Officially signing off (as a vet, will still be here in admin-spirit) for the next few months! Today was my last day seeing appointments for a while. I’m going on maternity leave and will be back in November. Thank you all for the well-wishes ❤️ Drs. Nunes, Cole and DiNinni + the rest of the team, will take awesome care of you. I appreciate all your support and loyalty—it makes going on maternity leave with a new business a lot less scary.

🔬🐶 Laser Therapy for Dogs: Science Meets Healing 🐾✨
Laser therapy is a high-powered photobiomodulation treatment used to reduce pain and accelerate healing in dogs. It’s basically magic, guys.

💡 How it works:
The laser emits near-infrared light that penetrates deep into tissues, stimulating cellular mitochondria to produce more ATP (adenosine triphosphate). This energy boost enhances cellular repair, reduces inflammation, and promotes vasodilation and lymphatic drainage, improving blood flow and tissue oxygenation.

📈 Clinical benefits include:
✅ Decreased inflammation & edema
✅ Accelerated wound and tissue healing
✅ Pain relief and neuropathy healing via tissue modulation
✅ Increased joint flexibility and mobility

Common uses:
🔹 Osteoarthritis
🔹 Intervertebral disc disease (IVDD)
🔹 Post-surgical recovery
🔹 Soft tissue injuries
🔹 Chronic wounds

Non-invasive, drug-free, and so well-tolerated — laser therapy is a valuable adjunct in veterinary rehab and pain management protocols.
🧬 Healing from the inside out — at the speed of light! 🌟

EW TICKS!

We recently saw this dog and pulled these massive, disgusting ticks off of him. This is a great reminder that it does not matter where you live: the woods OR downtown Sacramento, ticks are EVERYWHERE. The hope is that these guys didn’t transmit any diseases, but we won’t know for some time.

The reality is that some of these tick-borne disease are brutal. They are slow, insidious, hard to catch and can make your dogs very sick. Sometimes these diseases last their entire life and we can’t fix it.

Do you know what works to prevent these diseases? Tick preventative. Don’t even mess around with assessing your lifestyle and whether or not it’s worth it. Seriously all your dog has to do is walk outside their townhouse on their little concrete path and if they pass a bush or nice little patch of grass, they could be the bus the tick just hitched a ride out. (And the same goes for fleas!!)

Let us know if you need options for flea and tick prevention—we’re here to help.

‼️WARNING: Graphic photos! (…but I know y’all love these)‼️

Tinkerbell came to see us a few weeks ago for her bulging eye and loss of vision. Dr. Cole took one look at her and knew that was an eye we could not save 😞 Although we don’t know what happened to her eye in this case, we’ll often see this when there is trauma to little dogs (often from bigger dogs).

Luckily in Tinkerbell’s case, Dr. Cole was able to do surgery to remove the eye that day. And now TinkerBell is a little pirate and gets to live a happy and pain-free life 🩷 you can barely even tell she’s missing an eye in that first photo, can’t you? She looks great!

Everyone say hello to our newest vet, Dr. DiNinni! 🥰 We are so lucky to have her join our doc crew—she is bringing so much thoughtfulness and insight into our medical practices. Here’s a little hello from Dr. DiNinni herself:

Hi, I’m Dr. Angielee DiNinni. I grew up in California and then graduated from the University of Notre Dame with a degree in Psychology. I enjoyed working for several years as a veterinary assistant in a leadership role prior to graduating with honors from the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. I spent a year completing the prestigious University of Pennsylvania Small Animal rotating internship, which provided a breadth of experience as a doctor in many individual specialities within the field. I’m happy to be here at Sactown Vet now, where I have the opportunity to cultivate lifelong relationships with you and your furry family members. I believe that empowering you through client education enables you to make the best decisions for your family and feel confident in the health of your pets.

I love living just over the bridge in West Sacramento with my husband, two fabulous dogs, one cat, several chickens, and two ducks! I enjoy frequent tent camping, boating, visits with extended family, reading, and projects around the house. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets!

When your kiddos come in for surgery and need some extra TLC, we recruit our hospital mama, Maria, to provide the comfort. He was much happier being worn than he was staying in his cage… even though he had a heated cage and it was dark and soothing in there.

This spoiled kid knew what he wanted, and we were happy to give him what he needed 🥰👌
