Anicira Los Angeles Location Opening Fall 2026
Anicira is excited to announce the opening of a new veterinary hospital in Los Angeles this fall. Located at 11924 West Washington Boulevard, in Culver City, the hospital will bring Anicira’s model of high-quality, compassionate, and accessible veterinary care to a new community and allow Anicira to help thousands more pets and the families who love them.
The new hospital will offer surgical and dentistry services, providing Los Angeles-area pet parents with access to the same high standards of medicine, compassion, service, and affordability that define Anicira’s model of care. Anticipated opening is late October, 2026.
“We’re thrilled to bring Anicira to Los Angeles,” said Cate Lemmond, Anicira’s CEO and founding president. “We already know there is a need for our services in the area, with clients regularly traveling from Los Angeles to our San Diego hospital for their pets’ surgical and dentistry needs. We’re excited to make that care more accessible to more pets and families who live there.”
Los Angeles is one of the largest companion-animal veterinary markets in the country, and the need for accessible veterinary care is significant. The region has historically experienced high levels of shelter euthanasia, underscoring the importance of making essential veterinary services, including spay/neuter and other preventive and surgical care, more accessible. By helping families access the care their pets need, Anicira hopes to help more pets remain healthy, in their homes and out of shelters.
The Los Angeles launch will also bring an experienced Anicira leader to the new location. Dr. Jasmine Alam (pictured here) will play an important role in launching and growing the new hospital. Dr. Alam practiced full-time at Anicira’s San Diego hospital before relocating to Los Angeles for her spouse’s career. She has remained connected to Anicira through part-time work and brings extensive surgical experience, a deep understanding of Anicira’s culture and a strong commitment to its mission.

“Having Dr. Alam’s leadership is an exciting part of our Los Angeles launch,” Lemmond said. “She knows our team, our approach to medicine and our mission, and her experience will be incredibly valuable as we begin serving the Los Angeles community.”
More information about the new hospital, services and opening plans will be shared on this site in the coming weeks. Media and other inquiries about the new hospital location may be directed to communications@anicira.org in the interim.
