Preventive Care

At Muir Oaks Veterinary Hospital, we believe that dental health is an essential component of your furry companion's overall health.

Vaccination
If not up-to-date, or unable to provide proof of vaccination, I give my permission to update my pet(s) vaccinations in accordance with the above policy. I am also aware it is our hospital policy that an examination by a doctor will be performed prior to administration of any vaccines. (please refer to estimate for prices)
Behavioral Counseling
Pets with behavioral problems can often pose a frustrating challenge for pet owners. However, through behavioral consultations we can correct unwanted behaviors and enrich both your life and your pets' life. To learn more about how behavioral consultations can help your pet, please contact us today at (925) 372-9200.
Nutritional Counseling
Exercise can have many health benefits for your dog. Regular exercise burns calories, reduces appetite, improves muscle tone, increases metabolism, and improves temperature regulation. It can be a valuable contributor to weight loss and maintenance. Exercise can also help stimulate your dog’s mind, thereby preventing boredom and destructive behaviors.
Comprehensive Examination
Your puppy or kitten's first visit will include a complete "nose-to-tail" physical exam. We will be on the lookout for any signs of disease and will make sure that your puppy or kitten is in good health. We will also initiate disease and parasite prevention protocols tailored to your pet's specific needs.

Illness Treatment

Parasites Treatment and Control
Heartworm is a deadly disease that pets can get from infected mosquitos. Because pets are vulnerable to mosquitos year-round, we recommend annual screening and year-round heartworm prevention for all dogs and indoor/outdoor cats.
Behavioral Disorder Treatment
Kittens require a series of several vaccines to protect them from contagious and fatal diseases and viruses. We recommend rabies, feline distemper, leukemia, and feline upper respiratory disease. The feline leukemia vaccine is recommended for all kittens, 1 year-old cats, and cats who are both indoor and outdoor. They will also receive several deworming treatments and stool checks to protect them from intestinal parasites.
Pain Management
When our pets are in pain, so are we. It is an awful feeling to know that your special friend is hurting, especially when there isn't anything you can do to help them. It is our goal to eliminate as much pain as possible and to give these pets a better quality of life.
Vomiting Treatment
Diarrhea Treatment
Upper Respiratory Illness Treatment

Infection Treatment

Leptospirosis Treatment
If you marked yes your pet is at risk for Leptospirosis, a disease transmitted through urine. If your dog is due or at risk can we administer the vaccine?
Parvovirus Infection Treatment
Puppies require a series of several vaccines to protect them from contagious and fatal diseases and viruses. We offer all core vaccines for dogs – rabies, distemper, and parvovirus – as well as all electives vaccines that are administered if the patient has exposure risk – canine influenza, bordetella (kennel cough), lyme disease, and leptospirosis. Rattlesnake vaccines are available for patients considered at risk. Puppies are also evaluated for intestinal parasites with stool samples and routinely administered worming and other parasite preventatives.
Bacterial and Viral Infection Treatment
Our family has been with Dr. Herder for over 30 years. We have had dogs with many different health issues. Dr. Herder never stops trying to find solutions to help our beloved dogs. We recently lost a rescue dog from a problem that he had prior to rescue. Dr. Herder did everything possible to help us give him a longer life. We then rescued another little dog. Max came from out local shelter in Vallejo. He had an ear infection that the veterinarian the shelter used was treating but wasn't working. Dr. Herder took samples and found one ear had a yeast infection and one a bacterial infection. Max's ears are better after Dr. Herder changed the treatment. Over the years it worth the travel from Vallejo to Dr. Herder to get the best care we can for our beloved dogs.
Ear Infection Treatment
Muir Oaks Veterinary Hospital has been taking care of our dogs since 1997 and has always provided top quality care and treatment. Daisy our shepherd-mix and Shasta our golden retriever lived into their 15th years. Mulan our 6 yo rescue terrier-whipet has enjoyed excellent health since her 4th-month of puppyhood. An out of the ordinary situation ocurred while our son's laborador stayed with us for a month. Ginger had an ear infection that had been untreatable by Atlanta vetinarians. Dr Herder at MOVH identified the rare bacteria and provided the ear drops that solved the problem. Needless to say, my wife and I have complete trust in MOVH.

Chronic Condition Treatment

Thyroid Disease Treatment
I have dealt with several Vet's throughout my life and I know not all vets are a like, finding a good one can be challenging. My cat developed hyperthyroidism, a very difficult condition to stabilize. Dr. Herder has been wonderful to work with; she is patient, answers all my questions and has offered alternate treatment plans. She is also cost conscience, I highly recommend her.
Kidney Disease Treatment
Dr. Herder has been the vet for my last 5 cats over the past 20 years. She is quite knowledgeable and has provided the best possible care for each, and in their late years, ensuring their comfort but not prolonging the inevitable. The past 11 months have been particularly difficult. I lost my 2 baby girls (both 18 years) to kidney disease -- the most recent was 3 wks ago. Dr. Herder was gentle with them and helped me thru the experience. I'm grateful she understood my need to be with them. The staff and doctors at Muir Oaks have been comforting and understanding of my grief. Now it's just me and my little boy kitty, who was diagnosed with kidney disease just a couple of months ago. I'm comforted knowing that Dr. Herder is his doctor too.
Periodontal Disease Treatment
Periodontal (gum) disease can lead to tooth loss and affects most cats before they are 3 years old. Bacteria from periodontal disease can spread to affect other organs and cause illness. One of the best ways to help prevent periodontal disease is to brush your cat’s teeth on a regular basis—daily, if he or she will allow it.
Cancer Treatment
My rescue Cocker Spaniel had many health issues, one after another, so we were at Muir Oaks frequently during her lifetime... And she could not have received better (or more loving) care. Dr. Herder often consulted with specialists to determine a particular diagnosis and/or treatment and worked closely with Sage Specialty Hospital for more complicated surgeries... and ultimately for chemotherapy. For those reviews complaining of the high cost, may I suggest pet health insurance (which was literally a [Baby's] lifesaver for me)... and quote the old canard, "You get what you pay for". The very first thing I did with my new rescue Cocker Spaniel was to take her to Muir Oaks for her "new pet" check-up. She can't possibly get better (and more loving) care anywhere.

Poisoning Treatment

Veterinary Surgery
Your pet should rest for the remainder of the day following surgery. Depending on the type of surgery, cage rest may be recommended for several days. If your pet is sent home with prescriptions, please finish all medication to ensure that he remains pain- and infection-free.
Spaying and Neutering
By spaying or neutering your pet, you'll be helping control the pet homelessness crisis. Your furry companion will also enjoy numerous medical and behavioral benefits. We perform these procedures under general anesthesia to ensure your pet is comfortable and free of pain.

Laboratory Services
If your pet is coming in for a routine scheduled surgery, an overnight 12-hour fast prior to the appointment is typically required. Water is okay until drop off. Plan on arriving early that morning for routine blood work and any other necessary diagnostics. When you arrive, a team member will go over the pre-surgical authorization form while also covering important electives for your pet’s comfort and health which will require your approval. This is an ideal time to ask any questions you may have about the procedure and/or recovery. At discharge you will receive thorough discharge instructions regarding post-op medications, what to expect from your pet, and when to return to the clinic for a recheck.
X-Ray
Microchipping
Every year, numerous animals go missing and are never found again. We highly recommend that you consider microchipping your puppy or kitten. This safe procedure will help avoid this tragedy.

General Pet Care

Boarding
Dr. Herder was very personable and knowledgeable. Her assistant, the front desk and pet boarding staff were all very nice and helpful. The facility and the hours are great! The location and accessibility is super for my family.
Senior Pet Care
Your aging furry companion will need a veterinary visit at least twice a year to stay as healthy as possible. That includes a checkup to rule out issues commonly encountered by senior pets. Detecting problems in their early stages will allow for healthier senior years.
