Our Work In The Community

Southwest Veterinary Hospital takes pride in providing care to the hardworking canines of local law enforcement departments. These include: Bakersfield Police Department, Kern County Sheriff's Department, Kern Valley State Prison, and the Bakersfield Probation Department. Additionally, our own Dr. Rose Rakow is Board President of Bakersfield SPCA and an adjunct professor of the Technician Program at Bakersfield College.

We proudly support a number of local efforts, such as countywide rabies clinics; Bakersfield SPCA, Animal Care Center, and Animal Control; Kern County's Humane Society, Animal Shelter, Animal Control and Friends of Kern County; the Wasco Animal Shelter; The Cat People; and Alpha K9 Sanctuary.
