We pass the request to the practice and they confirm the exact time with you.29 services, one practice.
20 departments, as the practice describes them.
Cats and dogs board in separate quarters, with individual space and bedding provided; dogs get daily walks and supervised outdoor runs. Pets need not be existing patients but must be vaccinated and flea-free. Drop-off and pick-up in business hours.
Diagnosis and management of heart disease and congestive heart failure. Many heart problems are found on physical exam, with an electrocardiogram (ECG), radiographs and ultrasound used to confirm the diagnosis and cause.
Annual dental evaluations recommended for most pets, more often for seniors and at-risk breeds. Includes deep cleaning under anesthesia, extraction of diseased teeth, antibiotics for infection, and treatment of oral cancer.
Diagnosis and treatment of skin problems including dermatitis, allergies, parasite infestations and skin lumps. Allergy testing and elimination diets are used to isolate a cause; lumps can be removed and examined for cancer.
Diagnostic testing using routine blood work, biopsies, urinalysis, ultrasound imaging and X-rays. An in-house diagnostic laboratory lets a full spectrum of tests be run and results returned quickly, often during the visit.
Year-round flea, tick and heartworm prevention. Several preventive products are carried in-house, and a pet not previously on heartworm preventive needs a heartworm test before starting one.
Grooming from baths to nail trims, provided by the hospital's groomer. If the groomer notices a problem during the visit they can tell a veterinarian so treatment can be given right away.
Screening for inherited conditions and breeding soundness, including von Willebrand's disease, renal dysplasia and hip dysplasia. OFA hip certification and the PennHIP method are both offered; both require general anesthesia.
A fully stocked pharmacy on site for medications, flea, tick and heartworm preventives and prescription diets. Prescriptions are filled on site and logged in the pet's record, and the hospital will also mail prescriptions out.
Diagnosis and treatment of internal disease including diabetes, thyroid issues, anemia, inflammatory bowel disease, kidney failure and respiratory conditions, with hospitalization, surgery and specialist referral if needed.
Non-invasive therapeutic laser for acute and chronic injuries, post-surgical healing and joint pain. Sessions take 5-10 minutes, with most patients seeing effects after 3-5 uses. Used for arthritis, hip dysplasia and soft-tissue trauma.
Microchip implantation as permanent identification, which the hospital recommends even for pets that live entirely indoors.
Advice from the veterinarians and staff on choosing food, based on a pet's age, breed, health conditions and lifestyle.
Pain management for dogs and cats covering acute and chronic pain. Options used include NSAIDs, corticosteroids and opioids for severe pain, selected once the source or type of pain has been identified.
Evaluation of mobility and gait changes in dogs and cats, with radiographs and in-house bloodwork where needed. Treatment may include pain medication, injectable osteoarthritis drugs such as Librela or Solensia, weight management and therapeutic laser.
Comprehensive annual exams covering temperature, skin and coat, lung and cardiac function, internal health, oral hygiene, eyes, ears and demeanor, with separate dog and cat wellness pages. Twice-yearly exams recommended for seniors.
Visits for pets that are ill, injured, managing a chronic condition, or simply not themselves, using the hospital's medical team and on-site diagnostics.
Most routine soft-tissue surgery including spay/neuter, dental, foreign body removal, tumor removal and bladder stone removal; more advanced procedures are referred to a specialist. Technicians provide pain management during and after.
Spaying (ovariohysterectomy) and neutering of cats and dogs, with the veterinarians advising on timing by breed and size. A spay needs 7-10 days of recovery and gets a small green tattoo marking the pet as spayed.
Surgery from routine spay/neuter to exploratory procedures, beginning with a consultation and a review of alternatives. Pets are monitored through the procedure for blood pressure, oxygen levels and heart rate, then moved to a recovery area.

Pet insurance covers the next thing, not this one.
Anything already going on counts as pre-existing from the day a policy starts. That is why the time to look is before the visit that costs, not after it.
Before the bill
A policy started today won’t cover anything already going on. It covers the next thing, and the next thing is usually the expensive one.
