Our comprehensive wellness exams include physical assessments, parasite screening, and preventative care planning. Veterinarians evaluate pets' overall health while providing vaccination updates and nutrition counseling. These regular checkups help detect potential issues early through thorough physical examinations and diagnostic testing when needed.

We perform soft tissue and orthopedic surgeries using modern anesthetic monitoring equipment. Procedures include spays/neuters, mass removals, and fracture repairs. Our surgical team follows strict protocols for pain management and post-operative care to ensure optimal recovery outcomes for animal patients.

Our dog was attacked over the summer, and the doctors and staff kept our little guy alive. He would not be here if it were not for them! The staff is friendly and great, and now we use their grooming services too - reasonable prices and our pup looks so handsome. Patrons for life!

The staff at PAH is phenomenal. They are friendly, customer service oriented, and extremely knowledgeable. We drive around 40 minutes with our dogs to them because we have faith in their ability to give exceptional care to our furry friends.
