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
Modern Animal's NoPa clinic provides 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 at our NoPa clinic location. 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 NoPa clinic or have items delivered to your door with optional autoship for ongoing needs.’
Vaccines
Our animal hospital in NoPa provides 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
Modern Animal NoPa offers 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.

Reviews
Love taking our senior dog to Modern Animal for her health and wellness checkups. Every visit is stress free with kind and loving care for our dog. The Modern Animal team always goes above and beyond to make sure I’m equally cared for, especially as a new parent, as well. ❤️

Dr. Chris Frankenberger and the care team were so kind to me and my dog Marley. I could tell that they truly cared about Marley’s health and comfort. And they met some of my concerns without any judgment, and instead validated me and gave me a thoughtful solution instead! Definitely one of my best visits here :)

Modern Animal was hands down the best vet experience I've had. I'm so glad we made the switch. From a staff perspective, the nurses and doctors were prompt, incredibly efficient and helpful, and gave us options to return for a blood pull when my cat was having some issues. From a facilities perspective, the parking was so easy, the building is beautiful, and they even offer coffee upon arrival. This was the best decision we made!!

Had a fantastic experience at Modern Animal. Place was super- clean, the front desk person greeted me right away and offered me a soda water, so nice. There was no wait; they took me and my skittish kitty directly into an exam room. Doctor Frankenburger is exactly the type of vet I always hoped I would get, (and never really had until now), He is approachable, listened well and gave sound advice. Shout out to Amy and the vet techs who kept my sweet boy calm during a bladder ultrasound! . It was so much more comfortable than other vets we've gone to. We will def come back!

Dr Jeon is the best veterinarian we've had in almost a decade. Within minutes (!!!) of meeting us he suggested that some of the medication that my dog was taking (mind you, for YEARS at that point), was unnecessary, and due to a misdiagnosis. We'd seen - oh, idk, 5? - local-ish vets during those years, and not one batted an eye. We stopped the medication and the doc was right - it had been unnecessary. Needless to say, that day had been my aha! moment that we'd found the vet we'd stick with for as long we possibly could.

The vet (Dr. Kuo) and the nurses were so patient with our anxious dog and were able to answer all our questions. They recommended additional meds and vaccinations that we hadn't known about and were able to work with our fearful dog to get the bloodwork they needed. Highly recommend!

Plans and Pricing
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
Routine veterinary care gives us a chance to listen to the heart and lungs, examine joints and mobility, and check for lumps or bumps that may need monitoring. We also review appetite, energy levels, and behavior since small shifts can point to underlying issues. Regular visits make it easier to spot patterns over time.
The team at our NoPa clinic guides new pet parents through first-year care, nutrition, and what to expect at each stage. Essential and All Access members also have 24/7 access to Virtual Care for questions about things like socialization, teething and chewing, minor vomiting or diarrhea, coughing or sneezing, and when something can wait until morning.
We are not an emergency hospital, but the team at our NoPa clinic provides full-service primary and urgent care during regular daytime hours. Should an urgent situation arise, Essential and All Access members can connect with 24/7 Virtual Care through the app for immediate advice and next-step recommendations.
The team at our NoPa clinic cares for cats and dogs and offers preventive, primary, and urgent care with no breed or size restrictions. We do not provide veterinary services for exotic pets like rabbits, reptiles, or birds.
The most convenient way to book a visit at our NoPa 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.
Our NoPa clinic does not offer its own pet insurance plans, but we think having insurance is helpful because it can reduce surprise expenses over the course of your pet’s life. Pet insurance is claims based, which means you’ll pay at your visit and then submit a claim for reimbursement. We work with providers such as Healthy Paws, Trupanion, and Spot, and we can provide what you need to file claims smoothly.
