I took my dog Nia in because she was vomiting and everyone was so kind, so knowledgeable and so happy to help. The gentleman at the front desk was lovely, the techs were fantastic.

I can't recommend this urgent care enough! I don't yet have a regular vet in Santa Barbara for my 10-year-old Yorkie, Bentley, and when he started having digestive issues that sent me into a panic, they got us seen quickly.

Urgent Veterinary Care on De La Vina was an incredibly easy experience. We suspected a foxtail in our BC dog's ear — they were considerate of our dog and it was taken care of so professionally.
