Services
Vaccinations
We provide core and elective vaccinations for dogs, cats, and small animals to prevent infectious diseases. Our vaccination protocols follow AAHA guidelines and are tailored to each pet's lifestyle and risk factors. Regular immunizations protect pets from common illnesses while maintaining community herd immunity.
Dental Care
Our comprehensive dental services include cleanings, extractions, and periodontal treatment under anesthesia. Digital dental radiography helps diagnose hidden oral issues. Preventive care reduces tooth loss and systemic infections from oral bacteria. We educate owners on home dental care routines.
Parasite Prevention
We offer customized parasite prevention plans against fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal worms. Products include topical treatments, oral medications, and collars. Regular screening ensures early detection of parasitic infections. Our staff educates clients about regional parasite risks and prevention strategies.
Pet Surgery
Our surgical services include spays/neuters, soft tissue procedures, and emergency interventions. Advanced monitoring equipment ensures patient safety during anesthesia. Post-operative care includes pain management and recovery instructions. The surgical team maintains strict aseptic techniques to minimize infection risks.
Pain Management
We develop individualized pain control plans using multimodal approaches. Treatments include NSAIDs, opioids, and alternative therapies for chronic conditions. Pain assessments occur at every visit. Our protocols address acute post-surgical pain and long-term management for conditions like arthritis.

I can't yet rate them higher as we have only had the opportunity to visit one time for our puppy's initial checkup. However, we'll be going back soon to attend to some baby teeth that just didn't want to come out on their own. I was immediately aware that the front desk and provider had delt with anxious puppies before and were very accommodating of the stress that our puppy was exhibiting. Subsequent visit was even better than our initial appointment. If they keep up the great work, they'll easily make five stars on our next visit. Very patient staff with my anxious puppy made the entire experience much less stressful.

The woman at the front desk was very snarky and the passive aggressive tone was uncalled for. my dad has hearing loss and i was greatful he could not hear her tone. this place was recommended by someone but i will insist on not bringing any pets back here. after paying as much as we did for the proceedure to then give us an attitude about a cone. she could of just told us we could purchase one. never had an animal sent home with no cone and then told make sure he doesn't pull his stitches. seriously this woman attitude was so off putting. i waited two weeks to write this and i am still upset about it when i think about it. people s pets are family and it can be traumatic taking them in. if you don't like your job don't do it! don't work in a medical if you don't care about people or pets!

Efficient and on time. Appointments are often far out. yet when you get to the office, everything is in order and moves quickly. They use PetDesk for simplicity and accept CareCredit for pets.

Report
My 14 year old cat suddenly came down with a very bad upper respiratory infection. My regular vet knew I was bringing him in yet decided they weren't seeing anymore animals that day (three hours to closing) and told me to bring him in the next morning. I explained I wasn't sure he could make it until the next morning because he was struggling to breathe to no avail. I rushed to Pacific and ran inside telling them what was happening and they told me to bring him in.
They immediately took him to the back and his temp was 105! They gave him something to bring the fever down and within minutes I heard him stop crying. They constantly came out and updated me while another staff member was on the phone obtaining his records. They put him on an antibiotic and now my cat is right back to being the same loving, meowing and happy cat he always was. I cannot thank Dr. Sid and his staff for what they did for us and now we are switching our dog and other two cats to Pacific.

Took my 4 month old rabbit to see if I had a boy or girl bunny! It's a boy and Dr. Sid was so great with him! Taking him back to get him neutered. Highly recommend going to see Dr. Sid.
