VCA Bay Area Animal Hospital is a pet groomer in Oakland, California. It is listed at 4501 Shattuck Ave., Oakland, CA 94609, which places it among the local businesses of Oakland that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as animal hospital, veterinarian, so it may cover more than the name suggests.
In Oakland, price depends on breed, size, coat condition and temperament: small short-coated dogs cost least, while doodles, poodles and double-coated breeds take longer and cost more, and matting adds a dematting fee. Ask whether the groomer is certified, how dogs are dried (cage dryers versus hand drying), whether rabies vaccination proof is required in California, and how long your pet will stay. Most dogs need a groom every four to eight weeks. Saturdays and the weeks before holidays book up first, so schedule ahead and check the listing for hours, phone number and Google rating.
Hours are published for 7 days a week. On most of those days it is open 8 am–9 pm. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. You can reach VCA Bay Area Animal Hospital at (510) 654-8375; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions. Its website is vcahospitals.com, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.
Its Google rating is 4.0 out of 5 from 383 reviews, a solid but mixed picture; reading the most recent reviews will tell you what to expect.
Oakland is in California, on the West Coast, where the climate ranges from foggy coast to hot inland valleys, wildfire season can affect air quality in late summer, and traffic is the main thing to plan around. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Oakland follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

This is my first time coming to VCA. The environment was nice, they separate the dogs, cats, and exotics section in the waiting room. The exam room was perfect for my rabbit. I like that they do the exam on the ground as oppose to high up. My rabbit wasn't anxious at all, however, he does not like being handled. Dr. Chung and the vet tech, Dylan, was pretty gentle with him despite his feisty resistance. I did use the first time free exam certificate from the adoption center, but forgot the paper. However they were understanding, and I was able to email it to them post-appointment. Overall, I'm glad my rabbit is healthy and the exam went smoothly! In terms of price point, I am quite shocked by the price of the exam and treatments especially the vaccines! Oh my goodness! My go-to vet clinic has low cost vaccines for 2 doses, while VCA charges $88 PER DOSE. Suffice to say, I will stick to my usual vet clinic. Thank you, VCA!

Absolute best animal care around. I love this hospital. They're staff provide above and beyond service. They have exceptional communication and always provide kind and thoughtful care to the furbabies. They compassionately explain every procedure and recommendation. They do such a great job with follow up care and providing care plan services. This is the best VCA around. Highly recommend.

Came here because it was rated higher than the other VCA facilities. Coming from another VCA in a nice city, I thought, how could it be better?? To my surprise, the Vets (Doctors) here are amazing. The follow up is on point and the care is real. Came here for an annual check up, some bloodwork, dental and ear check. Same ear check that they did where I came, but the difference was night and day - more thorough, more care for my pet, and much better treatment with the goal of resolving the issue. No matter where I live in the bay area, I'd definitely make and keep this as my vet of choice. Side note, VCA care plans are only good at the VCA you sign up for. If I had to rate the VCA plan on that, I'd give it a 2 star. What's the point of having a VCA network if the plan you sign up for doesn't cover you at ALL VCA locations?? 5 star for this hospital, but 2 stars for VCA network.

I happened to get a few first visit and coincidentally my little Affenpinscher the next day was attacked by a pitbull. The vet here was fantastic and she did everything possible to keep the bill reasonable, even using samples where possible for meds. I highly recommend.
