Even if you don’t read this whole review, trust, if you are looking for the BEST vet for your pet where they will be treated like a VIP (very important pet), receive the most comprehensive, compassionate care, & exceptional service (which of course all animals deserve only the very best), I HIGHLY recommend CoastView.
My 14-year-old Chihuahua Miniature Pinscher, Pawparazzi, has struggled with severe skin issues since June (hair loss, flaky skin, bacterial infection). Our previous vet was fine for routine care, but we saw no progress with these more complex issues. I found CoastView through a Facebook group, & the experience has been amazing. Being a senior dog with health concerns, the idea of a “fear-free” clinic was appealing. My husband was initially skeptical, but even he’s been impressed.
We've had two visits so far, both have been fantastic. Our vet tech, Star, is INCREDIBLE! Dr. Caitie is also AMAZING! They handle Paw with immense compassion, making sure he’s comfortable every step of the way. Star is not only kind to us but to Paw, thoroughly preparing us for Dr. Caitie, helping us communicate our concerns, & clearly explaining Paw’s meds & care tips. She’s friendly, warm, & a pleasure to work with, putting both Paw & us at ease.
Dr. Caitie is so intelligent, kind, & patient, answering every question we have. Her exams are thorough—she checks every detail, takes photos to track progress, & offers a range of treatment options that fit our budget. We always leave with a clear understanding of costs & treatment plans—no surprises. Dr. Caitie has provided symptom relief & preventive measures while we search for the root of Paw's issues.
Both Star & Dr. Caitie make us feel valued, never rushed, & we never feel like unnecessary treatments are pushed. They are knowledgeable, competent, & ethical—qualities that are reassuring when dealing with complex issues. Prices are also reasonable; it doesn’t cost much more than our previous vet, Dr. Caitie & Star also provided resources for financial support.
With our previous vet, we often left feeling uncertain. At CoastView, we leave confident that Paw is on the road to recovery & that there’s a solid plan moving forward.
For anyone curious about a “fear-free” clinic, CoastView’s approach makes a difference:
Separate entrances/waiting rooms for cats & dogs
Free bandanas with calming pheromone spray
Scales on the floor with towels for comfort
Scent diffusers in exam rooms
Towel-covered exam tables for warmth & comfort
Every treatment is done with us in the exam room, easing Paw's anxiety
Small breaks between procedures to avoid overwhelming him
An extra level of care, warmth, & kindness in all interactions with Paw during exams, testing, & treatments
Patience in explaining everything thoroughly & answering all questions to the fullest, so we never feel confused or concerned about his care
Prioritization of treatments & procedures to reduce stress & include preventive measures to avoid further complications
Peanut butter rewards after uncomfortable treatments—simple but helpful!
Communication outside of visits is excellent. We receive appointment reminders, & Dr. Caitie follows up with detailed care plans & cost estimates. After our first visit, I even received a check-in email about Paw’s progress, with encouragement to reach out anytime before his next appointment.
As someone who’s been worried about their pet for months, the relief we’ve felt since switching to CoastView is immense. We’re thankful to have found a place where Paw is truly in good hands & on a hopeful path toward recovery. When your pet faces complex issues, it’s frustrating & heartbreaking to feel helpless. Now, we finally have hope that Paw will regain quality of life, & we’re grateful to the CoastView team for that.
I recommend CoastView wholeheartedly. I’ve read countless reviews & spent time researching to find the best care for Paw. Our pets are family, so if you’re searching for the right vet, I hope this helps guide you to the quality care CoastView provides.
Thank you, CoastView! We love you! 🐾

Andrea H. & her team are amazing. I’ve only been bringing my animal here for about a year and they are so helpful. They were able to help me fill a prescription last minute for my pet. She was so sweet & helpful I couldn't recommend Coast View enough! Thank you Andrea you are an angel.

Recently, we have been on a journey to figure out what is going on with our dog’s skin and have not had good luck with past vets. Finally, we found CoastView and could not be happier! Dr. Stuart and our vet technician were incredibly kind and patient with all of our questions. For the first time, we finally feel like we are getting the right treatment for our dog.

I appreciate this clinic and all staff. They are great to my personal dog and my disabled foster dog. The fear-free experience truly creates a positive atmosphere; they make sure that my dog is always happy. They always go at my dog’s pace, make sure that he’s comfortable with everything, and take plenty of breaks for treats. I know they’ve been busier than ever lately but the care never feels rushed, all doctors are always so nice and will answer all questions. Not only are the doctors and techs amazing, but the receptionists are great at replying to texts and phone calls, and with getting messages to the doctors. Coastview is different than any other clinic I’ve been to, in the best way. If you want a place that cares about your dog’s physical and emotional/mental health, this is the place to go. They have 5 stars on all review sites, which should tell you just how amazing they are!
