We wish you a warm welcome to Bernardo
Heights Veterinary Hospital. Dr. Fenner, Dr.
Ashbaugh and our team at our clinic have been
serving the pets of Ranch Bernardo, Rancho Penasquitos, 4S Ranch,
Poway, Carmel Mountain Ranch and other areas of north San Diego
County for 20 years. We have been a certified American Animal
Hospital Association (AAHA) member hospital since opening. We
are also proud to be members of the AVMA, CVMA, SDCVMA, and the
Rancho Bernardo Chamber of Commerce.
Our goal is to provide you and your pets with
the best possible care in a professional, compassionate,
comfortable family setting. We believe that pets are part of
the family and we hope to keep them healthy and happy for years to
come. We are very proud of our hospital and we hope that your
will refer your friends and family to our practice. (Our
site is still under construction, so if you cannot find something
you are looking for, please let us know!)
Philosophy
Our objectives in this veterinary hospital are
the same as yours.
To keep your pets healthy, to return them to health if they become
ill or injured; and to provide relief from pain, fear or
discomfort. We want to provide care that is the best
available while maintaining a friendly compassionate relationship
with both the patient and you, the client. We will treat your
pets as we would our own.
We believe strongly in preventive
care.
Many conditions can be prevented, or treated more easily, if
identified in their early stages. For this reason, we
recommend a yearly physcal examination, parasite
check, necessary laboratory tests, and appropriate
vaccinations for all pets. In older pets, more frequent
examinations may be advisable, since each year of a dog's or cat's
life is equivalent to five years of a human's life.
We believe that a well-informed person
can provide better care for their pet.
For this reason we try to explain to you the details of your pet's
diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. To help in explanations
we may use information brochures or other client education
aids. If you have any questions at any time about your pet's
condition or about pet health care in general, do not hesitate to
ask.
