Friars Road Vet

Although i’ve had/​have a lot of dogs, Princess Coco –a yorkiepoo– is the first dog who’s truly mine. Needless to say, I wanted to make sure that she gets the best care possible. So I looked up all the vets around my area and it was the PennySaver coupons (free initial exam and $ 15 for vaccinations) that finally convinced me to make an appt at the Friars Rd Vet.
To date, Coco has seen Dr Peterson twice and each time we’re greeted by a friendly staff that is not only helpful but also knowledgable. I also want to mention that during our last visit, b/​c Coco is still getting house trained, she went #2 in the lobby (–_​-​), and the lady at the front desk was SO helpful and nonjudgemental that it made the awkward situation a lot more bearable.
The only reason I docked a star is b/​c of the cost. It is rather high in comparison to what the vets in the Inland Empire charge. Nevertheless, I have already made a return appointment due to the level of service provided here. (:

After going to other vets I realized Dr Peterson has a terrible bed side manner. Every time I take my dog in there he makes me feel bad. He charges way to much for his services.

Everybody there is extremely nice. I just took my kitten there and everyone was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. They also walked me through how to transition to other foods and introduce her to new animals (she is my first pet) and I couldn’t be more grateful for all their help. I got very lucky picking them on the first try.
I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a vet for their animal. You will not be disappointed!

My puppy and I had a great first visit at Friars Rd Vet! The entire staff was very friendly and the doctor was very knowledgeable and had some great suggestions. They were awesome with our puppy and the appointment was very quick. They sent a welcome card in the mail 2 days later and a reminder phone call to set up our next vaccine appointment. We’re very happy to have found a wonderful local vet!

Choosing the right vet, like choosing any other kind of doctor, isn’t easy and you don’t always have the luxury of shopping around. My first visit here was probably 1997– I don’t continue with a vet that isn’t honest, helpful, respectful. I can, therefore, absolutely say these many years later that Dr. Peterson is truly worthy of 5 stars. Rather than describe my pets’ maladies, I will just say that I can depend on Dr. Peterson for a candid, forthright diagnosis/​assessment as well as a professional and courteous manner. Through the years, Dr. Peterson has always managed to assemble an excellent staff, which is another important aspect of a visit to your vet, and that in itself speaks volumes to me and is no easy accomplishment. All of this to say that I don’t hesitate to recommend Dr. Peterson. Your pet is in good hands at this office.

Dr. Peterson at Friars Road Vet is awesome! The staff is extremely helpful and will answer any questions you have about your pet. I have been taking my Chihuahua there for couple years now and have had a great experience. Their prices are the best I’ve seen in San Diego, make sure you go to their website and print the coupons out for the Vaccines (only $ 9.90 each)
