Pacific Pet Hospital

Locally owned and operated by Jennifer and Dr. Ken Upton, Pacific Pet Hospital pairs a state-of-the-art facility with a stated pride in getting to know each patient individually — clients and pets alike are described as part of PPH rather than accounts on a schedule. Care covers wellness visits, diagnostics, surgery, dental services, pet travel exams, and telehealth, with the facility equipped to handle everything from preventative medicine through emergency situations. The nurse appointment program is a genuinely useful innovation: head nurses examine and treat common ear and skin problems under veterinarian supervision — the itching, scratching, discharge, and head-shaking that account for so many visits — at lower cost and with faster availability than a full doctor's appointment, with pricing published openly by category. Cytopoint injections are handled the same way. More complex cases go to the doctors, and the practice states that limitation plainly rather than blurring it. Puppy and kitten guides, a rewards program, and the PetDesk app round out the client side, and new clients receive a free welcome exam. From new puppies to graying seniors, the promise is a partnership over a lifetime.
