Why Stockton Families Drive to Tracy

We're not in Stockton. We're 25 minutes south of you in Tracy, and in 2025, over 800 pet owners from Stockton made that drive to see us. Here's why they kept coming back.

Most routine vet procedures in Stockton cost two to three times what we charge. A spay at a standard Stockton clinic typically runs $400–$700. At The Pet Advocate, a cat spay starts at $130 and a dog spay starts at $200. A full dental cleaning at most Stockton practices runs $800–$1,500. Ours is $600 — and that includes pre-anesthetic bloodwork, full-mouth X-rays, scaling, polishing, and fluoride treatment. You can see our full price list on the prices page.

That's the trade. Twenty-five minutes of driving in exchange for a few hundred dollars saved per procedure — and, for many of our Stockton clients, an experience they'd describe as calmer and more personal than what they'd had closer to home.

Getting Here from Stockton

From most of Stockton, the drive to our Tracy clinic is a straight shot south on I-5, about 20–30 minutes depending on the time of day and your starting neighborhood. Morning drop-off traffic is usually light. We're at:

1973 N. Tracy Blvd., Tracy, CA 95376

Clients coming from the West Lane or Weston Ranch areas often report 18–22 minute drives. Clients from north Stockton or Lincoln Village typically plan for 30 minutes. For spay and neuter appointments, we ask that you arrive between 8:00 and 9:00 AM, so allow a buffer for I-5 traffic.

Why We're Not the Right Fit for Everyone

We're not an animal hospital. If your pet is acutely ill, injured, or needs ongoing specialty care, Stockton has excellent options that we'd recommend over us — places like Pacific Veterinary Hospital on E. Fremont Street, or Sierra Veterinary Hospital on Hammer Lane. Call them for anything urgent.

What we do is the routine, planned, preventive work that a healthy pet needs once or twice in their life — fixing them, cleaning their teeth, keeping their shots current. For that, we're built to be the affordable option. Everything else, we'll point you back toward a full-service hospital.
