Santa Fe Animal Clinic has served Encinitas pet owners since 1978, providing full-service veterinary medicine for dogs and cats at 301 Santa Fe Drive, directly across from Scripps Encinitas Hospital west of the I-5. The multi-veterinarian team handles medical, surgical, and dental cases alongside preventive wellness protocols, and post-operative boarding coordination routes recovering patients to supervised facilities like Paw Commons Pet Resort & Training Center - Encinitas on El Camino Real. Diagnostic infrastructure includes digital radiography, advanced ultrasound imaging, modern dental radiograph equipment, in-house cytology, and comprehensive send-out laboratory services, enabling same-visit workups for complex cases. Saturday appointments became available starting in March 2026, expanding weekend access for the same pet-owning households that exercise their dogs at the Encinitas Dog Park on Vulcan Avenue. The dental suite performs full-mouth radiograph series, ultrasonic scaling, polishing, and extraction procedures under gas anesthesia with continuous pulse-oximetry, capnography, and blood-pressure monitoring throughout each sedation event.
