Pet-Focused Care That’s Stress-Free for You
When you bring your beloved dog or cat to VPC, we’ll treat them like they were our own, giving them affordable care that protects them from lethal diseases and other health problems.
In addition to spaying and neutering, we provide vaccinations for rabies. We also vaccinate dogs for distemper, hepatitis, canine influenza, parainfluenza, parvovirus, bordetella (kennel cough), and leptospirosis. Cats can be vaccinated to prevent feline leukemia and the FVRCP vaccination immunizes them against three nasty diseases for up to 3 years. Additionally, we can test your cat for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV).
Care That Protects
Firstly, vaccinations are not only part of being a good pet owner, they cost very little and protect against lethal diseases that are costly to treat. Secondly, spaying and neutering also have health benefits for your pet, including lowering their risk of cancer.
Care That's Affordable
The services we provide are important to your pet, to you, and to our community. Therefore, we want to make them as affordable as possible.
Care That's Convenient
We have vaccination walk-in hours from noon to 5pm daily and surgical hours each morning. Our goal is to make it as simple as possible for you and your pet. In addition, if you need to register your dog after vaccinations, the county Animal Services Agency is right next door!
Care That's Clear Up Front
All of our fees are posted below, and there are no hidden costs. More importantly, you’ll know exactly what’s involved with any procedure and what the outcomes for your pet will be.

We love caring for animals and serving people who care about them as much as we do! As a result, our mission is a simple one. Our goal is to make sure every pet in the Central Valley is healthy and cut down on the number of animals that are strays or end up in shelters. That’s why we focus on immunizing pets against lethal diseases, spays, and neuters.
Dr. Kavishti Kokaram, Dr. Michael Betts, Dr. Lynette Lotz, and our staff are glad to help your pet live a healthier, happier life.
