What Our Clients Say

Jody H.
BetterVet San Diego

I couldn't be happier. They were very communicative up to arriving, and they were awesome to my cat. Such a better alternative than traumatizing her with a trip to the vet!

Gary Lewis
BetterVet San Diego
Was a great experience. Both the Vet and Vet Tech were friendly and treated both my dogs with loving care. Will very much be my go to for them in the future.
Jennifer Bishop
BetterVet San Diego
Both the vet and the vet tech were extremely kind, caring and helpful. I really appreciated that my super senior, 18.5 year old cat was able to get an assessment in home instead of a sterile vet office.
Wendy Holcombe
BetterVet San Diego
The Signature Veterinary Services is absolutely amazing!! The staff is super nice and their attention to my pets is excellent.
Abigail Carroll
BetterVet San Diego
Dr. Klaus is a local celeb when he shows up to our house, we have seen him over the years with all of our fur babies and now he comes right to us! We made a big move to Hawaii and were so over whelmed with the travel protocol to bring our pup with us that we considered leaving her behind as we were too afraid of her being taken and locked away quarantined. After working with Dr. Klaus, we were able to navigate the way and sort her paperwork so we could walk right off the plane with her and bring her home. Thank you so much to BetterVet for offering a better service and thank you to Dr. Klaus and his super star vet tech Meaghan for keeping our family together! We are so grateful to you for everything!
Debby J
BetterVet San Diego
BetterVet was so perfect for us. We have a nervous golden retriever...going in the car to the vet was scary for her. Having Dr. Klaus and his assistant come to the house was wonderful. He sat on the floor with my dog...so relaxing, yet efficient. Clara had a full exam, shots, and treatment of a hot spot and was a happy dog! Great!

The virtual visit went well, the vet was on time and helpful. We were able to easily schedule a follow up visit at our home with a vet for the same week.
