Dr. Peter Lowenthal, DVM

Dr. Peter Lowenthal has been caring for companion animals for more than 40 years. His lifelong passion for veterinary medicine began at the age of five, growing up in a family that loved animals and where becoming a veterinarian seemed like a natural calling.

Dr. Lowenthal earned his undergraduate degree in Biochemistry from SUNY Binghamton in New York before attending Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine. After graduating from Cornell, he moved to California and completed a one-year rotating internship in Small Animal Medicine and Surgery at California Animal Hospital. He subsequently joined Blue Cross Pet Hospital, where he has spent his career caring for generations of dogs and cats.

In 1988, Dr. Lowenthal became a co-owner of Blue Cross Pet Hospital with Dr. James Walters. Throughout his career, his professional interests have centered on small animal internal medicine and critical care. He particularly enjoys the challenge of complex medical cases and the opportunity to work closely with clients to help their pets live longer, healthier lives.

Dr. Lowenthal lives in Studio City with his wife. Outside of veterinary medicine, he enjoys staying active and spending time with family and friends. His interests include pickleball, bicycling, concerts, movies—and, unfortunately, golf.

After more than four decades in veterinary medicine, Dr. Lowenthal remains grateful for the privilege of caring for animals and the families who love them. What began as a dream when he was five years old has become a lifelong career and passion.
