• DENTAL CARE

  Regular professional cleaning is important to maintaining your pet's teeth. We use modern and safe ultrasound to clean each tooth thoroughly - above and below the gum line. Dental technicians polish teeth to create a smooth, lustrous tooth surface more resistant to plaque buildup. Fluoride treatments help strengthen enamel and reduce tooth sensitivity. Advanced dental care is available, including root canals, caps and braces. We now have available digital dental radiography to determine internal root and tooth abnormalities.

No larger than a grain of rice, a microchip is implanted between your pet's shoulder blades using a special syringe and cause minimal discomfort similar to any injection. Local animal hospitals and shelters have scanners to check lost pets for microchips.

• Laparoscopy

  We now offer laparoscopy to our patients. Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive surgical technique in which a camera and special instruments are passed into the abdomen through 2 or 3 small incisions, usually ~ 1cm in size, and are used to visualize the entire body cavity and organs. Due to the smaller incision opening and less disruption to the body cavity and muscles, the patient is able to recover much more quickly and comforably than with traditional surgical methods.  This procedure also yields reduced bloodloss and more accurate diagnostic ability. Many major and minor surgical procedures can be completed via the laparoscope.

• Endoscopy

  We also offer endoscopic procedures to our clients. Endoscopy allows us to visualize the inside of the digestive tract via camera on a flexible scope to search and retrieve foreign objects, take biopsy samples, and search for abnormalities within the GI tract. It can also be used to inspect the upper respiratory tract. This minimally invasive procedure is relatively painless and allows a much quicker recovery than traditional surgical procedures.

• ULTRASOUND

  This non-invasive, state-of-the-art technology uses sound waves to painlessly examine specific internal organs, primarily the heart and abdominal organs. Pregnancy exams are also available. We utilize the skills of board certified veterinary radiologists through a network referral system. This system delivers radiographs and ultrasounds over a private network to be analyazed off-site and evaluations usually returned within 24 hours.

Enrichment Program

• Enrichment Program

  WAH offers an enhanced doggie day care program. Dogs are first temperment and behavior evaluated before granted access into the program, then placed into the appropriate size play group. These dogs will spend quality time learning new tricks, stimulating mind and body, and reinforcing good manners while playing with friends. Enrichment participants can be dropped off early morning between 7-10 am and picked up from 4-6 pm at The Lodge entrance to avoid hospital crowds. Any other time of day, pets have to go thru the hospital entrance to be dropped off and picked up. Our enrichment program is offered Monday thru Friday. Call for pricing and scheduling questions.
