About Our Hospital

​Dedicated to the Health and Well-Being of Your Pet

Occidental Veterinary Hospital is located in the historic town of Occidental, California. We are a full-service companion animal hospital serving not only cats and dogs but also exotic animals. It is our commitment to provide quality, comprehensive veterinary care throughout the life of your pet. Our services and facilities are designed to assist in routine preventative care for healthy pets, early detection and treatment of disease as your pet ages and complete medical, dental, surgical care during his or her lifetime. We are proud to provide both traditional and integrative holistic care to fit your individual pet’s needs.

Our experienced doctors and friendly staff are devoted animal lovers who really know how you feel when you are faced with an illness or injury of your family member. The care we provide in the intimacy of our small practice enables us to offer that personal touch which can often be missing in larger, corporate establishments.
