- LKLaura KreyDec 2, 20255.0Best vet ever. I have 3 animals and it’s always so hard to find a good vet, very grateful to have found somewhere like this! And Dr Foster is the BEST! She was so patient with me, extremely knowledgeable, and answered all of my questions (and i had a lot). Thank you!!!!!
- MGMARY ANN GOODRICHNov 1, 20255.0The Vet Dr. Whitney Foster in Encinitas was very nice to me & gentle with her exam of my dog. I felt like she took her time. The tech who did our intake was also very kind and good with my dog.the tech was the one who explained the treatment plan and the cost.

- MMMarcieOct 10, 20252.0I first tried this Vetco clinic when there were no other options available on a Saturday when our dog needed to be seen as soon as possible. I was happy that they offer Saturday hours, which helped avoid taking her to emergency. After I had tried to schedule the first visit online, I ended up calling for additional help, which the operator then assisted me with the scheduling. In turn, I did not receive the “Free exam for first time clients” coupon, so paid for the first exam. I was happy with the vet, vet tech and overall visit and experience. I thought great, this office can be an alternative to when she cannot get in to her regular vet. I ended up needing to get our girl in to be seen again. This time I was able to schedule the visit online, and everything went through perfectly. I then received the “First free exam” coupon. After mentioning that I had just received the coupon this (second) visit, and if they could honor it for this one, they told me they would not. That was very disappointing!! This was only a second visit, not a third, fourth and so on, which I could have understood. Had I received the coupon the first time that would of been nice, but it wasn’t sent to me until the second visit. Being a return customer should’ve been enough to honor the coupon. Now I don’t think I’ll go back to this clinic. Unless you have their Vetco pet plan, it is quite expensive!
