Animal & Bird Hospital

Early detection of health problems can allow for prompt treatment. At least once, and perhaps twice per year, your pet should have a complete physical examination. Remember, an animal's lifespan is shorter than ours and their health can change significantly over a 12-month period. We are committed to providing pets and pet owners with the finest veterinary care possible in our area.

Sometimes the hardest part about choosing an avian veterinarian is simply finding one. Finding an avian veterinarian and establishing a good relationship with him or her are perhaps two of the most beneficial things you can do for your pet bird. Birds' instincts are also different from other pets. Birds mask symptoms to avoid showing signs of weakness to predators.

Animal & Bird Hospital of Del Mar offers nutrition counseling as needed during office visits. Why is this important? Pets are living longer, healthier lives than ever before and a big part of that is due to our expanded knowledge of the importance of proper nutrition to overall health. In fact, nutrition is the biggest health variable controlled by a pet's caregiver.

One of the frustrations of dealing with a sick pet is that you cannot simply ask what is wrong. That is why advanced veterinary diagnostics is important. When your pet is not well, we need to find out what is happening on the inside. Advanced diagnostics help us identify the problem so that we can develop an effective treatment plan.

We are trained, skilled and experienced veterinary surgeons. We approach this aspect of our profession with a deep sense of compassion for all animals. The staff at Animal & Bird Hospital of Del Mar understands that the decision to allow your beloved companion to undergo surgery is never an easy one.
