Not all veterinary hospitals are held to the same standard, and that’s where AAHA accreditation comes in.
Petsadena Animal Hospital is proud to be accredited by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), a distinction earned by only 12–15% of veterinary practices across the U.S. and Canada.
What does that actually mean for you and your pet?
It means we’ve chosen to meet (and maintain) the highest standards in veterinary medicine across everything from diagnostic imaging and dentistry to anesthesia safety, pain management, and patient care protocols.
In short:
✅More safety.
✅More precision.
✅More peace of mind.
Because we believe your pet deserves more than “good enough.” 🐾
If you’ve never experienced AAHA-accredited care before, we’d love to show you the difference.

Wait a minute…. 👀 🤪 This is of course a parody.
If your dog isn’t eating their food, please have them checked by a vet. Sudden changes in behavior can be a sign something’s wrong. Some dogs will still take treats when they’re sick, and many mask symptoms at the vet.
We always appreciate vigilant pet parents who take their dog’s health seriously. When in doubt, it’s better to be safe than sorry. ❤️

Acupuncture isn’t just for humans. It’s a clinically recognized treatment that can make a meaningful difference in your pet’s health and comfort.
Rooted in both traditional practice and modern veterinary medicine, acupuncture works by stimulating specific points on the body to activate the nervous system, increase blood flow, and release natural pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory compounds like endorphins. In simple terms, it helps the body heal itself more efficiently.
We often recommend acupuncture for pets experiencing arthritis, mobility issues, injuries, digestive concerns, or anxiety, especially when you start to notice subtle changes in their behavior or energy levels.
It’s safe, low-risk, and surprisingly relaxing. Many pets become so comfortable during treatment that they fall asleep.
While acupuncture is widely used in integrative veterinary medicine, not every hospital offers it. At Petsadena, we’re proud to provide holistic options alongside traditional care to support your pet from every angle.
If you’re curious whether acupuncture could help your pet feel more like themselves again, call us to schedule a consultation with our veterinary acupuncturist at (626) 441-1137.

What you’re seeing here is a dog being treated for diarrhea with a B12 shot. And this isn’t a random injection site. It’s intentional.
The area just above the anus corresponds to an acupuncture point (often referred to as GV-1) that’s commonly used to support the gastrointestinal tract. In traditional Chinese veterinary medicine, this point is associated with regulating intestinal motility, which is why it can be helpful for both diarrhea and constipation.
By placing a Vitamin B12 injection at this location, it prolongs the effect of stimulation on the acupuncture site much longer than just using an acupuncture needle
It may look surprising at first, but it’s a very well tolerated technique. Most dogs, like this one, don’t even react to it.
If your pet is dealing with digestive issues, this can be a simple way to help get things back on track.

At Petsadena, we offer pet Rehabilitation Therapy and underwater treadmill therapy to support mobility, recovery, and overall comfort.
These treatments are a great option for pets healing from surgery, dealing with arthritis, or starting to slow down with age. Canine rehabilitation therapy helps reduce pain, rebuild strength, and improve movement so your pet can get back to feeling like themselves.
Our water treadmill therapy for dogs uses buoyancy and gentle resistance to:
• Take pressure off joints
• Build muscle safely
• Improve flexibility and range of motion
• Support recovery in a low-impact way
Hydrotherapy for pets is especially helpful for senior pets, injured pets, and those with chronic conditions. It allows them to stay active without putting extra stress on their bodies.
If your pet has been struggling with mobility or discomfort, this can make a real difference.

Coming to Petsadena in May - Acupuncture for Pets!
Acupuncture isn’t just for humans. It’s a powerful, time-tested treatment that can make a real difference in your pet’s health and quality of life.
Rooted in traditional Chinese medicine and used for thousands of years, veterinary acupuncture works by placing very fine, gentle needles at specific points in the body. This helps stimulate the nervous system, improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and release natural pain-relieving chemicals.
The goal isn’t just to treat symptoms, but to support the body’s ability to heal and rebalance itself.
We recommend acupuncture for pets dealing with arthritis, joint stiffness, injuries, nerve conditions, digestive issues, and even anxiety. It can be especially helpful for senior pets who are slowing down or pets who need a more natural, low-risk approach to pain management.
One of the biggest surprises for pet owners? Most pets tolerate it extremely well, and many actually relax during treatment… some even fall asleep.
It’s also a more specialized service than many people realize, with under 6% of veterinarians in the U.S. trained in acupuncture.
At Petsadena, we’re proud to offer holistic treatments like acupuncture to help your pet live a longer, healthier, and more comfortable life. If you’ve noticed changes in your pet’s mobility, behavior, or overall comfort, this could be a great option to explore.
