Arden Animal Hospital

Each year we have 3rd year UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine students come our way for two week externships. Victoria has spent the last two weeks working with our doctor team and technicians to help diagnose and treat our patients. In these pictures, Victoria is working with Cardiologist Dr Jackson and our Medical Director, Dr Fisk. We wish you the best Victoria. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with you.

“Tucker” and “Sadie” were back for their second puppy plan visit earlier this week. They’re growing up fast and still cute as a button.

We meant to share this cutie pie picture of “Stella” from a few weeks ago. She was so cute and adorable and she was a good sport when we hugged her fifty million times.

Two peas in a pod. “Tucker” and ”Sadie” had their first visit at Arden today and they saw Dr Pines. Precious might be one word to describe them.

Surprise, surprise. We have even more charming patients to share with you. Meet “Tiny Tim.” He is so precious and adorable and brave. He’s only mildly annoyed with us today. Happy Monday 😃

Please say hi to “Cosmo,” our very special and distinguished maine c**n kitty patient here for a dental teeth cleaning today. He is truly amazing. And handsome. And gentle and friendly. And sweet.

Here at Arden, we have an unwavering commitment to socialize every puppy. This little cutie is “Ponyo” and she loves to give kisses and wag her tail when you talk to her. She’s here for her first puppy exam. She’s so brave.

Please join us in giving Dr. Pines an enthusiastic welcome to our hospital. She and her husband have moved from the east coast and her search for an independent, family owned hospital started and ended with us. We are absolutely thrilled she's now part of the Arden family.

Dr. Pines loves general practice medicine and has a particular interest in dentistry and managing chronic diseases. She has a wonderful bedside manner, loves to educate so you know what's happening to your pet, and will work with you to take good care of your pets.

Her first day at Arden is Monday, April 1st. No joke.

What a perfect afternoon spent wishing Dr. Frances Tobey all of the best as she sets off on her next career adventure at UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine!! We will all miss her tremendously but don’t be surprised if she pops into Arden every once and a while to work a Saturday and to check up on us❤️🐈‍⬛🐾🐕‍🦺

Happy Valentines Day everyone. Hope you get some extra kisses from your fur babies. Did you know when a dog or cat makes direct eye contact with you, thats their way of saying “I love you.”

Vivi is looking right at you and saying she loves you too.

Thank you all so much for entrusting us with helping you over the years with your boarding needs. We have genuinely loved taking care of your pets in this capacity! This year we have made the difficult decision to end our boarding services. There has been an increase in pet ownership, which means an increase in medical needs. We will be repurposing the areas of boarding for an additional exam room and a dental suite, along with other changes that will help our veterinarians and team support and care for your pets more efficiently.

We will no longer be doing daycare or overnight boarding effective March 1, 2024. Thank you again for letting us take care of your pets in this capacity.

We have some bittersweet news to share. Our beloved Dr. Fran Tobey has accepted a teaching position at the UD Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. She starts her new position in March. She absolutely loves to teach and we know she will do a phenomenal job shaping the hearts and minds of future veterinary students for years to come.

Dr. Tobey has been an integral part of Arden Animal Hospital since she started working for us over ten years ago. Our clients and staff love her. She has touched and helped so many families and we are truly grateful for her service and care. We will miss her dearly as we know you will too. She has promised to work a few Saturdays in the months to come, so some of you may be lucky to still see her when that happens.

Please join us in saying a very heartfelt "Thank You" to Dr. Tobey. We'd love to hear of any special moments you or your pet had with her. She is a remarkable veterinarian. This is not goodbye. It's see you soon.

Happy Thursday everyone. This little kitty isn’t impressed by the doggy wall clock. Typical.

We have our Christmas tree up and “Poki” approves. Happy holidays

From our families to your families, happy Thanksgiving. Rusty is ready for his walk after you eat. ❤️

Stella is relaxing and enjoying some sunshine while she boards with us this week. She’s pretty easy going and all around wonderful.
