Wellness Exams
Regular nose-to-tail exams help detect health issues early. Our veterinarians assess pets' overall condition, recommend vaccinations, and create tailored wellness plans. Early diagnosis through routine check-ups prevents serious illnesses and extends pets' lifespans. We emphasize owner education to maintain optimal health between visits.
Emergency Care
We provide immediate care for critical conditions during business hours. For after-hours emergencies, we partner with local 24-hour hospitals. Our team handles trauma, poisoning, breathing difficulties, and other life-threatening situations. Rapid diagnostics and stabilization ensure pets receive timely, appropriate treatment.
Surgical Procedures
From routine spays/neuters to complex orthopedic repairs, our surgeons use modern techniques and equipment. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork and monitoring ensure patient safety. We perform dental surgeries, ACL repairs, fracture fixes, and soft-tissue operations. Post-operative care includes pain management and recovery guidance.
Diagnostic Imaging
Advanced diagnostics include digital X-rays, ultrasound, and EKGs. These tools help identify internal injuries, heart conditions, and organ abnormalities. Our veterinarians interpret results quickly to formulate accurate treatment plans. Imaging services support both emergency care and chronic condition management.

Specialized care for aging pets includes mobility assessments, pain management, and chronic disease monitoring. We offer tailored nutrition plans and early detection of age-related conditions. Our goal is to maintain quality of life through compassionate, proactive treatment for senior animals.

Lyndon Animal hospital was referred to us to treat our dogs knee injury. The staff was pleasant and efficient, getting us in relatively quickly. Dr. Matt Thompson spent a lot of time with us (even though we were the last appt of the day) providing the details of the surgical options and the pros and cons of each. He was straightforward but patient with our numerous questions. Ultimately we opted for the lateral suture surgery which was successful. Our pup is currently recovering and we continue to be very impressed with the entire staff at Lyndon.

Took my 1 year old pit for his first chiropractic visit with Dr. Gawley. He has been having leg issues that I couldnt figure out for almost a month now. Now after this visit, I am SO grateful I was referred here. My gunna received a good diagnosis, the treatment he needed and was smiling (pitty smile) for the first time in weeks! Im so thankful for how nice and attentive both the Dr. and staff were. Will be using this office as his primary vet. Thank you so much, Lyndon Animal Clinic!

We trust Lyndon Animal Clinic with our whole herd: 3 cats and 1 dog. The vets are kind, knowledgeable, and very thorough, and the staff is friendly and provides amazing customer service. While most of our visits to Lyndon Animal Clinic are for routine care, we have also made a few trips for our elderly cats' end of life care. Dr. Thompson has put two of our furry friends to rest, and while a pet's death can be traumatic, Dr. Thompson's professional and kind demeanor helped buffer those tough situations. He walked us through the process, prayed with us, and let us have time with our pets before

My visit to Lyndon was for the annual exam and shots for my maltipoo, Sassy. Kurt Oliver has been caring for Sassy since we picked her up from the breeder. His care during this visit was as it always is. He is a caring, professional, and cares for his 4-legged patients as if they were his own.

They are incredible! Even when they are triple booked, they took in a dog that needed immediate care when the dogs own vet turned them down. Not often that you can find such an amazing vet thats in it solely to help animals and not for profit! 15/10 would recommend!
