Elevating the Standard of Veterinary Care in Salinas, CA

Our clients and their pets are the reason we continue to thrive in the Salinas community that we have served for over 55 years! Having taken ownership of Romie Lane Pet Hospital in 1987, Dr. James Ponder decided to pass the ownership of his beloved hospital to local veterinarian Dr. Heart Dominguez in June 2020. The professional and courteous staff at Romie Lane Pet Hospital seeks to build on the legacy created by Dr. Ponder and provide the best possible medical, surgical, and dental care for our highly valued patients and pet parents.
