Wellness Exams
Our comprehensive wellness exams detect health issues early through physical evaluations and diagnostic testing. We create customized vaccination schedules and preventive care plans based on your pet's age, breed, and health status. Regular checkups help maintain optimal health and extend pets' lifespans through early intervention.
Veterinary Surgery
We perform spays, neuters, dental procedures, and mass removals using modern anesthetic protocols. Pre-surgical bloodwork ensures patient safety while laser therapy aids post-operative recovery. Our surgical team monitors vital signs continuously and provides comprehensive pain management for all procedures.
Dog Boarding
Our temperature-controlled boarding facility offers indoor/outdoor access with bedding and playtimes. Fear Free Certified staff reduce pet stress through specialized handling techniques. We require current vaccinations for Rabies, Distemper, Bordetella, and Canine Influenza for boarding guests.
Dental Care
We treat periodontal disease through professional cleanings with ultrasonic scalers under anesthesia. Our dental services include extractions, oral exams, and home care recommendations. Regular dental maintenance prevents systemic health issues linked to oral bacteria in pets.
Laser Therapy
Class IV laser treatments reduce inflammation and accelerate healing for arthritis, wounds, and post-surgical recovery. This non-invasive therapy stimulates cellular repair without medication side effects. Most pets experience immediate pain relief during their treatment sessions.

My dog, Lily, comes from a very traumatic past and is scared of everything. She has never felt comfortable with new places or new people. The staff at Animal Hospital of Orleans has been trained to take account of every single aspect of fear that could arise as a result of a vet visit. Lily is convinced that the hospital is a candy store. Every person that she interacts with talks sweetly and gives her space while giving her treats. She is given whipped cream while receiving her injections and never realizes she is getting poked with needles. The also practice top notch medicine and surgery

Incredible staff! They are warm, kind and caring. We've been fortunateto find them several years ago and continue to find care, kennels, and food when needed. If I was selfish I would avoid a review for fear of too many people finding out about our favorite team on the Cape.

While on vacation in Cape Cod our dog became ill with severe diarrhea. She was improbing on her own but relapsed 36’ before we were to leave (4.5’ ride) to head home. AHO was the only “non emergency “ vet clinic available to treat her. Joanne was very efficient and was able to fit us in that morning ( with the caution that it could be a lengthy wait time as result) . Once there, our wait time was quite short , but in the time waiting we watched all staff interacting w other patients and owners and EVERYONE was polite, caring and helpful. It was a very busy morning in the

Disorganized.......I made an appointment for my 2 dogs.....The office called the day before reminding me of the appt for my dog........I mentioned it was for two dogs, and she replied "oh yes, I see that".......Still when I arrived for the appt, the receptionist said I only had an appt for one dog, before correcting herself....The confusion continued in the exam room, when the doctor and tech asked what was the second dog here for? they were already running 25 minutes behind schedule, so squeezed 2 dogs into one appointment slot.......now since apparently the scale in the exam room was broken,

They answered every question even when I called before I decided to use the vet office. I have 2 new pups expecting the bill to be crazy and they worked with me and what I could do for the first visit. They are very professional when answering the phone and in person. I love how the vet comes out to talk to you personally about your pet. Over all love this vet office. I feel very comfortable with my choice of bringing my pets to this vet offics.
