The History of Redwood Veterinary Hospital in Vallejo, CA

Our History

Dr. Richard Schumacher established Redwood Veterinary Hospital in 1978. At that time, the hospital sat on the outskirts of town with the only other business in the area being the auto dealership across the street. In 1987, Drs. Huebner and Fox joined Dr. Schumacher, and they took over ownership of the practice in 1990.

Since 1990, Redwood Veterinary Hospital has grown from a two-doctor, small-group practice to a seven-day-a-week, multi-disciplinary, six-doctor practice. Despite this growth, we have never lost sight of our original mission: to provide the highest quality, most contemporary and compassionate veterinary health care to Vallejo area pets. Some say that these guiding principles are the very reason for our growth and popularity.

Our growth has allowed us to meet the ever-growing demand for modern medical care for animal family members. Some highlights include seven-day-a-week hours and a close relationship with the local emergency/critical care facility in Cordelia. Technologies, such as ultrasound, endoscopy, digital radiology, and on-site internal medicine, surgery, and radiology specialist services, have improved our ability to accurately diagnose illnesses and plan more specific and effective therapies. In recent years, a special focus on multimodal pain management has improved the comfort of our patients as well.

For more than 30 years, Redwood Veterinary Hospital has successfully achieved accreditation by the American Animal Hospital Association. This accreditation requires regular on-site evaluations based on the highest standards in veterinary medicine and puts us in an elite group of only 110 animal hospitals throughout the United States and Canada that have achieved this honor for 25 years or more.

We invite you to review the AAHA Standards, widely considered the benchmark for veterinary excellence and the guidelines for our practice.

The future looks bright for Redwood Veterinary Hospital. If the past is any indication of our potential, we expect to see an ever-growing and vibrant practice that continues to be the standard bearer for quality veterinary medicine in Solano County.

Redwood Veterinary Hospital is committed to excellence in small animal health care.
