Wellness Care
Our wellness care programs focus on maintaining your pet's health through annual exams, lab testing, vaccinations, and parasite prevention. Early detection of health issues allows for timely intervention, ensuring your pet's long-term well-being. We tailor care plans to your pet's age, breed, and lifestyle.
Vaccinations
We provide core and lifestyle-based vaccines to protect pets from preventable diseases like rabies, distemper, and Lyme disease. Our vaccination schedules follow industry guidelines while minimizing over-vaccination through 3-year protocols. Non-adjuvanted options are available for cats.
Dental Care
Professional dental cleanings under anesthesia remove plaque and tartar buildup to prevent oral infections. We address dental disease complications and offer home care guidance. Advanced cases may require specialist referrals for comprehensive treatment.
Surgery
We perform soft tissue surgeries including spays/neuters and exploratory procedures with strict safety protocols. Laser surgery options reduce pain and bleeding while promoting faster recovery. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork ensures patient safety during procedures.
Laser Therapy
Therapeutic laser treatments address chronic pain from arthritis, post-surgical recovery, and soft tissue injuries. This non-invasive option stimulates healing without medication side effects. Multiple sessions may be needed for chronic conditions.

We've taken multiple pets to the Monongahela Animal Hospital for many years, as do my family with their pets. We all have always received the best care for our pets. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring place for their pets. Thank you so much for what you do!!

Dr. Lusk & & Dr. Ripepi have been caring for our dogs almost twenty years. They are always kind, caring & professional. The staff is wonderful also & always make us feel welcome. They always want what is best for the animals. I feel our dogs always get a good examination when we take them in.

Not sure what's going on but had to wait almost 3 months for an appointment for annual check up. A week later, one of my dogs had an allergy issue and chewed the fur off of the base of her tail. Called to try to get her in and was told it would be 10 days before they could get her in. Then the following week they put a post on Facebook that they had no vets and limited techs so be patient. I suspect they are trying to expand their patient base without getting more staff. Take care of your existing patients!
