Please give a warm welcome to our new exotics veterinarian, Dr. Rebecca Aldoretta! 🤍🐾

Dr. Aldoretta graduated from Kansas State University in 2015. After graduation she underwent two years of additional training with a focus on emergency and critical care medicine. After several years working with small animals in general practice and emergency settings, she pursued a third year long internship in zoo, exotic and wildlife medicine. She has worked in a variety of fields including small animal general practice, wildlife, zoo and with non-traditional (exotic) pets. While she loves working with all animals, Dr. Aldoretta is especially passionate about non-traditional pets.

In her free time she enjoys exploring California, amateur birdwatching, reading fantasy novels and spending time with her fiancé Chip, her German Shepherd mix Maya and her two pigeons Hubert and Elara.

Because of Dr. Aldoretta joining our team, we are so excited to now offer care for exotic and non-traditional pets! From birds and reptiles to small mammals and more, we can’t wait to welcome even more unique family members into our clinic. If you’ve been looking for trusted exotic care, we’re here for you! 🦜🦎🐰💚

❄️ Winter Dental Special ❄️
Running only until the end of February, and we’ve got just a few spots left!
Every pet’s mouth is different 🐾 Some may need extractions, some may not, that decision is always based on what your pet needs. Everything else included is our standard dental package, with the same thorough care you know and trust.
If your pet has been due for a dental, now’s the time to book before spots fill up! 🦷✨
Call us to schedule before February ends!

We’re excited to share that Dr. Snow will be back from maternity leave right after Thanksgiving! 🩺🐾 We’ve missed her, and we know many of you have too!

With her return, we’ll be back to having three doctors on staff, so appointments should be easier to book moving forward. BUT her schedule is already starting to fill up, so if you’ve been waiting to see Dr. Snow, now’s the time to call and get on her books! 🤍

Veterinary Technician Appreciation Week was a blast! ✨

We took time to celebrate everyone on our incredible team, from vet technicians and assistants to receptionists and kennel assistants, because it truly takes a village 🐾

Huge thanks to our amazing reps who treated us with delicious food from Mama’s Cafe, Eddie’s, Panera, and Capulin Eats & Provisions. One of our vet assistant’s sister treated us to Lompoc Donuts this week too! Thank you!!!

And a special shoutout to our wonderful doctors for the sweet cards, surprise dirty soda bar, and dinner/margaritas at El Toro Bronco! Thank you to our clients for the uplifting notes as well. 💌

Feeling grateful, full, and seriously appreciated (:

Happy Veterinary Technician Appreciation Week! 🐾🤍

Our veterinary technicians are the heart of our hospital, the ones caring for your pets behind the scenes. They assist in surgeries, take X-rays, run lab work, monitor anesthesia, draw blood, place IVs, comfort nervous patients, and so much more. Their compassion and skill help keep every tail wagging and every purr strong.

This week, we’re celebrating our amazing techs for everything they do to care for your pets like their own. Stay tuned, we’ll be sharing later this week how we celebrated our incredible team! 🤍🐶🐱
