Our Story

San Diego's Best Kept Secret:
Where Traditional Meets
Alternative in Vet Care

South San Diego Veterinary Hospital was built on a conviction that most clinics overlook: pets heal best when you treat the whole animal — body, energy, and spirit. Located at 2910 Coronado Ave in San Diego's South Bay, our team of experienced veterinarians and devoted staff has created something genuinely rare: a clinic where traditional medicine and alternative healing work together seamlessly, under one roof, for one patient at a time.

We offer an extensive range of both conventional and integrative treatments — from vaccines, surgeries, and dentistry to acupuncture, Reiki, SCENAR biofeedback, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and VOM chiropractic care. When your pet comes through our doors, they're not a case number. They're an individual with a unique health story, and every treatment plan we build reflects that.

Our commitment to you goes beyond the exam room. We believe in straightforward, transparent communication about every diagnosis, recommendation, and cost estimate — because informed owners make the best advocates for their pets.

What Pet Parents Say

Families Who Trust
South San Diego Vet

★★★★★

"My Lucy had torn a toenail almost completely off and because it was bleeding it concerned me that it could get infected. They took her in and took care of her. I didn't have to wait hours to find out what needed to be done as with other emergency veterinary hospitals. I love the sweet sincerity of the Doctor and the staff."

Common Questions

Everything You Want
to Know

We offer an extensive range of integrative treatments including acupuncture, Reiki, Healing Touch, homeopathy, Bach Flower Remedies, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Gemmotherapy, Laser Therapy, SCENAR biofeedback therapy, VOM (Veterinary Orthopedic Manipulation), and NAET allergy elimination. Our veterinarians will help identify which therapies are right for your pet.

Yes. Our veterinarians are specifically trained to integrate alternative therapies safely with conventional medicine. We evaluate each patient individually and only recommend therapies that are appropriate and beneficial for their specific condition.

Librela is a breakthrough injectable medication designed to manage chronic osteoarthritis pain in dogs by targeting a specific pain signal pathway. During your appointment, our veterinarians will assess your dog's health and determine whether Librela is a suitable option for them.

Yes — we provide comprehensive traditional and integrative care for both cats and dogs. Our alternative therapies are adapted and safely applied for both species.

We are open Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and Saturday from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM (every other Saturday). We are closed on Sundays. Call us at 619-423-7121 to confirm Saturday availability.

VOM (Veterinary Orthopedic Manipulation) is a chiropractic technique adapted specifically for animals. It uses a hand-held instrument to restore neurological communication between the spine and the rest of the body, helping to improve mobility, reduce pain, and support recovery.

NAET (Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Techniques) is a non-invasive, holistic approach to diagnosing and treating allergies. It combines elements of acupuncture and energy medicine to address allergic reactions at their root, rather than simply managing symptoms.

From downtown San Diego, take Interstate 5 South past Chula Vista to the Coronado Avenue exit, turn left onto Coronado, go through two traffic lights, and we'll be on your left at the corner of Madden Street. From East County, take I-805 South to 905 West, exit at Beyer Blvd, turn right (north), then left on Coronado Avenue — we're a half block up on your right, across from Northgate Market.
