Our Comprehensive Veterinary Services
At VCA Sacramento Animal Medical Group, we provide a full spectrum of veterinary services designed to meet every stage of your pet’s life. From initial wellness exams to complex surgical procedures, our hospital is fully equipped to handle diverse medical needs.
Preventive and Wellness Care
Prevention is the cornerstone of good pet health. Our preventive care services start from your pet’s first shots and continue throughout their life. Regular wellness exams allow our veterinarians to catch potential health issues early, when they are most treatable. We emphasize the importance of vaccinations, dental care, and nutritional counseling to maintain your pet’s optimal health. Our team works closely with pet owners to develop customized wellness plans that address each animal’s unique needs and lifestyle.
Advanced Diagnostics and Laboratory Services
Our in-house laboratory capabilities enable us to perform comprehensive diagnostic tests without delay. This means faster results and quicker diagnosis of health conditions affecting your pets. From blood work and urinalysis to imaging studies, our diagnostic services provide the detailed information our veterinarians need to make accurate assessments and develop effective treatment plans. With state-of-the-art equipment and trained technicians, we ensure reliable results and efficient turnaround times.
Surgical Services
Whether your pet requires routine spaying or neutering or more complex surgical procedures, our surgical team brings expertise and precision to every case. We utilize modern anesthetic protocols and monitoring equipment to ensure your pet’s safety during surgery. Our general surgery services include a wide range of procedures designed to improve your pet’s health and quality of life. When surgery is scheduled, we provide detailed pre-operative instructions and post-operative care guidance to support optimal recovery.
Geriatric Medicine
Senior pets require specialized attention to maintain their quality of life. Our geriatric medicine services are specifically designed for aging animals. We provide regular health monitoring, pain management, and treatment for age-related conditions. Our veterinarians understand the unique challenges that come with pet aging and work to address them proactively, ensuring your senior companion remains comfortable and active.
Health Certificates and Exams

Our thorough health examinations document your pet’s current health status and ensure compliance with travel and relocation guidelines. We handle all the paperwork and coordination needed to make the process seamless for pet owners.
Therapeutic Laser Treatment
Our facility offers innovative therapeutic laser treatment options that promote healing and reduce pain. Laser therapy is particularly effective for managing chronic conditions, post-surgical recovery, and musculoskeletal issues. This non-invasive treatment modality has helped many pets enjoy improved mobility and reduced discomfort without the side effects associated with some medications.
Hospitalization Services
When pets require extended care or monitoring, our comfortable hospitalization facilities provide a safe, clean environment. Our trained staff monitors hospitalized patients closely, ensuring they receive appropriate medications, nutrition, and care throughout their stay. We keep owners informed about their pet’s progress and involve them in treatment decisions.

Pre-Surgical Guidelines
When your pet is scheduled for surgery or a dental procedure, proper preparation is essential for ensuring a smooth surgical experience. Pets are typically admitted between 7:00 am and 8:00 am on the day of their procedure. To help prevent complications during anesthesia, we require that all cats and dogs have no food after midnight the night before surgery. Water is permitted up until admission time. Following these guidelines helps reduce the risk of aspiration and other anesthesia-related complications.
After surgery is completed, our team will call you to provide an update on how your pet is doing and inform you of the expected discharge time. Post-operative care instructions will be provided to help ensure proper healing and recovery at home.
