Services
Surgery
We provide a wide range of surgical services from routine to complex procedures. Our focus on patient safety and pain management ensures optimal outcomes. The surgical team maintains strict protocols for pre-operative assessment, anesthesia monitoring, and post-operative care to guarantee your pet's comfort and recovery.
Dental Care
Comprehensive dental services prevent and treat oral diseases that threaten pets' overall health. Our offerings include professional cleanings, extractions, and diagnostics using digital radiography. We educate owners about home care practices to maintain oral health between professional visits, addressing issues before they become painful.
Laser Therapy
This non-invasive treatment accelerates healing through photo-bio-modulation. Laser therapy effectively manages pain and inflammation from arthritis, injuries, or post-surgical recovery. The treatment delivers light energy to damaged tissues, stimulating cellular repair processes without requiring drugs or surgery for improved patient comfort.
Nutritional Counseling
Personalized dietary plans address each pet's unique health requirements. Our experts analyze current diets and medical conditions to recommend balanced nutrition strategies. We guide owners through commercial food selection, supplement use, and special dietary needs for pets with medical conditions or life stage transitions.
Microchipping
Permanent identification through microchip implantation increases reunion chances for lost pets. The quick, painless procedure places a rice-sized chip under the skin that stores contact information. We ensure proper registration and database updates to maintain effective identification protection throughout your pet's lifetime.

Love his place! The entire staff here truly is passionate about animals and they care about the families. They don't rush through the exam to get to the next patient, they're thorough and they do what's best for each animal

We have a bunny and these folks are the only ones in the area who know the ins and outs of rabbits. They were very nice, knowledgeable and able to help us with him in a timely manner. We have other animals that go to another vet, but once they allow new clients again we may switch everyone over. Highly recommend these folks

My vet hasnt always had the answers, but they are always willing to do research and get back to me. I appreciate they dont charge me an arm and a leg when I come in with mysterious issues. They take my concerns seriously and work on finding a solution.
Dr Ryan and the staff was incredible when I had Frankie and Tax Return (both rabbits) spayed. Frankie,my oldest rabbit had some complications and needed extra pain management. Dr Ryan took Frankies needs seriously and took care of her.

I cannot put in to words how beyond appreciative of everyone we are, at Beaver Lake Animal Hospital.. My big bunny Moose suddenly fell ill over last weekend and we were able to get him in first thing Monday morning after.. Had it not been the quick response of everyone there, my baby might not have recovered..Everyone took such good care of him and he was a good boy being treated...Our hearts are happy, because he's on the mend, mad at Mama(me) lol, but slowly getting better..THANK YOU!!!!!
