Our veterinarians assess weight, dental health, and organ function while providing vaccination updates and parasite prevention. Early detection of potential issues ensures timely intervention for long-term wellness.

Professional dental cleanings treat periodontal disease and prevent tartar buildup. We perform tooth extractions, gum disease management, and oral hygiene education to protect against painful infections that can impact organ health in cats.

Spacious two-level condos provide room for exercise and relaxation. Our boarding includes litter box access, medication administration, and daily health monitoring in a quiet, dog-free environment designed specifically for feline comfort.

Regular grooming maintains skin and coat health through combing, bathing, and nail trimming. Sedation options ensure safe handling for anxious cats while our technicians provide breed-specific haircuts and mat removal services.

Excellent grooming experience for my 8 mo old long hair Exotic kitten! Shaved his belly/underarm areas to remove some mats he wouldn't let me brush out, and removed a huge amount of undercoat on the rest of him. Trimmed his nails short. No sedation necessary as they gave him breaks in between grooming sessions. He came out super soft and sweet smelling and pretty relaxed. Educated me as to their techniques.

No bath required either. I've been able to keep it up. I live far away but I will make the drive whenever he needs an extra thorough grooming/shaving in the future! Took Reggie back in this week for his summer groom with cool belly shave. He sure approves!

Sierra at the front desk was so nice & sweet. They board cats when you go out of town too. The vet was amazing. Someone dumped or left their pregnant young cat & we started to feed her. Took her here to have her checked out to make sure it was okay to bring her around our other inside cats. Everyone was very good with her & reasonable prices as well. She is now inside & will be having her kittens in 1 1/2 to 2 weeks. We had her checked for fleas, ear mites, feline aids, & leukemia. Negative on everything. Thanks a bunch Larkspur for seeing Love

Dr. Smith is kind and thorough, he understands cats (even VERY cranky, senior ones like mine) and has a gentle demeanor with them. I appreciate Dr. Smith and his staff for taking care of my old girl and helping us get her health back on track. He was able to identify her issues and explained treatments options to me in a way that was easy to understand. The Larkspur Cat Clinic staff are also very kind and helpful! It is worth the 1 hour drive for me to ensure the best care for my senior kitty.

First time here. Very pleased. Dr Smith had a great touch with my cat, good thing because his two brothers need to go in next! He took his time talking to me about general cat health, and of course my boy, specifically.

Definitely a great vet who you can tell that cares about your cat. He also stays in the room to take the time to really explain information to you in a way that is easy to understand. I have boarded my cat here as well and it was a successful experience. My only complaint is their hours of operation. You really have to take time off to be able to catch their open hours.

I didn't take my cat here, but accidentally came in. They were kind and helped me find where I need to go though. The place right across the street. So thank you.

I have a baby Savannah Cat and searched around for a few days to find Larkspur Cat Clinic. Living in Mesa, there's not a lot of options for Savannah kitten care. Justin has been absolutely amazing by taking the time to explain not only what the issues are with with our baby kitty but why they might be happening. I will recommend anyone with a kitten or cat in the greater Phoenix area to take her to Larkspur because it's worth the drive regardless of where you live.
