He is past president of the San Diego county veterinary association. He opened Cabrillo Pet Hospital in 1975 and is fortunate to still enjoy his “job” after more than 45 years.

By surrounding himself with such an experienced, caring staff, he has built one of San Diego’s most respected Veterinary Hospitals and Pet Care Centers.

Dr. Rose enjoys back packing, fly fishing, gardening and just about anything outdoors. He and his wife Leslie have one dog, four cats and four Koi fish and three children.

He has a 5 year old rat terrier named "Just" that he adopted from the humane society "He loves to join me on all my runs and backpack adventures."

He was certified in veterinary acupuncture by the Chi Institute in 2000. Acupuncture can treat many chronic diseases including arthritis and digestive disorders in both dogs and cats. He has been practicing in the Point Loma area since 2005 and is excited to continue to see previous clients and to meet new patients at Cabrillo Pet Hospital.
