Ballard Animal Hospital

Ballard Animal Hospital is a privately owned veterinary hospital serving patients and clients at the same Location for over 60 years. Dr. William Brennan built the original structure and opened for business in 1953. In his design, he included a three bedroom apartment, located below the clinic, where he and his family lived for several years.

At Ballard Animal Hospital, it is our commitment to provide up-to-date, comprehensive and professional care throughout the life of your pet. Our services and facilities are designed to assist in routine preventive care, the diagnosis and treatment of disease and complete medical and surgical care. We understand the special role your pet plays in your family and treat our patients as we would our own pets.

Your pet's annual exam allows for early detection and prompt treatment of health problems, but it's also the way that we get to know you and your pet. This doctor, patient, client relationship forms the foundation for caring for the health of your pet throughout its life. At least once, and then as patients age, twice per year, your pet should have a complete physical examination.

We operate primarily on an appointment basis. If you need to cancel a scheduled appointment or surgical procedure, we ask that you call us 24 hours in advance. Please note that emergency cases shall always receive top priority, which may delay a scheduled appointment. Your patience and understanding is appreciated if this happens.

Junior came into my life when he was a few years old and I feel fortunate I got to have him for close to 16 years. Our sweet Hanna Corinna enriched our lives everyday. She always talked to us and everyone else who visited; she persisted until she was included in the conversation. You were such a shy romantic ruffian with tattered ears that came to us one summer day, mostly skin and bones and afraid of being attacked.
