Can Vetco Wellness Clinics treat my sick pet, or just vaccinate?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Ragdoll | Female | unspayed | 4 months and 1 day old | 4 lbs

I took my kitten to a Vetco Wellness clinic today (3954 Sports Arena Blvd) because she has diarrhea, and was told that they only do vaccinations. The Vetco website is giving out the wrong information, and I wasted 1/4 tank of gas on that trip. Please update the information on the Vetco website to reflect what they actually do.

My sincere apologies for the confusion, as well as the time you spent traveling and ultimately not being able to get help for Bandit. The Vetco Clinics only provide vaccinations and a few services for well patients, such as routine blood work, fecal exams, and the prescription of flea/tick and heartworm preventives. I will certainly pass your concerns along to the web design team to ensure that any confusion is resolved.

In the meantime, I can let you know that we do have a housecall service in San Diego, and if you would like to get in touch with us by calling (858) 524-3370 or by emailing housecalls@Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.co, we'd be happy to schedule a home visit to get Bandit feeling better.
