At Stonebridge Veterinary Wellness, our veterinary clinic near West Sacramento, CA provides compassionate, comprehensive pet care focused on your companion’s health, comfort, and well-being.
West Sacramento already has real veterinary depth. Long-established practices, a clinic with a board-certified clinical pathologist on staff, and visiting specialists available on request mean that West Sacramento pet owners are not lacking for options or expertise.
Stonebridge Veterinary Wellness is a drive from West Sacramento via the Hwy 50 corridor, and brings something more specific: in-house board-certified surgical training from Dr. Erin Paster, who is a PennHIP postdoctoral fellow, along with in-house imaging, lab work, and an outside lab partnership for more extensive testing. For West Sacramento pet owners seeking PennHIP screening specifically, or a second surgical opinion, that combination is harder to find in the immediate area.
West Sacramento’s existing practices include strong diagnostic capability and visiting specialists, but PennHIP screening specifically requires a surgeon with postdoctoral PennHIP training, and that’s less common than general surgical capability. PennHIP is the most sensitive method for measuring hip laxity in dogs and assessing dysplasia risk, and without a PennHIP-certified surgeon, it simply isn’t available.
Dr. Paster is one of a relatively small number of practitioners in Northern California with that specific credential. For West Sacramento families with breeds predisposed to hip dysplasia, or who want a proactive baseline established before symptoms emerge, the Hwy 50 drive to Roseville is a straightforward option that may not be available locally.
West Sacramento commuters who work in or pass through the Roseville corridor already know the Hwy 50 drive. For pet care that consolidates surgery, diagnostics, and follow-up under one practice, that commute route also works for a vet appointment, especially when the visit involves a procedure that benefits from a follow-up at the same location.
The American Veterinary Medical Association emphasizes the value of catching conditions early, and a consolidated practice makes the follow-through easier. For West Sacramento families already managing a busy schedule, having one trusted team handling everything from the initial exam through any surgical follow-up reduces friction at every step.
West Sacramento families who make the drive to Stonebridge most often do so for one of the following:
Each of these is something our Roseville location handles directly, without the hand-off that typically follows a referral.
PennHIP is a specific diagnostic protocol for measuring hip laxity in dogs, and it requires postdoctoral training to perform correctly. Dr. Erin Paster completed her postdoctoral fellowship in PennHIP methodology at the University of Pennsylvania, where she ran the PennHIP clinic and worked extensively with dog breeders on hip and joint screening. That training is what makes PennHIP available at Stonebridge from 16 weeks forward, and what makes the screening results meaningful rather than approximate.
Combined with board-certified orthopedic surgery and in-house imaging, that depth allows us to screen, diagnose, and treat hip and joint conditions without the multiple-practice handoffs that often come with a referral chain.
Our veterinary team has spent more than 20 years building relationships with pet families throughout the region, and we know West Sacramento already has capable practices nearby. What we offer is a specific set of things those practices generally don’t have in-house: board-certified orthopedic surgery, PennHIP screening from a postdoctoral-trained surgeon, and consolidated diagnostic infrastructure that handles from first exam through surgical follow-up.
For West Sacramento pet owners who’ve been referred out before, or who want PennHIP screening that’s actually performed by the right credentials, 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.
