Veterinarian in Santa Ynez, CA

Welcome To Santa Ynez Pet Hospital

Santa Ynez Pet Hospital was built in 1983 by Dr. Bob “Doc” Dean, and has been a pillar of our cozy valley for over 40 years. Together, he and his wife, Joanne, have created a legacy of phenomenal patient care and a family oriented workplace. In early 2023, Doc and Joanne wanted to secure the future and core values of SYPH as a family-owned hospital, so they chose to sell the practice to a local veterinarian, father, and husband, Dr. Neshan Sarkisian.

With over 100 years of combined experience, Dr. Sarkisian, Dr. Dean, Dr. Edwards, Dr. Parker, and Dr. Zekaria continue to cultivate their knowledge and expand the hospital’s scope and equipment so that we may handle even the most challenging cases.

Inside of our unique rammed-earth, sustainably-built facility, we offer cutting-edge equipment, highly experienced veterinarians, and a fun loving staff. We are a full service small animal hospital that welcomes all medical, surgical, dental, and emergency cases.

Laparoscopic Surgery

We are the only general practice in Santa Barbara County that offers Laparoscopic OVariEctomies (ie. “LOVE” Spays), as well as laparoscopic gastropexies and exploratory surgeries. Dr. Sarkisian holds special certifications of training in these minimally invasive surgerical techniques. These surgeries allow for minimal invasion of the abdomen with only a small camera and 1-2 instruments, allowing for quick outpatient procedures with a short and relatively painless recovery.

Dental Care

Dental care is vital to the overall health of any pet. Dental disease can lead to health issues with the heart, liver, and kidneys and has the potential to seep into your pet’s bloodstream. In fact, 80 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats over three years of age suffer from some form of dental disease, making it the most common pet health issue among our pet population.

Microchipping

At Santa Ynez Pet Hospital, we are happy to offer microchipping. Every year, thousands and thousands of pets go missing. Not knowing where your pet is or how to bring them back can be a helpless, hopeless feeling. It’s a tragedy that happens all too often.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
My dog has an unknown eye infection and the team at SYPH got me in the same day I called to look at her eyes, as a problem in the eyes needs quick attention. Very thankful for their immediate attention and so glad to have Dr. Dean look at her, prescribe drops, and consult with me.

We have been going to this vet for our pets for the last 4 years and have always had a great experience with all the staff there. Our pets have been in great hands with them. I highly recommend this veterinarian.

Pedro B.

Many fond memories here (especially with the parrot when I was younger!) Sadly, I had to say goodbye to my Beagle, Popcorn, a few weeks ago, but I’m lucky I got to do it here. The vets and staff knew her well and it shows that they really care about the pet and owner. We’re very lucky to have such a good pet hospital in Santa Ynez!
