What do you wish pet parents knew about Natomas Veterinary Hospital?
At Natomas Veterinary Hospital, we believe exceptional veterinary care starts with strong relationships. As a privately owned practice, we’re able to focus on personalized, compassionate care—not quotas or corporate policies. We take the time to get to know you and your pet so we can provide care that’s tailored to their individual needs. Our goal is simple: to make high-quality veterinary care accessible, convenient and centered around the bond you share with your pet.
What services do you offer?
From wellness exams and vaccinations to same-day urgent care appointments, surgery, dentistry, laser therapy, and domestic and international health certificates, we’re here to support your pet through every stage of life.
Why are preventative care and dental health so important?
Preventative care is one of the best investments you can make in your pet’s health. Routine wellness exams, vaccinations, parasite prevention and annual lab work help detect problems early—often before your pet shows any signs of illness—leading to better outcomes and lower treatment costs. Dental care is just as important. Periodontal disease is one of the most common medical conditions in dogs and cats, and untreated dental disease can cause pain, tooth loss and even affect the heart, liver and kidneys. Professional dental cleanings performed under anesthesia allow us to safely clean beneath the gumline, take full-mouth dental X-rays, and treat disease before it becomes a more serious—and more expensive—problem. Being proactive helps pets live longer, healthier and more comfortable lives.
