strive to always achieve optimal care for our animal patients and satisfaction for our clients – 100% percent of the time.
We also understand that great service requires great communication, especially during an emergency. That means our clients always have all the information they need about their dog or cat– presented in an understandable way – to make informed decisions. That means that referring veterinarians are always kept informed of their patients’ status in a timely way.
As an organization we promote great service and communication through client-centered policies and procedures, ongoing staff training, and state-of-the-art office technology.
