Richard Hauser, DVM

I would highly recommend Dr Hauser and his team at San Marin Pet Hospital. He takes great care of my dog, Charlie. His treatment is conservative and to the point and his cost is very reasonable. We would do anything for our dog and I know he would too.

I am very surprised by the few positive comments, it makes me think I caught Dr. Hauser on a bad day.
I came in for a few shots for my 25lb dog. Dr. Hauser comes in, puts a thick rope around the dogs neck, lifts by the neck to put him on the scale, does not attempt to administer a shot before he declares the dog inconsolable and in need of a muzzle. (The dog was resisting a little bit, so fine, put a muzzle if it makes it easier for you). So he takes the dog in the back for a few minutes and comes back, asks me if I had the dog since he was a puppy (I have), and says he was acting like a rescue dog and gives me an dirty look. He said the dog was not like «regular» dogs and that something was wrong with him. News to me,
Short version: I expect professionals to act as professionals, and treat their customers with respect. His love for being a veterinarian clearly is long gone, it’s probably time to retire.

Dr, Hauser has been taking care of our dogs for many, many years now. He has always been kind, respectful and thorough. When our JRT was hospitalized with pancreatitis, Dr. Hauser helped me bring him home and bring him back to health. He later developed Cushings and due to Dr. Hauser’s diagnosis was able to continue to live for several more years until he passed away at the age of 15. Dr. Hauser always gave us a realistic idea of what treatments were needed and the likelihood of success. I am grateful for his kindness. We now have a lab poodle mix and he will see Dr. Hauser too.

Dr Hauser is wonderful! After 14 years using another vet in Marin, I finally made the switch from someone who saw $$ signs every time I walked in the door to someone who truly cares about my dog. She was slowing down significantly and I was greatly concerned, but didn’t want to torture her with unnecessary procedures. Dr. Hauser gave her a thorough examination, spent a good amount of time talking to me and husband and prescribes some aarthritis medication and «brain function improvement vitamins». Our wonderful old girl is pain free and perky again after just one week! Dr. Hauser even asked us to give him an update to see if the meds had any impact. He’s a smart and caring man that I recommend most highly!

Dr. Richard Hauser is a wizard. After one visit last summer, my cat’s chronic ear problem for the first time was accurately diagnosed & treated. We had been to at least 3 other vets. He is super-​knowledgeable, highly experienced & compassionate. Could not ask for better care~!

Great, knowledgeable, experienced vet. He is reasonably priced and is also very accommodating. I would not take my dog to any other vet. HE IS THE BEST!

Outstanding service– diagnosed what turned out to be simple when 2 other vets couldnt. Dr Hauser was straightforward and ended up costing me half what I paid at either of the other 2 vets. would go out of my way to recommend.

Nice vet. took good care of my dog. Seemed a little pricey, but he had to put my dog under, so I guess that is expensive. Still going to him, so I can’t be that upset.
