Dental Care
Our dental care services prevent and treat oral health issues through comprehensive exams, cleanings, and extractions. Using advanced equipment, we address periodontal disease and ensure proper dental hygiene, which is critical for preventing systemic health issues in pets. Regular dental maintenance improves longevity and quality of life.
Emergency Care
Available 24/7, our emergency services address acute injuries, poisoning, and sudden illnesses. Trained staff stabilize critical patients using diagnostic imaging, IV fluids, and pain management. Rapid response protocols ensure timely care for life-threatening conditions like trauma, respiratory distress, and toxin exposure.
Flea and Tick Prevention
We offer customized prevention plans using topical treatments, oral medications, and collars to protect against fleas and ticks. Our staff educates owners on environmental management and seasonal risks while monitoring for emerging resistance patterns in local parasite populations.

Through blood testing and risk assessment, we implement prevention protocols using chewables, topicals, or injectables. Annual screening ensures early detection while education focuses on compliance and regional mosquito activity patterns.

This was our very first visit as we had just recently moved to the area. Dr. White and his assistant were extremely friendly and professional.They took great care of my cat and answered all the questions I had regarding my cat's health. I was nervous about going to a new vet after 15 years, but I couldn't have been happier with the way in which we were treated by the entire staff here!

The staff and doctor were polite and professional. They offered very good care and service. They accepted our dog in an emergency when our local vet would not. We will now make the drive to Glastonbury for our pet's healthcare needs. Thank you, Dr. White and staff.

Outstanding customer service as well especially over the phone. My pets Bella and Binx love the staff, nurses, doctors, just everyone there! They make them as comfortable as possible and even talk to me about everything

Glastonbury Animal Hospital cares for our two goldens. The care we received was great. The vet and technician were very responsive to our questions, gave us good advice, and seem to genuinely connect with our dogs. The office staff was very helpful and courteous. We feel lucky to have a place in town that we know will look after the health and well-being of our dogs.

My pets and I have always been treated with kindness and compassion by the talented staff and doctors at Glastonbury Animal Hospital. COVID has been stressful on all of us and they have performed with grace under such grueling hours. I appreciate all of you and know how the last two years have taken its toll on people in the service industry. Keep up the excellent work!!
