Compassionate Care’s philosophy is to focus on patient care as
well as client communications and client education. Our goal is
to provide the highest quality care to all of our patients. Every
effort will be made to combine the medical excellence found at
large hospitals with the individual attention and friendly
atmosphere of a small clinic.
We recommend routine screening for all healthy pets in order
to detect diseases early and prevent more serious problems
from occurring in the future. We sincerely believe that most
sick pets recover faster in a familiar environment, so,
whenever possible, we keep hospital stays to a minimum.
Compassionate Care Veterinary Center practices the safest
possible anesthesia and has extensive equipment for
monitoring all vital signs while our patients are under
anesthesia. All of our surgical patients go home with adequate
pain management designed around their individual needs.
