Adobe Animal Hospital

Petaluma, California
General Info
Welcome to our hospital!
At Adobe Animal Hospital we are dedicated to becoming your trusted partner in providing superior care for your pet. Our skilled and compassionate team is here to help you provide your best friend with a long healthy life.
We believe that a gentle, low stress environment goes hand in hand (and hand in paw) with great medical care. Keeping your pet happy and comfortable during their visit with us is a priority.
We are happy to take extra time and care with anxious or nervous pets (or their people) , and always practice proactive pain management.
Dr. Yvonne Stemwedel is a diplomate of the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners, certified in canine and feline practice. Certification by the ABVP requires a long process of additional studies and examination beyond what is normally required of veterinarians.
In addition to modern wellness care and progressive medicine, dentistry and surgery, Dr. Stemwedel is an experienced ultrasonographer. She is also certified to perform PennHip evaluations for hip dysplasia, and is a credentialed provider of Vet-Stem regenerative stem cell therapy.
We pride ourselves on being cat friendly. While many of our dog friends naturally enjoy visiting Adobe Animal Hospital (it’s a fun car ride and free cookies), our cat friends are generally less enthusiastic. In an effort to change that, we have taken some steps to help make your cat’s visit easier and more enjoyable for both of you.
Please give us a call, drop us an email, or come on down and visit. We’re looking forward to meeting you!

This is a newer veterinary hospital in Petaluma. It serves cats and dogs and has separate areas for them, so cats are less scared. Dr. Stemwedel is nice and easy to work with in solving your pets problems and needs. My daughter took her cats to a male veterinarian here and said he was very good also. I've only gone a few times so far, but each time I haven't had to wait long the front desk employees as well as the assistance have been polite and friendly and most importantly good with my pets. Another credit I would give this veterinarian is that I have never felt rushed. Each time she has given me the time I needed to ask all of my questions and consider all the information she's provided. They have Royal Canin prescription pet food here as well as a few other supplies, such as vitamins and flea medications. They are not inexpensive, but I have never found a good vet who was. I always wish it was more affordable to get the care for our pets that they need without breaking the bank, but if they get better when they're sick and healed when they're hurt in a nice facility that is clean and well-kept and well-staffed, I guess it's the best we can do. They have a private parking lot with easy access to the front door and the hospital is very conveniently located off of a main thoroughfare. Read Less

Both of my dogs have been going here for about two years now . My dog was hit by a car and taken to the vca pet hospital in Santa Rosa, she had both hind paws degloved from the accedent. I brought her to Adobe for her bandages to be changed witch are going to be done daily. They tried to charge me for an examination witch is a chumped up charge!!! Not to mention over 200 .oo dollars just to change the bandages . Over priced and not good with my dogs . I took my other dog in on Halloween and I. Was Charged over 300 For maybe a 30 second examination of my dog . this place will take your money and don't care about your dog it's obvious cash is King at this vet. By the way I got her bandages changed at a different place for a fraction of the cost of Adobe! This place doesn't deserve 1 star. Read Less

I regret to write a negative review about Adobe Animal Hospital as it is a new, beautiful facility and a convenient place to bring your pets. Additionally, I have never used yelp to post a negative review considering not every experience can be a great one. I can not speak to the other veterinarian at this hospital, however, my experience with Dr. Dekleva yesterday was enough for me to never go back and to want others to know. The staff were friendly, however, my interaction with Dr. Dekleva left me feeling shamed and scrutinized for the tests and procedures that I opted out of.  My dog is 15 years old and it is clear she is coming to the end of her life. From my perspective the risk and expense of extensive testing and procedures does not outweigh the benefit to her at this time.  That being said, it is my priority to keep her in overall good health and to ensure her quality of life for the time she has left.  During our short exam, Dr Dekleva made multiple sarcastic remarks, about how concerning it was that I opted out of certain tests and preventive treatments such as teeth cleaning.  His remark was "I guess my teeth would look that bad if I only brushed them every two years too."  My dog had her teeth cleaned two years ago, but the risks of sedation for a dog her age seems to outweigh the benefits considering she has no difficulty eating and shows no signs of problems with her teeth. There were other sarcastic remarks and judgmental comments in response to tests I declined which made it clear how he felt about me as a pet owner.  My 13 year old daughter was with me and commented as we walked out the door that she didn't like how he treated me and she wished he knew how important our dog is to us and how well we take care of her.  Enough said.

Come to find out our pup had a foxtail stuck in his throat, because of Adobe's sense of urgency, he was back to normal and feeling better in no time! We are going to continue bringing our puppy to adobe for everything! Not to mention, the facility is state of the art and very clean!

We started going to Adobe Animal Hospital last year when we got a new puppy and had just moved to the area, and selected this vet based on the online reviews from multiple sites. We could not be happier! The vets and staff are great, wonderful with animals, and really seem to care. They take our concerns seriously and never try to up-sell us on services or treatments we don't need. They also explain every treatment or procedure clearly, and why it's needed. No mystery charges ever end up on the bill. My favorite part is that they call to follow up with your pet's progress a few days after every visit, and if you forget to check in with them, they will call you again! I've never experienced that kind of thoroughness before with a vet. Their new location is huge and such an improvement. Definitely 5 star experiences every time. Read Less

I was looking for a new vet this year and brought my senior dog in after a bad episode with arthritis. I saw the vet,(blanking on his name) he was great with Charlie. He knew right away what was going on and only ran basic blood work. The whole office was warm and kind. Not once did they suggest outrageous tests or scans.They called that afternoon and the next morning to see how Charlie was feeling on his meds. Recently I had to bring him in for what I thought was a stroke. I was worried for my old friend. The entire office was kind and fit us right in. They identified his symptoms quickly and again did not ask to perform a million tests.  Laura, Molly and Dr. Stemwedel were caring and warm. There were others too that met me at the door to help guide my old friend into the office and they helped me get him back in the car after giving him fluids and meds.The office is clean and a good size. I feel like they really cared about  my Charlie and me (I may have been crying an ugly cry;)Thank you for your kindness-the warmth and expertise of your office was so appreciated! Read Less

In January, our 16 year old cat got so ill that he couldn't eat and drink anymore and I tried to get somebody to come to our house to euthanize him. The in-home pet euthanasia service was booked to the end of the week and I knew that he would last that long without suffering. I chose Adobe Animal Hospital mainly because it's the closest vet to our house, but I also saw that the Yelp reviews had improved drastically since Dr. Stemwedel took over the place.Considering that it was the worst day in our lives (I already cried on the phone making the appointment), our experience with this vet was nothing short of outstanding! We got so much compassion from every single person who works there; we weren't rushed and they were gentle and calm during the hole process.

I consider myself and my cat lucky to have found Dr. Stemwedel and her staff. Typically my cat hates going to the vet and gets very stressed out but at Adobe they have no-stress strategies and procedures for keeping a cat calm and comfortable and my cat remained completely at ease throughout the visit. Dr. Stemwedel and her assistant kept me informed about why they were doing each procedure during the visit. Before proceeding with something for which there was a charge, they reviewed the charge with me and made sure I was okay with the cost before proceeding. When the results of the tests were ready the next day, Dr. Stemwedel called me herself to explain, in detail, each result and discussed every aspect of all options for treatment. Adobe also has individualized web pages for each patient and they respond quickly to phone calls and e-mails. Dr. Stemwedel and her staff are gentle, knowledgable and compassionate with animals and people. Read Less

I regret to write a negative review about Adobe Animal Hospital as it is a new, beautiful facility and a convenient place to bring your pets. Additionally, I have never used yelp to post a negative review considering not every experience can be a great one. I can not speak to the other veterinarian at this hospital, however, my experience with Dr. Dekleva yesterday was enough for me to never go back and to want others to know. The staff were friendly, however, my interaction with Dr. Dekleva left me feeling shamed and scrutinized for the tests and procedures that I opted out of.  My dog is 15 years old and it is clear she is coming to the end of her life. From my perspective the risk and expense of extensive testing and procedures does not outweigh the benefit to her at this time.  That being said, it is my priority to keep her in overall good health and to ensure her quality of life for the time she has left.  During our short exam, Dr Dekleva made multiple sarcastic remarks, about how concerning it was that I opted out of certain tests and preventive treatments such as teeth cleaning.  His remark was "I guess my teeth would look that bad if I only brushed them every two years too."  My dog had her teeth cleaned two years ago, but the risks of sedation for a dog her age seems to outweigh the benefits considering she has no difficulty eating and shows no signs of problems with her teeth. There were other sarcastic remarks and judgmental comments in response to tests I declined which made it clear how he felt about me as a pet owner.  My 13 year old daughter was with me and commented as we walked out the door that she didn't like how he treated me and she wished he knew how important our dog is to us and how well we take care of her.  Enough said.

We are so grateful for Adobe! Our pup had some serious stuff going on, and our regular vet couldn't get him in for almost a week, we called adobe and they got him in within 15 minutes! Come to find out our pup had a foxtail stuck in his throat, because of Adobe's sense of urgency, he was back to normal and feeling better in no time! We are going to continue bringing our puppy to adobe for everything! Not to mention, the facility is state of the art and very clean!

We started going to Adobe Animal Hospital last year when we got a new puppy and had just moved to the area, and selected this vet based on the online reviews from multiple sites. We could not be happier! The vets and staff are great, wonderful with animals, and really seem to care. They take our concerns seriously and never try to up-sell us on services or treatments we don't need. They also explain every treatment or procedure clearly, and why it's needed. No mystery charges ever end up on the bill. My favorite part is that they call to follow up with your pet's progress a few days after every visit, and if you forget to check in with them, they will call you again! I've never experienced that kind of thoroughness before with a vet. Their new location is huge and such an improvement. Definitely 5 star experiences every time. Read Less

I was looking for a new vet this year and brought my senior dog in after a bad episode with arthritis. I saw the vet,(blanking on his name) he was great with Charlie. He knew right away what was going on and only ran basic blood work. The whole office was warm and kind. Not once did they suggest outrageous tests or scans.They called that afternoon and the next morning to see how Charlie was feeling on his meds. Recently I had to bring him in for what I thought was a stroke. I was worried for my old friend. The entire office was kind and fit us right in. They identified his symptoms quickly and again did not ask to perform a million tests.  Laura, Molly and Dr. Stemwedel were caring and warm. There were others too that met me at the door to help guide my old friend into the office and they helped me get him back in the car after giving him fluids and meds.The office is clean and a good size. I feel like they really cared about  my Charlie and me (I may have been crying an ugly cry;)Thank you for your kindness-the warmth and expertise of your office was so appreciated! Read Less

In January, our 16 year old cat got so ill that he couldn't eat and drink anymore and I tried to get somebody to come to our house to euthanize him. The in-home pet euthanasia service was booked to the end of the week and I knew that he would last that long without suffering. I chose Adobe Animal Hospital mainly because it's the closest vet to our house, but I also saw that the Yelp reviews had improved drastically since Dr. Stemwedel took over the place.Considering that it was the worst day in our lives (I already cried on the phone making the appointment), our experience with this vet was nothing short of outstanding! We got so much compassion from every single person who works there; we weren't rushed and they were gentle and calm during the hole process. Should I ever have a pet again (to me a pet is a family member!), this is the place I will come to for all its health needs!A most sincere thank you to Dr. Stemwedel and her staff! Read Less

I consider myself and my cat lucky to have found Dr. Stemwedel and her staff. Typically my cat hates going to the vet and gets very stressed out but at Adobe they have no-stress strategies and procedures for keeping a cat calm and comfortable and my cat remained completely at ease throughout the visit. Dr. Stemwedel and her assistant kept me informed about why they were doing each procedure during the visit. Before proceeding with something for which there was a charge, they reviewed the charge with me and made sure I was okay with the cost before proceeding. When the results of the tests were ready the next day, Dr. Stemwedel called me herself to explain, in detail, each result and discussed every aspect of all options for treatment. Adobe also has individualized web pages for each patient and they respond quickly to phone calls and e-mails. Dr. Stemwedel and her staff are gentle, knowledgable and compassionate with animals and people. Read Less
