Services

From checkups to late night throw ups.

We can help with just about anything pet parenthood asks of you, including primary care, preventive care, dentistry, soft tissue surgery, and more.

Primary Care

We provide the full spectrum of day-to-day veterinary care your pet needs to stay healthy and well. This includes wellness exams, vaccines, nutrition support, parasite prevention, and treatment for common issues like allergies, ear infections, and chronic conditions. We’re here for every stage of your pet’s life.

Urgent Care

For health issues that should be addressed sooner than a routine visit allows, but are not emergencies, we offer same-day and next-day appointments. This includes things like minor injuries, sudden changes in appetite or behavior, or signs of illness.

24/7 Virtual Care

Chat with a licensed veterinary professional anytime, day or night. Our team can help with general questions, triage concerns, and guidance on whether your pet needs to be seen in person.

Pharmacy

We offer a full-service pharmacy for prescription medications, preventatives, and prescription diets recommended by your care team. You can pick up in the clinic or have items delivered to your door with optional autoship for ongoing needs.’

Vaccines

We provide core and lifestyle-based vaccines to protect your pet against preventable diseases. Your care team will tailor a vaccine plan based on your pet’s age, breed, environment, and health history.

Dental Care

We offer comprehensive dental services to keep your pet’s mouth healthy and pain-free. This includes cleanings under anesthesia, full-mouth radiographs, extractions when needed, and personalized care plans to address tartar, gum disease, and other oral health concerns.

Surgery

We offer a range of soft-tissue surgeries performed by licensed veterinarians in a fully equipped surgical suite. Every procedure includes general anesthesia, continuous monitoring, pain management, and personalized recovery plans to keep your pet safe and supported at every step.

Puppies & Kittens

We help you give your new pet the healthiest possible start. From first vaccines to nutrition and behavior guidance, our team supports you through every milestone in their first year.

Senior Pet Care

As pets age, their needs change. We offer tailored care to support comfort, mobility, and overall health in the later stages of life. From routine screenings to pain management and lifestyle adjustments, we’re here to help your pet age well.

I switched to modern animal in August after feeling like my cats weren't getting through care at my old vet. I'm so glad I did. I saw Dr.Royalty who was wonderful and really took the time to explain a care plan for my pet and answer any questions I had. The space is very clean and modern, and my pets were very comfortable throughout their exams. Also the app is amazing and I've been able to get on demand help via message for any issues that came up!

Dr. Royalty is super knowledgeable. Our kitty Ella has not been well, and the doctor gave us peace of mind letting us know this is a very common issue and gave us advice on changing her food, as well as requested all the necessary testing. Would highly recommend her because of her experience and her clear passion for caring for cats. The facilities are clean, the staff is very welcoming and friendly, and they respond quickly to any questions we have.

Plans and Pricing

A plan for every kind of pet parent.

Whether you have a dog that eats a lot of socks or a cat that just pops by once a year, we’ve got you covered.

Common Questions

Why are regular vet visits important?

Annual exams help us track dental health, healthy weight, and vaccine protection while screening for parasites that often have no obvious symptoms. We may recommend blood or urine testing based on age and lifestyle to catch changes in organ function sooner. Preventive care keeps your pet comfortable as they grow and age.

What resources does Modern Animal provide for new pet parents?

The team at our Berkeley clinic helps new puppy and kitten parents with vaccine schedules, feeding plans, and routine care throughout the first year. Essential and All Access members can reach Virtual Care anytime for support with things like ear scratching, mild skin irritation, upset stomachs, or medication guidance between visits.

Does the Modern Animal Berkeley Clinic have 24/7 emergency care?

We are not an emergency hospital, but the team at our Berkeley clinic offers primary and urgent care during regular daytime hours. If you are unsure whether something may be an emergency, Essential and All Access members can use 24/7 Virtual Care through the app for guidance and referral to an emergency facility if needed.

What type of animals does the Modern Animal Berkeley clinic treat?

Our Berkeley clinic treats cats and dogs of any breed and size, providing wellness, primary, and urgent care. We do not treat exotic animals, including rabbits, reptiles, or birds.

How can I book a visit at Modern Animal’s Berkeley clinic?

Booking a visit at our Berkeley clinic is easiest online or in the Modern Animal app. For assistance, you can call 866-505-8755 between 6am and 6pm PST.

Does Modern Animal Berkeley accept or offer pet insurance?

Our Berkeley clinic does not offer its own pet insurance plans, but we believe insurance can make veterinary care more manageable over time. Since pet insurance works through reimbursement, you’ll pay for services and then send your claim to your insurer. We work with companies like Nationwide, Pumpkin, and Trupanion, and we’ll provide the paperwork required for claim submissions.
