A big difference.
Not here to sell you.
Here to help you.
We believe veterinary care should still feel personal. That's why Dr. Jorge Aranda founded Sunshine Animal Hospital: to bring care, warmth and honest communication back to the heart of medicine.
We listen. We meet you where you are. And we work together on a plan that makes sense for your pet and your family.
Expert hands.
Kind hearts.
A team of animal lovers, brought together by one simple belief: caring comes first.
Born in Chihuahua, Mexico, raised in Texas; undergrad at UTEP; St. George's University School of Veterinary Medicine with clinical year at Texas A&M (grad 2019). Practiced in northern California, then moved to San Diego and opened Sunshine Animal Hospital, driven by a lack of customer service and client communication in the field. Previously ran a mobile vet clinic (companion and farm animals).
During a very difficult time of having to say good bye to one of my fur babies...Dr. Aranda and his staff were exceptionally compassionate and caring... If you have fur babies and live in the Poway area, you need to change your vet today!
Your first visit,

We'll get to know your pet, answer your questions and make a plan together. No rush. No pressure.
