Services:

St. Francis Pet Hospital is a Veterinary Care Facility for companion animals. We are committed to delivering high quality service and veterinary care. We strive to keep on top of new techniques and methods in surgery, medicine and diagnostics. Our services include, but are not limited to:

Preventative Medicine Programs:

Vaccinations, heartworm prevention, internal parasite control, flea and tick control, dental care and cleaning, nutritional consultations, routine physical examinations and senior health programs.

Medical Examinations:

Pets are just like part of the family. A yearly physical examination is important just like people. This is usually done in conjunction with vaccinations that are required for the year. Senior pets (dogs above 7 years old and cats 8 years) should have semi-annual examinations to ensure there are no early signs of disease or illness.

Surgery:

Including spays, castrations, dentals, mass removals and selective surgeries.

In House Laboratory Testing:

(for most blood tests) If we are not equipped for a particular test the sample will be sent to the reconized laboratory. Results usually are faxed back to us within 24 hours. In house testing takes between 2 minutes and 20 minutes for results.

Dental Care:

We are equipped to ultrasonically clean your pets teeth as well as treat some common dental problems. We offer toothpaste and toothbrushes and encourage brushing your pets teeth once a week. Also we offer preventative care.

Blood Pressure Monitoring:

Doppler technology permits us to monitor your pets blood pressure during surgery. Blood pressure monitoring is also critical in the assessment of therapy adn progress of various disease conditions such as kidney disease, thyroid disease and heart disease.

Patient Records:

All patients who are registered in the clinic have their own medical record where all examinations, procedures and therapies are recorded.

Pharmacy:

We have an extensive drug inventory. Most medications can be conveniently dispensed at the time of a consultation.

Other Services:

Pet Food Bank:

Pet food avaliable to low income house-holds. Donations welcome always!

Pet Food:

To meet your pet's nutritional needs we carry two, well reconized food lines- Hill's prescription diets and Purina Veterinary Diets. These diets are of excellent quality and provide complete and balanced nutrition for your pet. If your companion animal has a special nutritional requirement our doctor and staff will recommend an appropriate diet to support the therapy of various illnesses, such as renal disease, liver disease, gastrointestinal disease, obesity, oral health care, urinary tract disease and more.

Microchip Identification:

Through the simple process of implanting a rice grain sized microchip under the skin, your pet will be identified by a unique number revealed by a scanner. All animal shelters and veterinary clinics should be equipped with a microchip scanner. The whole process is safe, simple and effective. We use microchips that are reconized throughout North America. If you and your pet are going further afield we also have microchips that are identified internationally. Ask us for more details when you and your pet come for a visit.

Re-Home:

We offer to clients if there is no other option to re-home a pet if required. If a pet is re-homed through us they will have vaccinations up to date and will be spayed/neutered. Keep coming back to see on our website if any pets are up for adoption on our adoption page.

Pet Store:

We like to carry the items you need to make you and your pet happy, here is just some of the items that can be found in our Pet Store.
