Santa Barbara Humane

Veternarian was great. Assisted with cost and treated me with dignity and gave great care to my dog. Explained in detail concerns and gave opinion and suggestions for care. I went on a Sunday. Vet was female. Can't say enough about her. She was great and compassionate! Best care we ever received anywhere.

Was looking for a place to train our brand new rescue pup. After doing a lot of research in SB, they offer various forms of dog training at half the price of most trainers. Very satisfied with the results!

I have brought my dog Chester here to the Humane Society before; though it was during the pandemic with a slightly different protocol. This time around, my pup was due for his three-year "double whammy" vaccination of both DHPP and rabies. I made the appointment online several weeks in advance (recommended since appointments go fast) and was able to select by my preferred date and time. I followed the clear instructions by arriving 5 minutes early, parking in the lot, then walking past the shelter building to the vet clinic. Julie welcomed me and Chester with a smile, while going over what to expect. She also offered him a kennel cough intranasal vaccine at the same time. The appointment was brief and required me to only wait about 5 minutes total. Not to mention that it only cost me reasonable $25 (there's discounts for senior citizens too). Julie walked Chester out and told me of possible side effects to watch out for. Although my pup was excited to escape, he also got a lot of good smells and pets in. We left all set for another 3 years. Keep in mind that both the DHPP and rabies vaccinations are required for dogs over 4 months of age in order to license them in the state of California. This helps protect all dogs but also reduces stray pets from roaming the streets. They also offer spay/neutering, deworming, flea treatments, anal gland expression, nail trimming, microchipping and an all-encompassing examination.

Visited the human society to have my wife’s mini dachshund Kenobi fixed. I think their services are awesome as well as affordable. The staff were extremely pleasant and professional. The only negative was the wait before (drop off) and after the procedure (pick up). Even though we received a drop off time we waited outside in a line. This means if your pet does not do well around other pets I suggest you either wait until everyone one gets seen first or you have someone save your place in line. Same goes with pick up. I understand they are al lot of animals and again their services and their staff are outstanding. I guess I was expecting more of like an individual check in and pick up. Anyways I appreciate everything they did for us and our dog.

staff always upbeat and reassuring to nervous 'mama' handing off doggie into the unknown behind the door vet area. would be sooo nice to be able to accompany pet into the exam room for procedure. But can't complain because the price makes the appointment possible, without you guys my doggie wouldn't have vet care. thank you.
