Romie Lane Pet Hospital is an AAHA Accredited, full-service veterinary hospital, located in Salinas, CA. Thank you for choosing us for your pet’s veterinary care and well-being.
Our clients and their pets are the reason we continue to thrive in the Salinas community that we have served for over 55 years! Having taken ownership of Romie Lane Pet Hospital in 1987, Dr. James Ponder made the decision to pass the ownership of his beloved hospital to local veterinarian Dr. Heart Dominguez, in June 2020. The professional and courteous staff at Romie Lane Pet Hospital seeks to build on the legacy created by Dr. Ponder and provide the best possible medical, surgical, and dental care for our highly-valued patients and pet parents.
We are equipped to assist you with routine preventive care for young, healthy pets; early detection and treatment of disease as your pet ages; and complete medical and surgical care as necessary during his or her lifetime. We have the ability to manage your pet’s care here at our facility and can solve most ailments in-house which saves time, and most importantly, it can save your pet’s life.
