A lifelong dream for Dr. Ashley McCaughan has finally become a reality - Marina Village Veterinary opens its doors February 2018 as Alameda's FIRST HOLISTIC veterinary hospital!

Dr. McCaughan gains great personal satisfaction from helping our companions live longer and often happier lives. Most recently, she completed a course in advanced dental procedures, so feel free to ask her about how to improve upon your pet's dental hygiene for fresh, happy mouths!
