Traditional Companion Animals

- Cats
- Puppies and kittens
- Adult and senior pets
Exotic and Nontraditional Pets
- Rabbits and guinea pigs
- Chinchillas, hamsters, and small mammals
- Reptiles, tortoises, and turtles
- Pet pigs

Comprehensive Veterinary Services in Laguna Beach
Our clinic provides preventive, medical, surgical, diagnostic, and integrative services designed to support your pet throughout every stage of life.
Preventive and Wellness Care
Routine examinations help us monitor your pet’s health, identify changes early, and create an age-appropriate preventive-care plan. Recommendations may include vaccinations, parasite screening, laboratory testing, nutrition, and weight management.
Same-Day Urgent Care
When a pet becomes sick or injured unexpectedly, same-day urgent veterinary appointments may be available during regular business hours. Please call before arriving so our team can assess the situation and prepare for your visit.
Veterinary Dentistry
We provide dental examinations, professional cleanings, dental imaging when indicated, extractions, pain management, and individualized home-care recommendations.
Veterinary Surgery
Surgical care includes individualized anesthetic planning, attentive patient monitoring, pain control, and closely supervised recovery. Procedures may include spay and neuter surgery, mass removal, and other soft-tissue procedures.
Diagnostic Services
Diagnostic testing may include bloodwork, urinalysis, digital radiography, cytology, and ultrasound coordination, depending on your pet’s symptoms and medical needs.
Acupuncture and Integrative Care
Veterinary acupuncture may complement conventional treatment for selected patients with arthritis, chronic pain, mobility issues, neurologic conditions, and other medical concerns.

Important Urgent-Care Information
Aliso Beach Animal Clinic is not a 24-hour emergency hospital. Same-day urgent appointments are offered during regular clinic hours when scheduling and case needs allow. Please call before arriving.
For severe symptoms outside regular business hours, contact a 24-hour veterinary emergency hospital.
Thoughtful Care Through Every Life Stage
A young puppy, kitten, rabbit, reptile, or piglet requires a different care plan than an adult or senior animal. We adjust our recommendations as your pet’s health, lifestyle, and needs change.
Early and Adult Care
- New-pet examinations
- Puppy and kitten care
- Preventive health planning
- Nutrition and weight management
- Dental care
Senior and Supportive Care
- Chronic-disease management
- Arthritis and mobility support
- Pain management
- Senior-pet monitoring
- Palliative and end-of-life care
Our goal is not only to treat illness, but also to preserve comfort, mobility, function, and quality of life.
