About
Yosemite Pet Hospital went through an extensive remodel prior to opening in August 2004. We have updated the Hospital to provide additional examination rooms, a larger client lobby, and expanded treatment facilities.
The new Hospital layout also includes a special procedure area, for use by referral specialists. In addition, we have separate Dog and Cat kennel facilities to accommodate early morning drop offs, allowing clients to utilize our "Day Stay" appointments for examinations or surgeries, a convenience to help our clients with busy schedules.
Another addition to our Hospital is a client consultation suite. This provides a relaxed, comfortable setting for discussing serious medical conditions with the doctor.
As part of the improvements to our facilities, we have installed the latest in veterinary medical equipment, including a "State of the Art", high frequency X-Ray equipment, and dental X-Ray unit. We utilize a fully computerized patient record system, enabling us to easily send your pets' information to specialists for consultation and referral.

A message from Dr. Sheila:
When I decided to open Yosemite Pet Hospital, my vision was to create a veterinary facility where I could emphasize a lifestyle approach to the medical health of my patients. So many veterinary clinics focus on seeing as many patients as possible. 5-10 minute appoints are common, and the emphasis is just treat what the patient came in for, to get them in and get them out. I have always felt that this does not provide the levels of veterinary care that your pet deserve.
You may notice that we schedule longer office calls than you may have experienced with other veterinary hospitals. We feel it is important to allow time for taking a detailed history from the pet owner and discuss their thoughts and observations on their pets health status. We also carefully examining your pet every time they come in to see if there have been any changes to their health. I am always amazed at how many times a pet does in for a relatively minor issue, and we find other more serious conditions through our history, examination and diagnostic process. Catching serious medical conditions early provides the best chance at implementing an effective treatment plan, and often significantly reduces the costs involved with treatment.
Longer appointment times also allow us the opportunity to discuss the various treatment options available. It is important that you fully understand these options to help you make the right decisions for improving the healthy life of your companion.
We invite you to visit us and experience the high quality veterinary medical care that we can provide for your family of pets.
We look forward to meeting you!
Detailed Medical History: Pets cannot speak for themselves, which makes it challenging to understand things that may be bothering them, or medical conditions that they may be at risk for. This makes the "History" a key part of our treatment and diagnosis. You will be questioned on your pets current health status by our front office staff when you check in for an appointment. They will ask about the issue that you are coming in for, but will also obtain details about your pets lifestyle, if they are around other pets or animals, if your pet travels, and other seemingly non related questions. These help us get a feel for what your pet may be exposed to in their daily lives. You may notice that many of these questions are repeated by the technicians and/or Dr. when you are in the exam rooms. This is to help us investigate things that you may want to be aware of to help provide a healthy lifestyle for your pet.
Comprehensive Physical Examination: One of the most important elements of veterinary medicine is the physical examination. An annual examination is a key factor in helping to ensure that your pet enjoys a long and healthy life. Our examinations are designed to thoroughly review your pets' medical health condition. We also discuss your pet's behavioral characteristics, which may indicate or help to identify early stages of medical conditions. Based upon our examination, we will develop a treatment plan for your pet. We carefully discuss this with you to ensure that you fully understand the treatment options available.
Pet Wellness Programs: As your pet moves from Puppy or Kitten, to Adult and into their Senior years, requirements for veterinary care will change. We will work with you to develop a Pet Wellness program designed to help you pet lead a healthy lifestyle and enhance their quality of life.
Senior Pet Programs: Thanks to advances in veterinary medicine, pets are living longer than ever before. However, with this increased lifespan comes an increase in the types of ailments that can affect senior pets. The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) has released the AAHA Senior Care Guidelines for Dogs and Cats to help veterinary hospitals provide optinal care for these aging companion pets.

Vaccination Assessment Program: Vaccinating your pet is an important part of maintaining your pet's health. However, this is not as simple as getting a "Yearly Shot" for your pet. There are many considerations in developing an appropriate vaccination program for your canine or feline family member. Life style choices such as travel, housing indoors versus outdoors, exposure to other animals not only dogs and cats but livestock or wildlife can affect vaccination recommendations. Vaccines can have side effects so the old adage of more is better is not necessarily true, and can potentially be harmful. Because certain vaccines have been associated with tumor formation, it is recommended that they are administered in certain locations, so that they can be monitored closely. The old method of administering all the vaccines in the neck is no longer recommended.
