Primary Specialty

Animal Hospital

Gender Male
Services Wellness Visits
An annual wellness exam is an important part of your pet's health care. Early detection of health problems can aid in treatment and help your pet to live a long and healthy life. A good working relationship with the same doctor throughout your pet's life is beneficial to you and to him. Our doctor will not only give your special friend a thorough exam, but will also discuss diet, vaccines, and any preventative health questions you might have.
Vaccinations
Vaccinating against serious infectious diseases like Distemper, Parvo, Lyme's , or leukemia will help your pet stay healthy and happy. Current vaccines are much more effective and safer than ever before. Please talk to our staff so we can recommend the best vaccine program for your special four-legged friend.
Dental
A pet with a clean healthy mouth is not only more pleasant to kiss but actually lives a longer life. Our staff would be happy to discuss proper dental care options for your dog or cat. We can show you how to brush your pet's teeth and recommend several products from rinses to chews. Our technicians and doctor are very skilled at professional cleanings. Sometimes dental x-rays are taken to diagnose any current problems and help to prevent any future problems. Call us today to arrange a time to discuss your pet's oral health.
Surgery
As a pet owner, sometimes we don't want to think that our special friends need surgery. At the ARDDA animal hospital, we will always recommend as many treatment options as possible. But when surgery is necessary, rest assured that your pet will be cared for with expert hands, a caring staff, proper pain management, and modern equipment to assure his or her comfort and recovery are easy.
Neutering
We believe that all non-breeding dogs and cats will benefit from neutering early in life(six months of age). Not only is the procedure less involved, there are health benefits for later in life. These include decreased risks of breast and testicular cancer and elimination of uterine infections in females.
Orthopedics
We provide a full range of services - from screening and diagnosis to treatment and rehabilitation - for conditions including hereditary joint disorders, cruciate ligament tears, patella luxation, fractures and arthritis. These surgeries encompass both fracture repair and joint surgeries. Injuries to the ligaments in the knee are one of the most common problems for active dogs. Surgical repair combined with follow-up physical therapy and joint supplements like glucosamines and condroitins can help return your pet to his regular active lifestyle.
Soft tissue surgery
These surgeries encompass a wide range of procedures. From suturing a simple laceration to tumor removal with follow-up chemotherapy, our staff is well qualified to give your pet the care she needs. Most procedures can be performed with a short hospital stay, ensuring your friend is home for most of his recovery.
Boarding
Drop-Off Care
Genetic testing
Microchip Tagging
Our hospital recommends the Avid microchip system. This system allows you to register your pet with you as his owner and us as the hospital where it was implanted. When combined with a universal scanner and the national pet location system, we can greatly increase returning your pet safely to your home.

The magazines in their waiting room were so boring. It made my time in the waiting room drag. They definitely didn't have enough staff members on hand. It seemed like one person was trying to do everything, and I ended up waiting for a very long time. They did not fully explain my pet's condition to me. I left frustrated and confused.

They were far to arrogant to get any sort of outside advice, even though they knew they should. I was hoping to see someone that considered my safety more important than always having an answer. They definitely pressured me to buy products. I felt like they were just trying to make money off me. Everything they originally told me they would be able to do for me, they ended up not being able to do. I felt lied to. I keep asking this veterinarian if they could send out reminder cards for pets annual exams and they say that they do, but I've never received one before. It would just be so nice if they would make the extra effort for their patients. This provider has no helpful information available online, apart from their address and phone number. They just have a basic listings page.
