Dr. Juskaran Ahuja

Veterinarian

Dr. Juskaran Ahuja is a dedicated veterinarian at Sahara Animal Hospital who brings both deep-rooted passion and advanced training to his role. Originally from New Jersey, he earned his veterinary degree from the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine. After practicing in New Jersey for a year, Dr. Ahuja relocated to Southern California to enjoy a warmer climate and be closer to family, continuing a lifelong journey in animal care.

As a second-generation veterinarian and the son of Dr. Manjeet Singh, Dr. Ahuja’s connection to veterinary medicine began early. Having grown up in a veterinary hospital since the age of two, he spent his childhood cuddling patients in the treatment area and observing surgeries from a step stool beside his father. This early immersion shaped his passion for the field and solidified his calling. Today, he finds daily affirmation in his work through the unspoken gratitude of his patients and the joy shared between pets and their owners. He considers it a true privilege to strengthen the human-animal bond and make a meaningful impact on the lives of both.

Dr. Ahuja’s professional interests include dermatology, cardiology, ultrasound, surgery, and hospice care. He is especially passionate about supporting rescue organizations and Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) programs, advocating for animals who lack access to veterinary care and a voice of their own. He is an active member of the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) and the Indian American Veterinary Medical Association (IAVMA). Outside of work, Dr. Ahuja enjoys staying active through hiking, weightlifting, tennis, and dancing to Bhangra music. He also loves to travel and is deeply committed to community service, regularly volunteering with Seva Collective in Santa Ana. Above all, he values spending quality time with his family and friends.
