Services
Vaccinations
Our vaccination programs protect pets from life-threatening diseases through core and non-core vaccine protocols. We recommend regular booster shots to maintain immunity against rabies, distemper, and other contagious illnesses. Our veterinarians create customized vaccination schedules based on pet age, breed, and lifestyle factors.
Dental Care
Comprehensive dental services prevent and treat periodontal disease through professional cleanings, extractions, and oral surgery. We address plaque buildup, gingivitis, and dental trauma while educating owners about home oral care routines. Early intervention prevents systemic infections from oral bacteria.
Spay and Neuter
We perform spay and neuter surgeries to improve pet health and control animal populations. These procedures prevent reproductive cancers, reduce behavioral issues, and extend pets' lifespans. Our post-operative care includes pain management and recovery monitoring.
Parasite Prevention
Our parasite prevention programs protect against fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal parasites through topical treatments and oral medications. We conduct regular screenings to detect infestations early and implement treatment plans to eliminate existing parasites.
Emergency Surgery
We provide immediate surgical interventions for traumatic injuries, internal obstructions, and acute medical conditions. Our emergency services include diagnostic imaging, stabilization techniques, and post-operative critical care monitoring for life-threatening situations.

Questions
What vaccination schedule do you recommend for puppies and kittens?
We recommend initial vaccinations at 6-8 weeks old with boosters every 3-4 weeks until 16 weeks old. Rabies vaccination occurs at 12-16 weeks, followed by annual or triennial boosters depending on vaccine type.
How often should pets receive dental cleanings?
Most pets require professional dental cleanings every 6-12 months. Our veterinarians assess individual oral health during wellness exams to determine appropriate cleaning frequency based on plaque accumulation and gum condition.
What emergency services are available after regular business hours?
While we don't provide 24/7 emergency care, we recommend Columbus-area emergency clinics for urgent after-hours situations. Our staff can provide contact information for local 24-hour emergency facilities.
Do you offer microchipping services for pet identification?
Yes, we provide microchipping services for permanent pet identification. The procedure takes just minutes during regular appointments and offers the best chance of reunion if pets become lost.
What parasite prevention products do you recommend?
We recommend monthly heartworm preventatives combined with flea and tick control products tailored to each pet's lifestyle. Our staff can help select appropriate products based on individual risk factors and health status.
How do you handle senior pet care needs?
Senior pets receive specialized wellness exams focusing on early detection of age-related conditions. We recommend biannual checkups with bloodwork screening and tailored nutrition/exercise plans to maintain quality of life.

Report
Had my first visit today with two of my fur babies out of four(one of which can be aggressive and very loud and was today) staff didnt seem to get angry or aggrivated at all although i felt a bit embarrassed. I also love the way the doctor took time out of his busy schedual to answer all of my questions and concerns (and i had a lot. Sorry doc.) So far i'm glad i switched vets.

I took my euro doby here to have his ears done. I was skeptical at first. After his ears were done I returned 3 times for follow up postings (no additional cost). He told me before that it could take more but I was happy at that point. I would use them again. Thank you

I switched to this animal hospital permanently. Their prices are half of what I was paying elsewhere. Their vets are amazing. They allow you to come in with your pet and go into a private room with them(some vets won't let you inside because of covid). I've never had any issues making appointments(even sameday emergency ones). If they're booked, just add your name to the wait list and 9 times out of 10 they call you back and squeeze you in due to cancellations.

Dr Turkey is awesome, have taken many animals there. Only one thing I wish you would take Care Credit? That is what kept me from giving 5 stars, sorry. Consider doing it then I can come back.
