We have made the difficult decision to permanently close VCA Bay Area Veterinary Specialists. Emergency services will cease on 3/22, and the hospital will close on 3/31. Patient records are being transferred to VCA Encina Veterinary Medical Center in Walnut Creek, where they have specialists in internal medicine, medical oncology, surgery, and dentistry. You can continue to call our main line to request your pet’s medical records, as it will be directed to a dedicated voicemail after our closure.
For any emergencies after 3/22, we encourage you to locate the nearest 24/7 hospital to you. Three nearby options are SAGE Veterinary Centers in Dublin, OakVet Animal Specialty Hospital in Oakland or VCA Encina in Walnut Creek.
We deeply appreciate your trust and support over the years our hospital has served this community. It has been a joy and a privilege to care for your pets.

Analgesia is the relief from pain. Pain can be difficult to assess in animals due to their inability to communicate directly about what they are experiencing. Instead, we must rely on indirect signs of pain. It is safe to assume that anything painful to a person is also painful to an animal. It is ideal for analgesia to be administered preemptively, or before, instead of waiting until after clinical signs of pain are observed. Analgesia is most often achieved pharmacologically, or with drugs.
