Our team of veterinarians, registered veterinary technicians, and support staff brings hands-on experience and genuine devotion to every appointment, keeping each visit thorough, unhurried, and tailored to your pet’s unique needs. We see pets at every life stage, providing puppy and kitten wellness exams, senior care, routine dental cleanings, parasite prevention, and advanced orthopedic surgery.

Our Mission
Our team believes that the most meaningful veterinary care happens well before a pet shows signs of illness. That’s why our approach focuses on building a complete picture of your pet’s health from the start, through regular wellness exams, targeted diagnostics, and open, honest conversations with you at every visit. We use state-of-the-art equipment, including in-house laboratory tools and digital radiography, to catch changes early and act on them quickly. Our San Dimas vet team is prepared to handle routine treatment plans, Flea, Tick & Heartworm Protection, spay and neuter procedures, and more advanced care with skill and attention to detail. As a small, privately owned practice, we stay personally invested in every patient, get to know your pet’s baseline, track their progress over time, and make sure you always leave with a clear understanding of where their health stands.
Proactive Healthcare for Pets
Our Services
What We Do
Dental Care
Dental Care isn’t just for people. Without regular cleanings and examinations, plaque and calculus will build up and lead to many health complications. Here at Pet Depot Veterinary Group, we provide comprehensive pet dental care and are here to keep your pet’s oral health in good condition.
Full Service Animal Hospital in La Verne, CA
Our pet hospital offers the following services for dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, medical conditions and lifestyles:
Dental Care
Pets need regular dental care just as much as people do, yet it is one of the most overlooked parts of their health routine. Tartar and plaque accumulation can silently cause health complications that affect more than just your pet’s teeth. Staying ahead of dental issues is one of the best things you can do for your pet’s long-term health.
At Pet Depot Veterinary Group, our San Dimas vet performs dental cleanings and extractions with precision and care. We take the time to evaluate your pet’s oral health and address any concerns before they become bigger problems. Our goal is to keep your pet’s smile clean and their body healthy.
Vaccine Clinic
Not all vaccines are created equal, and knowing which ones your pet truly needs makes all the difference. Core vaccines for dogs cover rabies, distemper, parvovirus, adenovirus, and leptospirosis, while cats need protection against rabies, panleukopenia, calicivirus, and herpesvirus. Our vaccine clinic helps make sure your pet is covered for the diseases that matter most.
Vaccines are rigorously safety-tested, and serious side effects are rare. Our San Dimas vet team is happy to address any questions or concerns you have about your pet’s vaccinations, including what to watch for after the appointment. Pet Depot Veterinary Group is here to make the process straightforward and reassuring for every pet owner.
Urgent Care
Pets cannot tell us what is wrong, so it’s important to recognize signs that need immediate attention. Symptoms like sudden lethargy, difficulty urinating, bloat, foreign object ingestion, or high fever are all reasons to seek same-day urgent care. Prompt evaluation can make a meaningful difference in your pet’s outcome.
At Pet Depot Veterinary Group, our San Dimas vet team is ready to provide triage, run diagnostics, and start treatment the same day you call. We recommend calling ahead and bringing your pet’s medical history so we can get started right away. Your pet’s comfort and recovery are our top priority every step of the way.
Injury
Not every injury is visible on the surface, which is why a thorough evaluation matters after any trauma. Suspected fractures, internal soft tissue damage, and deep lacerations all require professional care to heal properly. Our team is trained to identify and treat injuries that may not be immediately obvious.
Our vet at Pet Depot Veterinary Group will conduct a full assessment and recommend the right course of treatment, including laceration repair, soft tissue surgery, or emergency care as needed. We approach every injury case with urgency and attention to detail. Your pet deserves skilled, compassionate care right when they need it.
TPLO
Orthopedic injuries like a torn cruciate ligament can significantly limit your dog’s mobility and quality of life. TPLO surgery addresses the root cause of knee instability by modifying the tibial plateau, allowing the joint to function without relying on the damaged ligament. It is one of the most effective long-term solutions available for this type of injury.
Our vet team at Pet Depot Veterinary Group performs TPLO surgery in a sterile, fully equipped surgical suite. We handle every phase of the process, from the initial evaluation to recovery, with dedication and care. Restoring your dog’s comfort and mobility is what drives everything we do.
Spay and Neuter
Every dog and cat deserves a surgical experience that prioritizes their safety and comfort above all else. Routine procedures still deserve focused, individualized care, and that is exactly what our team delivers. A safe, painless experience is the standard we hold ourselves to for every patient who comes through our doors.
Our vet at Pet Depot Veterinary Group follows a detailed pre-surgical and post-op protocol to keep your pet protected throughout the entire process. Each surgery is performed in a fully sterile surgical suite built to support the highest standard of care. We want every pet owner to feel confident and at ease on the day of their pet’s surgery.
Why Choose Us
At our practice, good veterinary care goes beyond treating illness. It’s about building a relationship with your pet and supporting you as their caregiver through every stage of life. Here’s a closer look at what that means in practice.
When Your Pet Needs Surgery, the Right Team Is Already Here
Having a board-trained surgeon on staff changes what’s possible at our animal hospital. We handle procedures like TPLO, soft tissue repair, and laceration repair, along with the full surgical team those cases require. Before any procedure, our team reviews diagnostics, evaluates anesthetic risk, and sets a post-operative pain management plan specific to your pet. Scheduled follow-up after surgery is standard, not optional. Pet owners in La Verne and San Dimas have access to that level of surgical veterinary expertise without leaving the community they’re already in.
Urgent Concerns Promptly Addressed With Full Diagnostic Support
Some situations need answers today, not next Tuesday. Our San Dimas vet clinic offers same-day urgent care appointments for those moments, and the diagnostic tools available during urgent visits are the same ones used every day: in-house lab testing, digital radiography, X-ray and ultrasound, and abdominal imaging. State-of-the-art equipment means our team can evaluate what’s actually happening with your pet, confirm findings, and move forward with a plan, all during the same appointment. Pet owners leave with information, not instructions to monitor and wait.
Privately Owned, Personally Invested
Small and privately owned means our team sets its own pace, and that pace is shaped around your pet, not a production schedule. Each visit includes time to review history, address what you’ve noticed at home, and work through any questions without feeling rushed. For animals managing chronic conditions, recovering from illness, or prone to exam-day stress, that unhurried approach makes a great difference in how useful the appointment is. Pet owners across La Verne, San Dimas, and Claremont consistently find the veterinary experience here more personal and thorough than they expected.
Health Data That Makes Preventative Care Actually Work
Standard preventative care recommendations are a starting point. What our team offers goes further. In-house bloodwork and diagnostics establish your pet’s individual baseline from early on, giving us a specific reference point for every future exam. Parasite prevention, Flea, Tick & Heartworm Protection, wellness exams, dental cleanings, and vaccinations are all recommended based on where your pet actually stands, not where a generic chart says they should be. Early detection becomes meaningfully more reliable once your veterinarian knows precisely what normal looks like for that specific animal.
Communication That Doesn’t Stop at Checkout
Our San Dimas veterinarian team doesn’t consider an appointment finished once you leave the parking lot. Veterinary telemedicine extends access to professional guidance for post-procedure check-ins, follow-up concerns, or questions that surface at home between scheduled visits. Lab results and diagnostic findings are explained clearly, not dropped in a portal without context. If something new comes up and you’re unsure whether it warrants a veterinary visit, our support staff responds promptly and accurately so you can decide without unnecessary guesswork or delay.
Our Clients Say…
Meet the Team
Behind every appointment at our animal hospital is a group of people who take their work personally. Our veterinarians bring focused expertise in areas like internal medicine, pain management, and palliative care. Registered veterinary technicians assist hands-on through exams, lab collection, surgical support, and post-procedure monitoring. Support staff round out the experience, keeping communication clear and visits running smoothly from check-in to checkout. Consistency ties the whole team together. These are the same faces you’ll see visit after visit, building familiarity with your pet and a working relationship with you. Pet owners in San Dimas, La Verne, and the surrounding communities find that kind of continuity genuinely helpful, especially when managing ongoing treatment plans or tracking subtle health changes over time. We’re a small, independently run practice, and that size is intentional. It allows us to stay attentive, stay connected, and give every patient the focused care they need.

FAQs
What makes a veterinary practice "full-service"?
A full-service animal hospital like ours handles everything from routine wellness exams and vaccinations to advanced diagnostics, surgery, dental cleanings, and laser therapy, all in one place. Your pet can receive a wide range of care from our team who already knows them, without being referred out for each concern. It’s more convenient for you and less stressful for your pet.
How do spay and neuter procedures benefit my pet's long-term health?
Spay and neuter procedures do more than prevent unwanted litters. They can significantly reduce the risk of certain cancers, infections, and hormone-driven behavioral issues. Most pets recover quickly and go on to live longer, healthier lives. Our team will walk you through what to expect before, during, and after the procedure so you feel fully prepared.
Why is dental health so important to my pet's overall well-being?
Poor dental health doesn’t just affect your pet’s mouth. Over time, it can also affect their heart, kidneys, and liver. Bacteria from untreated plaque and tartar can enter the bloodstream and cause serious systemic issues that are far more difficult and costly to treat than a routine dental cleaning. Staying on top of your pet’s oral health is one of the most impactful things you can do to protect their long-term quality of life.
How does our team develop a treatment plan for my pet?
Every treatment plan we create starts with a thorough exam and a conversation with you about your pet’s history, lifestyle, and any concerns you’ve noticed at home. We combine that information with diagnostic findings, including lab work, X-rays, and ultrasound, to get the full picture before recommending next steps. Our goal is always to give you clear, honest options so you can make informed decisions about your pet’s care.
What are the benefits of having one consistent vet for my pet's entire life?
Seeing the same team year after year allows our vet to build a detailed picture of what’s normal for that specific animal, making it much easier to spot subtle changes that might signal an emerging health issue. That continuity also means less repeated paperwork, fewer redundant tests, and our care team genuinely knows your pet’s personality and history. Over time, a consistent veterinary relationship becomes one of the most valuable investments you can make in your pet’s health.
