Welcome to VCA Country Oaks Animal Hospital – Where Compassion Meets Excellence in Veterinary Care
At VCA Country Oaks Animal Hospital, we believe that every pet deserves a life filled with health, happiness, and love. Nestled in the heart of Sacramento, our hospital has been a trusted partner in pet care for generations. We are proud to offer a warm, welcoming environment where pets and their families feel supported, understood, and cared for.
Our hospital is located in Sacramento, CA on Fair Oaks Boulevard between Arden Way and Eastern Avenue by Jesuit High School. We serve the greater Sacramento area including Arden-Arcade, Carmichael, Rancho Cordova, North Sacramento and East Sacramento. We are open 7 days a week.
At VCA Country Oaks, our mission is simple: to help pets live long, healthy, and joyful lives. From your pet’s first wellness visit to advanced diagnostics and lifelong preventive care, our team is here every step of the way. We specialize in treating cats, dogs, exotics and pocket pets, and offer services ranging from acupuncture and dentistry to surgery and exotic animal medicine.
What sets us apart is our Fear Free Certified approach. We understand that veterinary visits can be stressful, so we’ve designed our hospital with separate entrances for dogs and cats, calming spaces, and a team trained to reduce anxiety and promote comfort. Whether it’s a sprinkle of catnip or a tennis ball toss, we strive to make every visit a positive experience.
Our veterinarians, technicians, and support staff are not only highly trained—they’re deeply passionate about what they do. Dr. Irene Fujishima Nakaoka, Dr. Katherine Imig, Dr. Katie Chiu, Dr. Jamie Cheong and Dr. Lauren Poon bring together expertise, empathy, and a commitment to excellence. We tailor care plans to each pet’s unique lifestyle and needs, ensuring personalized attention and optimal outcomes.
We’re more than a veterinary hospital—we’re a community. Our hospital is proud to be affiliated with the Feline Veterinary Medical Association and to be part of the VCA network, giving us access to cutting-edge resources and a collaborative team of over 4,000 veterinary professionals.
So, whether you’re here for a routine check-up, a complex procedure, or just a treat and a warm smile, we welcome you to experience the VCA Country Oaks difference. Let’s build a lifelong partnership in caring for your beloved companions. We’re committed to making care accessible for every pet. That’s why we offer CareClub® wellness plans, accept CareCredit and Scratchpay, and work with all pet insurance providers.
We harness the scale and strength of our global network while acknowledging each individual's contribution. We work locally to improve the lives of all who interact with our brand.
