Pet Dental Care
We provide comprehensive dental care to prevent disease and tooth loss in pets. Our services include preventive dental care, digital dental radiology, and dental surgery for tooth fractures and dental disease. Oral health is crucial for overall pet wellness, and our team offers regular cleanings, disease management, and emergency dental treatments. Proper dental care helps prevent systemic health issues that can arise from neglected oral hygiene.
Diagnostics
Our hospital utilizes advanced diagnostic imaging technology to examine pets' internal organs and systems. We offer pet digital radiology, ultrasound, echocardiography, and laser therapy services. These diagnostic tools help identify conditions that aren't visible through physical examination alone. Accurate diagnosis enables targeted treatment plans for sick and injured animals. Our on-site laboratory ensures timely results for effective medical decision-making.
Surgical Procedures
We perform surgical procedures in a stress-free environment using state-of-the-art equipment. Our soft tissue surgery services include operations on eyes, ears, throat, and lungs. Each procedure begins with pre-surgical evaluations, followed by careful monitoring during surgery and post-operative care. Our experienced veterinary team provides comprehensive surgical care with individualized attention to ensure optimal recovery for each patient.
Pet Microchipping
We offer microchipping services to permanently identify pets for safe return if lost. The rice-sized device gets implanted between shoulder blades with minimal discomfort. Each chip contains a unique ID number linked to owner contact information in the registry database. Microchipping significantly increases chances of reuniting lost pets with their families. Nearly all shelters and veterinary clinics have scanners to identify microchipped animals.
Alternative Care
We integrate traditional and complementary medicine approaches for comprehensive pet care. Our alternative services include chiropractic adjustments and acupuncture treatments. These non-invasive options can effectively address musculoskeletal issues and chronic conditions. Our holistic approach combines modern veterinary medicine with proven alternative therapies to create customized treatment plans. We evaluate each case individually to determine the most effective care strategy.

Dr. Gomez and staff are saintly. My pup can be a handful, and they were all incredibly patient, kind, and most importantly - skilled!

All doctors, assistants and staff are sweet and understanding. They are communicative, helpful, and will walk the extra mile to accommodate you. They also really care about your pet, it feels like they treat them like their own. My cat has been under Dr. Knight's excellent care and I can't recommend Fresh Pond Animal Hospital enough.

I love fresh pond animal hospital!! I have had so many terrible experiences with a cold staff at animal hospitals before and I finally found these vet techs and vets that genuinely care about my pets! Even through covid-19 they make it such a personable experience. They always make my pet as comfortable as possible and tell me about how they are doing throughout the procedure or just a check up. always get follow up questions without me calling first every time. Every time I drop off one of my pets, the staff treat them like theyre one of their own 10/10 they treat my pets like family

Really responsive to questions. Open during the pandemic-- you park in the lot and they come out and get your pet, then call you with updates and bring the pet out when they are done. Very easy and safe

Great staff. Kind and knowledgeable veterinarians. Clean spacious waiting rooms. Easy parking. Overall a terrific services. Their COVID procedures will have you waiting in the parking lot after you check in by phone and during your animal's appointment. My dog's appointment was on a very hot day and the wait was long and hot. If I had known in advance, I would have brought water for me and my dog.
