Steinbeck Country Small Animal Clinic

Just moved to Salinas from Charleston SC and had to leave my beloved vet. This place has great reviews so I got an apt for my puppy here. They got me in within a week or so of me calling and I had a great first experience. They were timely and kind and clearly love animals. I didn’t feel like they tried to “sell” me on anything I didn’t want. They gave great advice on when to fix my pup and training tips too. I will be making appointments for my kitties to come here as well. EDIT: brought one of my kitties in when he suddenly was using the litter box a LOT more than usual. They were able to fit me in same day. Thankfully Zigzag is ok but they were great about seeing him. Beverly who is usually who I see up front is an absolute sweetheart. She never rushes people and is always so pleasant and kind. All the staff has been the same way. I feel like I found a great vet and so close to my house.

Steinbeck has been really helpful and great quality service for us and our puppy. We are first time puppy owners and their puppy starter pack was reasonably priced and helped us navigate vaccinations and heart-worm protection etc. Our pup a few weeks ago ate a stuffed toy (classic) and they helped us navigate what to do over then phone and it was successful- dodged a emergency vet visit thanks to them! Highly recommend this vet for our area!

Dr Pete came to the rescue when my ex veterinarian couldn't see my cat with an abscess for 2 weeks! Its not a fancy place but they really care about the animals. Their prices are reasonable too! Needless to say they are our new vet. Thankyou Dr Pete we can relax now ❤️

The vet where your pet can win! It’s hard to find a vet that truly takes the time to care for your pet the way you would always imagine or want a vet to. This practice is intentionally kept small, is nestled out of the way in a nice peaceful pocket - it feels like you’re walking in Fort Ord or Toro Park and happen to stumble upon a nice caring vet. After moving here we searched long and hard for a good vet who isn’t rushing all the time or has poorly trained staff who don’t even know how to approach an animal non-violently. We were disappointed with other vets until we finally found this wonderful place. They aren’t out to get you on the price either. They know how to work with you at whatever your current financial situation is. Seriously, thank you for being good people. We love you and I hope we never leave!

Dr.Jimmy is the best! I’m so grateful we found this veterinarian office with all amazing/friendly staff.
