Saddleback Animal Hospital

Tustin, California
General Info
Saddleback Animal Hospital in Tustin offers a long-term, multi-stage approach to veterinary care for pet owners throughout California. It is executed from listening to the pet’s behavior, household routine, and the weekly family observation. During the initial visits, veterinarians conduct full-body physical examinations targeting various bodily aspects such as dental health, joint movement and gait analysis, eye condition, hydration status, and nervous system responses. Owners can report the pets’ latest behaviors such as any changes in eating patterns, sleeping habits, or handling tolerance. They set the pace for care by establishing what needs to be done next, but do not pressure the child’s family into making more than one decision at a time. Saddleback Animal Hospital provides preventative care and diagnostic panels, weight tracking, surgical consultations, senior wellness services, and chronic condition coaching. Plans adjust to each family setting, whether it is an apartment where noise factors are starting to emerge or a household with multiple pets that are at different life stages. Transition approaches ensure that pet owners remain confident as their pets’ needs progress from preventive to monitoring and from temporary management to balanced stability. Each level is easy to understand and progression is measured by evaluating how consistent the pet’s behavior at home is, how easy it is for owners to perform the necessary care and how ready they are to continue training in the next visit. Rather than overwhelming families with multiple tasks, the team utilizes a “spaced” approach with flexible scheduling and optional check-ins for progress assessment. Saddleback Animal Hospital offers Tustin families and the entire California state organized care methods that focus on shared advancement, which align with the pet life cycle. The team provides several specialized services, such as In-House Pharmacy and Preventive Medicine. Clients consistently praise the practice for its exemplary care and the personalized attention it gives to pets’ needs. Whether it’s a routine checkup or a complex surgery, the clinic ensures that your pet receives top-notch care in a serene and welcoming setting. Advanced diagnostics and treatment options are available on-site to streamline your pet’s care.

Hands down, best veterinarian we have ever been to! Dr. Kavanaugh is beyond caring with staff, patients and their human owners. An example: I came home one night to find that my 15 year old cat was suddenly drooling. Right before closing, I called to see if we could come in. Even though they closed in 15 minutes, Dr. Kavanaugh said yes. My poor cat Isis had a huge tumor in her mouth, and I had no idea. We chose to put her down that evening, and in no way did Dr. Kavanaugh make the decision rushed - he presented us with multiple options and stayed open late to accommodate us. A week later? A beautiful blooming orchid was delivered. This is but one example. He often works us in for allergy shots for my dog Trevi. He treats his staff better than I have even known a doctor to, and will often answer the phone himself when they are busy. He cares about animals and always spends time with us. We will never go anywhere else! Read Less

I have always taken my dogs to Dr Kavanaugh and referred people to take their animals there also. I always loved the office and staff until recently my 10 year old cat had a complete urinary block and Dr Kavanaugh refused to see my poor cat because I didn't have the money up front for his treatment. I was told that they would not see him because money is always tight for me. I have always paid them and don't owe them a penny. I was heart broken. I found another vet that literally saved my cats life and gave me Info for organizations that helped pay for my cats treatment. I am still in shock about the treatment I received from Saddleback staff. Read Less
