Wellness Exams
Our comprehensive wellness exams detect health issues early through nose-to-tail assessments. We recommend regular check-ups for all pets, with age-specific evaluations that help maintain optimal health. These preventive visits include thorough physical examinations and tailored health recommendations.
Vaccinations
We provide essential vaccinations for dogs and cats, including rabies, distemper, and feline leukemia. Our veterinarians create customized vaccination schedules based on each pet's age, health status, and lifestyle. We explain all vaccine benefits and potential side effects during consultations.
Pet Boarding
Our boarding facility offers safe, comfortable stays with personalized care. Separate spaces for cats and dogs ensure peaceful environments. Trained staff monitor pets daily, and all guests receive regular attention. We administer medications and provide veterinary care if needed during stays.
Emergency Care
We offer immediate veterinary attention for critical conditions during business hours. Our team handles trauma cases, severe illnesses, and life-threatening situations using advanced diagnostic tools. After-hours emergencies receive referral recommendations to trusted 24-hour facilities.
Surgical Procedures
Our surgical services range from routine spay/neuter operations to complex soft tissue and orthopedic procedures. We use modern anesthetic protocols and laser surgery techniques to minimize discomfort. All patients receive continuous monitoring before, during, and after operations.

Editing to add that the vet DID in fact call me a few days later and worked it out. She as very thoughtful and helpful, and refunded the cost of the vaccine. Still haven't gone back, but the gesture to reach out was definitely appreciated. I brought my goldendoodle here several times to be groomed, have never had an issue. The grooming has always been great and high quality.
However, on my most recent visit when I picked my dog up I had noticed the bill was higher. They said they gave him a vaccine. It's worth noting this is NOT his primary vet, they just had his vaccine records from his last

Dr. Seigwald and staff are so caring and compassionate! They are so knowledgeable and really take the time to thoroughly explain everything I need to know for my babies! They treat both animals and people with kindness and respect! I'm a rescue dog mom and I worry about EVERYTHING with my babies and they are so understanding, patient, and thorough! I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Seigwald and Hurstbourne Animal Hospital!!

I have used this place for the vet visits and the some of the vet techs and the vets are kind and caring. However, there is one vet tech that seems to hate her job and/or animals. She has been rude every time I have interacted with her. I have also used them for boardig because it is what my mother has used for her dog. It works great for Athena (shes quite a lovebug and loves people). However, I have a very hyperactive husky that has seperation anxiety and is given medication when needed to help calm her. The first time boarding my dog (Nova), my mom and I requested ahead of time that her dog

I love Hurstbourne Animal Hospital. We were introduced to Hurstbourne Animal Hospital when our male dog needed stitches from being in a scuffle with our female dog. Everywhere else (with the exception of the outrageously expensive emergency vet) was either 1. Very expensive and/or 2. Not able to see him.
Hurstbourne was able to make an appt for our dog the very next day. We have gone to them ever since. They were there for us when our beloved 8-year-old dog Ramona passed away and they were incredibly supportive. The staff are amazing. They are always so polite and patient. We always look

I just love taking my dogs here. The staff is very professional at the front desk, and will answer your questions. If they don't know the answer they will go to someone and find out. The assistants for the Vets are always kind and sweet.. And Dr.Bell is just amazing! She is the only vet that I want my dogs seeing. I am sure the other vets are amazing as well, but I just like to stick with the same one, since one of my dog's have some issues.
