The Goodland Pet Hospital - La Concepcion

Recently i have adopted a new Puppy and was looking for a vet clinic that would see me asap for a health exam. upon calling several other places and being told the earliest they could see me was at least a week from then, Goodland Pet Hospital managed to get me in later that day! From the moment i walked in every single one of the staff members was very helpful and they treated my puppy with the upmost care and love. thank you all for your hard work!

Star and I found the people who work here wonderfully caring and attentive. They called when they had a cancellation and we were able to get in for a visit very quickly. The vet tech made a cute mohawk for star and gave her heartworm medicine. The vet was very personable as well.

Love Goodland veterinary. My dog just walks right in and goes right with the techs with no problem. She’s usually very skittish and starts pulling away

I do not recommend it. Though the nurse and doctors and front desk are all very nice in their attitude, but I do not think they have a reasonable price and is knowledgeable/ experienced enough. My cat was administered a fluid injection, which should have been injected under the skin. However, it was mistakenly delivered to the incorrect layer, causing the fluid to become trapped. This resulted in swelling ( I understand that there will be a couple of days of swelling for SQ fluid but that didn't subside even after a week ) and led to skin irritations and patches of hair loss. I reached out to the clinic when I first noticed the patches, querying whether the injection could have resulted in hair loss. The receptionist responded, assuring me that it was extremely unlikely and hair loss couldn't possibly be linked to the injection. They suggested booking another appointment for further examination to rule out fungal infections. Contrarily, a visit to a different pet hospital confirmed my suspicions. The doctor there identified swelling around the area of hair loss and managed to extract some trapped fluid. They explained that the liquid was likely a result of the fluid injection administered on July 19th. The second hospital not only provided clearer answers but also offered far more reasonable pricing. For the same amount I'd paid at the original clinic, I received a fecal test, a woods lamp examination, a first veterinary exam, an FVRCP vaccine, deworming, and the fluid extraction procedure. In addition, they gifted me a cat toy and additional deworming medicine. In contrast, the original clinic, Goodlands Hospital, provided only an examination and the fluid injection—which possibly consisted of electrolytes and vitamins rather than any medication—and was ultimately responsible for the hair loss and skin irritation my cat experienced. I initially brought my cat to the clinic due to her symptoms of morning vomiting and occasional sneezing. They opted to administer SQ fluid and probiotics as supportive care, and also an extensive list of tests concurrently, (I rejected) including a fecal test, a PCR test, an FIV/FELV test, radiographs, a Revolution deworming treatment,. If my memory is accurate, this comprehensive assortment of tests along with the physical examination came with a substantial price tag of around $1600. The fluid + examination was around $220 In my perspective, such a wide array of tests all at once might not have been necessary as my cat is doing fine except 1 time of vomiting in the morning. The more measured approach, in my view, would have been to administer these tests one at a time, starting with the test for the most probable cause. Doing everything at once not only could potentially lead to unnecessary tests being done but also places a significant financial burden on the pet owner.

Dr Kelly is caring, kind and wicked smart. The staff I’ve met with are equally qualified and warm. I’m careful where I’ll take my elderly Wheaton Terrier rescue and I will keep coming back to TGPH as long as I’m in Santa Barbara.
