Excellent!

I agree that he loves animals and runs his business out of that love. He's MUCH more reasonable than MOST vets. I have been taking my pitbulls to him for 12 years. He's the most reasonable for ear croppings & I recommend him to people from all sides of town. Don't be afraid of the Southside! You and your animals will be fine, don't be silly! I know many other places have fancy buildings and colorful paint, but sometimes that's all you will pay for. ($95 dollars for one shot? come on!) There are great Vets who truly love animals on all sides of town, and I just wanted to let you all know that Dr. Riley is one of those Vets.
FOR EXAMPLE: my oldest dogs last visit cost me $200 including the visit, lab/blood work, & antibiotics. I called several places and this same care would have cost $600-$800 most places. This guy does it for love NOT to get RICH. He's awesome!!!

We've been taking our pets to Santa Cruz for several years. Most of the dogs were rescue animals with health problems. A Katrina flood rescue dog with heartworm went through her treatments with ease.
I'd recommend Santa Cruz, the vet there is a hard worker and loves the animals in his care.
