About Us
At Slaton Veterinary Hospital, we are dedicated to providing exceptional veterinary care to the pets of Thousand Oaks and surrounding areas. Our mission is to ensure the health and happiness of every furry companion that walks through our doors. We believe that every pet is unique, and we tailor our care plans to meet the specific needs of each animal.
Our journey began with Dr. Daniel Slaton, who has been passionate about animals since his childhood. Growing up in Ventura, California, Dr. Slaton always knew he wanted to be a veterinarian. He excelled in swimming and water polo in high school and went on to attend the University of California, Irvine, where he majored in Biology and minored in Management. After graduating in 1999, Dr. Slaton pursued his dream by attending Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine in the Caribbean. He completed his clinical rotation at Washington State University Vet School and graduated in 2003.
With over 20 years of experience in veterinary medicine, Dr. Slaton has honed his skills in orthopedic and soft tissue surgery. He has a reputation for his compassion and expertise, which has earned him a strong reputation in the community. After working at various veterinary clinics, including Westlake Village Animal Hospital and The Barkley Pet Hotel, Dr. Slaton returned to the Conejo Valley to open Slaton Veterinary Hospital in 2023.
Our clinic is equipped with the latest technology and state-of-the-art facilities designed to provide a comfortable and efficient environment for both pets and their owners. We offer a wide range of services to address all aspects of your pet's health, including:
