Every responsible pet owner understands the need for proper veterinary care provided by a licensed veterinarian. They also understand the need for watching their pet’s overall health and scheduling appointments as needed throughout the year. An oft overlooked aspect of pet health is dental care. A sore tooth can prevent a dog or cat from eating or exercising, and unlike when dealing with a person who has a toothache, pets are unable to describe the pain they feel.
Vaccination
Vaccinations protect your pet against deadly diseases like rabies, distemper, Parvo, and others. Our process involves understanding your pet’s lifestyle with you so that we can develop an individually tailored vaccine strategy just for your pet. We offer core and non-core vaccines according to the latest veterinary health recommendations to keep your pet healthy. Our veterinarians and staff in Carmel will schedule vaccinations when they are needed to help safeguard your pet’s health.
Nutritional Counseling
Our hospital offers other preventive care services such as flea, tick and heartworm prevention and control, dental care, vaccinations, nutritional counseling, bathing, and spay and neuter procedures, all at fair and reasonable prices.
Comprehensive Examination
Your companion animals are everything to you, and you want them to have the best care possible. At Peninsula Animal Hospital, we want the same thing. What better way to make sure your pets are in the best health than scheduling appointments for a wellness exam. A pet wellness exam is an essential medical check-up that focuses on making sure your pets are in the best health. It is a service we are proud to offer to pets in the Carmel, CA, and surrounding areas.
Truly outstanding animal care! Our Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier started seeing Dr. Sherrill a couple years ago, and Dr. Sherrill is wonderful. Our dog was licking paws, itching and scratching, and getting ear infections. Our previous vet said that it was environmental/seasonal allergies, but Dr. Sherrill thought it was more than that. She stepped us through the process of getting allergy testing done and changing the diet. Now that we know what our dog is allergic to and we've eliminated those things, it's like we have a whole, new happy dog -- no more licking, itching, scratching, or infections. I highly recommend Dr. Sherrill! I also highly recommend the allergy testing -- having that information is critical to solving the issues. The testing is worth every penny!
We are the ONLY veterinarians in this area to offer specific preventive health screening with your pet’s annual exam, for no additional fee ! When indicated as part of their annual exam with us, cats are tested for Feline Leukemia and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, and dogs are tested for Heartworms and three Tick-borne diseases. Each test only requires 2 drops of blood !
Ear Infection Treatment
While enjoying a vacation in Carmel I noticed our 8 yr old miniature labradoodle was scratching at her ear. After closer inspection her ear flap was red with a quite unpleasant odor. I called Peninsula Animal Hosp and was offered an appt within 24 hours. The assistant also provided contact info for a local emergency care facility if her condition worsened. Very thoughtful since I was not from the area.The whole experience from the telephone interaction to the professional outdoor visit with Dr. Cohen (covid year) regarding her history, symptoms and subsequent diagnosis was top notch. But here’s what surprised me the most... Annie had a previous ear infection a couple years ago. My local vet performed an exam, a culture, ear cleanse, diagnosis, prescribed antibiotics and ear wash solution with a fee of $300+. Peninsula applied a common sense approach with an examination and an inner ear medication, total cost $113. It’s always renewing to encounter an ethical caring business. I HIGHLY recommend taking your animal family members to them. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Periodontal Disease Treatment
Common dental problems with pets are two-fold. Immediate physical injuries include broken teeth or jaws, or strained muscles. Such injuries occur normally when a pet is playing, as they don’t always understand their limits when fetching, jumping, or biting at something. The second common dental problem is periodontal disease, caused by a lack of dental hygiene.

Our facility performs a variety of surgeries, including spay and neuter procedures, skin mass removals, dental surgery, and other general surgeries. We have access to orthopedic and soft tissue surgeons should your pet need a more specialized surgery. Our goal with any surgery is to enhance your pet’s quality of life.

Spaying and Neutering
To provide the absolute best care for your pets, you must have them spayed or neutered at the appropriate age.
