Wellness Exams
Our comprehensive wellness exams establish health baselines and detect early disease indicators through physical evaluations, lab work, and preventive care planning. Annual exams help maintain optimal health for pets at all life stages while building trust between animals and caregivers. Our AAHA-guided protocols ensure consistent, high-quality assessments.
Vaccinations
We provide core and non-core vaccinations tailored to each pet's lifestyle and risk factors. Our protocols follow AAHA guidelines while considering individual medical histories. From rabies to feline leukemia, our team educates owners about vaccine benefits and schedules to protect against preventable diseases.
Dental Care
Our dental services include routine cleanings, extractions, and periodontal treatments using digital radiography. We emphasize preventive care to avoid systemic infections from oral bacteria while addressing bad breath and tooth pain through modern veterinary dentistry techniques.
Pain Management
We offer multimodal pain management combining medications, laser therapy, and acupuncture. Specialized treatments like Librela for dogs and Solensia for cats target osteoarthritis pain, while our experienced team creates customized plans for post-surgical or chronic pain conditions.

We have been taking our pet to this facility for a few years now. It seems that for the first 2 years.things were great. The examinations were thorough and communicating with them went well. Of course, with the advent of COVID, things did change. We understand that. But it seems something has changed now and not for the better. First of all.when you call, no one answers the phone. Our calls are always forwarded to the voice mail. Assuring us that a reply with be within 24 hours.
The failure for this is 100%. No one ever calls back. So it takes repeated calls and days later a reply will be made. Our last wellness check was far from thorough. A temperature was not taken, nor were the lungs listened to. When my wife returned and shared this with me.we began looking for another place for vet services. The final straw was calling on Tuesday. Today, Friday, no one has called us back. We're done!

They have taken care of my animals for years. I would recommend them to everyone. If you have little time but have a question, you can always text and they will get back to you shortly

OMVH has been my vet for twenty years. I have also relied on them for twenty years for health care and boarding. I have always trusted their medical care and advice. I always knew my babies would be loved as well as cared for in their boarding facility. I especially appreciate their compassion as I have lost my beloved fur babies. Their compassion and tenderness didn't take away the pain but made it easier to bear.

We had to make the unfortunate decision to euthanize our 13 year old dog. Our usual vet was closed. They recommended Orchard Mesa Vet. They were overbooked, yet got me in. The entire staff was very compassionate and the vet (Nancy, I believe), was exceptional. Thank you.

Got me and my dog in when my normal vet was out of town, it cost more than I hoped to treat him, but they did a great job and explained all the pricing. JACK is doing great!

This team is the best! I have been there countless times for many different types of either appointments, emergencies, or even just calling them for general questions. I have never felt so confident that my animals are being taken care of with the best team, I couldn't thank them enough for such an amazing experience everytime I've been there. Thank you all so much for everything that you do! -Sammie, Buddy, Pluto & Gator.

Dr Tonya is phenomenal. We have used her for many years. I've had 4 pets seen by their office and they treated all wonderful. You can truly tell they love their work and the animals. They were compassionate when we had to put down our 10 yr old, Elvis. Even if it's been a long time since we've seen Dr Tonya, she remembers us and asks about our other pets and families. The office staff has always helped us and they always want to say hi to the animals when you bring them in while waiting. In short. We love this veterinary clinic.
