Veterinary Care
Kittery Animal Hospital provides comprehensive veterinary care for pets, including wellness exams, vaccinations, and chronic disease management. Our experienced veterinarians use advanced diagnostic tools to create personalized treatment plans. We emphasize preventive care to maintain optimal health and offer specialized services for senior pets requiring twice-yearly checkups.
Boarding
Our boarding facility offers safe, supervised accommodations for dogs and cats with separate spaces for felines. Dogs enjoy playgroups and 24/7 veterinary access while cats receive individual attention in quiet suites. Medically supervised boarding is available for pets with special needs, ensuring proper medication administration and health monitoring during stays.
Emergency Services
We provide emergency veterinary care six days a week for critical conditions like trauma, poisoning, or severe illness. Our trained staff handles life-threatening situations with immediate intervention while offering urgent care for non-critical cases. Detailed safety instructions guide pet owners on handling emergencies before arrival at our facility.
Grooming
Professional grooming services include baths, haircuts, nail trims, and dental cleanings using state-of-the-art facilities. Our stylists perform breed-specific grooming and skin care treatments while following strict hygiene protocols. Vaccination requirements ensure safety for all pets receiving grooming services at our hospital.
Laser Therapy
Cold laser therapy treats chronic pain, inflammation, and post-surgical recovery in pets. This non-invasive treatment uses specific light wavelengths to stimulate cellular repair and improve circulation. We offer customized treatment plans for conditions like arthritis and tendon injuries, providing an alternative to medication for sensitive patients.
