Greg Haskell, D.V.M.


Dr Haskell was born and raised in California. He is a 5th generation Californian; his father’s side of the family came to Santa Barbara in the mid 1800’s. Dr Haskell grew up in the Los Angeles area. He did his undergraduate schooling at U.C. Irvine where he earned a BS in Biology. He then graduated from Veterinary School in 1981 from U.C. Davis. He completed a one year internship in Redding, California, after which he returned to the Santa Barbara area where he has lived and worked ever since. Dr. Haskell sold Adobe Pet Hospital to Dr. Brand in March of 2021 and retired December of 2021. Though he is retired, our doctors still call on him to help with special small mammal and reptile cases, as he always had a big interest in those patients. We enjoy seeing him in the hospital from time to time.
