INTERNAL MEDICINE We cover all areas of internal medicine, including: Urology; Dermatology; Ear problems; Gastroenterology; Cardiology; Ophthalmology; Neurology; Orthopedic surgery; Oncology; Endocrinology; among others. A complete in-house laboratory is available to assist the doctors in diagnosing and prescribing treatment. During emergency situations, this can greatly facilitate the timely delivery of medical care for your pet. We also have daily access to outside laboratories where all veterinary diagnostics are available for multi-species. We often consult with veterinary specialists who assist us in establishing a diagnosis and prescribing medical care. We consider ourselves partners with our clients in promoting the best healthcare for your pet. |
EMERGENCY AND CRITICAL CARE | In any emergency, seconds count. Our experienced staff is backed up by our mobile resuscitation unit, stocked and equipped to administer the ABCs of basic life support – Airway, Breathing, Circulation/Cardiac compressions. Emergency care is offered during regular business hours. In addition, we use the services of a local, fully staffed emergency center. |
DENTAL CARE Proper dental care can make a tremendous difference in the quality of life your pet experiences as well as prolonging their lifespan considerably. Chronically infected gums act as a stress factor that takes a toll over the months and years. Our dental suite is equipped with high speed drills, teeth cleaning units and a dental x-ray machine just like you would find at a human dentist! We are able to provide advanced dental procedures utilizing light cure techniques for root canals, periodontal surgery using lasers, and restorations when indicated. The quality of life for your pet is greatly enhanced, and you will notice great improvement in your pet's breath and odor when infections are under control. We recommend a dental cleaning for the average dog or cat at least once every year. Some pets which are prone to dental infection may need dental care more frequently. Our hospital also carries a diet called T/D which has been shown to substantially reuce the tartar buildup. Call us for more information regarding proper dental care for your pet! |

LASERS | Lasers are a minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgery. Lasers replace scalpels in many procedures, and are useful for a wide range of conditions, such as cyst, tumor, and wart removal, and can even be used in declawing. Laser procedures result in less pain; less bleeding and less swelling. They reduce risk of infection and result in less post-operative discomfort. |

DAY CARE Give your Best Friend a treat . . . At Northwest Animal Hospital we offer Doggie Day Care for god doggie playmates. During the week if you need to run an errand or you are at work why not enroll your dog in Day Care rather then leave them at home where they are bored and just looking for something to do (like chew up the furniture!)
Located in a large airy playland at Northwest Animal Hospital, your dog can romp and play with doggie friends to their hearts content. The playland comes complete with loads of safe toys and an agility course and is supervised by the playland leader to ensure that everyone has a good time. Socialization is not the only benefit however. Participants receive plenty of exercise--much better than spending their stay in the confines of the kennel or cooped up at home. And of course all participants receive treats and snacks (if permitted) along with all the hugs and belly scratches they want . . . We also emphasize reinforcement of basic obedience commands. Dogs must pass a non-aggression test to ensure that they will be a good playmate with their other furry friends.
If your dog gets along with other dogs, why not enroll them in Doggie Day Care during the week or while boarding at Northwest Animal Hospital!! Most importantly, when you go away you will know that your dog is having the time of their lives enrolled in Doggie Day Care !! And our patrons can print out our Day Care Forms and bring them to the hospital to speed up registration! |
