We are monitoring all of the fires across Northern California and hope everyone is staying safe. If you have been evacuated due to a fire and need assistance with boarding your pet, VCA Animal Hospitals in Northern California are offering free boarding. However, due to Covid 19, capacity may be limited and some hospitals may not be able to take in as many boarders as they would like. If you are in need, please call the specific location ahead of time to inquire about availability. Thank you.
We are returning to our normal business hours M-F 7am-7pm and Sat 8am-5pm and look forward to seeing your and your furry family members. Please call us if you need anything or want to make an appointment 831-427-3345. See you soon!

We know you’re so excited to go on some autumn nature walks with your dog, but for this #FallSafetyTip, make sure you watch out for snakes, some of which can be venomous! They’re preparing for hibernation and may be a little crankier if disturbed by a curious pet! 🐍
When walking or hiking, if something happens to your pet, be sure to contact your veterinarian as soon as possible. #VCApets
