Animals Only - San Diego, California

We couldn’t be more happier with Animals only. All staffs are so kind and helpful. The place is super clean and organized. They took such a good care of my 14years old boy. He was hesitate to go in for the treatment at first and now he’s so excited to go get therapy everytime. They took their time with each one of his session making sure he was doing well and comfortable. I would recommend Animals only for anyone who’s looking to rehab their dogs anytime. We are so happy we found them.
Now my 14years old boy will be living a healthy and happy life and can stay with me for the longest time❤️

I can’t say enough good things about Animals Only and the incredible team led by Dr. Schuda. My dog Frankie had a complicated left TPLO surgery that left him with a “wonky” leg, a pronounced limp, pain, and reduced mobility. It was heartbreaking to watch him struggle both physically and mentally. However, from the moment we walked into Animals Only, I knew we were in the right hands, and I felt hopeful for the first time in months.
Dr. Schuda demonstrated incredible care and attention to detail throughout Frankie’s rehabilitation process. She was transparent about results and cost and developed a customized treatment plan that addressed his unique challenges, including gym time, hydrotherapy, shockwave therapy, and laser therapy. The entire team’s expertise and consideration were evident at every step. Moreover, they were patient with me and answered my myriad of questions every visit.
The entire team’s dedication to Frankie’s recovery was truly exceptional. Thanks to their efforts, Frankie is now moving better than I thought possible; his limp is almost nonexistent, his pain is under control, and he’s back to enjoying life in a way I hadn’t seen in months. He even got a graduation bandana and a card signed by everyone at the clinic; it was SO sweet.
I am deeply grateful to everyone at Animals Only for providing such a high level of service and care. They gave me back my happy, active dog, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone whose pet needs rehabilitation. Thank you all so much!

I cannot recommend Animals Only highly enough! After my dog, Dusty, underwent bilateral TPLO surgery, we were anxious about her recovery and the best way to support her healing. The team at Animals Only was incredible from day one. They provided a detailed and personalized treatment plan, which included hydrotherapy, laser therapy, and exercises tailored to Dusty’s needs.

The staff is not only knowledgeable and professional but also incredibly compassionate. They treated Dusty like one of their own, and it was clear that her well-being was their top priority. Each session brought noticeable improvements.

Thanks to their care and expertise, Dusty is back to her playful self and enjoying life again. If your pet needs physical therapy, this is the place to go. They truly go above and beyond!

The team at Animals Only has been a huge help in treating a neurological issue that has been affecting her mobility nd coordination since Feb 2024. When we first got started at Animals Only, Klo would hardly feel any sensation in her back paws.

With a combination of laser, massage, acupuncture, underwater treadmill, and rehab exercises, we've been able to slow the decline that started earlier this year.
While we know she will never get back to 100% given her age and condition, our twice a week visits have definitely helped maintain her muscle mass and flexibility, and overall happiness. She LOVES it there, and literally refuses to walk towards the door when it's time to leave!

From day 1, everyone at Animals Only has been super easy to work with, they take the most detailed notes to ensure continuity of care for Klo, and they have had some really creative suggestions for things to help make our lives easier at home.

I'm so grateful to have found Dr Schuda and the team at Animals Only. They truly care about Klo and I, and I appreciate how invested they are in her care!

I knew Animals Only was the right place from the moment I sat in the waiting room on my first visit. Every dog that walked through the door was wagging their tail, excited to be there—it spoke volumes! The staff is beyond friendly and welcoming. They took the time to thoroughly explain every treatment option, giving me a clear understanding of what to expect and why each step was important. The energy in this facility is incredibly genuine, and it’s obvious their main focus is the well-being of the animals. I couldn’t recommend Animals Only more—this place truly cares about helping our furry friends heal and thrive!

My sweet old girl has only been going to Animals Only for a short time now, but I can already see the improvement starting! Her regular vet recommended them to me, and I’m so glad that they did. Everyone there is so nice and accommodating. The space is large, very clean, and well-maintained. I love the mix of Western and Eastern medicine styles. So much variety, and so many options! I feel like a true partner in the care of my dog, and never feel like I’m being upsold.

I can’t possibly say enough good things about what Doctor Schuda has done for my family in caring for our bulldog. For one thing, our cranky little guy is absolute putty in her hands. He adores her and can’t wait to get through the door for his sessions. The clinic is calm, clean, professional, private and her staff are all just lovely.
Dr Schuda’s treatment recommendations for Diego have proven to be just what he needs for a healthy body and good quality of life. She’s also gone above and beyond to be available to consult with us at various points in time, from Diego’s diagnosis' to his surgery. Diego is still with us today thanks to her care, support and guidance.

Dr Shuda, Saje, Madison, Wendy & Dulce are simply the best. Thank you for making Rose’s road to recovery fun and engaging. As she graduates from therapy, she will continue to live a fun, active and healthy life. A million thank yous aren’t enough. I appreciate all you’ve done to treat her with respect and love!
