Wellness Care
Our comprehensive wellness programs include annual exams, bloodwork, and tailored vaccination schedules to maintain optimal pet health. We create customized preventive plans based on age, breed, and lifestyle factors. Early disease detection through routine screenings helps extend pets' lifespans while reducing long-term medical costs.
Emergency Care
Available 24/7 for critical pet conditions requiring immediate attention. Our equipped facility handles trauma, poisoning, breathing difficulties, and other life-threatening emergencies. Board-certified staff provide rapid diagnostics and stabilization before specialist referral when needed. Continuous overnight monitoring ensures critical patients receive timely care.
Dental Care
Complete dental services from routine cleanings to complex oral surgeries. Digital radiography identifies hidden dental disease while ultrasonic scaling removes plaque buildup. We treat periodontal disease, perform extractions, and offer home care guidance to maintain oral health between professional cleanings.
Vaccinations
Core and elective vaccination protocols protect pets against common infectious diseases. Our veterinarians recommend personalized schedules based on risk factors and local regulations. Annual boosters maintain immunity while antibody titer testing determines individual vaccine needs for senior pets or those with medical histories.
Surgical Services
Advanced surgical capabilities include soft tissue procedures, orthopedic repairs, and spay/neuter operations. Pre-anesthetic blood testing ensures patient safety while laser technology reduces post-operative discomfort. We perform abdominal exploratories, mass removals, and fracture repairs using modern equipment and pain management protocols.

Arrowhead Animal Hospital is truly the best. We took our sweet Hades into an emergency check up since he was experiencing sudden symptoms. Upon our arrival we checked in and a vet tech came to take a look at our boy. Immediately she assessed his health and took him in for treatment. Unfortunately, our boy did not make it. During the time he was there the vet techs were very attentive to him and us.
They were patient and explained everything we needed to know. They let us be with him during his treatment. Once the decision was made they took us into a different room which was set up comfortably to say our goodbyes and be with our boy for the last time. Everyone was so nice and caring and made this horrible situation a little more bearable. My husband and I are super appreciative of the staff. Thank you all.

First time bringing my older cat here. Dr Fields and her tech were so kind and knowledgeable. I explained my concerns with them and we came up with a treatment plan. They listened and I truly appreciate that. I know my boy better than anyone and they understand that. Goose is on the mend, thanks to them. They don't charge and arm and a leg either. I feel the pricing was spot on. Every member of their care team has been so helpful. From the multiple calls I had made prior to my visit to the follow up. Yup, these guys are awesome!

I took my little guy here last night after he ate half of a bar of dark chocolate and the staff was fantastic. They got him in very quickly and did all that they could to get everything out of his system. After everything, he was back to his normal self and showed affection to the people who just spent 30 minutes making him puke. They're just that great! Even just hearing the staff talk to each other in another room, you can tell that they work as a team and that they really love their patients. I highly recommend them for your emergencies!

I have had very few good experiences at the vet in a urgent situation. The staff here are great! My dog completely broke her nail and the vet technician was the best with our scared little girl! The vet was great as well, made sure she was as comfortable as she could be without any unnecessary drugs. Now after our visit she is comfy and her happy self. Thank you to all the staff for making this experience truly one of a kind.

All of the staff are wonderful. Their quick reaction to our sick dog was very appreciated. Also, their diagnosis helped our dog heal quickly. We've used them several times and all have been exemplary! Can't recommend them enough!
