COMPLETE CARE FOR DOGS, CATS & EXOTIC PETS
Aliso Beach Animal Clinic provides comprehensive veterinary care for dogs, cats and many exotic pets in Laguna Beach. Our services range from preventive medicine and same-day urgent care to diagnostics, surgery, acupuncture and cold-laser therapy.
Every pet has different medical needs. Our veterinary team takes time to understand your concerns, examine your pet and recommend a personalized treatment plan based on your pet’s age, species, lifestyle, medical history and current condition.
Use the service categories below to learn more about the care available at Aliso Beach Animal Clinic. Call us when you are uncertain which service your pet needs or when your pet has developed a sudden medical concern.
Routine veterinary care provides an important foundation for your pet’s lifelong health. Regular examinations allow our team to monitor changes, discuss prevention and identify potential concerns before they become more serious.
Preventive-care recommendations are personalized according to your pet’s age, species, lifestyle, health history and potential exposure risks.
EXPLORE GENERAL & PREVENTIVE CARE
When your pet suddenly becomes sick or injured and cannot comfortably wait for a routine appointment, call Aliso Beach Animal Clinic. We provide same-day urgent veterinary care during regular clinic hours and welcome walk-ins when availability allows.
We evaluate many non-life-threatening concerns, including vomiting, diarrhea, limping, minor wounds, eye or ear discomfort, skin reactions, urinary symptoms and sudden behavioral changes.
Please call before arriving so our team can assess your pet’s condition, confirm availability and determine whether our clinic is the appropriate destination.
Aliso Beach Animal Clinic is not a 24-hour emergency hospital. Pets experiencing severe breathing problems, collapse, uncontrolled bleeding, major trauma, repeated seizures or another life-threatening condition may require immediate treatment at a 24-hour emergency facility.
LEARN ABOUT SAME-DAY URGENT CARE
Diagnostic testing helps our veterinarians investigate symptoms, evaluate organ function, monitor ongoing conditions and gather important information before certain medical or surgical treatments.
Depending on your pet’s condition, recommended testing may include bloodwork, urine or stool testing, diagnostic imaging or other laboratory services.
The tests recommended will depend on your pet’s symptoms, examination findings, age and medical history.
EXPLORE VETERINARY DIAGNOSTICS
We understand that the thought of surgery can be stressful. Our veterinary team takes careful steps to prepare each patient, monitor vital signs, manage discomfort and support recovery before, during and after a procedure.
Surgical recommendations are based on a complete veterinary evaluation and your pet’s individual medical needs. Pre-anesthetic testing may be recommended to help us assess health risks and create an appropriate anesthetic plan.
Availability depends on the type of procedure and the patient’s condition. Some pets may require referral to a veterinary surgical specialist.
Our integrative approach combines conventional veterinary medicine with carefully selected supportive therapies when appropriate. Holistic care considers the complete patient, including diagnosis, comfort, mobility, nutrition, environment and quality of life.
Integrative treatments do not replace necessary diagnostic testing, medication, surgery or emergency care. Instead, they may be incorporated into a broader treatment plan based on your pet’s condition and individual needs.
Dr. Bryan Hayter trained in veterinary acupuncture through the International Veterinary Acupuncture Society and evaluates each patient before recommending an integrative treatment.
EXPLORE HOLISTIC & INTEGRATIVE CARE
Birds, rabbits, reptiles and small mammals have medical, nutritional and environmental needs that differ from those of dogs and cats. Our team provides veterinary care and guidance for many exotic species.
Because exotic animals often hide early signs of illness, changes in appetite, stool production, breathing, posture or normal behavior should be taken seriously.
Call before scheduling or arriving so our team can confirm that we treat your pet’s species and determine how urgently your animal should be evaluated.
When a pet’s comfort or quality of life has significantly declined, our veterinary team can help you understand the available options and make a compassionate, informed decision.
End-of-life consultations may include a review of your pet’s medical condition, comfort, mobility, appetite, behavior and quality of life. When euthanasia is selected, our team strives to provide a peaceful and respectful experience for the pet and family.
We take time to listen to your concerns, examine your pet and explain the recommended treatment options.
Our team provides medical care for traditional companion animals as well as many birds, reptiles, rabbits and small mammals.
When medically appropriate, we can combine conventional care with supportive treatments such as acupuncture and cold-laser therapy.
We offer same-day evaluation for many sudden illnesses and minor injuries during regular clinic hours.
Aliso Beach Animal Clinic is located on Coast Highway directly across from the Montage Laguna Beach.
Contact us when you are unsure which service to select. Tell our team about your pet’s species, symptoms, medical history and how long the concern has been present. We can help determine whether your pet needs a routine appointment, same-day urgent care or treatment at a 24-hour emergency hospital.
Do not use an online appointment form for a life-threatening emergency.
