- Dental CareIf it’s determined that your pet requires a dental cleaning or more extensive dental work, such as an extraction, we’ll schedule your pet for an anesthesia-assisted appointment.
- VaccinationRoutine wellness and preventative care, such as regular checkups, vaccinations, and health screenings, are the best investments you can make in your pet’s future health and happiness. At Pacific Pet Hospital, we provide clients with a variety of wellness plans designed specifically for cats and dogs of all ages and breeds.

- Comprehensive ExaminationIt’s tough to watch your cat or dog suffer from chronic itchiness. Pets who can’t stop scratching, licking, or biting or who are experiencing hair loss, bald patches, or secondary infections from all the itching have a dermatological problem. With a physical examination and diagnostic tests, Dr. Humphrey & Dr. Upton at Pacific Pet Hospital can determine the cause of your pet’s discomfort and provide an effective treatment.
- Parasites Treatment and ControlAn internal medicine appointment begins with a discussion of the symptoms observed in your pet and a thorough physical examination. Based on this information, our Doctor determines the necessary diagnostic tests, which might include blood work, urinalysis, fecal testing, digital x-ray, and/or ultrasound.
- Behavioral Disorder TreatmentAlthough certain dog and cat vaccines are required by law (called core vaccines), others are elective and administered on a case-by-case basis (called non-core vaccines). Core vaccines for dogs protect them from rabies, canine distemper, parvovirus, and hepatitis. Core vaccines for cats prevent them from contracting rabies, feline distemper, feline calicivirus, and rhinotracheitis.
- Pain ManagementOur pets have neural pathways that are remarkably similar to ours, which means they experience pain in similar ways, too. Although they can’t tell us when they’re hurting, pets suffer from pain for many reasons including surgery, injuries, chronic and acute illnesses, birth defects, and degenerative diseases. At Pacific Pet Hospital, we provide relief to suffering Chula Vista Pets with personalized pain management plans developed for short or long-term care.
- Skin Condition and Allergy TreatmentPets can experience allergies to certain foods and to the environment. In pets, allergies most commonly cause skin and coat problems, rather than symptoms like asthma or sneezing.

- Intestinal Foreign Object Removal
- Leptospirosis TreatmentMany of the diseases against which vaccines guard are difficult or impossible to treat, painful for pets, and sometimes fatal. Vaccinating pets protects them from the dangers and discomfort of falling ill with serious diseases. Vaccinating your household pets also protects your human family members from contracting zoonotic diseases, like rabies and leptospirosis.
- Parvovirus Infection Treatment
- Bacterial and Viral Infection TreatmentThere are many reasons why pets might experience itchy skin including parasites, bacterial or fungal infections, hormonal imbalances, autoimmune disorders, and cancer, but the most common reason pets experience itchiness is atopic dermatitis caused by allergies.
- Diabetes Treatment
- Kidney Disease TreatmentWithout regular care and cleanings, plaque and tartar accumulate on the teeth. This buildup creates pockets between the gums and teeth where harmful bacteria thrive. As bacteria flourishes, periodontal disease (an infection of the gums) will develop. Left unaddressed, gum disease can lead to serious health problems such as liver, heart, and kidney disease, blood infections, and even death.

- Veterinary SurgeryVeterinarians use ultrasounds, sometimes in conjunction with other diagnostic tests, to diagnose a pet’s medical condition, illness, or injury. Without a definitive diagnosis, finding an effective treatment is basically guesswork. Before ultrasound technology existed, the only available method for diagnosing a pet’s problem was often invasive, painful exploratory surgery.

- Spaying and Neutering
- Laboratory ServicesWith Pacific Pet Hospital’s advanced diagnostic services, our patients receive quick diagnoses and immediate treatment when they need it most. If your pet has an upcoming x-ray appointment, we welcome you to contact us with any questions you might have.
- X-Ray
- Dental RadiologyDuring your pet’s dental exam, one of our veterinarians will evaluate gum health, plaque and tartar buildup, and will also visually examine the teeth for signs of damage or decay. We might also recommend taking a set of dental x-rays, which allows Dr. Humphrey or Dr. Upton to see whether any problems are occurring inside your pet’s teeth or below the gum line. Following the exam, we’ll provide you with a complete dental report.
