Services
This Arroyo program aids animals in critical need of medical attention who have no caretakers or who have caretakers with limited funds for veterinary services such as surgery, hospitalization, and medication. Proceeds from many of our classes and events go to support the Good Sam fund. You'll also find donation cups in our reception area.
A seemingly small thing, proper dental care is critical for ensuring the overall health and helping to prolong the life of your dog or cat. In fact, 85-95% of all pets age three and older have significant dental and periodontal disease, which not only is painful and but can lead to life-threatening infections.
Because animals can't tell us how they feel, diagnostic tests give us valuable insight into the health and comfort of your dog or cat. We often recommend them as part of your pet's annual or semi-annual exams as it allows our Sonoma vet team to pick up on small changes early on and provide the best care possible.
Like us, our pets can become ill and require hospitalization for a variety of reasons such as injury, chronic illness or surgery. If it becomes necessary for your dog or cat to stay in our hospital, you can rest assured that your pet will receive a clean and comfortable environment, an accurate diagnosis, pain relief and prevention, regular examinations by our Sonoma veterinarians, prompt treatment, and frequent attention and affection.

Arroyo is absolutely amazing. I have been working with Dr. Hart and Dr. Amaral for several years now and now Dr. Fallon. I am a breeder and words cannot express my gratitude for Arroyo! They always find a way to fit me in and they are extremely thorough in their practices. Because I am a breeder I work with many specialty vets and I must say that Arroyo surpasses them all! All the vets and staff are extremely thoughtful and competent! I HIGHLY recommend Arroyo vet! Love and hugs, Stage Gulch Goldens

Quality of Care ___ Could be better, could be worse. I was told useful information that another vet hadn't suggested. But then I also had to ask that my cat get looked at more thoroughly. She's older and has a variety of health issues, that I was thorough about mentioning prior to my visit. I wasn't given a daily or weekly regimen for my cat's teeth care, just offered an oral injection or told to help her thyroid in preparation for her being able to handle teeth cleaning under anesthesia in a month.
I also wasn't told what food ingredients to look for or to avoid. Just to give kitty what I had been giving her, over the counter senior food, and feed her when she wants to eat. But hyperthyroid cats apparently have different dietary needs, I learned later via research. I did ask about supplements and fish oils were suggested, but my cat won't eat them.
I am still left with unanswered questions. Response Time ___ The front office gets back to you typically within 24 hours via email. The vet took about 1 week via email, then 1 day. But after that, no response. Ease of Communication ___ You can reach them via phone or email. I felt very comfortable speaking to the vet and people in the office. However, my appointment felt rushed and ended up needing a follow-up call.
Prior to my appointment, I was very clear that I had several concerns re: my senior cat's health. Due to Covid-19, I wasn't in the exam room, so speaking with the doctor happened the first time when I was in their parking lot, via phone. I was told that they were running behind. So the other half of my vet appointment happened after my cat was home, later than anticipated due to the vet being busy.
I tried to get the main concerns mentioned in the first call. I did feel overwhelmed, just from all the health issues, and went with the vet's suggestions about what to do that day. Handling Pet ___ My cat didn't seem startled or scared after her visit, so that's good. However due to Covid-19, I wasn't in the office to witness any encounters. This office does see both cats and dogs.
Appointment Availability ___ I had to wait 2 weeks for a cat appointment. They seem extremely busy continuously. Friendliness ___ They seem friendly, kind when you speak with them on the phone. Follow Up Communication ___ This is where things got frustrating, via email. The doctor responded after ~7 days. Then 2 more emails took place after that, but my concerns were not resolved. Topics were mentioned re: diet and oral health but they didn't go anywhere.
I am unsure about what I am supposed to do on a daily or weekly basis. I learned on my own that iodine can be bad for a hyperthyroid cat and that fish foods have iodine, so poultry is better. Also, fillers in dry cat food can aggravate cats with this condition, and it's best to avoid carbohydrates and plant-based protein. Cost ___ The main exam was $56 as opposed to another vet office that was $98.

Took my cat here 10d after an emergency visit to an overnight hospital. I ran through a list of questions and Dr Fallen added a test to diagnose. This was good the follow through was exceptional. She called me twice to talk through the results and recommended solutions specific to my cat to help bring him back to full health. I'm taking my new puppy there next week and look forward to a long relationship with AVH.

I am so thankful for Arroyo Veterinary Hospital! They really saved the day yesterday. Our pup ate some fertilizer and we were frantically looking for a vet open in the area to help with the emergency. Even though they were super busy, and even with quarantine, they were so accommodating and helpful. They helped us RIGHT away. They took precautions to keep everyone safe during quarantine and made me feel comfortable leaving our dog in their hands.
They called us to update us from the car every few minutes, they checked in to inform us of pricing and get permission to perform procedures, and they were so professional. They even called today to check up on our dog and make sure she was doing well. Everyone was exceedingly kind and overall, I was just so grateful they were able to help our pup get through her mishap! Thank you Arroyo Vet!
