San Diego is a very caring community with a wealth of animal rescues that cater to almost every species of pet. It is also unique in the rescue community in the fact that it’s home to an uncommon rescue with a variety of interesting pets. Wee Companions Small Animal Rescue is a unique cause because it is a rescue mainly dedicated to small exotic pets, such as rats, rabbits, hamsters, mice, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and various other animals in need.
Since Wee Companions’ inception in 1998, over 5000 animals have found refuge within its foster network. Read more…
First, our practice is growing! We’re currently looking for a new veterinary technician, one with a great positive attitude, a love of pets, and few years of experience. For more information about this position and where to apply, go to our “Join the team” page.
Also, we’ve updated the pictures and biographies of our staff. You can see these changes on our “Meet the staff” page.
Finally, construction on the new hospital is continuing full steam. There’s a large dirt pad by our front doors that will soon turn into a street and a new building that will eventually house the new administration office of Helen Woodward Animal Center and our new hospital. Stay tuned for details!

Our hospital is constantly expanding to accommodate the ever changing needs of our clients and their pets. A relatively new service that our hospital now provides is Vet-Stem Regenerative Cell Therapy. Vet-Stem therapy has been used for many years in horses that endured debilitating tendon, ligament and joint injuries. It was first used in dogs to treat osteoarthritis in 2005.
The controversy involved in embryonic stem cells is not an issue here. Vet-Stem cells are naturally occurring cells that are produced by a non-vital renewable tissue source from your pet. Vet-Stem cells are easy and safe to collect and the cells are available for use in the affected joint within 48 hours of collection.
Vet-stem cells are currently used successfully for the treatment of canine osteoarthritis, immune mediated rheumatoid arthritis and soft tissue repair of tendons and ligaments. Read more…
