Best Vet Hospital in Encino for Cats & Dogs

About us

Encino Pet Hospital and Emergency is a full-service, fear-free certified veterinary hospital located at 17324 Ventura Blvd in Encino, California. Led by Medical Director Dr. Ashkan Farahany, the hospital provides compassionate and high-quality care for dogs and cats at every stage of life. The practice is open seven days a week from 7:30 AM to 7:00 PM including every holiday, with same-day urgent care appointments available for pets who need attention quickly. A real person answers every call, with no automated systems or hold queues. The hospital is fully equipped with in-house digital X-ray, abdominal and cardiac ultrasound, a complete blood testing laboratory, dental radiology, and a dedicated surgical suite. Most diagnostic results are available during the same visit, meaning pet owners get clear answers without waiting days for outside lab results. For complex imaging cases, a board-certified radiologist reviews the results and sends a written report back within approximately one hour. Services at Encino Pet Hospital and Emergency cover the full range of veterinary care including wellness exams for puppies, adult pets, and senior animals, vaccinations, dental cleanings and extractions, soft-tissue surgery, diagnostic imaging, senior pet care with biannual monitoring, same-day urgent and emergency care, grooming, and boarding. The practice is fear-free certified, which means every visit is handled using low-stress techniques that keep pets calm and comfortable from arrival through discharge. New patients are always welcome. The hospital serves pet owners across Encino, Sherman Oaks, Tarzana, Studio City, Woodland Hills, Calabasas, and the wider San Fernando Valley. CareCredit and Scratchpay financing are accepted for unexpected costs, and all major pet insurance carriers are welcome.
