One hospital on Alum Rock Ave
Alum Rock Animal Hospital sees dogs, cats, birds, pocket pets and exotics at 2810 Alum Rock Ave in San Jose, every day of the week.
Most of what happens here is preventative: wellness exams, vaccinations, parasite prevention, puppy and kitten visits, nutritional counseling, and geriatric care that changes what we look for as a pet gets older.
When something is wrong, the answers stay in the building. In-house laboratory, advanced digital X-rays and ultrasound, then surgery, pain management and rehabilitation therapy from the same team that made the diagnosis.

Bad breath is not just bad breath. It is dental disease under the gumline, which is why dental care here means cleaning, X-ray and extractions under anesthesia rather than a look in the mouth and a guess.
Constant scratching is the same story from the other end. Dermatology and allergy testing separate fleas from food from what is in the air, so the treatment matches the cause instead of chasing the itch.
And the ones nobody plans for
Emergency and urgent care during open hours, with the laboratory and the X-ray suite a few steps from the exam room. Orthopedic surgery, C-sections and pain management when a case turns surgical.
Afterwards there is laser therapy and rehabilitation therapy to get the movement back, and there is honest conversation about geriatric care and euthanasia when the kindest choice is also the hardest one.
Kidney failure and leptospirosis, before you need to know
Cats hide kidney disease until most of the function is already gone. The early signs are drinking more water and losing weight slowly, both easy to live with for months without noticing. Bloodwork at a wellness exam finds it far earlier than behavior does.
Dogs reach kidney failure the same slow way, or overnight after leptospirosis, a bacterial infection carried in standing water and the urine of wildlife. There is a vaccine for it. Ask about both at the next visit.
