What it means to care There’s something special here.
It’s in how we greet you and your pet like long-lost friends. How we’re eager to get down on their level—and ready to go the extra mile. How we listen with empathy and recommend with expertise. How we take the time to discuss your pet’s needs in the greatest detail. And how sometimes we call, just to check in.

Jenn P. I just want to say how much I love Arcata Animal Hospital! You all are so wonderful! The staff is always so sweet, helpful and accommodating. There’s nowhere else I would want to take my pets. I moved from Arcata to Ferndale and still drive to Arcata to bring my pets here. Dr. Joy is just the absolute BEST vet we’ve ever had! We love her!
