Pet Wellness & Prevention
Regular nose-to-tail exams and age-specific assessments help detect health issues early. We emphasize preventative care to ensure pets live longer, healthier lives through vaccinations, nutrition counseling, and dental care. Our tailored wellness plans address breed-specific risks and lifestyle factors.
Surgical Procedures
We perform routine and advanced surgeries using state-of-the-art equipment. Services include soft tissue operations, mass removals, dental procedures, and laser surgery. Patients receive multi-modal anesthesia and continuous monitoring for safety and comfort during recovery.

Critical care for injuries, sudden illnesses, and life-threatening conditions is available during business hours. For after-hours emergencies, we partner with BluePearl Pet Hospital. Our team provides diagnostics, pain management, and stabilization for urgent cases.

Professional bathing, trimming, and nail care are offered for dogs and cats. Our groomers focus on comfort and safety, with de-matting, flea checks, and skin treatments. Regular grooming helps maintain coat health and prevents discomfort from overgrown nails.

Report
We brought in a cat that we presumed was abandoned after he began showing up around our home a couple months ago. We were able to capture him one morning, and the staff at Barbour Lane Animal Hospital graciously worked us in without an appointment to get him checked out immediately. Dr. OGrady, along with VetTech Allison checked him over and gave him the appropriate treatments and vaccinations. Everyone was kind, courteous and professional. We really appreciate the care and concern shown for both us and the cat, who now has a better chance for a long and happy life as someones loving pet

We use to live near Barbour Lane Animal Hospital and since leaving the area we have not been able to find a place we feel comfortable with leaving our precious boxer/mix whos a rescue we adopted some years ago. We are very protective about where we board him because we know him so well, he lets us know that this hospital took great care of him the five days we were away. We absolutely love Barbour Lane Animal Hospital and appreciate the staff for taking excellent care of our pet.

Report
Our initial visit to the Barbour Lane Animal Hospital could not have been better. Every staff member was thoughtful and kind to our new-to-us geriatric dog, Jack. Dr. Townsend spent an entire hour evaluating Jack, explaining his conditions and running tests on his new patient. Just 24 hours after our visit, we received a phone call letting us… know that Jack has parasites. We were urged to start treatment immediately and the practice provided the medication along with scheduling a post-treatment recheck. It has been 20 years since we were owned by a dog. We are very grateful to our neighbors
