At Stonebridge Veterinary Wellness, our veterinary clinic near Davis, CA provides attentive, full-service pet care for a community that takes animal health seriously, with the accessible, personal experience that everyday veterinary visits call for.
Davis is not a typical college town when it comes to pets. It’s home to the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, ranked the top veterinary program in the country, and that shapes how seriously local families think about animal health. Davis is also the self-proclaimed "Bicycle Capital of America," with more than 50 miles of bike paths and greenbelts woven through the city, so dogs and cats here tend to live active, outdoor-adjacent lives alongside their biking, walking owners.
Stonebridge Veterinary Wellness is a straightforward drive from Davis, about 33 miles west on I-80, and offers the kind of accessible, full-service everyday veterinary care that complements a world-class academic hospital rather than trying to replace it. For routine wellness, dental care, and urgent needs, our team is built to be the vet Davis families see regularly.
The UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine draws pet owners’ attention to veterinary science in a way few other communities experience, and that’s a genuine asset for Davis. But the teaching hospital’s own primary care service describes itself as part of a teaching mission, with student-involved appointments built around a learning process rather than a quick routine visit. That leaves a real gap for the kind of vet most families actually need day to day: a doctor you can get in to see promptly for a wellness exam, a dental cleaning, or a sick-pet visit.
Stonebridge Veterinary Wellness fills that role for Davis pet owners. Our doctors bring board-certified surgical training and in-house imaging and lab work, so most care, from annual checkups to same-day sick visits, happens under one roof, with an outside lab partnership on standby for more extensive testing.
Davis has been ranked the most bike-friendly city in the country, and that culture extends to how people move around with their pets: dog walks and runs along the Davis greenbelts, bike commutes with a dog trotting alongside, and plenty of time outdoors year-round. Active pets generally do well, but they also benefit from consistent weight, joint, and mobility monitoring, and quick access to care when a scrape, limp, or heat-related issue comes up after a long day outside.
Between Dr. Christina Venable’s focus on pain management and Dr. Arlene McKinstry’s integrative medicine approach, our team is equipped to support active dogs and cats through every life stage, not just treat problems after they show up.
Whether your pet needs routine care or something more involved, our team supports Davis families with:
Cats are just as welcome — our cat care program covers the same depth of service.
Puppies and kittens need a different visit cadence than a mature, active adult dog logging miles on the greenbelt, and an aging pet needs something different again. Our senior pet care program uses in-house lab work and imaging to track a pet’s condition over time, so changes in mobility, appetite, or energy get caught early rather than at a crisis point.
If a pet does eventually need a referral-level specialty procedure, our doctors can help coordinate that step too, but for the great majority of visits, care stays local, consistent, and with a team that already knows your pet’s history.
Our veterinary team has spent more than 20 years building relationships with pet families across the region, and we understand that Davis pet owners are informed, engaged, and genuinely invested in their animals’ health. We aim to meet that with board-certified surgical training, in-house diagnostics, and a doctor-and-team relationship that stays consistent visit after visit.
If you’re looking for a veterinary clinic near Davis that offers accessible, full-service primary care alongside proximity to world-class academic resources, we’d welcome the chance to meet your pet.
Stonebridge Veterinary Wellness is located at 254 Gibson Drive in Roseville, CA, about 33 miles west of Davis, roughly a 40-minute drive via I-80. Many Davis pet owners make the trip for the personal, full-service care we provide.
The UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine is a nationally ranked academic and referral hospital, and having it nearby is genuinely valuable for Davis pet owners. Its primary care service, though, is built around student education, so day-to-day visits are structured differently than a typical family vet appointment. Stonebridge fills that everyday role, routine wellness, dental care, and urgent visits with a consistent doctor and team, and can help coordinate a referral if your pet ever needs specialty-level care.
Yes. Our doctors bring board-certified surgical training, and most procedures, including dental care, soft-tissue surgery, and imaging or lab work, are handled directly at our Roseville clinic, with an outside lab partnership available for more extensive testing.
Yes. Active dogs and cats benefit from regular wellness and mobility monitoring, and our team, including Dr. Christina Venable’s pain management focus and Dr. Arlene McKinstry’s integrative medicine approach, can address strain, joint discomfort, or minor injuries that come from an active, outdoor lifestyle.
