We’re here for every stage of your pet’s life.

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.

Reviews
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.

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.

Chris is the best vet tech. My anxious pup, Ziggy, and I loved our visit and exam with Dr. Ginsburg.

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!

Common Questions
Regular vet visits are important because they help prevent dental disease, support healthy weight, and monitor skin and ear health throughout the year. We may recommend blood or urine testing for age-related changes that are easier to treat when found early. Prevention keeps everyday life more comfortable.
