At Stonebridge Veterinary Wellness, our veterinary clinic near Elk Grove, CA provides compassionate, comprehensive pet care built around families with multiple pets and pets at every life stage.
Elk Grove is one of the fastest-growing, most diverse suburban cities in the Sacramento region, and its household makeup shows it. Master-planned neighborhoods across the city are full of young and multi-generational families, and it is common for one household to be raising two or three pets at once, a puppy, a middle-aged dog, and an aging cat, all under one roof at different life stages. Elk Grove pet owners also have no shortage of nearby veterinary options; the city is home to several established neighborhood animal hospitals.
Stonebridge Veterinary Wellness is a drive from Elk Grove, and what brings families past those closer options is depth of care: board-certified surgical training, an integrative medicine practitioner, and a dedicated pain management specialist, all on the same team. For households managing several pets across different ages and needs at once, that range means fewer separate specialists to track down and coordinate with.
A single Elk Grove household might need a wellness visit for a new puppy, dental care for a middle-aged dog, and ongoing pain management for a senior cat, sometimes within the same month. Coordinating that across separate specialty clinics adds one more thing to juggle for families already managing school schedules, work, and multiple pets.
At Stonebridge Veterinary Wellness, Dr. Christina Venable’s pain management expertise and Dr. Arlene McKinstry’s integrative medicine background mean chronic conditions, mobility issues, and complex cases are handled by doctors who already know your pet’s full history, not a rotating cast of outside referrals.
Elk Grove’s population has grown rapidly over the past two decades, and many families who moved in with young children and a first puppy are now navigating aging pets, second pets, and everything in between. Our doctors have built the practice around exactly that arc: board-certified surgeon Dr. Erin Paster, a PennHIP postdoctoral fellow who ran the PennHIP clinic at the University of Pennsylvania, handles orthopedic and soft-tissue surgery in-house, while our team also manages routine wellness, vaccines, and preventive care for every pet in a household at once.
Families do not have to choose which pet gets the closer, more general option and which gets the specialist. Everyone gets the same standard of care.
Elk Grove families come to Stonebridge Veterinary Wellness for:
Cats and dogs of every breed and background are welcome; Elk Grove’s own household diversity is something we see reflected in our patients every week.
Elk Grove has several neighborhood veterinary clinics of its own, and general wellness care close to home makes sense for plenty of visits. But when a pet needs something more, an orthopedic surgery consult, a complex pain management plan, or an integrative approach for a chronic condition, families often find that the closest option refers out to a specialty clinic anyway.
At Stonebridge, that referral step often is not necessary. Dr. Paster’s surgical training, Dr. Venable’s pain management focus, and Dr. McKinstry’s integrative medicine background mean more of the harder cases get handled by a team that already knows the pet, without an extra handoff to a new practice and a new set of doctors.
Our veterinary team has spent more than 20 years building relationships with pet families throughout the greater Sacramento region, including many from Elk Grove who wanted a practice that could grow with their pets rather than just treat what is in front of them that day. Our doctors bring board-certified surgical training, integrative medicine expertise, and dedicated pain management, all under one roof, which matters most for households managing more than one pet at more than one life stage.
If you are looking for a veterinary clinic near Elk Grove that can handle both the everyday wellness visit and the harder cases without a referral, we encourage you to contact our office and speak with one of our doctors. The Stonebridge Veterinary Wellness team is ready to meet your pet.
Yes. Many Elk Grove households bring in multiple pets across different life stages, from a new puppy to a senior cat, and our team is built for exactly that: wellness care, vaccines, dental care, senior care, and specialty services like surgery, pain management, and integrative medicine, all coordinated by doctors who know your whole household.
Many Elk Grove pet owners start at a neighborhood clinic for routine wellness care, but come to Stonebridge when a pet needs board-certified surgery, pain management, or integrative medicine, care that is often referred out elsewhere. Having all three under one roof means fewer handoffs and a team that already knows your pet.
Orthopedic and soft-tissue surgery is performed in-house by our board-certified surgeon, Dr. Erin Paster, who is also a PennHIP postdoctoral fellow. Elk Grove pets generally do not need a separate referral for surgical care.
