It’s the pets we show up for.
It’s the people who bring us together.
Our biggest strength is our community. It all revolves around clients like you, caring for your pets.
And our team- the true heart of Shelter Bay.
Because of their partnership, countless cats have healed, been sterilized, been vaccinated, and ultimately made it home. We are deeply grateful to have them as part of our village.
WE ARE

We’re here for us, too, because this work is sincerely rewarding, and you’re a part of that. We can’t even help it. We love every patient who walks in the door. Who doesn’t love butt scratches?
Okay. Cats. Cats do not love butt scratches. Instead, we utilize calming pheromones and fear-free tactics to overcome their wiles.
Just as we tailor our recommendations for each patient’s needs, we know that behind each patient is a family, so we customize a plan that works for the humans involved, too. We know it takes a lot to care for a sick pet - and that includes finances. We accept Carecredit. We help with pet insurance.
We work hard to keep our prices middle-of-the-road while still providing top-notch care. It’s kind of magic.
Here for you

Nerds
Let us teach you about your pet. You can teach us about your pet. This is a two-way street, and we’re in it together. Did you know dogs have 42 teeth? That’s ten more than humans. We’re outnumbered by canines’ canines!
We’re not just nerds about bad puns - we’re nerds about medicine. Technology. Collaboration. Innovation. Dentistry. Cardiology. Anesthesiology.
Did you know cats use their whiskers like radar? I find that to be quite bizarre!

Committed
This is our life’s work. We’re going to answer every question you have. We’re going to look at every tooth! (if your pet will oblige)
We follow up after procedures, new medications, and treatments.
We save spots for same-day appointments, even for new patients.
We have a team of hybrid LVTs who don’t clock out on your pet - text us after hours and see what happens.

Meticulously Gentle
We are experts at handling fearful pets and reducing their anxiety. With the help of various Fear Free methods, together we’ll find a way to get your cat or dog settled in the exam room. Every pet is different- maybe they do better away from you, maybe they do better with you holding their paw, so to speak.
We have a big exam room that is especially suited for big dogs or multiple dogs, and we have a quiet exam room that is especially suited for our what-did-I-do-to-deserve-this feline friends. We offer Happy Visits - one of the most underrated ways to see a real improvement in your pet’s comfort at the vet. Bring in your friend, no pokes, just pets, then you’re on your way! It’s a win-win, it’s free for you and we get to see your pet!

Clean and Welcoming
You know that smell when you walk into the vet?
We don’t.
We’re always cleaning! Don’t take our word for it- let us know if you’d like to visit the hospital for a full tour of the facilities. Meet Maggie, our absolutely super official mascot. (She has her own apartment!)
Check out how upcycled the old Ruby Tuesdays’ dining tables to build our exam tables.
It’s the little things!
