Compassion/Fear Free Pet Handling

Some pets hate going to the veterinarian and act accordingly. But our veterinarians and staff understand that most pets are scared, not mean.

The “Fear Free” Certification Program teaches special handling methods that help calm the pet. Using these techniques leads to fewer anxiety triggers, less stress, and a better experience for you and your pet.

Dr. Smith is “Fear Free” Certified and our staff utilizes as many of the "Fear Free" handling methods as possible.

We Treat Clients as Partners

We understand that clients want to be part of the decision making process. So our veterinarians try to explain things in terms that clients can understand, This sets us apart from other animal hospitals.

During diagnosis, we explain why we recommend certain tests and their potential value. Then we explain what the test results mean, and we discuss treatment options.

​Client communication at each step along the way enables us to make decisions together.

We Have the Best Signs!

"Petaluma Veterinary Hospital's signs are just purr-fect!"

Pet Examinations

Pets are a part of the family, and every responsible owner wants to ensure that their pets are in the very best of health. Your pet can't tell you what is wrong, but our examinations aim to discover the source of any problem, or indeed prevent them before they arise.
