Why Newport Beach pet owners choose UrbanVet
Choosing a Newport Beach vet is not really a decision about a building. It is a decision about who picks up the phone when your dog stops eating on a Friday afternoon, and whether the person who examines her will still be here next year. UrbanVet was built by two brothers, Dr. Raj Garhwal and Dr. Hersh Garhwal, around exactly that idea: continuity of care, honest pricing, and enough time in the room to actually answer your questions.
We are a general practice with a surgical suite, in house diagnostics and our own pharmacy, which means most of what your pet needs happens under one roof rather than across three referrals. For families in Newport Beach that matters, because it turns a week of appointments into a single visit.
What we treat, and what living here does to pets
Coastal Orange County is easy on people and harder on pets than most owners expect. The mild winter means fleas never fully die off, so year round parasite prevention is not optional here the way it is inland. Summer brings foxtails in the dry canyon edges above Newport Coast, and they migrate into paws, ears and noses fast enough that we see them as urgent visits rather than routine ones.
Pavement and sand hold heat well past the point where a dog will tell you to stop, and paw pad burns from a midday walk along the peninsula are a genuinely common summer presentation. Dogs that swim at the Corona del Mar and Huntington dog beaches swallow salt water, and the resulting gastrointestinal upset is usually mild but occasionally is not. We would rather you called and heard that it can wait than guessed.
Wellness exams, vaccines and parasite prevention on a schedule that fits a coastal climate
Spay and neuter, including ovary sparing spay for owners who want it
Dentistry with full mouth assessment under anesthesia
Soft tissue and orthopedic surgery, including TPLO, TTA, FHO and MPL
In house CT, x-ray, bloodwork and urinalysis, so results come back the same visit
Virtual care for the questions that do not need a car ride
Getting here, and what California asks of you
We are at 1220 Bison Avenue, Unit A7, Newport Beach, CA 92660, in the Bison Business Park, with parking at the door. Most clients reach us in under fifteen minutes from Newport Center, Eastbluff, Big Canyon, Corona del Mar or the University Park side of Irvine.
California law requires every dog four months and older to be vaccinated against rabies and licensed in the county where it lives, and the vaccine must be given after a physical examination. We handle both in the same appointment and give you the certificate you need for Orange County licensing, boarding, grooming and travel. If you have just moved to Newport Beach and your records are with a previous clinic, bring what you have and we will reconstruct the rest.
Searching for a vet near me in Newport Beach?
Most people find us by typing vet near me or veterinarian near me and then working out which of the results actually fits. Here is what fits us: dogs and cats, general practice with real surgical capability, two veterinarians you will actually see again, published prices for routine services, and a location on Bison Avenue with parking at the door.
Here is what does not. We are not a Newport Beach animal hospital open around the clock. Our hours are Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and outside those hours you should go to a dedicated emergency facility. We will tell you which one and make sure your records follow you there.
If you want a veterinarian in Newport Beach for wellness care, dentistry, diagnostics and surgery, with the same faces each time, that is exactly what this practice is built to be. Call (949) 520-7440.
Booking your first visit
New clients are welcome. Call (949) 520-7440, book online, or stop in at 1220 Bison Avenue. Bring any vaccine records you have, and tell us what you want out of the visit so we can plan the time properly.
