The Village Veterinary Hospital

The Village Veterinary Hospital Village Veterinary Hospital is a locally owned, full service animal hospital with a personal touch. We also offer pet acupuncture and stem cell therapy!

We love your pets like our own and are passionate about educating pet parents about the optimal care of their pets. We welcome both emergency treatment cases as well as pets in need of routine medical, surgical, and dental care. Dr. Julianna Wilcox recently bought the practice from Dr. Sue Morizi, who has owned and cared for pets for years in La Jolla Village and continues to lend her expertise

on a part time basis. Dr. Wilcox specializes in pain management and senior dog care, but is also great at working up complex medical cases, allergy and skin care, general surgery and dentistry. Come visit our beautiful clinic in the heart of La Jolla where we practice state of the art medicine with the conscientous and compassionate touch that only a locally owned pet hospital can provide.

This is Penny or Little Green Riding Hood! 😄 Penny had an ear infection, which led her to shake her head a lot, and that caused a condition called an aural hematoma. This is a special kind of ear "bruise" that causes a big pocket of blood to fill up and get trapped by the cartilage in the ear. It often requires surgery in order to fix it, like Penny had. Then they get a cute little bonnet to wear to keep them from shaking their head and causing further trauma to the ear. Happy healing, Penny!

This means they’re more prone to overheating in the summer heat.

Always provide shade, fresh water, and avoid exercise during the hottest parts of the day.

Keep your pets cool and safe—because they can’t tell you when they’re too hot!

Check the Pavement First! If it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their paws.

Asphalt can reach 130°F+ on sunny days—enough to burn paw pads in seconds.

Walk your dog early in the morning or later in the evening, and stick to grass or shaded paths whenever possible.
