Wellness Exams

Annual wellness exams assess pets' overall health through physical exams, weight checks, and early disease detection. Our veterinarians monitor vital signs, dental health, and organ function while providing tailored preventive care recommendations. Regular checkups help maintain optimal health and catch potential issues before they become serious.

Vaccinations

Core and non-core vaccinations protect pets from contagious diseases like rabies, distemper, and Lyme disease. We create customized vaccine schedules based on age, lifestyle, and risk factors. Our protocols follow AAHA guidelines to ensure maximum protection while minimizing unnecessary treatments.

Dental Care

Comprehensive dental services include cleanings, extractions, and periodontal treatment using digital dental radiography. We address issues like tartar buildup, gingivitis, and tooth fractures while educating owners on home care. Proper oral hygiene prevents systemic infections affecting heart and kidney health.

Surgery

We perform routine and advanced surgical procedures with modern anesthesia monitoring and pain management. Services include spays/neuters, soft tissue surgeries, and orthopedic repairs. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork and post-op care ensure patient safety and successful recovery outcomes.

Dermatology

Specialized dermatology services diagnose and treat allergies, infections, and parasitic conditions through skin testing and biopsies. We develop targeted treatment plans using medicated therapies, dietary adjustments, and environmental controls. Chronic skin condition management improves pets' comfort and quality of life.

My dog was recently treated for pancreatitis by Dr. Dawn Garro and honestly 10/10 service and compassion. Not only did she treat my dog like one of her own but she throughly explained to me every treatment possible and held my hand the entire way while my baby was hospitalized there for the day. She gave me an estimate so there were no surprises and was extremely reasonable and very understanding of my situation. I would recommend her to everyone and anyone. Hands down the best veterinarian Ive ever brought my pets to !

We have had nothing but unbelievable care from from the Doctors to the staff. To know we have Doctors who want the best for our dogs as much as we do, is priceless. Dr. Garro and Dr Barbaris have shown in just the 1yr that weve been patients, that this is not their job, but a passion and determination to make a difference. We appreciate the follow up calls and concern. You are never just another patient , no matter how busy. They love my dogs . Its a wonderful feeling to have such a great relationship.

Ive been taking my dog to Butler Veterinary Hospital since I got her in October 2020. They have always been friendly, caring and excited to see my dog come in. The staff is attentive and they know each and every animal that comes in there as if its their own. They are there for a quick phone call with questions and concerns, or if you need an emergency appointment. I always feel comfortable and trusting of Dr. Garros and the staffs directions and treatments.
