Or hospital is located right off of the I-15 at W. Citracado Parkway just south of the CA-78, and has ample parking in our private parking lot.

Our health care team is committed to providing exceptional client service while practicing high-quality veterinary medicine. We are pet owners ourselves and believe that a compassionate approach to veterinary medicine should be at the heart of all we do. This is why our focus is on providing the best preventative care possible.

We also offer illness care, early disease detection, surgery, laboratory testing, digital dentistry, whole body x-ray capability, pharmacy, as well as Home Delivery services and CareClub.

VCA Acacia Animal Hospital and Pet Resort is an accredited member of the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA). We will regularly undergo inspections by AAHA to ensure that we comply with the association’s high-quality standards of care. Our latest accreditation took place in July 2024 where we passed with flying colors! These standards cover nearly every aspect of our hospital including: surgery, pharmacy, laboratory, exam facilities, pet health records, cleanliness, emergency services, dental and nursing care, diagnostic imaging, and anesthesiology. Approximately 15 percent of animal hospitals in North America are accredited by AAHA. This is a great honor to share with our clients and patients!
