ABOUT OUR STAFF

Receptionists & Clinical Staff

The staff of Abbey Pet Hospital takes pride in creating a welcoming  environment. They are knowledgeable, compassionate and take the time to form long-term relationships with pets as well as owners. This provides for deeper knowledge and great empathy for patients with on-going problems.

Kennel Staff

Our Abbey Pet Hospital kennel staff provides a comfortable home away from home with experienced caregivers. Our facility is small and our staff will quickly know your dog or cat by name and give them lots of love and attention. We provide food, fresh blankets and towels along with classical or soft jazz music playing throughout the day to keep our friends calm. You also have the option of 15-20 minute private walks along the El Cerrito Greenway.

Although we do board cats in our facility we recommend the Feline Bed and Breakfast, which is located in the front of our building. The cat-only boarding is much quieter and has a great staff. Please stop by for a tour or check them out online. It’s the purrrrfect boarding facility for your kitty.

For more information, please look at our Boarding page.
