Services
General Wellness Exams
Our comprehensive wellness exams detect early signs of disease and maintain preventative care schedules. Veterinarians assess weight, dental health, organ function, and vaccination status while providing tailored healthcare recommendations. This service helps identify potential issues before they become serious health concerns.
Dental Care
We provide complete dental services including cleanings, extractions, and periodontal treatment. Annual dental exams prevent systemic infections from oral bacteria while professional cleanings remove plaque buildup under anesthesia for thorough care and patient comfort.
Orthopedic Surgery
Our surgical team specializes in procedures like Tibial Tuberosity Advancement (TTA) for ligament repairs and fracture corrections. Advanced techniques restore mobility and manage chronic conditions using precise diagnostic imaging and post-operative rehabilitation plans.
Diagnostic Ultrasound
Ultrasound technology evaluates internal organs, detects abnormalities, and guides biopsies without invasive procedures. This non-radiation imaging method provides real-time visualization of heart function, abdominal structures, and reproductive health assessments.
Emergency Care
We treat urgent medical conditions including trauma, poisoning, and acute illness during regular business hours. Our team stabilizes critical patients through intravenous fluids, pain management, and diagnostic testing to address life-threatening situations promptly.

Report
The staff showed great consideration for the needs of our dog. She is not cooperative with the idea of being at the vet's or being touched by strangers. She is also very large at 161 pounds and could cause some serious damage if someone is careless. They were very patient and listened to my concerns. Visit was great for the most part except for when my dog tried to eat the vet! A great place to take your animals, especially when they are less than cooperative with the visit!

Promptly greeted us upon entering. An assistant took us back to a room, went about getting info on my dogs health and behavior, my questions. Spent plenty of time with us. The Vet came in, had been briefed by the assistant and went over all my questions. Did not seem rushed and I felt I got the information I needed in a comfortable, clean and personable environment. Definitely 5 stars Dianne & Faith Lovejoy

They are so great with my dog! They really take a lot of extra time to make sure he feels comfortable. My previous vet was having to muzzle/restrain my dog because he had a bad experience at a vet previously. Central Oregon Animal is able to calmly handle my dog with zero restraints. He loves it there!

The staff at COAH are professional, and genuinely positive. They go out of their way towards comforting our dog that deals with anxiety. We truly appreciate the vet techs and Dr. Shondra is the best vet that we have experienced. I strongly recommend this veterinary service.

I haven't had a GREAT vet for quite some time. I have been to a few that were fine. They helped and resolved issues but that was about it. Spay, neuter done. But my experience recently with CO Animal Hosp was very different. We felt valued and cared for immediately. There were no long waits, the vet tech and the vet actually communicated so I didn't have to repeat myself. The dx and treatment were explained fully and even illustrated. All the staff made an effort to comfort my dog who was understandably afraid. I feel like we're in good hands at CO Animal Hospital.
