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.

This was the most pleasant vet visit I’ve ever been to. Everything was so well explained by the Dr and the nurse, I was able to discuss my estimate and didn’t feel overcharged. They were so caring with my new rescue dog, and knew how to handle her anxiety (while other regular vet didn’t). The whole app system is so user friendly. I won’t go anywhere else! Thank you Dr Bonnell.

We love modern animal!! It seriously changed our entire experience with vets.

My pup was terrified of vets prior to us moving to modern animal. Hannah was the absolute best, so patient and attentive and really made an effort to make her feel so comfortable. We have a new member of our pack, a little kitten who was a stray- she has been cared for so wonderfully by Dr Shim and Nellie. And Angel always makes sure us pet parents are taken care of as well!! We love modern animal! Thank you so much for taking care of us!!

I cannot say enough good things about all of our experiences at Modern Animal! Every single person in each office has been friendly, and knowledgeable. The app is easy to use, and when we needed to, our online chat with a veterinary professional was thorough and efficient. You are a part of your pet's care team, and you're never told what you must or must not do.

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?

Routine exams give us time to look at the eyes, ears, and skin for allergies or infection and to check the mouth for tartar or inflammation. We also assess muscle tone and mobility and talk through any changes in appetite or sleep. Seeing your pet regularly keeps their care consistent instead of reactive.

What support does Modern Animal offer to new pet parents?

The team at our Playa Vista clinic helps new puppy and kitten parents with first-year planning, feeding schedules, and behavior basics. Essential and All Access members have around-the-clock Virtual Care for support with things like parasite questions, soft stools, coughing or sneezing, or whether something needs attention right away.

Does the Modern Animal Playa Vista clinic have 24/7 emergency care?

We are not an emergency hospital, but the team at our Playa Vista clinic provides full-service primary and urgent care during regular daytime hours. If an urgent situation comes up, Essential and All Access members can use 24/7 Virtual Care through the app for real-time support and referral to an emergency clinic if needed.

What type of animals does the Modern Animal Playa Vista clinic treat?

At our Playa Vista clinic, we care for cats and dogs and provide preventive, primary, and same-day urgent care. We do not treat exotic animals such as rabbits, reptiles, or birds.

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

You can easily book a visit at our Playa Vista clinic 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 Playa Vista accept or offer pet insurance?

Our Playa Vista clinic does not offer its own pet insurance plans, but we think having insurance is important because it can reduce financial stress when unexpected care is needed. Pet insurance operates on reimbursement, so you’ll pay at the clinic and then send your claim to your provider. We work with providers such as Nationwide, Spot, and Trupanion, and we can provide the paperwork needed to submit claims.
