2203 Francisco Dr Ste 170, El Dorado Hills, CA 95762

Trips to the vet don't have to leave your pet terrified. Animal ONE in El Dorado Hills leans into play, treats, and affection to keep visits calm. Their exam rooms even feature fold-down tables so anxious or larger dogs can stay comfortable right on the floor. If surgery or observation is needed, pets recover in Casco WELLKennels that feature built-in heating, cooling, and noise reduction. It's ideal for nervous dogs and cats.
