Arden Animal Hospital
Arden Animal Hospital is a well-established( family owned since 1979), full-service, small animal veterinary hospital providing comprehensive medical, surgical and dental care. We provide a broad spectrum of diagnostic procedures through in-house testing and the use of external laboratories. We also work closely with local practices when special diagnostic procedures are required.

The facility includes a well-stocked pharmacy, in-hospital surgery suite, in-house x-ray capabilities, a closely supervised hospitalization area, and indoor boarding kennels with outdoor walking areas. At Arden Animal Hospital we strive to offer not only sound advice, but also optimal veterinary care, thus allowing you the enjoyment of your companion for a maximum number of years.
Services
Because of the shorter lifespan of our pets, we stress the importance of an annual physical examination. Thorough check-ups and preventive care can help alleviate serious health problems. Diagnostic and Therapeutic Services: Our hospital is equipped to provide diagnostic and therapeutic services to care for your pets' complete health care needs.
I received my D.V.M with honors, from the UC Davis in 2013. Prior to veterinary school I was a biology lecturer at San Diego State University. I am interested in all aspects of veterinary medicine, especially dermatology and surgery. I was born and raised in Sacramento, only 3 miles from Arden Animal Hospital!
Growing up my life always involved animals, from finding lost dogs (even some that weren't), to participating in a World Championship Vaulting competition held in Vienna Austria. Today I pride myself in helping the Arden Animal Hospital team achieve lasting client relationships with personalized care and client education.
We are Grant and Heather Kendall, and we are honored to carry on the traditions and values of our father, Tom Kendall, DVM. Our dad joined Arden Animal Hospital is 1972 and purchased the clinic in 1979 where he spent over 40 years practicing veterinary medicine.

When he became ill with pancreatic cancer in late 2014, as a family, we decided it was important for us to continue his legacy to ensure that Arden Animal Hospital continues to grow and serve our Sacramento community.Our father taught us important life lessons that have not only shaped our personal values, but are also the cornerstone of Arden Animal Hospital.
We hope you enjoy our clean and inviting animal hospital. Our client service representatives will greet you and your pet when you arrive and will make sure you have everything you need for your upcoming appointment.

I had to cancel my holiday plans because my dog came down with a skin condition and could not leave him with friends who would dog sit him. I called my vet and they would not be able to see me until March (not cool). I called around for the earliest availability and this vet could see me mid-January. Not ideal but better than March. On Christmas eve they contacted me saying they had a cancellation for 9am Monday and I took it. They are a small facility with a small parking lot so large trucks will struggle parking. You can phone in your check in and they had me in the exam room with Dr. Benedetto

I came to Arden Animal Hospital when my dog was clearly sick and our old vet could not see for 2 weeks. Can you imagine? Well, we stayed with AAH! They are always so sweet and accomadating to my GSD, he loves people, but not other dog (rescue PTSD). The staff is always helpful, and respectful of my budget. We have only been there during COVID times, so I cannot review the office itself. But the appointments always go well, Dr. calls and takes there time, and tech visits are super quick. Yes, they are a bit more than our old vet or others in the area, but well worth the extra $$'s.

Dr. Miller was awesome! Great experience! She had to poke him with a needle on his ear to get a sample of what was inside the bump he had. It was no threat to his health! Very relieved! She told us that our little boy was so good that she put a Gold Star on his head!!! See the joyous moment in the Photos!

What can I say, Arden Animal Hospital is the best. The Veterinarians and staff are amazing. The lobby is very inviting and calm. They genuinely care about you and your furbaby. Dr Tobey is compassionate and helped me through a difficult time with my almost 21 year old kitty, Dexter.
I would highly recommend Arden Animal Hospital to anyone.

I've taken my dogs here for their checkup and flea med prescription. I had a very good experience. Front desk reception was courteous and the doctor was professional and in good spirits.
Unfortunately, recently I had an ill feline. I attempted to book an appointment but was notified that they are booked for the next 3 weeks. Luckily, the feline just had what appears to have been a viris and she's all better now. They did provide me with contact numbers for an alternative and an emergency care location.

I have been bringing my dogs and cats to AAH for years. The doctors and staff have displayed what feels like genuine care/concern and professionalism, not only to me but my animal family as well. I have never doubted that my pets were in good hands and that treatment recommendations were in their best interest. I also appreciate the follow up phone calls after procedures to check in on how my pet was doing. I have no reservations in recommending AAH to other pet owners!

The visit was delightful as always. The only way my experience could have been better is if it was free. Hahahahaha The doctor and staff are kind, loving and really care about my dog. My dog is little so her vaccine made her very tired. The doctor called me to followup and see how she was doing the days after. My dogs always get great care from the doctors and staff at Arden Animal Hospital.

Our new puppy has round worms and they were very quick to get us in and help our pup. Dr.Tobey helped us today and I am so pleased with the communication and the outcome. With covid, I thought it would make it way more difficult to get our puppy help but it was so easy here. Even over a phone call with the doctor, she made sure not to leave anything out as if we were in person talking. I will definitely be bringing our pup and cats here from now on.
