About Us

For over 30 years, we've been a trusted, community-focused practice in Sacramento, blending gold-standard medicine with integrative care in a space intentionally designed for healing. As a fully Fear-Free practice, we offer conventional medicine alongside acupuncture, nutrition, Reiki, laser therapy, vibrational therapies, and advanced diagnostics. Our feng shui-inspired hospital features separate cat and dog entrances with "cookie bars," calming nature videos, and our resident therapy cat, Mocha, who recently celebrated a birthday with a new toy, Ferrari. We foster collaboration, continual learning, and transformation, honoring the human-animal bond with multi-generational clients and their companions.

Our Team

8 DVMs that are collaborative, consult freely on cases, and orchestrate plans for pets across a variety of modalities offered at the practice. Multiple skilled in surgery, dental, nutrition, alternative modalities, and more.

4 RVTs with over 10 years of experience each, 4 more pursuing a license, our assistants have 5+ years of experience, and we work closely with US Davis vet students.

Highly efficient, fully utilized, and extremely skilled technicians. Each doctor has 2-3 assistants as well as 3 for surgery days to support.

Incredible referral relationships, including specialists that come in for cardiology, orthopedics, radiology, ultrasound, etc.

We welcome the unique skills each new doctor brings, but we're especially excited about interests in orthopedic manipulation (chiropractic), ophthalmology, dermatology, ultrasound, or board-certified specialties. We also enjoyed mentoring an early-career doctor last year and would love to support someone interested in mentorship.
