My dog may not have ever been classified as an “ emotional support dog “ but for the last 15 years, he’s been nothing short of that. Through college, buying a home, getting married and making him an older brother to tiny little humans, he’s seen and been through it all with me. As he’s gotten older, unfortunately, he’s required more advanced medical help. I was recommended here and honestly, best decision to go here. The front staff was amazing and the vet herself was the sweetest. They were so professional and patient. They didn’t just tell me my dog was ill - they took the time to show me and thoroughly explain what was going on. I felt so much comfort and joy knowing that he was in such good hands. Thank you 🙏🏼

A+ animal hospital with friendly hard-working staff, and very smart and knowledgeable doctors. My cat Millie’s life was saved thanks to the doctors here. The waiting room is very clean with water, tv, tea and coffee, and they have an outdoor area if you want some air. If I had another emergency this is the place I’d bring my cat back to. Thank you moonlight staff and doctors for making me feel at ease and helping little Millie.

I am already a huge fan of Dr. Halsey and her other two veterinary practices -- Rancho San Carlos Pet Clinic and Tell Tail Veterinary Urgent Care, both of which are within about 3 miles of us. When our shih tzu Zorro started limping because of a tender toe on Sunday, we decided to wait until Monday to see if he could be seen by either location because the toe wasn't terrible and we wanted to go somewhere that knew his history. But unfortunately, by Monday morning, his toe was red and angry so he had to be seen ASAP. They recommended going to Moonlight as soon as they opened at 11am so he could be seen immediately. We weren't thrilled about driving 30 miles, but wow, this facility is as good as it gets -- it even has an elevator from the parking garage to the lobby, and it has a nice outdoor courtyard where we waited for them to open. Sarai was expecting us and welcomed us in, greeting us with kindness and care as she checked us in to the spacious and bright lobby. Then vet tech Juliette took us into a sparkling clean exam room with lots of natural light. She took the time to understand what was going on with Zorro, and had clearly familiarized herself with his history before she saw us. Then we met Dr. Soares -- I mean we ADORE Dr. Halsey but Dr. Soares is very close behind Dr. Halsey in our hearts now. She is thorough, understanding, compassionate, smart, personable, and above all, an excellent communicator. Dr. Soares and her whole team took care good care of our boy during his time there -- her treatment paid off almost immediately as he wasn't limping when we left. And two days later, his bright red toe looked almost as good as new. We are THRILLED to have Moonlight as an option for urgent care. We wouldn't hesitate driving this distance again. And even more exciting, they're now expanding their services with specialist care. I really can't say enough about them, as my wordy review will attest. Thank you, Moonlight Team!!!!

My new favorite local veterinarian in Encinitas (and I have tried various). They took the time to really understand my pups issues, they followed up with me to make sure she was recovering, and everyone there is smart, friendly and part of a team where my pet was at the center. In particular Dr. Karen was amazing. My dogs case is complicated and she really took the time to think through possible root causes. My dog actually wanted to go back into the vet when we had follow up work and felt totally at ease with Dr. Karen. Thank you from me and Lua!!!
