Palomar Animal Hospital

My Spike the Beardiful Dragon is happy and so cool! To keep him healthy, we trust the professional care of Dr. Jennifer Nissen and her vet tech Vanessa.

Extremely competent and compassionate staff! We moved from the Bay Area where we had a vet we absolutely loved, so I wasn’t confident I would find a vet that could meet my expectations here in North County.

However, I have been very happy with the level of service, responsiveness, and compassion we have received taking our 2 senior dogs to PAH.

Dr. Knox is thorough, responsive, kind, and knowledgeable. The front desk and vet tech staff are always great at responding to emails, returning calls, and being caring and kind!

The prices are also affordable compared to other vets in the area for exams and diagnostics.

Our dog Sammy had a swollen lump in his throat. Dr. Knox and staff carefully examined him and took lab samples. Dr. Knox called back promptly with results and advice. The staff's care and response from Palomar Animal Hospital was much appreciated. Sammy recovered quickly!

I have brought my cat for years and recently the 2 dogs we have now. My girlfriend recommended this place after her experience with her cat and we love the staff and communication. They are always nice and friendly. They call to see how our pets are doing after visits and we thankfully have had great experiences with every doctor and nurse, even with my cat being very difficult around strangers. Compared to other local places we took our pets to before, this animal hospital will be our family's place to go.
