How to Save on Veterinary Costs at San Clemente Veterinary Hospital

Preventive care

Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

The Staff was VERY friendly and attentive. Made my cat Ali and I comfortable in the exam room. Dr. Ryan was very though to get to the bottom of what is going on my my fur baby. Still waiting on her urine culture but her blood work was in tiptop shape for a mature 8 year old Blue Russian kitty .Recommend a dental and will be scheduling that in near future. Thanks so much Dr. Ryan and the staff of San Clemente Vet.

The VERY BEST kitty care. They have taken care of my Abbysinian cat, Lily since I got her, she’s now 17 years old and in good health! This practice does stress reduced cat care. The BEST cat care!

I have to share my recent experience at San Clemente veterinary hospital. I brought my 7 1/2 year old, multipoo "Missy" in for mass growths in her mammary track. She was an intact female. Dr. Agostini performed the surgery. He and his staff were the most professional I have ever witnessed. I was an emotional wreck and everyone was so caring. Thank you to the entire staff. Missy is doing well and we are so grateful to Dr. Agostini. This doctor and the entire staff are a class act. Thank you. Missy can now enjoy many more sunsets.

I will forever remember this vet, Dr. Ryan and his staff. We use the vet on Pendleton as our usual vet (can't beat the price and they've been great to our babies), however, on a Sunday our terminal 10 year old dog, beautiful Ivy, let us know she could no longer go on. From the second I made the call, I felt that I had an incredible support system and they took her in immediately. Their kindness, professionalism, and empathy will forever stay with us. Our baby girl is no longer in pain, and we can't wait to see her on the other side. Two weeks later, a handwritten card, signed by every employee, and her beautiful paw print arrived. I highly recommend this vet, you can't go wrong 💓

I always have a good experience here. The staff is very helpful. One if my dogs is deaf and they went out of their way to send me emails with trainers that could help. I was very impressed.
