Just moved to Salinas from Charleston SC and had to leave my beloved vet. This place has great reviews so I got an apt for my puppy here. They got me in within a week or so of me calling and I had a great first experience. They were timely and kind and clearly love animals. I didn’t feel like they tried to “sell” me on anything I didn’t want. They gave great advice on when to fix my pup and training tips too.
I will be making appointments for my kitties to come here as well.
EDIT: brought one of my kitties in when he suddenly was using the litter box a LOT more than usual. They were able to fit me in same day. Thankfully Zigzag is ok but they were great about seeing him.
Beverly who is usually who I see up front is an absolute sweetheart. She never rushes people and is always so pleasant and kind. All the staff has been the same way. I feel like I found a great vet and so close to my house.

Dr. Amaral and staff are beyond caring. They spend time with you and your pet, and keep your pet in the best situation possible. Treatment is appropriate for my dogs different situations, with a measured approach that I really appreciate. No unnecessary tests that I have experienced before at other practices. Level of care is extraordinary. I have been coming here for many years with different DR's they have high level of experience and empathy. Vet techs too. I will not trust my animals to anyone else. Bravo!

The vet where your pet can win!It’s hard to find a vet that truly takes the time to care for your pet the way you would always imagine or want a vet to.This practice is intentionally kept small, is nestled out of the way in a nice peaceful pocket - it feels like you’re walking in Fort Ord or Toro Park and happen to stumble upon a nice caring vet.After moving here we searched long and hard for a good vet who isn’t rushing all the time or has poorly trained staff who don’t even know how to approach an animal non-violently. We were disappointed with other vets until we finally found this wonderful place.They aren’t out to get you on the price either. They know how to work with you at whatever your current financial situation is.Seriously, thank you for being good people. We love you and I hope we never leave!

Every time I bring my dog in, whether it's for something routine or an acute health issue, the staff here is so kind, caring, and thorough. They have been flexible when scheduling appts, understanding of my pets specific needs, and always go out of their way to take excellent care of both of us. Anytime I meet or talk to someone who has a pet, I recommend this clinic because they are truly wonderful souls and exceptional at what they do. I feel so very lucky to have them caring for my pup.

Steinbeck has been really helpful and great quality service for us and our puppy. We are first time puppy owners and their puppy starter pack was reasonably priced and helped us navigate vaccinations and heart-worm protection etc.Our pup a few weeks ago ate a stuffed toy (classic) and they helped us navigate what to do over then phone and it was successful- dodged a emergency vet visit thanks to them!Highly recommend this vet for our area!

I have been coming to Steinbeck Small Animal Clinic since they opened. I have seen both vets and love them both. The staff is the best. They are always friendly and very communicative. Everything is easy there. I highly recommend.

We have been treated very well there.To bad a large company now owns a local animal hospital.
