Emergency Veterinary Care
Harmony Animal Hospital offers 24/7 emergency services with trained staff and diagnostic equipment for critical medical and surgical cases. Services include trauma treatment, poison ingestion management, and after-hours critical care for dogs, cats, and small mammals. Emergency visits are accepted daily, with specialized protocols for overnight stabilization and follow-up care.
Surgical Procedures
We perform routine and advanced surgeries in a state-of-the-art suite, including spays/neuters, tumor removals, orthopedic repairs, and foreign body extractions. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork and monitoring ensure safety, with pain management plans tailored to each patient. Board-certified surgeons collaborate on complex cases, emphasizing minimally invasive techniques where appropriate.
Dental Services
Comprehensive dental care includes cleanings, extractions, and periodontal treatments using modern anesthetics and pain control. We address halitosis, gingivitis, and dental fractures while emphasizing preventive home care education. In-office ultrasonic scaling and polishing restore oral health, with radiography available for root-level diagnostics.
Diagnostic Imaging
24-hour digital radiography and ultrasound capabilities allow rapid diagnosis of thoracic, abdominal, and orthopedic conditions. Our equipment identifies fractures, internal bleeding, and organ abnormalities, supported by partnerships for advanced imaging like CT scans. Real-time ultrasound-guided biopsies enhance diagnostic accuracy for complex cases.
Pet Boarding
Secure boarding facilities accommodate dogs and cats with supervised walks, individual runs, and climate-controlled housing. Long-term stays include complimentary baths, with strict vaccination requirements ensuring a parasite-free environment. Staff monitor boarded pets daily, administering medications as needed while maintaining separation between species for stress reduction.
