Preventive Care

Dental Care
Vaccination
Which vaccinations should your pet have? How often should he or she see the vet? What kinds of parasites do you need to be concerned with? What about protecting your pet from Lyme disease and heartworm? Let the team at Castro Valley Companion Animal Hospital work with you to create a customized plan for your pet.
Comprehensive Examination
According to the American Veterinary Dental Society, 70% of adult cats and 80% of adult dogs show symptoms of oral disease. In addition to dental checks during annual exams, we’ll also want to discuss a teeth cleaning schedule for your pet. We’re proud to offer...

Illness Treatment

Parasites Treatment and Control
Protection is key when it comes to your pet’s health. Fleas and ticks are not only a source of irritation to your pet, but they can also harbor disease and adversely affect your pet’s health. Heartworm is a dangerous parasite that lives in the heart of dogs and cats, damages the heart muscle, and can be fatal. These scary diseases can be prevented with regular prevention.
Pain Management
Dr. Kirsten Krick is a Bay Area native and after graduating from Smith College, she worked and traveled all over the United States. She received her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine cum laude from Colorado State University (CSU) in 2004 and received her acupuncture certification through CSU and the Colorado Veterinary Medical Association that same year. She worked in both private practice and emergency clinics in the San Jose area. Her associations include the California VMA and American VMA, and she regularly attends continuing education seminars to stay at the forefront of veterinary medicine and surgery. Dr. Krick has a special interest in small animal pain management and offers individualized treatment plans blending Western medical options with alternative ones. Outside of work, Dr. Krick enjoys spending time with her family, travels as often as possible, and reads voraciously. She always appreciates book recommendations!
Skin Condition and Allergy Treatment
If your pet is frequently itching, scratching or biting his skin, he may be suffering from an allergy or skin condition. Veterinary dermatology treats common skin conditions and pet allergies, addressing both the underlying cause for your pet’s discomfort as well as providing immediate relief from painful symptoms. Our veterinarians, Dr. Gandolfi, Dr. Bercovitz, and Dr. Harper, all have significant experience treating pet allergies and skin conditions. Our advanced diagnostic tests make it easier for our veterinary dermatology team to precisely identify the skin condition affecting your pet and take immediate steps to relieve your pet’s pain.

Infection Treatment

Bacterial and Viral Infection Treatment
Your pet can suffer from the same seasonal allergies that affect humans. Allergic dermatitis is one of the most common conditions affecting pets. Pollen, mold, ragweed and dust mites may trigger pet allergies. Rather than experiencing watery eyes or congestion, however, pets suffer from itchy skin. Repeated biting and scratching creates irritated, moist skin that is susceptible to secondary bacterial infections. Prompt treatment for pet allergies is essential to relieving a pet’s painful itching symptoms and preventing secondary skin infections or more complex dermatological problems.

Surgery

Dental Surgery
Veterinary Surgery
At Castro Valley Companion Animal Hospital, we maintain a fully equipped, state-of-the-art surgical suite. This allows us to give our patients the same quality of surgical care that we would expect for ourselves. We perform routine, emergency, and advanced surgical procedures using traditional and laser techniques.
Spaying and Neutering
Dr. Gandolfi is one of the founders of Fix Our Ferals, an all-volunteer spay and neuter clinic for homeless cats, and served as it’s Veterinary Director for over 12 years. He taught the critical care course for the RVT Program at Western Career College and sat on the College’s Advisory Board. He also conceived and acted as Veterinary Director of the 1991 Oakland Firestorm Lost Pet Hotline. Before becoming a veterinarian, he taught high school Chemistry, Astronomy, and Algebra.

Lab and X-Rays

Laboratory Services
Quicker diagnosis means quicker treatment. Our state-of-the-art laboratory allows our team to perform tests like complete blood chemistry (CBC), coagulation profiles, urinalysis, Lyme disease, and heartworm tests.
Dental Radiology
Microchipping
According to PetFinder, over 10 million pets go missing every year, and one in three pets will go missing at some point in their life. A microchip is a tiny device which contains unique identifying information about a pet. It is approximately the size of a grain of rice contains a code that corresponds to the contact information of the pet cat or dog’s owner. This allows missing cats and dogs to be returned to their rightful home as quickly as possible.

General Pet Care

Senior Pet Care
Once a year, or every 6 months for senior pets, you should take your pet in for a check-up. This will include a full physical exam, and may include teeth and gum cleaning if needed. Dr. Rene Gandolfi or Dr. Kim Bercovitz will check the health of your pet from head to tail, making sure to examine eyes, nose, ears, mouth, paws and limbs, and internal organs.
