Benefits of Working With a Knowledgeable Pet Hospital

Your pet's medical needs are often very similar to your own, with one notable difference: your pet can't tell you what's wrong if he or she isn't feeling well. In addition, many pets may feel anxious about visiting any veterinary clinic, especially if it's not a familiar setting. This can make emergencies even more stressful. When you develop a relationship with a local pet hospital, you and your pet benefit in several ways. We will be familiar with your pet's medical history, allowing us to quickly diagnose and treat many common issues and provide relief as soon as possible. Your pet also learns to be more comfortable with us; as animal lovers, we will make every visit as enjoyable as possible! This makes emergency visits to the pet hospital easier for everyone. Finally, developing a relationship with our staff makes pet owners more comfortable as well; you'll know you can trust your furry family member to our experienced care.

Advanced Veterinary Procedures at Our Pet Hospital

In addition to our preventive veterinary services, the following advanced procedures are available at Buffalo Gap Road Animal Clinic:

● Pain management

● Dental surgery & care

We are committed to providing the maximum level of care available for all sorts of pets throughout the area.

Abilene's Trusted Exotic Animal Vet

An exotic pet is something off the "mainstream" path of pet ownership; it can be anything from a lizard or reptile to a bird, a hedgehog, a rabbit, or even a squirrel or sugar glider. Many pet clinics consider anything that is not a dog or cat to be "exotic." Our clinic has the experience to treat your exotic animal. There are a number of reasons why you should visit a designated exotic animal vet:

● Treat Your Pet's Unique Needs: Every pet has specific needs, particularly exotic animals. We can help you access the medications and treatment options that your pet needs.

● We Know How to Handle Your Pet: As with any animal, your pet will feel more at ease at the vet if they are handled correctly. Our staff knows how to deal with all kinds of small mammals and reptiles so that your pet is safe and comfortable throughout the appointment.

● Specialty Equipment: If your pet needs a procedure done, an exotic animal vet will have any specific equipment that might be necessary.

● Knowledge & Experience: Vets who are used to working with exotics will understand more about the basic care and preventative services that these pets need. Not all vets are familiar with the extra care and maintenance that exotic pets need; our staff is well-equipped to keep your pet happy and healthy.
