Overview

At Black Mountain Animal Hospital, our family-owned team has cared for Rancho Peñasquitos dogs and cats since 1987. Led by Dr. Polosetski, our staff focuses on clear answers, practical treatment plans, and care that helps pet owners feel confident about the next step. We make veterinary care feel personal, straightforward, and easier to navigate

Since our opening in 1987, we have treated thousands of cats and dogs, and our services have evolved into a full-service veterinary clinic, offering our signature urgent care, as well as routine care such as wellness exams, vaccines, spaying/neutering, surgeries, dental cleanings, diagnostics and more comprehensive surgeries

Mission — At Black Mountain, our goal is to enhance the bond between pets and their owners through exceptional pet care. Many pets exhibit symptoms that require immediate attention but don't warrant an ER visit, and primary care clinics may not have the availability. Our animal hospital was established to provide pet owners with a quick, comforting, and comprehensive solution
