Preventative Medicine
Our preventative medicine program focuses on early disease detection and lifelong health management. Annual wellness exams, vaccinations tailored to lifestyle risks, parasite prevention, and nutritional counseling help pets maintain optimal health. Regular checkups reduce long-term medical costs by addressing issues before they escalate into serious conditions.
Internal Medicine
We diagnose and manage complex internal conditions like diabetes, kidney disease, and thyroid disorders using advanced diagnostics. Our team employs abdominal ultrasounds, echocardiography, and endoscopy to treat metabolic diseases and immune-mediated conditions with personalized treatment plans.
Veterinary Surgery
Our surgical services include spays/neuters, mass removals, foreign body extractions, and amputations with comprehensive pre-op testing and post-op pain management. Advanced monitoring ensures patient safety during procedures, with detailed recovery instructions provided for home care.
Dental Care
We provide complete dental services from routine cleanings to extractions and X-rays. Preventive care addresses periodontal disease that can lead to systemic health issues. Our team educates owners on home dental hygiene practices to maintain oral health between professional cleanings.
End of Life Care
Compassionate euthanasia services are offered in a private setting with emotional support for pet owners. We provide cremation options and referrals for in-home euthanasia, guiding families through end-of-life decisions with dignity and respect for their pet's comfort.

I have two vets, this one and No More Homeless Pets. I use NMHP more as they are cheaper. We recently adopted a new fur baby and needed him to been seen ASAP as he had an issue with one of his eyes. NMHP didn't have an appt until Nov so I brought him here. They were able to get me an appt same day I called (which was great). Front desk was ok - I agree with some of the comments about the receptionists not acknowledging you right away. They will look at you, not greet you, go back to what they were doing and only when done will they greet you and ask how they can help. Waited 10-15 min after our

Hands down the worst vet experience.
Genuinely disgusted with the vet technician and Dr. McCall Sr during our last visit. Will not be returning due to incompetence and lack of remorse for screaming and yelling at our dog behind closed doors. The dog is 1 year old and all previous vet visits have been unaccompanied by us due to COVID-19 Restrictions not allowing visitors inside the building with their animals. Its clear his previous visits have been unsuccessful yet the staff decides to not adapt their approach of handling the animal; see incompetence above.

Dr Chase McCall was EXCEPTIONAL not only in his medical skills but also his people skills. I was very worried to have my 11 yr old French bulldog put under anesthesia because it can be a problem for dogs that dont have a snout. I love my dog and was probably a terrible pain in the neck! He communicated with me from beginning to end and was wonderful. The entire team at San Pablo Animal Hospital are incredibly caring people. I would never go anywhere else for care of my dog.

We've been bringing our dogs there for years. They are always polite, professional and personable. Not only have they taken care of our dogs over the years, they have assisted with their medical needs, grooming and even handling their last days with compassion and care. We have recommended them to several of our friends and family members and will continue to do so.

I requested a second opinion from San Pablo. They were awesome. My vet mussels my dog. These great techs found no need. I really appreciate the kindness and care I was shown.

Great experience. Staff was super friendly and they are very covid conscious. I was very pleased with their services and their prices. The Dr. took her time and answered all my questions and addressed all my concerns. I will recommend them to others.
