I travel from Bonsall to visit Bressi Ranch Pet Hospital. They treat my pets Oscar and Emmy with kindness, and they saved my previous cat Tommy’s life more than once. I love all the vets and techs here!

Love this place! Back in July, I brought in a sick puppy I rescued and they took us in right away! They called and kept checking in on us. Went back in just last week for a nail trim and they remember him! Bressi has the sweetest staff and vets!We bring all our pets here now and recommend this pet hospital to our family and friends

Everyone is extremely nice and Helpful. Both Drs Lax (J & Z) along with Dr Kenny are fabulous. Been with them for at least 25 yrs. Recently I moved, takes me 45 minutes to a hour drive to see them. They are worth it.

We love Dr. Kinney and her wonderful, friendly and efficient team. We moved, but will continue to be loyal patrons of Bressi Ranch Pet Hospital. All the technicians are fabulous and we will continue for the life span of our beloved Schnauzer.Groomers use an abbreviated technique for squeezing the anal glands. We take our 4-legged baby to Bressi for nail trims and anal glands. They're fast an efficient, and our dog has NEVER dragged her butt on the floor (a sign of discomfort due to anal glands being full (or worse: clogged).Dr. Kinney at Bressi Ranch Pet Hospital has never EVER given us anything but excellent care and thorough, LOVING treatment of our precious Schnauzer. We are clients for life.

I will never take my dogs anywhere else. Dr. Lax is the best, he's a straight shooter and an excellent vet. The care is excellent and fair. I do not feel taken advantage of.

All of the vets and vets techs are so knowledgeable, helpful, and kind to both the humans and their dog patients. The front office staff are friendly and efficient. We’ve been coming to BRESSI Ranch Pet Hospital for over 10 years and they always taken such good care of us. They have even helped out visiting relatives and their furry friends. Jack (see photo) actually gets excited when we get there- I can’t imagine going anywhere else, ever!

What can I say, but, they are all the very best. Front office, techs and especially the vets. Whatever Dr Jonathan LAX says is the absolute best advice! His reassurance inspires confidence! Great place! All the vets there are terrific.

We've been taking our pets to Bressi Ranch Pet Hosp since they opened and prior saw Dr Lax at the old office. All of their staff is extremely knowledgeable, kind and compassionate. Never a problem to get an appt, and there is never an upsell in service or products. They truly care about your pets. We highly recommend them.

We recently moved to Carlsbad from San Jose. We made an appt with Bressi Ranch Pet Hospital soon after we arrived and the staff could not have been more helpful and took the time to help me identify the best place to get food for my dog.We went to VEG on a Saturday which was recommended by BRPH thank goodness we made it there just in time.We had already set up an appt at BRPH for the following week. The waiting area is large and clean. This made our little dog more comfortable than any other office we have visited in her 16 years. We met Dr Lax after a brief wait. He asked to take our nervous little girl into his arms and proceeded to sit down and pet her calmly. We have never experienced anything like it anywhere. No other vet had ever taken this approach to making our dog more comfortable. She would shake violently in other offices but quickly became calmer as the doctor proceeded to examine her and go over our history and visit to VEG.Dr Lax recommended making a change to the medication and I can honestly say that he nailed it. We no longer have to give her one of the medications and she is doing great. Dr Lax also gave us expectations for future care which gave us peace of mind.Thank you to all at Bressi Ranch Pet Hospital. You made a difference in the way we feel about going to the vet!

I have been going to bressi ranch for many years and they are so wonderful. Staff are warm and friendly and helpful and kind and supportive. Thank you Bressi Ranch for excellent service always

★★★★★

Bressi Ranch Pet Hospital is a terrific veterinary service. Dr. Lax Sr. is knowledgeable, professional, and caring. We had been going to a previous vet for 30years before he retired, and it took us a while to find a new vet who we could trust to take care of our fur baby. It was truly a relief to find someone with Dr. Lax’s expertise. The staff is kind and caring, as well, and the facility is top notch.

Dr. Kenny is the best veterinarian you could hope for. I drive to the next city to see her because she’s so knowledgeable and empathetic and has a gentle way with animals and their owners. I just love her, and more importantly, I trust her. She has taken excellent care of all the beloved pets who have been a part of my family for over 15 years.

I am absolutely Blessed to have found BRPH. I don't even know where to begin. The facility is spacious and immaculate. The staff including the front desk, technicians and doctors are all incredibly nice and compassionate. I notice over the years the same people still working there, and that speaks volumes to me about the business / management side. Having full hours on Saturday is a big plus (it used to also be Sunday which was even better). Besides being nice, I'm pretty sure the staff is the best in their field as well, time and time again I walk away pleased with our visits. The pet boarding is a whole other bonus, I think they are the best anywhere, their attention to detail and the cleanliness and peacefulness of the facility makes me feel very comfortable leaving our "kids" in their care. The great benefit to me, is that it's veterinary technicians that care for them so if went wrong they would spot the issue in a moment and how great is it they're already at a hospital with doctors!

We are so happy we found Bressi Ranch Animal Hospital. Dr. Lax and his entire team are super knowledgeable, professional and show a lot of empathy for people and their pets. They always make time to listen to any concerns and are helping to find the best possible solutions for pets and their owners. We always feel that our dogs and we are welcome, although one of our dogs can be a bit difficult to deal with, but they handle him with ease. We also boarded both of our dogs there while we were travelling and knew they were in good hands. They looked super happy and healthy when we picked them back up. We highly recommend Bressi Ranch Animal Hospital to anyone who is looking for great veterinary care for their furry companions.

The staff and Vets at Bressi have always been so very kind and helpful. They have taken care of our beloved 15 year old dog for many years... most of his life. We just had to say goodbye to him a week ago and up until the end they were there to guide us and advise us. We went with a recommendation of a home euthanasia group, Paws Into Grace, who were also amazing to help make the transition a bit easier for both our furry boy and our family. Thank you all.

Professional, friendly and relaxed staff and atmosphere. Large reception area with well- spaced benches. Dr. Kinney was a pleasure - her calm demeanor and a soft voice was helpful for my potentially nervous dog. Appreciated her ordering minimal testing needed to help determine cause of problem and determine a path forward.

I wish I could give more than 5 stars — they are just that good! Amazing experience always! We just got our 5 pound chihuahuas teeth cleaned and a few teeth pulled and it was just the most positive experience considering the circumstances. Everyone was so lovely and caring (shout out to Jennie!) and everyone at the front (shout out to Isaac and Chelsea!) always make you feel right at home. Thanks for everything!

We’ve been taking our fur babies to Bressi Ranch Pet Hospital for many, many years. We LOVE them—especially Dr. Kenny. Both her and Doctor Lax are so compassionate and it’s very clear how much they care about their patients. I cannot imagine taking my kitty to any other vet.

Julianne A.

★★★★★

I've been with this awesome group since my Yorkie was 6 weeks old. She is now 8 1/2 years old and was just diagnosed with a collapsing trachea...this was hard to hear but I got so much reassurance from Dr. Kinney that I'm hopeful she will get to live longer. Everyone at the clinic has been so helpful and when I have called with any issue they quickly let me know what I should do. Since she is only 3 1/2 pounds she comes with concerns that I never had with my large dogs. They're also so personable with every visit and I know they are extremely attentive to my dogs health and well being (as well as keeping me from getting too anxious!) I just recently was telling my friends to switch because of the professional and personable attention...they're convinced so expect more fur babies coming your way!

Dr. Lax has been my family Vet for over 20 years and there is no on else i trust with my dogs care. He is honest and has never pushed unnecessary tests on my animals as I have experienced with other Vets. He has a vast amount of knowledge and looks out for the best interest of the animal!

I have a new pup and am new to the area. When I needed to have my pet seen right away, the doctors at Bressi accommodated me. This is a top notch practice. When even the pet owners in the parking lot come out raving, you know you are in the right place!

Bressi Ranch Pet Hospital is where we have always brought our dogs for routine exams and other needs. The staff from the front desk, Veterinary assistants to the Veterinarians are personable, caring, professional and very knowledgeable. We have always felt that our pets were safe and respected in their care. For many years we have have the good fortune of Dr. Kenny caring for our dogs. In addition to her years of experience, she is compassionate and kind as well as generous with her time to answer questions and explain important information to us. We have recommended Bressi Ranch to several of our friends and neighbors because of their outstanding practice.

★★★★★

Always friendly, helpful, and prompt, and very good with my dog. He isn't terrified when he comes here like he is at other vet hospitals. They also quickly diagnosed and tested an underlying immune disease that previous vets only noticed symptoms of. He's doing great with their close attention, medication, and regular blood tests to monitor progress.

Haley M.

Our fur family has been patients of Dr. Lax for almost 10 years. We have taken that journey where there was time to say a final goodbye. We did this twice in the last year and we're grateful for the compassionate care we received. Last we we added a new fur member, a 4 year old Chihuahua mix get adopted from a shelter in San Bernadino. Dr. Lax did her first wellness check and was happy when he said, she is a keeper, because we already love her.
