Wellness

• Dogs- The wag, the fur, the spit, what kind of day would it be without some of this doggy-love? Yearly wellness exams help us ensure that your buddy is healthy, pain free and happy! Remember...1 year to us is like 7 to them. Keep in mind, we are on a very busy highway. Always remember to have your dog on a leash when coming to visit us.

• Cats- We know it can be hard to find, catch, wrangle and drive your cat to the Vet. Our feline friends often live twice as long as their canine counterparts, they hide illness expertly and are usually wonderful patients. Because of these factors, we would love to see your cat once a year. We will do our very best to make them as comfortable as possible once they hit our front door. Please bring your cat in a carrier when coming to visit us.

 

• Other Critters- Rabbits, Guinea Pigs, Ferrets, Lizards, Turtles, Birds and more. If you have concerns, we will do our best to help your pet or find someone who can.

Vaccinations

We do our best to educate you about the specific health risks and concerns for your pet. Indoor only cats have greatly different requirements from the hunting dog who travels the country. We can educate you to make the best choices possible for your fury family friend.

Laboratory

Alpine Animal Hospital has the capability to run chemistries, electrolytes, CBC, and cytology quickly. We also partner with a professional veterinary laboratory who picks up samples daily when more advanced testing is recommended.  

​Surgery

We perform surgeries three times a week. We are experienced in both soft tissue and orthopedic procedures. We want to make sure you understand what your pet requires before, during, and after surgery. Modern veterinary medicine has seen an increase in veterinary specialties. This allows us to offer advanced or technical surgeries at specialty centers. 

​Dentistry

Maintaining your pet's teeth helps improve their overall health. Our staff is happy to help you assess your pets mouth. In addition to offering professional scaling and polishing, we perform areal surgery when necessary to remove fractured and infected teeth.

​X-rays

Now with our digital x-ray, we are able to provide you with a higher quality of care.
