About Del Paso Veterinary Clinic — Your Sacramento Veterinarian
Trusted Veterinary Care in Sacramento Since 1940
Our Story
For over 80 years, Del Paso Veterinary Clinic has been a cornerstone of veterinary care in Sacramento. Since opening our doors in 1940, we’ve had the privilege of caring for generations of pets and the families who love them.
Our current building, established in 1983, has served the Del Paso Heights community and surrounding Sacramento neighborhoods for over four decades. Under the leadership of Dr. Khabra, we continue that legacy with an unwavering commitment to compassionate, personalized care.
We believe every pet deserves high-quality veterinary medicine — and every family deserves a veterinary team that truly cares. It’s why Sacramento pet owners consistently choose us as one of the best veterinarians in Sacramento for their dogs and cats. That’s why we’ve built our practice around accessibility, expertise, and the kind of personal attention that only a small, dedicated practice can provide.
When your pet needs care — whether it’s a routine wellness exam or same-day urgent care — we’re here. Explore our full range of veterinary services in Sacramento to see how we can help your pet. Because when your pet isn’t feeling well, waiting shouldn’t be necessary.
Our Mission
We’re here when you need us. No long waits for same-day urgent care. No impersonal treatment. Just quality care for your pet, delivered with the expertise and kindness your family deserves.
Dr. Khabra’s expertise extends across the full spectrum of veterinary medicine, from preventive care to complex surgical procedures including orthopedic surgery performed in-house — procedures many clinics refer out to specialists.
Our Team
While Dr. Khabra is the sole veterinarian at Del Paso Veterinary Clinic, he's supported by a dedicated team of 3-4 skilled veterinary technicians and assistants, plus 1-2 friendly administrative staff members who ensure every visit runs smoothly. Our team is multilingual (English, Spanish, Punjabi, Hindi) and committed to providing the same compassionate, personalized care that has defined Del Paso Veterinary Clinic for over 80 years. Together, we work as a family to make sure your pet receives exceptional care in a welcoming, stress-free environment.

When he’s not caring for patients, Dr. Khabra remains deeply committed to animal welfare and the Sacramento community. His multilingual abilities (English, Punjabi, and Hindi) allow him to connect with and serve the diverse families who call Sacramento home.
Areas of Expertise
Dr. Khabra’s clinical expertise spans a wide range of veterinary medicine:
- General Practice — Comprehensive care for dogs and cats at every life stage
- Surgery — Soft tissue, orthopedic, and emergency procedures performed in-house

A Lifelong Passion for Animals
Dr. Khabra’s journey to veterinary medicine began in Punjab, India, where he grew up in a farming family surrounded by animals. From an early age, he developed a deep passion for animal welfare — a passion that would shape his entire career.
“I was born into a family of farmers, surrounded by pets as a child,” Dr. Khabra recalls. “That early connection with animals, combined with my love for science and medicine, inspired me to dedicate my life to improving animal welfare.”
That dedication drives everything Dr. Khabra does. Whether he’s performing a complex surgery, diagnosing a difficult case, or providing a routine wellness exam, he treats every pet with the same care and compassion he’d want for his own.
Philosophy of Care
Dr. Khabra’s approach to veterinary medicine is rooted in three core principles:
Compassion — Every pet deserves to be treated with kindness, patience, and respect. Fear-free handling and pain management are priorities in every visit.
Integrity — Honest, transparent communication with pet owners. Dr. Khabra takes the time to explain diagnoses, treatment options, and costs so families can make informed decisions.
Science — Evidence-based medicine guided by continuing education and the latest veterinary research. Every treatment plan is tailored to the individual pet’s needs.
“To deliver exceptional, individualized, and ethical veterinary care guided by compassion, integrity, and science — that’s not just a mission statement,” says Dr. Khabra. “It’s how I approach every single patient, every single day.”
