About Us
Groveway Pet Hospital has been a pillar of the Castro Valley community for over half a century. Our hospital was established by the late Dr. Russ Hackler in the 1970s on the foundation of compassionate care, community involvement, and the desire to help both pets and their owners. We are dedicated to providing the highest level of care possible for your pet, combining compassion with the latest in veterinary technology.
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 their lifetime. Our team is committed to managing your pet’s care here at our facility, solving most ailments in-house, which saves time and, most importantly, potentially your pet’s life.
Our team immerses itself in the wider Castro Valley community and is proud to support organizations like Muttville Senior Dog Rescue. The people and the pets of the Bay Area are our passion. Our tight-knit team comes to work every day to provide the best care possible for your furry companions and family members.
At Groveway Pet Hospital, our team is our greatest asset. Our friendly and helpful Client Service Representatives are the advocates for our clients, while our technical team provides nursing care to our patients. Our highly educated veterinarians use their vast medical knowledge and passion for pets to help everyone who walks through our doors. We embrace high standards of clinical care, and your furry friends benefit from it.
We are proud to be AAHA accredited, which means our hospital has been evaluated on over 900 standards of veterinary excellence. To maintain this accreditation, hospitals undergo a rigorous review by veterinary experts every three years. Your pets are our passion, and keeping them happy and healthy is our top priority.
We strive to make every visit as gentle, pain-free, and stress-free as possible for your pets. Many of our hospital team members are Fear Free Certified, which means they have completed a comprehensive educational course and exam to ensure the best experience for your pet. We are committed to providing top-quality care and ensuring your pet receives the best possible treatment.
