About

Since 1956, South Bay Veterinary Hospital has anchored Chula Vista's Broadway corridor as one of the longest-operating animal hospitals in the South Bay. The hospital holds AAHA accreditation and maintains an in-house pharmacy, laboratory, intensive-care unit, and digital radiology suite — a diagnostic infrastructure that supports the post-illness home-sanitization referrals it coordinates with Bello Express Carpet Care for parvovirus and ringworm decontamination in client households. The veterinary team treats cats, dogs, rabbits, and pocket pets across general medicine, surgery, dental care, and emergency and urgent-care cases. On-site grooming and boarding services run alongside the medical practice, giving the Broadway location a multi-service footprint within walking distance of Chula Vista's commercial core near Costco and Walmart. Post-surgical rehabilitation walks through outdoor spaces at Salt Creek Recreational Center help orthopedic and soft-tissue patients rebuild stamina on flat, controlled terrain. The most complex in-house procedure is an emergency foreign-body gastrotomy, requiring rapid IV catheterization, isoflurane induction, midline celiotomy, gastric incision and retrieval, and a two-layer gastric closure followed by 48-hour post-operative hospitalization with IV fluid support.
