Garden Grove residents who bring dogs and cats to the neighborhood clinic now have a larger, modern facility to visit. Garden Grove Dog and Cat Hospital has opened a new 6,715-square-foot location at 10852 Garden Grove Boulevard, the practice announced Monday. The hospital moved next door from a 3,670-square-foot site, expanding its footprint by 83% while retaining the same veterinarians, care team, services, phone number and hours.
More room for exams, treatment and teamwork
The additional space is intended to provide expanded exam and treatment areas and to improve workflow for the hospital’s six veterinarians and support staff. Medical director Dr. Mark Malo said the staff had outgrown the previous building. In a release, he said,
“More space matters in veterinary medicine. We had simply outgrown our previous space. This move gives our doctors and support team more room to work, collaborate and care for patients while keeping the client experience familiar.”
The hospital supplies primary veterinary services including wellness and sick exams, vaccinations, flea and tick prevention, spaying and neutering, and diagnostic testing. It is part of Thrive Pet Healthcare, a national community of veterinary hospitals that markets itself as focusing on medical excellence and technology across more than 360 primary, emergency and specialty hospitals.
Local continuity amid growth
Hospital leadership emphasized continuity of care despite the move. The announcement named the six veterinarians who will continue seeing patients at the new site: Dr. Mark Malo (medical director), Dr. Tracy Menichiello, Dr. Lynne Sanchez, Dr. Christine Eskander, Dr. Brittany Newtown and Dr. Breanne Carey. The hospital said the relocation preserves the same phone number and hours to minimize disruption for clients.

For pet owners in Garden Grove and surrounding communities, the larger facility may reduce wait times, allow for more private exam space and increase capacity for diagnostics and treatment. The hospital did not specify new specialized services beyond its existing primary care offerings in the announcement.
Context and implications for the community
Veterinary clinics in Orange County have faced rising operating costs, demand for expanded services and a need for more clinical space in recent years. The move by Garden Grove Dog and Cat Hospital reflects a local practice responding to growth in demand and trying to maintain continuity of care while upgrading facilities. Being part of a larger corporate network, Thrive Pet Healthcare, may also provide access to broader operational resources and technology, which clinics say can support improved patient care and staffing.
Owners who rely on the hospital for routine care — vaccinations, spay/neuter procedures and diagnostic testing — can expect to continue with familiar providers and schedules. The hospital’s announcement emphasized that phone numbers and hours remain unchanged to limit disruption for clients who already have established relationships with the staff.
The relocation is a reminder of how health and business investments at the neighborhood level can affect everyday services for residents. As Garden Grove continues to grow, local medical providers for people and pets face similar pressures to expand capacity while preserving trusted relationships.
Residents seeking appointments or more details should contact Garden Grove Dog and Cat Hospital directly; the hospital has indicated its phone number and hours remain the same.
