Veterinary Care
Our comprehensive veterinary care includes routine checkups, vaccinations, and disease prevention tailored to each pet's life stage. Our experienced team diagnoses and treats medical conditions using modern diagnostic tools while prioritizing patient comfort. We develop customized wellness plans that address breed-specific needs and chronic condition management.
Pet Dentistry
We offer complete dental services including cleanings, extractions, and oral surgery. Our dental care prevents periodontal disease through professional scaling and polishing while addressing tooth fractures or infections. Digital dental X-rays help identify hidden issues beneath the gumline for thorough treatment.

Our laser surgery services provide minimally invasive treatment options for soft tissue procedures. This technology reduces pain and bleeding during operations while accelerating post-operative recovery. We perform spays, neuters, and tumor removals using precision laser techniques.

My dog Lillie tore her clothes. Dr. Duncan was absolutely amazing. He made sure we understood what the surgery would entail. They were very up front about cost and gave me a min and max of what the surgery could be. We are now 5 months out from her surgery and Lillie is happy and not in any pain. Which I am so thankful for. I cannot say enough about how wonderful they were

Dr Booth and his team exceeded my ecpectations. He is Professional, pleasant, concise, and gentle. His time examining our Golden was not rushed, or in anyway unpleasant. Lexie, our dog was treated with gentleness & respect. I Highly Recommend this Veterinarian clinic. durring a very recent illness, Lex was given incredible guidance and love. Lexie passed away after an 8 week illness. She gave us 11 1/2 years of LOVE. We will adopt another precious golden by Jan 2021 & Dr Booth will be her GP. Our newest Golden is " Marta" she is thriving and healthy.!

I've been taking my cats and dogs to OAH since 1998. I had another great experience with Dr. Gillespie, the technician and clerks. Thank you for the great care over the decades.

Took our doberman to see Dr Duncan on a referral. After a close exam the decision was no surgery which was a relief, but the following day he called and left a message about receiving the xray films from our usual vet at 830 in the evening. The is incredible customer service/patient care. We are Thankful for a vet this caring.

We just said goodbye to our pup after having her for 12 years. Oakland Animal hospital took great care of Bailey during that time. When it was time to say goodbye they were very caring and empathetic. They obviously care about the owners as well as the pets!
