Immunization and Wellness Care
We strive to prevent illness whenever possible. The time and effort invested in wellness programs has rewards for both pets and owners. Our wellness programs are designed specifically for your pet and include a comprehensive physical exam, internal parasite testing, heartworm and flea control, vaccination program, spay and neuter procedures and specialized blood tests for all life stages.
At Carmel Valley Veterinary Hospital, we realize that not every pet requires the same vaccinations. We tailor our vaccine schedules based on the individual needs and unique lifestyles of each pet.

You love your pet. When your pet is sick, you want the best care possible.

We cover all areas of internal medicine including cardiology, ophthalmology, neurology, dermatology, gastroenterology, oncology, endocrinology and others.
Behavioral Medicine and Nutritional Counseling
Illness doesn't always have a physical cause. Our veterinarians are trained in animal behavior and can help determine the cause of such disorders as separation anxiety and obsessive behavior, and then develop a treatment regimen for the client.
Some pets require special food, and all pets benefit from a balanced diet. Our trained and certified staff are available to help you choose the right diet for your pet to keep him or her happy, healthy and active.
Dental Care
Regular professional cleaning is important to maintaining your pet's teeth. We use a modern and safe ultrasonic cleaning device to clean each tooth thoroughly—above and below the gum line. Dental technicians polish teeth to create a smooth, lustrous tooth surface more resistant to plaque buildup. We believe preventative care is the best approach to for long-term oral health.
Advanced dental care is available by referral, including root canals, caps and braces.
Exotic Pet Care
Veterinary medicine for exotic pets is growing as the popularity of these animals increases. With better public education in health, nutritional and environmental management, all species have a greater chance for living longer and healthier lives. We employ staff veterinarians who possess experience in the care and treatment of exotics.
Microchipping
Microchips have helped reunite thousands of pets with their families. Microchipping your pet is a safe, effective way of helping ensure your pet will return home should he or she become lost. Carmel Valley Veterinary Hospital uses the resQ microchip system developed by Bayer. Ask your veterinarian today for details about microchipping your pet.
Pharmacy
Carmel Valley Veterinary Hospital offers a full array of the most up-to-date veterinary medicines, including those for treating heart disease, intestinal problems, skin disorders, and arthritis.

We also stock a wide variety of prescription foods that are designed to support good health and to treat numerous medical conditions such as kidney failure, heart disease, and food allergies.
Canine Weight Loss Program
Like their human counterparts, pets have trouble shaking off those extra pounds. Too many treats and not enough exercise leads to excessive weight gain, which can have far-reaching effects on your pet's overall health. Our veterinarians can help devise a weight loss plan for your pet. Our program combines diet, exercise and Slentrol (new medication for the management of obesity in dogs) for weight loss in overweight dogs. Please ask a hospital staff member for more information.
