Our team is well-trained in the latest veterinary techniques and procedures, ensuring that your pets receive the best possible care.
Comprehensive Veterinary Services
Our clinic offers a comprehensive range of veterinary services to keep your pets healthy and happy. Regular preventive care is essential to maintaining your pet’s overall well-being. We provide vaccinations to protect against common diseases, as well as wellness exams to monitor their health. During these exams, our veterinarians will perform a thorough physical examination, checking their ears, eyes, teeth, and more. We also offer parasite prevention treatments to keep your pets free from fleas, ticks, and worms.
In addition to preventive care, we offer diagnostic services to identify any underlying health issues your pet may have. Our state-of-the-art laboratory allows us to conduct various tests, including blood work, urinalysis, and fecal examinations. These tests help us detect diseases and conditions early, allowing for prompt treatment and better outcomes.
Advanced Imaging and Diagnostics
Our clinic is equipped with advanced imaging technology, including X-ray and ultrasound machines. These tools enable our veterinarians to visualize internal structures and diagnose conditions that may not be visible on the surface. X-rays are commonly used to examine bone fractures, identify foreign objects, and evaluate organ health. Ultrasounds, on the other hand, are ideal for examining soft tissues, such as the heart, liver, and kidneys.
Surgical Procedures
When it comes to surgical procedures, you can trust our team of expert veterinary surgeons. We have a fully equipped surgical suite where we perform a wide range of procedures, from routine spays and neuters to more complex surgeries. Our veterinarians utilize the latest surgical techniques and adhere to strict sterilization protocols to ensure the safety and well-being of your pets.
Before any surgical procedure, we conduct a thorough pre-surgical evaluation to assess your pet’s overall health. This includes blood work and other tests to identify any underlying conditions that may increase the risks associated with anesthesia. During surgery, our team closely monitors your pet’s vital signs, ensuring their comfort and safety throughout the procedure. Post-surgery, we provide comprehensive aftercare instructions to promote a smooth and speedy recovery.
Dental Care
Oral health is an essential aspect of your pet’s overall well-being. Poor dental hygiene can lead to gum disease, tooth decay, and even systemic health issues. At Pacific Beach Veterinary Clinic, we offer comprehensive dental care services to keep your pet’s teeth and gums healthy.
Professional Teeth Cleaning
Regular professional teeth cleaning is crucial in maintaining your pet’s oral health. During the cleaning procedure, our veterinarians will carefully remove plaque and tartar buildup from your pet’s teeth. This process helps prevent gum disease and keeps their breath fresh. We perform teeth cleaning under anesthesia to ensure your pet’s comfort and safety throughout the procedure.
Dental Examinations and X-rays
In addition to cleaning, we also conduct thorough dental examinations to identify any dental issues your pet may have. Our veterinarians will evaluate their teeth, gums, and oral tissues for signs of infection, decay, or other abnormalities. If necessary, we may take dental X-rays to assess the health of the tooth roots and underlying bone.
Oral Surgery
In some cases, pets may require oral surgery to address dental problems. This may include tooth extractions, gum surgery, or treatment of oral tumors. Our veterinarians are experienced in performing oral surgeries and will ensure your pet receives the necessary care and pain management during the procedure.

These may include sudden illnesses, minor injuries, or concerns that cannot wait for a regular appointment. Our experienced veterinarians will assess your pet’s condition and provide appropriate treatment to alleviate their discomfort.
On-Site Laboratory and Diagnostic Imaging
During emergency and urgent care visits, our on-site laboratory and diagnostic imaging capabilities allow for quick and accurate diagnoses.

Prevention is always better than cure, which is why we emphasize the importance of preventive medicine. Our clinic offers vaccinations, parasite prevention, and regular wellness exams to keep your pets protected from common diseases and health issues.
Vaccinations
Vaccinations are essential in protecting your pets from contagious diseases. Our veterinarians will assess your pet’s lifestyle, overall health, and risk factors to determine the appropriate vaccination schedule. We offer core vaccines, such as rabies and distemper, as well as non-core vaccines based on individual needs.
Parasite Prevention
Parasites, such as fleas, ticks, and worms, can cause significant harm to your pets. We provide parasite prevention treatments to keep your pets safe and healthy. Our veterinarians will recommend the most effective preventive products based on your pet’s lifestyle and risk factors.

Diagnostic Testing
In addition to physical examinations, we may recommend diagnostic testing as part of your pet’s wellness care. This may include blood work, urine analysis, and fecal examinations. These tests provide valuable insights into your pet’s overall health and can help identify any underlying issues that may not be apparent on the surface. By conducting regular diagnostic tests, we can catch potential health problems early and provide appropriate treatment.

As pets age, their health needs change. Our clinic provides specialized care for senior pets, including regular health screenings, pain management, and tailored treatment plans. We strive to ensure that your senior pets enjoy a comfortable and fulfilling life in their golden years.
Regular Health Screenings
Senior pets are more susceptible to age-related diseases and conditions, such as arthritis, kidney disease, and cancer. To monitor their health and detect any issues early, we recommend regular health screenings. These screenings may include blood work, urine analysis, and imaging tests. By identifying potential problems in their early stages, we can implement appropriate treatments to manage their conditions effectively.
Pain Management
Chronic pain is common among senior pets, especially those with arthritis or other degenerative conditions. Our veterinarians are experienced in managing pain and can develop a customized plan to keep your senior pet comfortable. This may involve medications, joint supplements, physical therapy, or alternative treatments such as acupuncture or laser therapy.
Tailored Treatment Plans
Senior pets often require a more individualized approach to their healthcare. Our veterinarians will work closely with you to develop a tailored treatment plan based on your pet’s specific needs. This may involve adjustments to their diet, exercise routine, medication schedule, or additional support to improve their quality of life.

When a pet reaches the end stages of their life, it can be challenging to determine the right time to say goodbye. Our veterinarians can provide quality of life assessments to help you make informed decisions.
