2019 SBVG Holiday Party! Fun was had by all! Thank you to our loyal clients and their much loved pets for trusting the doctors and staff to care for you and yours! Wishing you a BRIGHT 2020!

EXCITING NEWS! San Roque Pet Hospital WELCOMES Dr. Tarashansky! Dr. Tarashansky (a.k.a. - "Dr. T") comes to us from U.C. Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. He has interests in internal medicine and surgery. Most of all he loves high quality, family veterinary medicine as he gets to foster and maintain long-term relationships with pets and their people.... Dr. T graduated from UCSB with a B.S. in Aquatic Biology. He is also an accomplished jazz musician and regularly performs on the Alto Saxophone and loves the piano as well. Don't be surprised if you see him playing at different places downtown Santa Barbara or even performing for fun on the street with friends. Dr. T was raised nearby in Agoura Hills where his parents still live. An interesting fact about him is he has an identical twin brother who is now receiving his PhD in bioengineering at Stanford. Dr. Tarashansky also loves reading, watching shows, and spending time hiking and biking with his great McNab Collie dog, "Koda". He can't wait to meet you and spend time with you and your pet(s) as well! Please help us in welcoming Dr. Tarashansky to our SBVG family!

Try to avoid overgrown areas. * After walks, examine their coats. Important areas to look after: feet, ears, eyes, nose, groin. ... * For longer coats, regular grooming appointments are important and at home brushing is important! * Know when to call us!
