Services
At Sunset Cliffs Animal Hospital, we understand that every pet is unique, with its own set of needs and requirements. That's why we offer a wide range of services to cater to your pet's specific needs. Whether it's a routine check-up, a vaccination booster, or ongoing treatment for a medical condition, we've got you covered.
Wellness
We believe that prevention is the key to a healthy and happy pet. That's why we recommend annual wellness examinations for our furry patients. These visits may even occur more frequently if your pet has a health concern or needs additional booster vaccines.
Vaccinations
Keeping your pet up-to-date on various vaccinations is an important part of preventative veterinary care. Many of these diseases pose serious health risks to your pet should he/she be exposed. Luckily, we can provide vaccines to you and keep your pet as comfortable as possible while they are administered.
