Once again they are just amazing. My Tyson went today, thinking he was at the end of his journey. Dr. Castro was so amazing as usual. Said hes not going anywhere. Just old. Not suffering.

Bayshore is THE only option. All 4 of my dogs are treated and loved on Dr. Carnathan and Dr. Castro and the staff is friendly 100% of the time. It’s a blessing to have a vet that doesn’t minimize my worries but listens and reassures with kindness and honesty. View on Google (opens in new tab)
