We here at Superstition Animal Hospital believe that a trip here should be a relaxing experience for you and your pet. We want your pets to feel as if they are visiting friends and not the dreaded doctor. Through low stress handling and minimal restraint, your pet can be more relaxed and happy - this is our goal while still maintaining quality and affordable veterinary care for your pets.
If your pet tends to be very nervous in new situations or at the doctor, let us know when you schedule the appointment. We will take the time to help work through any anxiety your pet may experience. If you haven't been here before, we encourage you to bring your pet by to say hello and get a treat.

Dentistry
Report
Dental health is a very important aspect of our pets overall health. Dental disease can affect appetite and quality of life for our furry friends as it can be extremely painful. It is also a source of bacterial infection throughout the body. As our pets dental disease gets worse we can see them become less playful because they don't want to put anything in their mouths.
Dermatology
Report
Allergies in animals are very common and can be very frustrating to treat. In dogs and cats, allergies frequently cause skin disease rather than the "hay fever" symptoms humans get. Symptoms to look for in your pet would include ear infections, rashes, and itching. It is often difficult to determine if recurrent symptoms could be due to either a food allergy or an environmental allergy or sometimes even both.
Examinations & Prevention
Report
While vaccines are important, the most important part or your pet's healthcare is the yearly exam. Our pets age faster than we do and small problems can become big problems quickly. At the yearly exam we can identify any concerns and make plans to correct them if needed. It is important to evaluate all body systems at least yearly for most pets and bi-annually for our geriatric patients.
Lab work
Report
Diagnostic testing may be an important component to your pets health for disease management and prevention, whether they are ill or even healthy. The doctor can only identify so much with a physical exam. Lab testing can tell us a lot of information that the doctor may not be able to identify without testing.
