About Us
Meet the veterinarians who treat your dogs, cats, and pets like beloved family members
Our Story
OC Vet Animal Hospital was founded by Dr. Ashvin Dhankhar and Dr. Jyoti Dhankhar with a simple yet powerful mission: to provide exceptional veterinary care for dogs, cats, and all pets rooted in compassion, integrity, and medical excellence.
As dedicated veterinarians and co-founders, we combined our expertise and passion for animal welfare to create a vet clinic where every pet receives personalized, comprehensive care. We're excited to serve Laguna Woods and pet families from Irvine, Lake Forest, Laguna Hills, Mission Viejo, and Aliso Viejo.
Our veterinarians have built a practice that treats every dog, cat, and pet like family. Their hands-on approach ensures that your beloved companions receive the attention, expertise, and gentle care they deserve.
Today, we continue to uphold that founding vision—delivering world-class veterinary medicine with a personal touch that makes all the difference for you and your pets.
