Services
Preventative Care
Our preventative care program focuses on early disease detection through regular exams and screenings. We offer customized vaccination schedules, parasite prevention, and nutritional counseling to maintain optimal pet health. By establishing baseline wellness metrics, we can identify potential issues before they become serious, ensuring pets enjoy longer, healthier lives with proactive medical interventions.
ACL Surgical Repair
We specialize in advanced ACL repair techniques including TTA-2 procedures for canine cruciate ligament injuries. Our surgical team uses minimally invasive methods that reduce recovery time and promote faster healing. The TTA-2 technique preserves bone integrity while providing long-term joint stability, with most patients achieving full weight-bearing within two weeks and complete recovery in 8-10 weeks.
Equine Services
Our equine practice provides comprehensive care for performance, breeding, and companion horses. Services include dental care, lameness evaluation, reproductive assistance, and on-farm emergency treatment. Our veterinarians use portable diagnostics and maintain specialized equine surgical equipment, combining traditional farm calls with clinic-based advanced procedures for thorough equine health management.
Ultrasound
We utilize advanced ultrasound technology for non-invasive internal organ evaluation in small animal patients. This diagnostic tool allows real-time visualization of abdominal organs, helping identify tumors, cysts, and organ abnormalities without surgical intervention. Our technicians perform ultrasound assessments to guide treatment decisions and monitor patient progress effectively.
C-Section
Our surgical team specializes in urgent C-section procedures for high-risk canine pregnancies, particularly for brachycephalic breeds. We maintain specialized anesthetic protocols and neonatal care equipment to ensure safe deliveries and immediate postnatal support. This service includes comprehensive maternal monitoring and newborn resuscitation capabilities for life-saving interventions.

Thompson peak veterinary hospital is very clean and very thorough, also they have a very caring and kind staff. The Dr. had a very loving and caring attitude with my fur baby, she reassured me that everything was going to be alright and gave us the medication we needed now 3 days later my fur baby is doing just fine and back to eating again. We will be going back for our vacation in two weeks. I feel that my fur baby is in safe hands with Thompson peak veterinary hospital and I'm sure you will too.

My pup Ham needed emergent care for some type of infection and swelling on his face. They couldn't fit us in that day but they did get us in the next day by allowing us to drop him off. They also worked with us in terms of payment so that we could get him taken care of. We are so appreciative for them. And they absolutely give their best to the animals they care for.

Everything was great, people are really nice there. They are really fast too when it comes to emergencies and normal everyday animal issues. Had an emergency with my dog that was fixed the same day. Took my cat in to get fixed and again the same day it was finished. The prices are great too, cheaper than most places. The counter people are really nice they'll work with you on payments for the most part. They have specific payment options, not too sure on that as I didn't ask about the programs they have available for us poor people. The area is always clean when I come in, the parking lot is decent
