Midtown Animal Health Veterinary Clinic - Santa Cruz

🐾 Locally & privately owned women-led vet clinic | Personal, modern & holistic care for pets in Midtown Santa Cruz. No corporate rules, no pressure.

We started Midtown Animal Health with one simple goal — to bring heart back to veterinary medicine. Just real relationships, honest conversations, and care that feels right for each family. 🩵

Around here, we’re proud to do things differently. We’re locally owned, women-led, and passionate about giving pets the kind of care we’d want for our own. Freedom in medicine means we can truly listen — to our patients, to their people, and to our own instincts as veterinarians. That’s what Midtown Animal Health is all about.

🦷 NEW AT MIDTOWN: Restoris! 🐾

We’re excited to be carrying Restoris™, an innovative addition to our dental care toolbox that may help us save more teeth for our canine patients! 💙

When it comes to dental disease, the damage can go deeper than what we see on the surface. Periodontal disease can cause bone loss around the teeth, leading to mobility and, eventually, tooth loss.

✨ So, what makes Restoris special?

Restoris is a specialized dental gel applied during a professional dental cleaning to help treat periodontal pockets in dogs. Its unique piezoelectric technology stimulates bone-forming cells and helps disrupt bacterial biofilm, with the goal of supporting bone regeneration and improving tooth stability.

🐶 Why are we excited? Because advancing veterinary medicine means continually exploring new ways to improve our patients’ health, comfort, and quality of life.

Restoris isn't appropriate for every tooth or every patient, but for eligible dogs, it offers another tool to help support periodontal health and potentially preserve teeth that might otherwise be extracted.

At Midtown Animal Health, we're always looking for thoughtful, evidence-informed ways to provide the best care possible for your pets. 💙

Have questions about your dog's dental health? We'd love to talk with you!

Happy National Cat Day! Every cat has their own personality, from skittish cuddle bugs to self-anointed royalty that run the house from their cardboard box, but always precious in their own way. That’s part of their charm, isn’t it?��

Just for fun, visit purrjung.org to take their purrrsonality quiz inspired by actual feline personality research! And of course, if you ever have questions about your cat’s health or behavior, give us a call - we’re always happy to help.

October is National Pet Wellness Month and a great reminder to check in on your pet's overall health. Pay special attention to nutrition, exercise, year-round protection, and mental stimulation, as they all play an important role in your pet's well-being. ��

Even if your pet seems fine, everyday activities can expose them to parasites and disease. Year-round protection helps reduce those risks and can prevent more serious health problems down the road. If you'd like personalized guidance for your pet's unique needs, you're always welcome to schedule a wellness visit at our clinic.

This is what fall is really about. 🍂🤍

A gentle giant, a growing family, and a golden October afternoon that nobody wanted to end. Dogs have this incredible way of making every season feel a little more special just by being in it. 🐾

Treat time is also bonding time. 🐱🧡

Did you know that hand feeding your pet occasionally can actually strengthen your bond and build trust, especially with cats who are more reserved?

It also gives you a chance to notice changes in appetite, which can be an early indicator that something is off health wise. 🐾

When you visit your veterinarian, chances are a veterinary technician is there every step of the way. They wear many hats, helping with patient care, treatments, education, and comfort for both pets and their families. This National Veterinary Technician Week, we're shining a spotlight on the skilled, compassionate professionals who make a difference every day.��

Join us in celebrating National Veterinary Technician Week by learning more about the incredible people behind so much of your pet's care, and don't forget to thank your vet tech for all they do. ❤️ 🐾

Autumn was made for dogs and they know it. 🍂🐾

Crisp air, crunchy leaves, and a pup who is absolutely living their best life. Fall walks are genuinely one of the best things about having a dog. They make you get outside even when you'd rather stay in and for that we are eternally grateful. 🧡

What's your favorite thing about fall walks with your dog?
