Attention all clients:

Effective January 1, 2025, all chronic medication refills and prescription food will be filled through our convenient Home Delivery service available at shopmyvca.com or through our myVCA app.

We will still be offering to fill the first month of any new medication and trial food at the hospital, but then will move all refills over to myVCA to be delivered directly to you.

If your pet has a chronic medication or prescription food prescribed at our hospital, give us a call at 916-988-1721 so we can help get you started for future refills.

We thank you in advance for your patience and cooperation as we transition into this new format.

myVCA makes it easy for you to manage your pet’s health care. Refill prescriptions and buy food, medications, skin care products, supplements, supplies and more

It's hard to leave your pets at home when you have errands to run, but being separated could cause your pet to become overly anxious. It's important to be aware of separation anxiety to help your pet overcome it.

Make sure to schedule an appointment with your VCA veterinarian to discuss how to handle your pet's separation anxiety.

This week, we celebrated a very special work anniversary at the hospital. Our very own hospital manager Julia celebrated 29 wonderful years with VCA. Many people only know Julia as the amazing hospital manager that she is, but what they don't know is that she is also an extraordinary registered veterinary technician who specialized in dentistry. Over the years she has gone above and beyond the demands of a hospital manager and maintained her registered technician status to ensure she could help wherever she was needed in our hospital. Thank you Julia for your dedication and love for our work family, we couldn't do this without you. Happy work anniversary!!!
