How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Vetco Total Care

Preventive care

Wonderful experience and the great vital care for my puppy. I tell you the best customer service ever and I appreciate all the care and love for my pet. Everyone was nice and caring helpful. Shaie, McKenna, Dr Hughes and The other doctor everyone was so nice helpful patient they explained everything and we finally found out what was wrong with our puppy. Great customer service I highly recommend this location. I also recommend that this location provides training to the vital care location on East Lake Chula Vista location. I originally had an appointment there got to the appointment and the young man at the front desk was so rude and disrespectful that I ended up leaving and said I'll never come back here again. I also found a friend of mine who also went to the same location Eastlake Chula Vista vital Care with Petco and she experienced the same thing. I don't know if this young man has a problem with people of color but I do know he needs to provided more customer service and training or he's in the wrong field and should not work there anymore because he lacks customer service skills and it he is not polite at all. So thank you to all the wonderful staff at the West Chula Vista location wonderful service. And thumbs down to the Eastlake location at 878 East Lake parkway suite 1210 Chula Vista California 91914 TO ALL DONOT GO TO THIS LOCATION. I highly recommend you go to the Petco vital Care Chula Vista 1142 Broadway The best care and customer service from this staff.

My dog is a patient of this vet care clinic vetco and yet I go to another vetco just to pick up his medicine since I was in the area and I told me he can't get it because their doctors haven't seen them personally. I absolutely cannot stand this company
