Veterinary Care That Comes To You!

The future of veterinary care isn’t just coming—it’s here. From smart collars to AI-powered diagnostics, pet tech is evolving rapidly, and 2026 is shaping up to be a breakout year for innovation. At Shiloh Veterinary Hospital, we’ve always believed that advanced care doesn’t have to happen in a sterile exam room. As a mobile practice serving Los Angeles and beyond, we’re excited about how new tools can make veterinary medicine more accessible, more accurate, and more comfortable—for you and your pets.

Let’s take a look at some of the most promising technology trends in veterinary medicine and how they may transform the way we care for your furry, feathered, or scaled companions.

November is National Adopt a Senior Pet Month, and there’s no better time to open your home (and heart) to a seasoned sidekick. Shiloh Veterinary Hospital, a mobile veterinary service serving Los Angeles and San Diego County, comes right to your doorstep, making it even easier to welcome an older pet into your life.

As our pets grow older, we might start to notice some subtle, yet jarring, changes—like joint stiffness and lowered mobility. It can be heartbreaking to watch a formerly springy cat or dog struggle to leap onto the bed. 

The good news is that many older pets can live happy, comfortable lives even after they develop joint pain. The key is for pet parents to know the early signs of joint pain in pets—and take action.

Here’s what the team at Shiloh Veterinary Hospital wants you to know about joint pain and senior pet care. 

When you think of fleas and ticks, you might picture the heat of summer—but don’t let cooler temperatures fool you. At Shiloh Veterinary Hospital, we want pet owners to know that autumn is prime time for parasites. As the weather gets milder, fleas and ticks become even more active, and pose a serious threat to your pet’s health and comfort.

Veterinary care has come a long way, and one of the most exciting changes for pet parents is the growing use of minimally-invasive surgery for pets—especially laparoscopic surgery for cats and dogs. This modern technique is changing the way vets handle common surgeries like spays and neuters, leading to quicker recovery, less pain, and better overall outcomes for pets. At Shiloh Veterinary Hospital, we’re proud to provide this advanced technique for your furry companions.

As they grow older, it’s natural to wonder what more you can do to help them stay healthy, happy, and energetic. That’s where the growing trend of biohacking for pets comes in. But do anti-aging supplements for pets really work? 

Let’s explore the world of pet longevity supplements and whether they’re a smart addition to your pet care toolkit or something better left on the shelf.

It’s just a fact that sunshine is ubiquitous in southern California. While our perfect weather inspires activity and adventure, it’s not always safe for our pets. It’s also crucial to know the warning signs of heatstroke and the ways to stabilize a pet’s rising internal temperature.
