Other hours by appointment.

Please call for an appointment; we are currently booking 2-4 weeks in advance. Depending on the severity of the issue your pet is experiencing, we may be able to offer drop-off appointments for emergencies. Doctors are on call as needed. We provide general medicine and surgery, and dental procedures. Common things we encounter are dermatology issues, allergic skin disease, ear infections, gastrointestinal problems, and routine surgical and dental issues. We are not affiliated with any specific specialty practices, and we can help to secure the best match between you, your pet, and a veterinary specialist. Specialty referrals include internal medicine, ophthalmology, dermatology, veterinary dentistry, behavior, cardiology, cancer therapy, and a host of others. For imaging such as X-Ray, Ultrasound, MRI or CT Scans, we utilize in-house equipment as well as traveling specialists to help aid in diagnostics. When specialists are necessary, our goal is to get your pet the best and most appropriate treatment... someone who does excellent work with whom you can relate well.

Dogs can vomit occasionally from eating too fast, dietary changes, motion sickness, or getting into something they shouldn’t. But repeated vomiting (more than once), vomiting that lasts over several hours, or vomiting paired with lethargy, not eating, diarrhea, bloating, abdominal pain, or dehydration can signal something more serious like pancreatitis, an infection, toxin exposure, or even an intestinal blockage. Puppies, seniors, and small dogs can also become dehydrated quickly.
📞 If your dog is vomiting repeatedly or seems unwell, call (858) 459-1516 so we can help you decide the next step.

Even a small amount of extra weight can make it harder for a cat’s body to regulate blood sugar and can put added stress on the hips, knees, and spine. Over time, overweight cats may become less active, have trouble jumping, groom less, or seem stiff, creating a cycle where they move less and gain more. The good news? Portion control, measured meals, and daily play sessions (like wand toys, lasers, or food puzzles) can make a big difference in your cat’s health and comfort.

Since they have small bodies, limited energy reserves, and high metabolisms, Yorkie pups may drop their blood sugar more easily—especially if they skip a meal, get overtired, are stressed, or aren’t eating well. Signs can include weakness, shakiness/trembling, wobbliness, acting “spacey,” unusual sleepiness, or just not acting like themselves. This can become serious quickly in very small puppies.

Consistent meals and routines are important, and young toy-breed puppies often do best with small, frequent feedings and careful monitoring of appetite and energy.
📞 If your Yorkie puppy seems weak, shaky, or “off,” call (858) 459-1516 right away so we can guide you on next steps.

As they grow, pigment develops in the iris and their eye color often begins changing around 6–10 weeks (sometimes continuing for a few months). Some pets keep blue eyes into adulthood, but for many, those baby blues gradually shift to green, amber, hazel, or brown. What color are your pet's eyes?

Plaque and tartar buildup can lead to painful infections, tooth loss, and even affect the heart and other organs if left untreated. Regular dental exams help keep your pet comfortable and healthy from nose to tail.

Did you know that cats have a unique anatomy? Their collarbone isn't connected to other bones, allowing them to be the ultimate contortionists! This incredible feature lets them slip into the tiniest of spaces, exploring every nook and cranny with ease. Does your cat do this often?

Ear position, tail height, posture, facial expression, and eye contact all provide important clues about how a dog is feeling. Subtle signs like tucked ears, stiff posture, or avoiding eye contact can signal stress, fear, or discomfort—sometimes even pain. Learning to recognize these signals helps prevent misunderstandings and allows health concerns to be addressed early. If you have questions about your dog’s behavior or body language, call (858) 459-1516.

Male cats are at higher risk for urinary blockages, which can prevent them from urinating at all. Warning signs include straining in the litter box, frequent trips with little or no urine, crying out, licking the ge***al area, or having accidents outside the box. A blocked urinary tract is a medical emergency that requires immediate care.
🚨 If you notice any of these signs, call (858) 459-1516 right away.

Did you know that a dog's nose is an incredible detective tool? 🐶👃 With up to 300 million scent receptors, dogs can pick up on changes in our health and other pets in the house before we even realize something's off. If your furry friend is acting differently or seems out of sorts, it might be their way of alerting you to underlying issues.
