✨✨✨✨✨I Highly recommend Templeton Main Street Small Animal Hospital. My beloved 15 yr old cat child, Sequoia, was blessed to have received such compassionate and professional care from Dr. Megan Drake and the entire team in her final days. Sequoia was suffering from hyperthyroidism, kitty dementia and arthritis, declining rapidly with a poor quality of life. I was in denial and delaying the inevitable. I hadn’t recognized that Sequoia had become my emotional support, not just a cat. Dr Drake understood this and guided me towards making the decision to let her go less painful. I wish I had found Dr Drake years sooner. ✨and……the sympathy card that was signed by all the staff was very much appreciated in my time of grief…..thank you for all you do……..✨

I’d like to start by saying that the actual veterinarians here are all amazing, and I’ve never had an issue with a single doctor. I’ve been bringing my two dogs to this clinic for about four years now, and until recently, I’ve always had a positive experience. My dog was prescribed medication on Friday. By that night, she began having a severe reaction - constant vomiting and diarrhea every 30 minutes. She finally started feeling better by Monday morning. I called Main St first thing (at 7:30 a.m.) on Monday and explained the situation to the front desk. I told them that my dog was now stable but that I wanted to speak with the prescribing doctor about an alternative medication, which we had already discussed at my appointment. The front desk insisted that I had to make a new appointment

I cannot say enough amazing things about this office and Dr. Ehlinger who owns it. We brought our elderly dog in, desperate, as he was on his third recurrence of pancreatitis in less than 2 months. The other vet we had been with stated it was time to start discussing options, as Cooper kept relapsing despite supportive treatments of fluids and antibiotics. I was tearful as Dr. Ehlinger asked to hold Cooper “because he is so cute” and then sit on the floor with him for most of the visit. Dr. Ehlinger was patient and thorough. After assessing the medical course thus far, requested to tweak the treatment to include a more intestinal focused antibiotic, appetite stimulants, and more targeted pain/nausea control. He also provided long term dietary advice and a sample of dog food to decrease our

If you are looking for the BEST care for your animals, look no further! Dr. Alex and Ms. Shay go above and beyond. Details are given in an easy to understand manner and questions are answered. Main Street Small Animal Hospital is an absolute GEM! Thank you to the entire staff. The vibes are excellent!

Over the years we have appreciated the small town feel of Main St. Vet and really liked the care our dog received from Dr. Ryan. We even make the effort to drive from Nipomo to Templeton for their care. Because we are punctual people and we had an 11:30 appt, we left our house at 10:30, only to find bumper to bumper traffic on 101. I called the vet to let them know we would be delayed and she said after 15 minutes they'd have to reschedule. According to GPS our arrival was 11:49. Once the traffic cleared we were driving as fast as possible to get there when the gal called to say that we'd have to reschedule as it's close to the Vet's lunch time. Really? We were already more than an hour in and literally 5 minutes away?! Soooo frustrating, as we turned around and drove another 45 minutes to
