Veterinary Clinic near Beale AFB, CA

At Stonebridge Veterinary Wellness, our veterinary clinic near Beale AFB, CA provides compassionate, comprehensive pet care focused on your companion’s health, comfort, and well-being.

Beale Air Force Base has its own veterinary treatment facility, but it’s not a full civilian option. Care there is limited to government-owned animals and pets belonging to DEERS-enrolled patrons, and the facility itself focuses on preventative medicine like vaccines and microchipping rather than emergency care, extended treatment, or surgery. Pets that need more than that are referred out to civilian practices.

Stonebridge Veterinary Wellness is a civilian practice open to any pet owner, whether or not you’re eligible for on-base care. We provide board-certified surgical training, in-house imaging and lab work, and a partnership with an outside lab for more extensive testing — the kind of care the on-base facility itself refers out for.

What "Referred Out" Means for Your Pet

If your pet isn’t eligible for on-base care, or needs something beyond preventative medicine, you need a civilian vet before the need becomes urgent, not while you’re already dealing with a sick or injured pet. That matters most during a PCS: new duty station, new area, and often no established relationship with a local vet yet.

At Stonebridge Veterinary Wellness, surgery, extended treatment, dental care, and diagnostics all happen at one Roseville location, with the same doctors from first visit through follow-up. For military families settling into the area, that means one relationship you can count on rather than scrambling to find care after something comes up.

Settling In After a PCS Shouldn't Mean Guessing on Vet Care

The American Veterinary Medical Association notes that catching a problem in its early stages generally makes it easier to treat, with less expense and difficulty than waiting until it becomes serious. That’s harder to do when a pet’s medical history is scattered across duty stations, or when a new posting means starting over with a vet who doesn’t know your pet yet.

Our doctors bring board-certified surgical training, in-house imaging and lab work, and a partnership with an outside lab for more extensive testing. For families arriving at Beale, establishing that relationship early means your pet’s next move doesn’t have to mean starting from zero again.

What Beale Families Need From a Civilian Vet

Whether you’re new to Beale or have been in the area for years, a civilian vet needs to cover what the on-base facility doesn’t. Common needs our team handles directly include:

  • Emergency and urgent care for pets that aren’t eligible for on-base treatment, or need more than preventative medicine.
  • Board-certified surgical care, including orthopedic procedures, done in-house rather than referred out.
  • In-house bloodwork and imaging, with an outside lab partnership for more extensive testing.
  • Wellness exams, vaccinations, and dental care for pets not enrolled in on-base services.
  • Continuity of care for families relocating into or out of the area.

Establishing this relationship before you need it is what keeps a PCS from becoming a gap in your pet’s care.

What Board Certification Means for Your Pet's Care

Dr. Erin Paster is a PennHIP postdoctoral fellow who ran the PennHIP clinic at the University of Pennsylvania, worked with dog breeders on hip and joint screening, and has performed a large number of PennHIP evaluations over her career. That background means joint and orthopedic surgery, along with hip dysplasia screening for puppies as young as 16 weeks, happens in-house rather than through a referral elsewhere.

For pets further along in life, our senior pet care program uses that same in-house imaging and lab work to track changes over time, so a permanent change of station doesn’t have to mean starting your pet’s medical history over from scratch.
