About Our Hospitals

Bixby Animal Hospital and Urgent Care joins Bixby Animal Clinic in Long Beach, Lakewood Pet Vet in Lakewood, and Lincoln Animal Hospital in Cypress as the largest GP/Urgent Care in the South Bay. Besides wellness, sick pet, and walk-in appointments, our Associates perform surgeries on a wide variety of cases. Our facility works hand in hand with board-certified internists, dermatologists, cardiologists, orthopedic surgeons, and criticalists onsite, so we’re able to keep our cases in-house.

We have also made a significant investment in our team members so you can focus on delivering the highest quality medicine. Every Associate is supported by a Doctor’s Assistant in addition to RVTs, Vet Assistants, and Pharmacy Technician, all dedicated to our mission of providing excellent patient outcomes.

Our new hospital has 8 exam rooms, two surgery suites, large doctors’ office, separate dog and cat wards, and is outfitted with all the latest equipment, including:

• Digital full-body radiography and digital dental radiography
