For more than 25 years Dr. Rock Irvine and Dr. Mary Whitehill have been providing top-quality medical care for the pets of their Napa neighbors. All doctors at Napa Small Animal Hospital (NSAH) are graduates of the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, hailed by the 2015 U.S. News & World Report as being ranked #1 among North America’s 30 veterinary schools, and is the largest of it’s kind in the country. “Our philosophy as a hospital is truly to treat all animals with the dignity, respect, and care they deserve, and to treat those who love them the same way,” said Suvi Irvine, Hospital Administrator for NSAH. “Our staff is deeply committed in this regard, and I feel so lucky to work with such lovely people; they bend over backwards for our patients and clients.” Things have been going so well for NSAH that the City of Napa has given its owners the green light to remodel and expand their building! “It’s going to be a bit chaotic, but we are going to stay open,” said Suvi. “We can’t wait to have people see the new building. It’s been a labor of love getting the process approved, but it’s happening!” So if you see some construction going on, don’t let it deter you, they’ll still be open for you 7 days a week.

In April of 2016, Dr.’s Harvinder and Harpaul Sandhu took over the Animal Clinic of Benicia. In October, Dr. Adam Brown joined the team. Today, they’re stronger than ever. “They’ve worked hard to build and maintain an amazing practice that proudly provides its community with loving, friendly, and professional service,” said Practice Manager Ashley Scism. Having received this honor from our readers now for the fourth year in a row, the Animal Clinic of Benicia has definitely been able to retain the quality care that we’re used to. They offer routine services such as spaying/neutering, dental prophylaxis (cleaning), growth removals and more. Dr. Harpaul specializes in orthopedic surgeries, so they’re now also able to offer TPLO surgeries for dogs—a procedure that stabilizes the stifle joint after ruptures of the cranial cruciate ligament, analogous to the ACL in humans. They can also perform ultrasounds and take x-rays. “We at the clinic understand that pets can be a huge part of the family,” said Ashley. “On behalf of Dr. Harvinder Sandhu, Dr. Harpaul Sandhu, Dr. Adam Brown, Ashley, Chelsea, Dani, Diana, Nicole, Kristin, Sam, Zoe, Jenn, Cam, and Meri—thank you for putting your trust in us and for your continued support.”
