The doctors and staff at Animal Care Center, Best Care Animal Hospital and Country Oaks Animal Hospital believe fully in preventive health care. Our focus is on preventing disease first. Annual examinations and vaccinations are the first step in preventing some of the more common diseases. And with a special focus on senior care we can provide excellent health care well into your pet's "golden years". 

     Our main facility, Animal Care Center has begun offering Ultrasound and Telemedicine. We have purchased equipment that has the capability of sending vital information, including lab results, x-rays, ultrasound images, cytology findings, etc. to a veterinary specialist via the internet. What this means for our patients is faster results from a specialist on difficult or complicated cases saving you a trip to a specialty clinic. This results in quicker treatment of our patients and much better convenience for our patients owners. It also gives us immediate access to the best veterinary specialists around the country with out leaving the clinic.

     All our facilities have a full in-house laboratory for use when lab results are needed immediately for sick patients or are awaiting surgery. The doctors may sometimes still choose to send lab tests to an outside laboratory if it is a test that we can not do in-house, and also if the outside lab tests are more inclusive of specific tests. Our full pharmacy keeps your pet's medication needs convenient for you. We recommend, for your convenience, that you call ahead for refills on medications. This will ensure that the prescription is ready and waiting for you at the front desk when you come to retrieve it. Also for your convenience, we have a pharmacy here on our website. Talk about convenient! These prescriptions are delivered right to your door within 24 hours. The prices are slightly higher than our pharmacy items in the clinic, mainly due to shipping costs. Please ask a staff member if you have any questions.

     Our doctors are known for their knowledge and expertise in surgery. From a routine hysterectomy (spay) to the repair of a torn knee ligament, you can be assured your pet is getting the best possible care and pain management associated with surgical procedures. Our nurses and advanced monitoring equipment allow the peace-of-mind for a safe and uneventful anesthetic episode. The anesthetics used are the safest and have the least side-effects of any available. If your pet needs or may need a surgery in the near future, ask for a tour of the facility and we can explain what your pet can expect the day of the scheduled procedure. Pain management is an important part of our care post-operatively.

     Dental care for our pets is an important preventive health. Our veterinary nurses will ultrasonically scale and polish your pets teeth while under anesthesia. Flouride treatment will keep your pets teeth healthier longer. Ask any of our nurses for a free dental evaluation for your pet

     No one likes to hear about pets needing Chemotherapy but there comes a time when it may be necessary. If that time comes with your own pet, we will do our very best to maintain your pet's quality of life while treating the disease. We offer our clients full knowledge of the plan for treatment and encourage you to ask questions, as we know you will have many. 

     Animal Care Center, Best Care, and Country Oaks are now offering behavior consultations to our clients and community.  We realize how much time it can take to assist our clients in resolving their pet’s behavior issues, so we have set aside time and space to do just that.  A behavior consultation takes approximately one to one and a half hours, whether in our office or as a house-call.  During a consultation, we will assess the pet’s behavior issues and establish a retraining plan with the owner.  Our goal is to correct inappropriate behavior and encourage positive interactions between pets and people.

     The full array of available services can not be covered here. Rest assured, we can help you with any health concern or problem your pet may be experiencing.
