Services
Wellness Exam
Our wellness exams provide comprehensive health assessments through nose-to-tail physical examinations and diagnostic testing. We evaluate your pet's overall condition, detect early signs of disease, and recommend preventive care measures. This essential service helps maintain optimal health and longevity in pets of all ages.
Dentistry
Professional dental cleanings include scaling, polishing, and thorough oral examinations under general anesthesia. We address periodontal disease, perform dental radiographs, and offer specialized care for complex dental conditions. Our approach ensures complete oral health assessment and treatment for pets.
Diagnostics
We conduct comprehensive diagnostic testing including blood work, urinalysis, and digital imaging to evaluate organ function and identify diseases. Our diagnostic capabilities help detect endocrine disorders and infectious diseases, enabling accurate treatment planning through detailed medical analysis.
Surgery Consultation
We provide surgical assessments and referrals to board-certified veterinary surgeons for complex procedures. Our consultation process helps determine when specialty surgical care is required, coordinating with expert specialists for advanced treatment options your pet may need.
Vaccines
We administer essential vaccinations for dogs and cats following appropriate schedules to prevent infectious diseases. Our vaccination programs protect against rabies, distemper, feline leukemia, and other common pet illnesses while prioritizing safety with non-adjuvanted vaccines for cats.

Questions
What services does Belmont Heights Animal Hospital provide?
We offer wellness exams, dentistry, diagnostics, vaccinations, pain management, surgical referrals, microchipping, and preventive care for pets, along with health certificates and specialized treatments.
Do you offer emergency pet care services?
We provide initial emergency stabilization but are not a 24-hour facility. Our staff will coordinate transfers to nearby emergency facilities like Long Beach Animal Emergency and VCA Lakewood.
Why do dental cleanings require anesthesia for pets?
Proper dental cleaning requires scaling below the gumline where periodontal disease occurs. This thorough cleaning cannot be performed safely or effectively on awake animals, making anesthesia necessary.
What makes your feline vaccination program different?
We use only non-adjuvanted vaccines for cats to minimize the risk of vaccine site sarcomas while maintaining effective protection against common feline diseases like panleukopenia and upper respiratory infections.
How do you handle preventive care for pets?
Our preventive programs address internal and external parasites with customized recommendations. We offer heartworm prevention, flea control, and tailored vaccination schedules based on each pet's lifestyle and health needs.
Can you assist with pet travel requirements?
Yes, we provide domestic and international health certificates. Some countries require 6-12 months of advance planning, so we recommend researching destination requirements before scheduling your appointment.
