A Family Owned Animal Hospital in Ventura

101 Pet Vet is owned and run by Dr. Chris Spence and his wife Amy, who took over the hospital on South Victoria Avenue in June 2020 and rebranded it around its location just off the 101 Freeway. It has been a family practice ever since, and it is run the way a family practice should be: you see the same faces, and the veterinarian who examined your pet is the one who calls you back.

Practical Veterinary Care is what we promise pet parents in Ventura. Your dog or cat gets a real exam, you get a plain explanation of what we found and what it costs, and together we build a wellness plan that fits your family.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The entire team at 101 Pet Vet took amazing care of our senior dog, Truck, during his recent mouth surgery! Dr. Spence was incredibly thorough, keeping me well-informed of the risks due to Truck's age and health history. They even updated me during the procedure. Dr. Spence worked efficiently to minimize anesthesia time, which I truly appreciated. Truckie is recovering beautifully and is almost back to his old self! Highly recommend. Thanks Everyone!

Dr. Spence is down to earth and has such a great bedside manner. Unlike other Vets, he does not try to over-bill, order unnecessary tests or procedures or over-medicate. Very communicative and reassuring.

His office calls the day after I bring my dog in to see how my dog is doing.

Preventative Care

A yearly wellness exam gives us a baseline for your pet’s weight, teeth, heart and joints. When something shifts the following year we see it early, while it is still simple to treat.

Dental Care

Dental disease starts under the gumline and travels to the heart, liver and kidneys. We check every mouth at the exam and treat the tartar, broken teeth and infected gums we find.

Vaccinations

Pets around Ventura meet other animals at the park, the beach and the groomer. We set a vaccine schedule around your pet’s age and where it actually spends its time.

Microchipping

A microchip is how a pet that slips out of the yard gets home again. It goes in during a normal visit and stays with your dog or cat for life.
