California Pet Hospital is a full-service veterinary facility in Napa that’s been part of the community since 1991, when Dr. Randy Lung opened the practice. Dr. Kellee O’Connell joined as a second veterinarian in 2008, and together they run a clinic focused on keeping dogs healthy through preventative care, surgery, dental work, and diagnostic testing.

If you’re traveling through Napa’s wine country with your dog—whether you’re hiking in nearby parks or spending time along the Napa River—it’s worth knowing about this hospital as a backup. Dogs can get into things they shouldn’t or develop unexpected issues while traveling, and having a reliable vet nearby takes some of the stress out of being away from home.

The staff here actually seem to care about the animals coming through the door. The team creates an environment that helps calm anxious dogs and their owners, which makes a real difference when you’re already worried about your dog’s health. The vets take time to explain what’s going on and what treatment options exist, rather than just rushing through appointments.

One practical advantage for travelers: the hospital can usually fit you in within 1-2 days if something comes up. That matters when you’re on the road and can’t wait a week for an appointment. They handle routine stuff like vaccines and checkups, but they’re also equipped for more complex cases if needed.

The clinic is set up to manage small animals, so your dog will get appropriate care tailored to their size and specific needs. Whether you need a quick nail trim, an annual wellness exam, or something more serious, this is a solid choice in Napa. It’s the kind of place that takes the guesswork out of finding veterinary care while you’re exploring the region. Just call ahead to let them know you’re coming and to confirm their current availability.
