I had come to Hometown when it was still Silver Lake animal hospital. My dog had been a patient of silver lake for 7 years when it changed hands over to Dr Abby (I hope I’m spelling her name correctly.)I am blown away at the new staff’s empathy and level of care, and from what I hear, their current renovations are driving at caretaking pets and their owners to an even higher degree. Change is scary, but the new practice here is incredible. I will be continuing to bring my pets here for the foreseeable future

I just had my first visit here as I am new to the area and was trying to find the right fit for my dog. Dr. Page and her team were warm, welcoming and made the visit great. They had great options for services and listened to my questions and opinions on what was best for my dog. I would highly recommend!

If you want a vet clinic with caring, efficient and knowledgeable staff, this is the place to bring your pet(s). Dr. Abi and her staff make you feel welcomed from beginning to end. Patiently answering every question to reassure you and then taking the time to walk you through every step of the way to bring your pet into better health. I noticed that some reviews speak of a Dr. Frost and comparing the two. I guess this was a former owner and though I never met him/her, for me, there's no comparison at all. You honestly can't ask for a better vet to take care of your Prince (or Princess). I have no regrets whatsoever and am so glad I made the decision to move to Dr. Abi and her team. Compassionate, thoughtful, beyond knowledgeable and almost intuitive in her care. Very individualized care with comparative costs tbh. Modern, clean and yet welcoming without making you feel like just another number to process. Dealt with my anxious one like a pro and got him through his examination seamlessly. This is my choice of vet hands down for as long as we live in the area. Thank you Dr. Abi!

I had a great experience with Dr. Abi and Dr. Paige. While I was extremely worried when I found out Dr. Frost was retiring and Chaya would no longer be there, I had a conversation with Dr. Abi over the phone about my concerns related to my kids (frenchies), and I felt much better after talking to her. Recently I had to bring one of my dogs in due to allergies that she recently developed, and again I was extremely worried because Dr. Abi who I was somewhat familiar with wasn’t available, so we had to see Dr. Paige. Dr. Paige listened to my concerns, discussed our options, and answered all of my questions. She was very gentle with my dog and showed her so much love. Dr. Abi even stopped by to say hi.I had a lot of different emotions when I learned that Dr. Frost was retiring - mostly because my dogs are high maintenance and Dr. Frost always listened to my concerns and showed so much compassion. While there will only ever be ONE Dr. Frost, Dr. Abi and Dr. Paige have been great and I will continue to bring my kids to them.

I recently had a sick pet and the vet team in this building were so nice and supportive of any options and explained options and terms clearly. When the results of my pet did not turn out the way we wanted it to they supported and helped us through putting down our cat. As someone who hasn’t done this before I felt cared for! Dr. Abi and her team were wonderful.

This is our family vet. This is the first place our cats are taken for medical care with genuine heart. Dr. Frost is a kind, experienced gentleman and the rest of the staff are great, too. In addition to the great care, the prices are fair, unlike other nearby places that have been taken over by a large corporation.

Silver Lake has been awesome with our Springer puppy and our cat. All of the staff there is amazing and so nice and friendly. Their prices are also fair and not to high. And not too hard to get in for appointments. Highly recommended!

Happy Visits

Happy Visits are designed to make veterinary care a positive pet experience. These visits are $1 per minute, with a $5 minimum. Our goal is to establish cooperative care, especially for our anxious patients. Cooperative care reduces stress and builds trust between pets and our team. We also prescribe pre-appointment medications to help ease anxiety and ensure a more comfortable visit for your pet.

Diagnostics

Diagnostic testing plays a crucial role in identifying and treating health issues in pets. At our hospital, we offer a range of diagnostic tests to accurately assess your pet’s health and guide treatment decisions.

Spay & Neuter

These procedures offer numerous benefits for both pets and their owners, contributing to a healthier, happier pet population and reducing the number of homeless animals.

Spaying and neutering are surgical procedures performed under anesthesia by our experienced veterinary team. Our team will discuss the associated benefits for your pet and walk you through each step of your pet’s care. 

    Peaceful Passings & Grief Suppport

    Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is one of the most difficult decisions you may ever have to make, and we’re here to support you and your pet through this emotional journey. Our peaceful passings and grief support services are designed to provide comfort, compassion, and dignity to both pets and their families during this challenging time.

    In-Home Peaceful Passing Euthanasia

    We understand how difficult it can be to say goodbye to a beloved pet, which is why we offer in-home peaceful passings. Our compassionate team will come to your home, allowing you to say farewell in a familiar and comforting environment.

    In-House Pharmacy

    We have an in-house pharmacy to provide quick and timely access to your pet’s prescriptions.  

    Urgent Care

    Our veterinary hospital provides life-saving procedures during our open hours, serving pets experiencing urgent symptoms such as coughing, ear infections, growths, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, poisoning, scooting, cuts or lacerations, eye infections, limping, persistent scratching, rashes, and urinary issues. While we're not an emergency hospital, we're equipped to handle critical situations and offer immediate care for your pet's well-being.

    Kitten & Puppy Care

    Our veterinarians will provide you with a comprehensive vaccination schedule, parasite evaluation and prevention plan, along with heartworm, flea, and tick prevention.  They will also discuss spaying or neutering, along with other important topics to support your pet’s health. 

    Cancer Care

    Our veterinarians are experienced in diagnosing and evaluating treatment options for your pet should a cancer diagnosis occur.  These options may include care in our hospital or in some cases, consultation or referral to a cancer specialist.  

    Surgery

    Whether your pet requires a routine procedure or complex surgery, you can trust our experienced veterinary team to provide compassionate care and expert surgical expertise.

    X-Rays

    X-rays are invaluable tools in veterinary medicine, providing detailed images of your pet’s internal structures to aid in diagnosis and treatment. We offer both full-body and dental X-rays to ensure comprehensive care for your furry family member.

    Dental Cleaning & Health

    Did you know that dental disease is one of the most common health problems in pets, affecting up to 80% of dogs and 70% of cats by the age of three?

    Our dental cleaning services are designed to keep your pet’s teeth and gums healthy, ensuring a lifetime of good oral hygiene. Regular dental cleanings are essential for preventing dental disease and maintaining your pet’s overall health and well-being. By addressing dental issues early, we can help prevent pain, infection, and other serious health problems down the road.

    Vaccinations

    Vaccinations are a crucial part of your pet’s care plan, providing protection against serious and potentially life-threatening diseases.  You can expect our veterinarians to discuss the core vaccines recommended for all pets, along with a customized vaccination plan that is tailored to your pet’s age, lifestyle, and risk factors.

      FAQ

      What animals do you see at Hometown Veterinary Partners?

      Currently, we specialize in serving our feline and canine friends. Typically, we refer birds, exotics, and pocket pets (hamster, guinea pig, rabbit, chinchillas, gerbils), and other small pet patients to the nearest hospital that specializes in their unique care. If you have any questions or concerns about the care of your pet, please don't hesitate to call us for guidance and referrals.

      What types of payment do you take?

      We accept major credit cards (Visa and Mastercard) at the time of service. Payment plans are available through Scratch Pay. Feel free to contact us with any payment inquiries. We apologize for the inconvenience, but cash and checks are not accepted.

      How is Hometown Veterinary Partners different from traditional veterinary practices?

      At Hometown Veterinary Partners, we're focused on pets and people. We understand the importance of building strong relationships with both our clients and our team members. That's why we strive to create a supportive and inclusive work environment where veterinarians can thrive and provide the highest quality care for your pets. Founded by individuals who left corporate veterinary practices behind, our organization is driven by a commitment to fostering a culture of empowerment and support.

      Do you offer cat-only rooms?

      We understand that cats have unique needs and can often feel stressed or anxious around dogs. To ensure a calm and comfortable environment for our feline friends, our larger locations offer cat-only exam and treatment rooms. These rooms are designed to provide a peaceful and safe space for your cat, free from the presence and smell of dogs.

      For our locations that do not have cat-only rooms, we use a low-stress handling approach including pheromone diffusers, and minimizing wait times and interactions with dogs. If you are concerned about your cat's anxiety, contact our hospital and review our tips to help reduce your cat's anxiety during transport and visits to the vet.  Tips on transporting your cat to the vet

      Are you a corporation?

      At Hometown Veterinary Partners we are not a corporation. Our entity is set up as a partnership, founded by individuals who have transitioned from corporate veterinary practices. We are driven by a commitment to fostering a culture of empowerment and support, aiming to provide the best possible care for your beloved pets.
