While CVC provides care for dogs and cats only, the lovely manatee is a favorite of Dr. Bessett!

Did you know manatees, also known as the sea cow, are herbivores with no known natural enemy? On , we want to give a very big shout out to all the zoo, wildlife, aquatic and other veterinary professionals out there helping to keep gentle giants healthy and safe!

We are so thankful to you all for allowing us the PRIVILEGE of caring for your beloved cat and dog family member!

Thank you.
All the best to you, always.
Be advised that we will be closed tomorrow, New Year’s Day, but will reopen on Friday 1/2/26!

Happy Friday everyone!
I wanted to share this Woods Humane Society post about this lovely dog named Judge. I got to meet this gentle old-timer while he was in foster care at our dear friend’s house in Los Osos. Please consider adopting this nice guy as he has been living in shelters for a couple years! All the best and happy holidays!

It’s a beautiful day in Morro Bay and the wonderful Dr. Bessett is tending to the newest members of our Coast Vet Clinic family!🐝🐝🐝. Our resident bee enthusiast is so excited to have another hive up and thriving after the devastating loss a couple years ago when a bear tore through her hives and wiped them out!

Good morning Coast Vet friends and family,
We are OPEN. As of this posting, best accessibility to our clinic is via Highway 1 to San Bernardo Creek. There is a road closed sign on the South Bay Blvd side of Quintana but flooding is minimal. It is expected that the sign will be taken down in the next hour with the rain letting up and tides going to low.
Stay safe and all the best, always.
