Welcome to Santa Cruz Veterinary Clinic

Santa Cruz Veterinary Clinic opened its doors in the Del Monte Center on 12th Avenue in 1981 by Dr. Roco Mele. Dr. Mele is still in practice on the East Side of Town and his practice now focuses on advanced dental care for pets. Dr. Dan Riley took over the practice in December 1986 and practiced successfully until 2013, when he announced intentions to start

retirement and sold to Dr. Neal as of January 1, 2013. Dr. Neal hopes to continue the tradition of affordable vet care and offering affordable surgical options. Dr. Neal’s passion is in affordable spay/neuter and basic wellness services to all animals and Santa Cruz Vet Clinic is the best place to continue this tradition!
