SAN JOSE VETERINARIAN

Veterinarian Care with Heart

33 Years of Veterinarian experience in caring for your pets.   At our San Jose and Sunnyvale Veterinarian Hospitals we believe your pet is an important part of your family, and is treated as such. At our animal clinic we feel strongly that animals can and do make life better for us, and that we have an obligation to make their lives as good as we can.

We believe in a personal, caring, friendly pet hospital. It is like a family here, and we like to get to know each other.

We believe in giving you options on treatments and informing and educating you so that you can make intelligent decisions on these options.  Our veterinarians, Dr. Penelope Bowden, Dr. Maryssa Chiarello, and Dr. Kevin Nagel are here to serve you at Lincoln Avenue Vet Clinic in San Jose. Dr. Paul Umeda, Dr. Michelle Gonsolin, and Dr. Megan Nakagawa are waiting to serve your pets needs at Arroyo Animal Clinic in Sunnyvale.

Both Locations, San Jose and Sunnyvale offer Full-Service Veterinarian Care for your Pets.

Services may differ at each location, call for more information.

This means that we can offer just about any service, either ourselves or through referral. We see dogs, cats, rabbits, rats, mice, guinea pigs and other small, furry animals. Our services include physical examinations, consultations, vaccinations, surgery, dentistry, dermatology (including allergy testing and desensitization injections), boarding and grooming. more

Both Lincoln Ave Veterinary Clinic and Arroyo Animal Clinic now have digital radiology. This high tech tool means that your pets will be able to benefit from all the advantages digital radiology has to offer. These benefits include the ability to manipulate the image in ways that can make diagnosis of your pet’s problem(s) easier. We can alter the brightness, contrast, reverse phase the image (show a “negative” image), zoom in or out, which can allow us to find things we would not have otherwise. This also means we don’t have many “repeat” exposures, if the settings on the x-ray machine weren’t quite right, or the film processor has a problem. We can compensate for these things now using the technology. We can more easily have your pet’s x-rays reviewed by a board certified radiologist if we have any questions about what might be going on with your pet. You can get a copy of the image on CD so that you can look at it at home, show your family, or bring the images to a specialist, if that is needed.

Overall, we are very excited and pleased to be able to have this available for your valued, loved, furry family members, and hope you will as well.



LATEST NEWS

Heartworm disease is a life-threatening condition in dogs. The disease is caused by parasitic worms that
grow up to 16 inches long and live in the blood vessels between the heart and lungs of dogs. The worms
are transmitted by mosquitoes and dogs in our area are at risk all year round. Infected dogs can get
changes in the heart that cause heart failure (even years after the disease is treated), inflammatory lung
disease, and can serve as a reservoir for mosquitoes to spread infection more. Untreated disease will
cause death. READ MORE
