Sometimes our pets need veterinary care or procedures that go beyond the scope of regular preventive and diagnostic services. If your pet requires specialized or advanced medical attention, the team at Vetama is here to help.

When your pet needs advanced care, we can bring high-quality specialty services exclusively to Vetama clients. In the familiar setting of our in-clinic location in San Luis Obispo, we can partner with a number of board-certified specialists and other consultants to offer advanced cardiology, oncology, and surgery services. These specialty providers will work hands-on with the Vetama team to help your pet receive the best possible care within our practice.
