If you have an emergency, do not hesitate to seek care. Emergencies can take many forms- injuries, illness, poisoning, trauma, or exacerbations of previous ailments (heart disease, cancer, etc). If your pet is having difficulties, is bleeding, having difficulty breathing, etc, do not hesitate to seek care!
At Kensington Veterinary Hospital we offer a wide range of conventional medical options, including medicine, surgery and dentistry. We have close working relationships with the many specialists, which allows us to offer an even higher level of care. Our goals are to offer your pet the best possible care, to be as thorough as we can in assessing your pet's needs, and advising you of our findings. In partnership with you, we hope to help you formulate a pet care plan that best meets your needs and budget.
Class IV Therapeutic Laser is a more recent, and very effective, treatment option for many conditions. It is a wavelength of light that reduced inflammation, decreases pain, encourages healing, and can help resolve infections (bacterial and fungal/yeast).It feels good- a slight warm sensation- and is very well tolerated by our patients.

My dog ran into a glass window and cut his leg. It was not life threatening, but it was more than we could deal with at home. This was the only place that would take my dog on the same day that he hurt himself! The staff was friendly and the doctor was professional. They explained what they thought was needed and gave us an estimate before we proceeded. The cost was a lot more than we expected, but our puppy has been taken care of and is recovering well, so we are glad we found this place.

These people are great. They have take good care of my dog Rexx. I now that sounds so generic, but my previous vet was so rough and didn't have a good manner. All the staff have been so nice and Rexx likes them

Kensington was our Vet until we moved a few miles away. We then worked with a couple other Vets in our new area and none could measure up. When our new Vet could not figure out what was wrong with our dog, we went back to Kensington where Dr. Seitz and staff quickly made a proper diagnosis. At such a crucial time we were grateful to have such a knowledgeable, compassionate pet hospital.

I repeated questions, I asked for details, I kept calling and they promptly called back - every time. Not only did the vet techs call us lots of times, but the Doctor called us many times and practically held our hand through the whole process. If we ever have any more fur babies, KVH will be our Vets from start to.

I was in San Diego for a graduation and my dog, Louis, had a hot spot that popped up almost overnight. I called around to almost every vet in the area and they were the only one who could get me in the same day. They took great care of Louis while he was there and got him all cleaned up. Dr. Ronai kept me updated throughout the entire stay and even followed up with me once we were back home. I would definitely use this vet again if they were in Dallas.

In prep for our move to San Diego, I called three veterinary hospitals in the area based on my initial choices. I vetted these vet clinics by reviewing their websites and looked at reviews from others. Kensington was my #1 choice. I called twice and left a message. Their automated message stated they were not taking any new patients. I thought at minimum I'd get a call back.

No call back. Once we got settled in San Diego, I called them back to see if their onsite groomer would at least take customers for a bath/cut. Again, no call back. They must be THAT busy and full since they can't return ANY calls. Move on from this business, if they can't do something simple as a call back.imagine the kind of services they provide.

I would recommend College Animal Hospital. You'll get to speak to a human. Her name is Danielle and she will take care of you. We've established pet care there and have enjoyed their team.

Very nice people, and although you would imagine they would have higher prices Kensington and all they don't they're very reasonable when you compare them to other places. I also have noted more thorough examinations and a higher level of competence overall. They seemed to genuinely care.

We got a brand new puppy and needed to schedule a veterinarian checkup. They booked us about 4 weeks out and mentioned nothing to us on how the visit would go. Fast forward a month, I rush home from work to make the appointment and we are greeted with a sign at the door telling us to text a number and a tech would call us back. After standing on the street we were told we would drop off our 5 month old puppy around back and they would call us back when the appointment was done.

I have zero intention on leaving my brand new puppy with strangers I've only spoken with on the phone. I'm sure they're a great practice but they could have saved me a lot of time and stress if they explained that I wouldn't be able to accompany my best friend during his first vet visit.

We have always had a wonderful experience at Kensington Vet. Everyone who works there is kind, helpful, polite, and professional. The doctors are fantastic, and we especially love Dr. Seitz and her amazing care! After over a decade of trying several different vet offices, we are so happy to finally find one that we completely trust (and we won't be leaving!). -The Family of Maddy & Luke Catwalker Shebby

These guys are some of the best vets in all of San Diego. They are always very compassionate, thorough, and reasonably priced. I have been taking my pets there for over 25 years now and have never once had a bad experience.
