meet the owner

My name is Alexandra Thornton and I’m a proud Sacramento transplant. This hospital is truly locally owned: I live only minutes away with my husband and kids. We shop at the same stores and see the same people at the same coffee shops. Living and working in this community is truly magical. Nothing gives me greater fulfillment than being able to provide meaningful, quality veterinary care to my neighbors—including you. I am blessed to have an extraordinary team of people who sincerely love and care deeply for animals. I hope that you will come and check us out to see what the Sactown Vet difference looks like. We are real humans caring for you and your pet, and we appreciate your business. Because of you, we can live our dream. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
