Prunedale Veterinary Services assists families in Salinas and nearby California regions by crafting appointment schedules that emphasize emotional pacing to maintain consistency while reducing disruptions and enhancing wellness. The beginning of the visit sees animals permitted to enter according to their individual timing. The staff observes their movement patterns within the space while recording the duration it takes them to settle and identifying which sensory cuesβtouch, sound, scentβthey most frequently respond to. Examinations incorporate comprehensive assessments of hydration status, skin elasticity, limb mobility, dental health, coat condition, and weight distribution alongside thorough discussions about recent sleep pattern alterations, feeding schedules, and domestic energy fluctuations. Prunedale Veterinary Services delivers vaccinations bloodwork mobility care dental planning preventive guidance surgical support and long-term care discussions. The delivery of services occurs either step-by-step or in a merged form according to the sensory inclinations of pets. Certain families opt for multiple brief visits to manage care while others select single appointments combined with post-care resources. Each plan emerges from the family's capacity to implement it by considering caregiver emotional load pet resilience transportation access and household scheduling patterns. Medical appointments offer spaces for inquiries along with side notes and story-sharing which proves essential for new adopters and chronic condition managers. Prunedale Veterinary Services assists pet families across Salinas and nearby California regions to integrate care into their daily lives as a natural rhythm instead of a fearful or avoidable task thereby fostering opportunities for connection and establishing sustainable wellness practices.
First time with our tiny Dolly. Very helpful staff. Was able to get her shots that day. Caring vet and staff. Reasonably priced.

Vet referred us to someone who finally figured out what is wrong with my dog. My Bella loved her and even though vet gave her a shot was still friendly.

It's hard to overstate how great it is to have Dena Eckerdt DVM and Prunedale Veterinary Services to take care of our animals. Dr. Eckerdt brings her considerable depth of experience and knowledge to bear on every issue your pet may present, from the least to the most challenging, without over-diagnosing, over-treating or over-charging. Her attitude of calm competence is carried through by her team of assistants (and if you don't get Larry the receptionist's sense of humor, you're missing out on a delightful personality). Though the clinic and staff are not large and they don't promise to be available 24-7-365, they communicate well and balance any limitations through their relationships with the local network of specialist resources. For example, recently Dena referred one of our 10-year-old greyhounds to a larger facility in Santa Cruz for more extensive imaging in order to get the most accurate pain diagnosis possible. With that information, she put together a treatment plan based on her hands-on traditional experience plus cutting edge laser therapy and had our boy walking like a 3-year-old again within two weeks, at a more than reasonable cost. There is Β absolutely no substitute for Dena's kind expertise and common sense. We are very lucky to have her and her crew in our neighborhood. Read Less

I know the vet cares for my dogs as much as I do, and everyone in this office is wonderful. Dr. Dena is very straight forward and explains everything too you so you know what shes doing. She never talks down to you. I came here from San Diego where I had the same vet for 23 years, now I will have Dr. Dena until she retires......in a very long time from now I hope. Read Less
