Dr. TaMarra Woodling

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.

Best vets ever. We've had several visits this year, including surgery, and I every time was great. All the doctors, but especially Dr Pickering at Culver City are wonderful. It's so high tech that during the surgery we were getting text updates! I love this place.

Russell G.

Was having problems with my old vet, who wasn't returning calls or emails. Saw the the good reviews on Yelp and decided to switch. It couldn't have been easier to make an appointment. Their app is wonderful and I got an appointment with 18 hours. The doctor was kind, cheerful and answered all of our questions. We received the test results within 24 hours on the app on a Sunday morning at 4 am, which allowed us to stop quarantining the cat right away. The prices and services were excellent. So far I'm very impressed.

The staff here are always so courteous and helpful! The rooms are clean. My puppy saw Dr. Cruz and Dr. Gober on different occasions and I was very impressed. They are patient, knowledgeable, and had the best bedside manner. They explained things well and were very open to all the questions I had. They made me and my puppy feel very comfortable. I learned so much from Dr. Cruz in just a short amount of time—I appreciate the time he took to explain things to us and he was very attentive to our concerns. Going to the vet can be nerve-wrecking, but Dr. Gober created a welcoming space and made us feel reassured with her enthusiastic manner. I recommend seeing either one of these vets!

I had the BEST experience at Modern Animal. The entire staff was so kind and truly cared for my dog. Dr. Chowdry was super knowledgeable, didn’t rush, and explained everything in detail. The clinic was transparent about pricing and didn’t push any unnecessary treatments or tests. They truly made a typically nerve-racking experience into something enjoyable! My pup can’t wait to go back and get more yummy treats!
