All loving pet owners want the best care for their loyal companions, because pets are more than just animals. They're family, and at Live Oak Veterinary Hospital, that's exactly how we treat them. We offer a wide range of veterinary services for all of your canine and feline family members to keep them happy and healthy. Our East Sonora animal hospital proudly welcomes dogs and cats of the Mother Lode/Tuolumne County area, as well as Calaveras and Mariposa Counties. Whether you're local, new to the area, vacationing, just recently added a new pet to your home, or if you only speak Spanish (Dr. Luce is fluent in Spanish!), we would love to be your pet's veterinarian. If you want the best for your pet, come to Live Oak Vet!

Mission
We know how special the bond is between a pet and its owner, and part of our mission as a practice is to nurture that bond. That's why our doctors and support staff gladly welcome all pets and owners who come through our doors, treating them with compassion and professionalism. We take pride in the warm, inviting atmosphere of our pet hospital and strive to make our patients as comfortable as possible while they're in our care. Because we know that no two pets are exactly alike, we personalize our services to meet your pet's specific needs while ensuring that the services align with your wishes as well.
