Services
Pet Surgery
Brown Animal Hospital offers comprehensive pet surgical services using state-of-the-art technology for procedures ranging from routine spays/neuters to complex soft-tissue surgeries. Our team employs advanced pain management techniques and pre-surgical diagnostics like X-rays to ensure patient safety. Post-operative care includes laser therapy and rehabilitation to promote rapid recovery while prioritizing your pet's comfort throughout the process.
Pet Vaccinations
We provide customized vaccination plans for dogs and cats based on age, breed, and lifestyle factors. Our core vaccinations include rabies and distemper, while non-core options cover diseases like Lyme and canine influenza. Preventive vaccination schedules begin with puppy/kitten core series to establish strong immunity, ensuring lifelong protection against preventable illnesses through regular booster administrations.
Small Animal Wellness Care
Our wellness programs focus on early disease detection through regular check-ups, parasite prevention, and diagnostic screening. Services include routine examinations, microchipping, and parasite control treatments tailored to each pet's life stage. We emphasize establishing baseline health metrics during puppy/kitten visits to proactively manage long-term wellness and identify potential health issues before they escalate.
Pet Microchipping
We offer quick, painless microchip implantation between shoulder blades for permanent pet identification. Each microchip contains a unique number linked to owner contact information in national registries. The procedure uses a needle similar to vaccination administration, followed by registration assistance to ensure complete database information for maximizing pet recovery chances if lost.
Pet Boarding
Our boarding facility provides secure, comfortable accommodations for cats and dogs with regular exercise and personalized attention. Features include climate-controlled housing, daily monitoring of health status, and specialized care for pets with medical needs. We maintain strict sanitation protocols while ensuring pets receive sufficient social interaction and mental stimulation during their stay.
