Pet Wellness & Prevention
Our comprehensive wellness program focuses on early disease detection through regular check-ups and age-specific assessments. We provide vaccinations, parasite prevention, and nutritional counseling tailored to each pet's life stage. Our team educates owners on recognizing subtle health changes that pets often hide, ensuring timely interventions that extend healthy lifespans while maintaining comfort and quality of life.
Veterinary Surgery
We perform routine and advanced surgical procedures using state-of-the-art equipment and multi-modal pain management. Our services include soft tissue surgery, orthopedic procedures like TPLO and ACL repairs, and minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork and continuous monitoring ensure patient safety while laser surgery options reduce recovery times and post-operative discomfort for optimal surgical outcomes.
Emergency Care
Critical care services address traumatic injuries, allergic reactions, and life-threatening conditions during regular business hours. Our team handles stabilization, diagnostics, and treatment for breathing difficulties, severe bleeding, and poisoning cases. After-hours emergencies are referred to 24/7 specialty hospitals while we provide immediate guidance and triage instructions for pet owners in crisis situations.
Advanced Diagnostics
Our in-house laboratory and imaging capabilities enable rapid diagnosis through bloodwork, urinalysis, and digital radiography. We utilize ultrasound, endoscopy, and tonometry for specialized assessments of internal organs, eye pressure, and gastrointestinal issues. These tools help establish health baselines, monitor chronic conditions, and guide treatment decisions with precision and accuracy.
Dental Care
Comprehensive oral health services include professional cleanings, dental radiography, and treatment for periodontal disease. We address tooth extractions, oral tumors, and malocclusions under anesthesia while providing home care guidance. Regular dental maintenance prevents systemic infections and supports overall health through early intervention for gingivitis and tooth decay.

The care that Upper Arlington Veterinary Hospital gives to their patients, is simply amazing. They care so much, and you see it immediately from the smiles on the staff’s faces when you walk in for an appointment. I had an emergency situation with my dog just recently, and they went above and beyond what any veterinarian would do for their… typical animals. At night, after hours, because they care. If you want knowledgeable Veterinarians that will do anything and everything for your Pet and that treats them like family, like we do- This is simply the only place to go.

Our appointment today was handled promptly out of respect for us having to walk an hour, which was incredibly helpful. Dr. Giatis was incredibly friendly, helpful, and informative. We were granted peace of mind regarding our dog's condition.

I cannot say enough good things about Upper Arlington Veterinary Hospital. From the moment you step into the office, you can feel at ease knowing your pets are in great hands. Dr. Giatis and Dr Joanna have been fantastic at collaborating with my dogs medical needs, and ensuring they get high quality medical care. As Veterinary Technician myself, it's reassuring to know that my kiddos get treated like family!

This veterinary hospital is the best I've ever experienced and literally every person working there has been superlative and just amazing. I have a difficult dog with special social needs and high anxiety who comes from some clandestine, probably multigenerational stray roots and spent her first few months in that environment. This place is a godsend and every time I go there, my life and my wonderful special pup's life is made happier. And it's been 5 years of that. I can't thank you all enough truly. You make such a difference and are incredibly competent caregivers and kind people. The attention

I had a great experience at Upper Arlington Veterinary Hospital. The office itself is beautiful and pleasant - spacious with lots of windows. The doctor and other staff members were friendly, professional and interacted so nicely with my dog. They had a calming demeanor with my dog and gave a thorough exam.
