Thank You Crown Veterinary Hospital!!!

Thanks to the staff at Crown Veterinary Hospital in Coronado. This is our preferred veterinarian, Jim Speir and his professional, courteous, thorough and trustworthy staff! We had to make multiple trips to the hospital this week, and our two dogs are healing perfectly! Only 10 minutes from downtown San Diego, we are proud to call Crown Veterinary hospital “Our Vet!” Make the trip over the bridge and say hello!
