A World of Techniques and Services to Support Your Pet's Well-Being

From the first few weeks of a life well into the senior years, your pet's health and wellness needs change and evolve. That's why you want to make sure that your San Diego veterinary clinic can accommodate all of those needs, challenges, and phases of life. Here at VCA Bay Park Animal Hospital, we maintain a full suite of services and techniques to help your pet thrive, including:

• Preventative care - We can watch over every inch of your pet to ensure his ongoing wellness, providing valuable preventative services ranging from physical exams and dental care to vaccinations and parasite prevention.
• Surgery - If your pet must undergo surgery, you'll feel a lot better knowing that we're one of the few San Diego clinics that provides state-of-the-art endoscopic and laparoscopic surgical procedures. We can perform emergency trauma surgery, tumor removals, dental surgery, orthopedic surgery, spay/neuter surgery and more.
• Internal medicine, external medicine and pain management - Our advanced diagnostic methods help us detect internal or external health challenges quickly and accurately. We then provide a wide range of treatment options to help your pet recover. If your pet is suffering from acute or chronic pain, we offer drug-free treatment options such as cold laser therapy an even acupuncture.

Meet Our Veterinarians and Staff

There, Dr. Posthumus served as a member of the Phi Zeta Honor Society as well. His specialty areas include diagnostic ultrasounds, soft-tissue surgery, and internal medicine.

Dr. Crosby Roper is one of our Associate Veterinarians and his areas of expertise include endoscopy, acupuncture, and ultrasonograpy. Our pet owners enjoy that he’s always willing to take the time to sit down and answer any questions or concerns.

In addition to our doctors, we also have a great team of staff members committed to making your pet’s experience with us as enjoyable as possible.
