Our team combines advanced veterinary expertise with personalized attention in a peaceful setting – making the scenic drive from Shingle Springs a worthwhile journey for your cherished companion.
Living in the beautiful Shingle Springs area comes with countless benefits, but finding exceptional veterinary care that addresses the unique needs of all pet species shouldn't require compromising on quality. At Murieta Pet Hospital, we've created a veterinary destination that Shingle Springs pet families find worth the drive to our Rancho Murieta location. Here, specialized medical expertise meets genuine compassion in a setting designed specifically to reduce stress and promote healing.
Stepping into Murieta Pet Hospital reveals immediately that we’re not your typical veterinary practice. The peaceful atmosphere, thoughtfully designed spaces, and genuinely warm welcome create an environment where both Shingle Springs pets and their people can relax. This difference stems from our fundamental philosophy: exceptional veterinary medicine requires addressing both the physical condition and the emotional experience of every patient.
While our physical location sits in Rancho Murieta, our practice serves as a regional veterinary resource for discerning pet owners throughout El Dorado County. The drive from Shingle Springs takes you through some of California’s most beautiful landscapes – and leads to a veterinary experience that many clients tell us is absolutely worth the journey. Rather than simply treating symptoms, our team takes time to understand your pet’s complete health picture, your specific concerns, and your goals for their care.
What makes our practice particularly valuable for Shingle Springs residents is our unique combination of specialized expertise. Dr. Tyler Baum brings focused knowledge in avian and exotic medicine – areas where many general practices have limited experience. Similarly, Dr. Pietro Catini’s advanced skills in soft tissue surgery and dental procedures mean your companion benefits from specialized care without the need for referrals to distant specialty centers. This comprehensive approach transforms necessary healthcare into a more streamlined, less stressful experience for everyone involved.
The new Murieta Pet Hospital is open, and I took my dog there this week for a Covid-overdue checkup. The staff was friendly and very knowledgeable. The vet was meticulous in his exam, and explained their SOPs very well. I am impressed with their professionalism and their care of my furry guy. I highly recommend!
- Cynthia MOur first visit and it was great! Everyone was so kind. Dr. P was amazing with our Bentley. He was loving, kind and thorough. So glad they’re here!
- Karen M.I cannot recommend Dr.Sam and his staff more than I already do. They’re all so amazing. I don’t trust too many people with my dog Beau and Beau doesn’t love many people. Going here, he gets along with all the staff and they truly do feel like family. I can really feel the love they all have for their job. Beau and I leave happy every time we see the vet. Thank you Dr. Sam and staff!!
- Cailey C.We were not clients of Murieta Pet Hospital at the time of our pet’s unexpected and numerous vomiting episodes of blood, etc.early one morning this week. We called MPH and left a message at 7:00AM and rec’d a call back shortly saying we could bring Henry in at 9:30AM. Dr. Pietro resolved the issue within the hour. The charges were reasonable, the advice and care excellent and the convenience of the location in RM outstanding. Most of all, we appreciated the prompt response, the kindness from the front office, Dr P. himself and, of course, the outcome.
