Compassionate Vet 💕
My dad asked me to share this on his behalf to show his gratitude for Dr. Fabian, our local vet.
Recently, my dad had to make the heartbreaking decision to put down his beloved dog, Bruiser — a 13-year-old pit bull who was his companion and best friend. Fabian was there for him during this difficult time and helped make an unbearable experience more bearable.
What stood out most to my dad was Fabian’s kindness and compassion. He truly cares about animals and their families, explains everything with patience, and doesn’t take advantage of people in vulnerable moments. It’s not about the money for him — he is fair, honest, and deeply dedicated.
My dad wanted everyone in our community to know that Fabian is not only a great vet, but also a genuinely good person. ❤️

Professional and Friendly Vets
For 15 years Vets Sayulita helped save, rescue, treat 20+ rescue dogs that I rescued or fostered then got adopted up north. Jose Gomez was the first with Noeli, now his son Miguel Gomez, and last but not least, highly trained Fabian Gomez Roy. They go above and beyond for animals brought to them. I can never thank them enough for helping animals!

AWESOME VET and PRICES ARE TOO LOW!
This guy - and his lovely assistant - are wonderful. My small chihuahua-mix had two little anal tumors (10 years old) and need to be neutered. I was worried because of his age - and it was a bit scary as it took 2 hours after for him to 'wake up' - but all went well with the excellent care from these folks. He charged me only 500 pesos for the surgery, medicine, and stitches removal - too low, I gave a tip and will be back for more visits to give him more business.
Thank you from Molly & Tiger. XXOO

Highly professional and kind people.
I was concerned about taking a newborn pup to the vet in Mexico, but I did not need to be. The service was highly professional. The room was clean and the examination table was sanitized between each client. The vet saw us promptly, was fluent in English and was very knowledgeable. They had great puppy products, and the girls at the front could not have been more helpful. All and all, a great experience.

Best Veterinarian in Town!
Dr. Jose Avelar is the most excellent Veternaian that I have come across since I started rescuing dogs 30 + years ago!
He is intelligent, has a great sense of humor, but most importantly, can pinpoint a problem within a matter of minutes. He is kind and shows a great deal of compassion towards both animals and the worried parents of our babies! Great Dr. I highly recommend him!

Great Vet
Immediately diagnosed my dog's illness as parvovirus even though he had been vaccinated. Tested him within minutes and confirmed the diagnosis. Treated him with shots and helped me monitor his recovery. A kind and gentle man. Thank you for saving my dog's life!
