Becker Animal Hospital’s Veterinary Services:
Providing the best of care for you & your pet

Because of the shorter lifespan of our pets, we believe in the importance of an annual physical examination. Thorough check-ups and preventive care can help alleviate serious health problems. We offer a wide range of veterinary services to keep your companions feeling their best.

Below is a list of some of the many veterinary services we offer. Should you have any questions or need additional information, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We would love to hear from you!

• Pet Wellness Care—The mainstay of our veterinary practice is keeping your pet healthy. We offer appropriate blood tests and vaccination protocols tailored to you and your pets’ needs.
• Veterinary Surgical Services—Our surgical suite provides for a wide variety of surgical procedures. Many of our procedures are done on an outpatient basis, allowing your pet to be back home with you the same day.
• Anesthesia—We use the safest available anesthetics to provide an extra margin of safety, especially for our older or high-risk patients. The patient’s vital signs are monitored during all anesthetic procedures.
