Dental Care
Our veterinary dental care prevents periodontal disease through professional cleanings, full-mouth X-rays, and oral surgeries. We treat conditions like tooth decay and gum infections while teaching at-home care techniques. Regular dental maintenance protects pets from painful oral issues and systemic health complications.

We provide core and lifestyle-based vaccine protocols to protect dogs from distemper, parvovirus, and rabies while offering feline leukemia and rabies vaccines for cats. Our customized vaccination schedules ensure pets maintain optimal immunity against preventable diseases throughout their lives.
Oncology
Our cancer treatment services deliver chemotherapy for common pet cancers like lymphoma and osteosarcoma using lower dosages that minimize side effects. We provide diagnostic imaging, treatment planning, and quality-of-life assessments while offering compassionate support to pet owners during this difficult time.
Senior Pet Care
We specialize in age-related condition management through biannual wellness exams, blood testing, and early-detection screening for arthritis, kidney disease, and diabetes. Our comprehensive approach helps maintain senior pets' comfort and mobility while monitoring cognitive changes in aging animals.
Behavioral Medicine
Our fear-free certified team addresses behavioral issues like separation anxiety, aggression, and inappropriate elimination through environmental modifications and positive reinforcement techniques.

Awesome staff and facilities! Dan and the crew took excellent care of our elder puggle in their boarding area. He needed some extra medical attention at the end of his stay and the onsite medical staff took the time to make sure he was safe and healthy. Our little guy came home in great shape thanks to the kind and knowledgeable folks at Fishers Veterinary! Highly recommend!

I adopted a cat from IACS and I wanted her to be checked out since she had been wheezing. I made an appointment and brought her in. Really great staff. They went through everything I had on the cat and gave me recommendations on stuff to screen for. This cat was very skittish and they were so kind and patient with me and the cat. I absolutely recommend Fishers Vet Hospital.

The techs are all super friendly. They have very strict safety precautions for covid now. You call upon arrival to check in, a tech will collect your pet at the front door (unless your presence is necessary you will have to wait outside/in your car), then you'll get a call when complete to make a payment over the phone and get your pet at the exit.

Regarding my review of Fishers Veterinary hospital posted 12/27/2020 where Jackie responded saying to call if I wanted to discuss anything, perhaps she forgot that I called and spoke to her 2 days after my cat was euthanized and several days before I posted.I discussed every situation that I referred to and included names and details. It was at that time that I requested that all records, blood work results and x rays of my remaining dogs(2) and cats(2)be transferred to my new veterinary facility. Once again, my phone call was of no importance and forgotten.

This hospital comes up when you search for an emergency location. It was also suggested by my usual vet clinic who couldn't see us. I had a cat who had been poisoned by a plant and tried to come in and they refused to see us. I told them they were listed as an emergency facility and she said, "well we aren't." Very disappointed in how they handled my situation, given I was right outside their door with an extremely alarming and potentially life threatening problem. I quickly got her to VCA which did not hesitate to take her in.
