Leighton M.

We've had such a wonderful experience with this vet clinic. The entire staff is incredibly kind and patient, which makes a huge difference, especially when your pet is nervous. But I especially want to thank Dr. Yi--he's been such a calming and compassionate presence for my 14-year-old dog, who's always been terrified of vet visits.

If you're considering coming here--just do it! Dr. Julia Popish was incredibly kind, helpful, and informative about our dog's allergies. She was attentive throughout the entire visit. Nurse Melody went above and beyond to ensure our Darla was comfortable and well cared for every step of the way.

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?

Regular exams are important because they give us time to check mobility, oral health, and heart and lung function and to track how these areas change over time. We also look for new lumps, assess coat quality, and review any changes in behavior or appetite. Small findings during routine visits often prevent larger problems.

What support does Modern Animal offer to new pet parents?

The team at our La Brea clinic provides guidance on first-year vaccines, feeding, and routine care for new puppies and kittens. Essential and All Access members can connect with Virtual Care anytime for support with things like training basics, minor stomach upset, sneezing or coughing, ear scratching, and next-step decisions.

Does the Modern Animal La Brea clinic have 24/7 emergency care?

We are not an emergency hospital, but the team at our La Brea clinic provides full-service primary and urgent care during regular daytime hours. If you are unsure whether your pet needs emergency care, Essential and All Access members can reach 24/7 Virtual Care through the app for support and next-step recommendations.

What type of animals does the Modern Animal La Brea clinic treat?

Our La Brea clinic provides wellness, primary, and urgent care for cats and dogs of any breed or size. We do not treat exotic animals, including rabbits, reptiles, or birds.

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

The most convenient way to book a visit at our La Brea clinic is online or in the Modern Animal app. If you prefer to speak with someone, you can call 866-505-8755 between 6am and 6pm PST.

Does Modern Animal La Brea accept or offer pet insurance?

Our La Brea clinic does not offer its own pet insurance plans, but we think having insurance is important because it can help manage both routine and unexpected costs. Pet insurance is reimbursement based, so you’ll pay at the time of service and then request repayment. We work with providers such as Spot, Healthy Paws, and Nationwide, and we can provide everything needed to file claims.
