ABOUT

OUR CLINIC

Our office on Carmel Rancho Blvd is easy to find and has plenty of parking. It is conveniently located right off of Highway 1.

 

Our comfortable decor and calm atmosphere feels more like a home than a clinic, and most animals feel more relaxed in this environment.

We diffuse pure essential oils into the air. The oils are both therapeutic and make the office smell refreshing.
