    I needed low cost spaying for my puppy. This business gets very busy so I recommend getting there early. The waiting room is very small and gets crowded. The women behind the desk are very nice and informative. They seem to be gentle with the pets. I recommend this vet if you are on a tight budget.

    Literal life savers. Idk what I would have done when my cat was near death. I paid more at Civano just to be seen then what I paid at Santa Cruz for the entire surgery. I can't say enough good things about Santa Cruz. I will forever be grateful for them. They were also amazing when my cat passed and have unbeatable cremation prices. I called all over town and would never have been able to afford cremation from anywhere else. Staff are all very kind.
