Our Services & Philosophy - Pet Hospital of Peñasquitos

Our Services & Philosophy

At Pet Hospital of Peñasquitos, we believe that every animal—furred, feathered, scaled, or finned—deserves compassionate, expert care. Our philosophy is rooted in preventative medicine, client education, and a deep respect for the diversity of species we treat. Whether your companion is a dog, cat, parrot, python, or pufferfish, reptile, or chinchilla, we’re here to help them thrive.

We proudly welcome all exotic pets, including reptiles, amphibians, birds, fish, and small mammals. Our team includes some of the most uniquely qualified veterinarians in Southern California:

• Dr. Boyer is the only certified reptile and amphibian specialist in the region.
• Dr. Wilson, known as “The Exotic Pet Doctor,” brings deep expertise in marine life and aquatic species.
• Dr. Bitter is beloved for her fear-free, gentle touch and exceptional care of both exotic pets and feline companions.

As a teaching hospital, we’re also committed to shaping the future of veterinary medicine by mentoring and educating aspiring veterinarians and technicians.

We are proud to be AAHA-accredited, a distinction earned by fewer than 15% of veterinary hospitals in the U.S. This means we voluntarily uphold the highest standards in veterinary care, from cleanliness and safety to pain management and patient monitoring. AAHA accreditation is your assurance that we go above and beyond to deliver excellence in every aspect of your pet’s care.
