Lemon Grove Veterinary Hospital offers competitive prices for veterinary services, as reported by a reviewer who paid $134 for a rabies and bordatella update, along with a heartworm test.

One reviewer notes that vaccines were administered in the exam room, which they found unexpected but acceptable. The front desk staff is described as decent but not the friendliest.

I would like to share my wonderful experience with Lemon Grove Veterinary Hospital. Our dog, Mango, suddenly developed acute vision loss over the holiday weekend. We called several veterinary clinics to have her seen and evaluated, but had no luck. I finally called Lemon Grove Veterinary Hospital, and Tina, the vet tech, was very kind and accommodating.

I’ve been bringing my dogs here for years, and I can honestly say this is the best vet clinic around. The veterinarians are extremely caring, professional, and always take the time to explain everything clearly. You can tell they truly love animals and treat every pet like their own. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and always makes visits easy and stress-free. Their prices are also very reasonable compared to other clinics in the area. I wouldn’t take my pets anywhere else — Lemon Grove Vet is the only place I fully trust to care for them.

Much better prices than most of the vets I’ve experienced in San Diego. The doctors were helpful and not in a hurry to upcharge me for unnecessary services to get my money which I appreciated. I’d definitely go back. I got my chihuahuas rabies and bordatella updated along with a heartworm test and I spent $134
