At Noah's Ark, we partner with you to provide the best in veterinary care for your pets. Our Wellness Programs allow us to become more proactive in your pet's health. By focusing on the appropriate screening tests, our intent is to find small problems early on, before your pet experiences any medical problems. The mission of Noah's Ark Veterinary Hospital is to provide the highest quality veterinary care so your pet can live the happiest and healthiest lives.

24 Hour Emergency Service

We have staff on site 24 hours and a veterinarian available 24 hours a day/7 days a week.

Individualized Patient Care

At Noah's Ark Veterinary Hospital we recognize that each patient is unique. We do not believe in cookie-cutter wellness programs, but instead will craft a complete wellness plan based on your pet as an individual. We will make recommendations based on your pet's breed, age, gender, environment, personality and medical history. Our staff will take the time to educate you about these recommendations and clearly explain what you can learn from the proposed diagnostic testing or treatment plan.

Acupuncture/Herbal Therapy

Noah's Ark provides Integrative Veterinary Medicine. This is the practice of blending Western and Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine. Acupuncture and Herbal therapy are two modalities that are used to promote health and provide balanced care.

Bereavement Counseling

We understand how very difficult it is to lose a beloved pet. Our compassionate staff is here to help during your bereavement.

Comprehensive Physical Examinations

Early detection of health problems can allow for prompt treatment. At least once, and perhaps twice per year, your pet should have a complete physical examination. Remember, your pet's lifespan is shorter than ours and their health can change significantly over a 12-month period.

Puppy and Kitten Examinations and Vaccinations

Young puppies and kittens should receive their physical examination and first set of vaccinations at six to nine weeks of age. Additional exams and vaccinations are given every two to four weeks until they are twelve to sixteen weeks old. Thereafter regular booster vaccinations should be given. During your pet's initial examinations you will also receive behavioral advice, nutritional counseling, and recommendations on disease prevention. This advice can go a long way towards preventing problems in your pet's adult life.

Dental Services and Teeth Cleaning

Proper dental care is as important for your pet as it is for you. In addition to preventing bad breath and periodontal disease it can also prevent infection from spreading through the blood stream to your pet's liver, kidneys, and heart. This bacterial shower can lead to permanent organ damage affecting your pet's overall health.

Note: Dental cleanings must be scheduled two weeks in advance of any Wellness Package in order to receive a discounted rate. If additional dental procedures are required at the time of the dental cleaning (for example, extractions) this will be discussed and a treatment plan provided.

Spay & Neuter

Each day 10,000 humans are born in the U.S. and each day 70,000 puppies and kittens are born. As long as these birth rates exist, there are not enough homes for all the animals. As a result, every year 4 to 6 million animals are euthanized because there are no homes for them.
Spay and neuter your pet! In addition to saving lives, spaying and neutering can also drastically improve your pet's health and life expectancy. The idea that pets become fat or lazy when they are spayed or neutered is a myth. Sterilized pets lead healthier, longer lives. Spaying a female eliminates the possibility of uterine and ovarian cancer and greatly reduces the risk of breast cancer. Neutering a male reduces the risk of prostate disease and testicular cancer. Neutering also makes your pet more affectionate and less likely to roam, get in fights, or become lost.

Laser Surgery

Noah's Ark Veterinary Hospital has state-of-the-art laser equipment. The use of laser in surgery creates less bleeding than traditional surgery and seals nerve endings to create a more comfortable recovery for your pet.

Pain Control

At Noah's Ark veterinary Hospital we strive to keep your pet as pain-free and comfortable as possible. We know that pain can significantly decrease quality of life, can delay healing, and if not properly treated can lead to chronic pain states. Whether pain is from surgery or from chronic conditions such as arthritis or cancer, our staff will provide you with the knowledge and treatment options best suited for your pet’s comfort.

Nutritional Counseling

We carry prescription diet foods and special low fat treats. Please check with your veterinarian for information regarding your pets specific nutritional needs.

Pet Identification and Microchip System

A microchip is a tiny electronic device, about the size and shape of a grain of rice. It is implanted beneath a pet's skin between the shoulder blades, and stays there for the pet's entire life. This procedure is as easy and as painless as a vaccination.

Each microchip has a unique number. This number, along with information about the owner and pet, are added to a national pet registry. Most veterinary hospitals and animal shelters have electronic scanners for detecting and reading these implanted microchips. If a lost pet is found and a microchip is scanned the registry is called and the owner can be contacted.

State of the Art Diagnostic Equipment

Includes digital full body x-ray, digital color Doppler Ultrasound, digital dental and portable dental x-ray and laser surgery capability.

Diagnostic Laboratory Testing

Our extensive laboratory services provide information that is critical to the sick or injured pet. We have access to both an in-house and centralized reference laboratory for extensive diagnostic testing, allowing animals to receive appropriate treatment in a timely manner.

In-House Laboratory

We are equipped with sophisticated instruments that allow us to measure many laboratory values.

As a compliment to our regular laboratory services, our in-house diagnostic capabilities allow us to get results pre-surgically, or in an emergency, within minutes

Surgical Care

Our hospital is well-equipped to perform most minor and major surgical procedures from spays and neuters to more complicated emergency, orthopedic and soft tissue surgeries.

Prior to surgery, each patient receives a thorough physical examination to identify any existing medical conditions that might endanger your pet's health. Because not all problems can be detected on examination, we also suggest preanesthetic blood & urine testing. These tests not only give us a more complete picture of your pet's health, but also allow us to tailor an anesthetic regime that is specific for your pet.

We offer a wide variety of anesthetic protocols tailored to your pet's individual needs. We use state-of-the-art anesthetic machines offering both isoflurane and sevoflurane anesthesia. Please discuss these options with our staff. We also utilize a variety of anesthetic monitoring devices including Doppler blood pressure monitors, respiratory monitors, and other cardiac monitoring equipment.

Pain management is an important part of our pre-operative, intra-operative and post-operative anesthetic and medical protocol. All surgical patients, including those undergoing routine procedures such as ovariohysterectomy or castrations, receive pain control medications. We urge you to discuss operative pain management options with our staff.

Pharmacy

We stock an extensive drug inventory so medications can be dispensed before leaving the clinic.

Radiology

We have a state-of-the-art x-ray machine that produces excellent quality radiographs (X-rays). Radiographs are extremely helpful for diagnosing and monitoring many medical and surgical problems.

Vaccinations and Preventative Medicine

Due to the many recent discoveries and innovations in veterinary medicine your pet can be protected against most major infectious diseases. Today many immunizations and preventative treatments are available that did not exist a decade ago. Our staff can assist you in deciding which preventative measures are necessary for your pet.

Senior Pet Care and Geriatric Pet Evaluations

In recent years, great strides have been made in recognizing the special needs and requirements of our "senior citizen" dogs and cats. Our veterinarians are well equipped with the knowledge and diagnostic tools to identify age related problems and formulate realistic strategies to allow our pets to live longer and healthier lives. If your dog is seven to nine years of age or older (depending on breed) or your cat is ten years of age or older, it is now in its geriatric years. We will be happy to discuss with you our recommendations for geriatric testing and geriatric diets.
