Wellness Visits
Our routine wellness exams detect health issues early through comprehensive physical exams, lab work, and diagnostic testing. Annual visits for young pets and bi-annual exams for seniors include blood tests, parasite screening, and personalized health counseling. Early detection helps prevent costly treatments while maintaining optimal pet health through all life stages.
Vaccinations
Core and lifestyle-based vaccination programs protect pets against infectious diseases while safeguarding human family members. Our customized vaccine schedules consider age, breed, and environmental factors. We administer rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and other essential vaccines using safe protocols that minimize adverse reactions while maximizing immune response.
Surgery
Our surgical suite handles routine and complex procedures with advanced monitoring equipment and multiple anesthetic options. Services include spay/neuter operations, soft tissue surgeries, and emergency interventions. Board-certified specialists collaborate with our team for complex cases, ensuring pets receive comprehensive surgical care with personalized recovery plans.
Dentistry
Digital dental radiology and ultrasonic scaling address periodontal disease that threatens both oral and systemic health. Treatments include professional cleanings, tooth extractions, and gingival flap procedures. We educate owners on home care techniques while using advanced imaging to detect hidden dental issues affecting heart, liver, and kidney function.
Pain Management
Multimodal pain control programs combine pharmaceutical treatments, cold laser therapy, and alternative therapies to improve quality of life. Our protocols address post-surgical discomfort, chronic arthritis pain, and cancer-related symptoms through personalized treatment plans developed with rehabilitation specialists and alternative medicine practitioners.

Report
Ardmore Animal Hospital provided excellent care to my dog and the vet had helpful information for my pet in his senior years. She informed of the products available for his flea/tick maintenance. It would be helpful to provide payment information prior to the appointment. The amount was higher than I expected, but other than this, the place is a great place to take your animal for their medical needs.

Our 5yr old German Shepherd had an acute weight loss. The front desk staff was attentive to get our girl in to be seen asap. So far testing has been negative. Everything was explained in detail so that we understood the results and the plan. We have used Ardmore Animal Hospital for over 30 years.

Report
We recently moved to Ardmore, and decided to use this place as our cat's new vet. We are not going back. Our cat Lincoln was quite old, and over the past year or so we had noticed he was drinking a lot more, eating less, and was increasingly lethargic. We expressed these concerns to the technician when we brought Lincoln in for his annual checkup. The hospital's evaluation found that he had lost a couple of pounds but was otherwise in fine health. A stool test performed by the hospital was inconclusive.
Sixteen days later, we woke and found Lincoln in obvious pain, straining to urinate, and peeing

I've used Ardmore Animal Hospital for the last fifteen years and have been happy with the care that all three of my dogs received during that time. Over the years, I've likely had an appointment with every vet and they are all knowledgeable, professional, and caring.

We've taken our dogs here for seven years. Largely, we've been satisfied with the care we've received; however, we have occasionally supplemented their care with Penn Vet when we didn't think Ardmore's recommendations were well informed. When we first started taking our pets here, we had an excellent vet, but he soon left the practice. Since then we've had at least 5 vets, so there's almost no continuity of care! Our only other experience with vets in the area is Penn Vet, and we would choose this as our primary vet if the wait time there were more reliably
