Pet Boarding
Our pet boarding service provides a safe, comfortable environment for dogs and cats when owners travel. Separate feline accommodations ensure stress-free stays for cats, while dogs enjoy spacious double runs and outdoor exercise areas. Our experienced staff offers customized care, including dietary management and daily playtime, with optional premium packages featuring photo updates and personalized reports. Veterinary oversight ensures medical needs are promptly addressed during your pet's stay.
Pet Dentistry
We provide comprehensive dental care including professional cleanings, periodontal treatment, and oral surgery. Our services address plaque removal, gum disease management, and tooth extractions using advanced imaging and anesthetic protocols. Preventive care education helps owners maintain their pet's oral health at home, reducing risks of systemic infections from untreated dental disease.
Orthopedic Surgery
Our surgical team specializes in treating fractures, cruciate ligament tears, hip dysplasia, and other musculoskeletal conditions. Procedures include fracture repair with implants, joint stabilization techniques, and corrective surgeries for developmental disorders. Post-operative care combines pain management with rehabilitation therapies to restore mobility and function.
Wellness Care
Our wellness programs emphasize early disease detection through annual exams, bloodwork, and age-specific screenings. Services include vaccination protocols, parasite prevention, nutritional counseling, and behavioral assessments. Tailored health plans help maintain optimal weight and address breed-specific health risks across all life stages.
Laser Therapy
We offer non-invasive laser treatments for pain relief and accelerated healing of musculoskeletal injuries. This therapy reduces inflammation and promotes tissue regeneration for conditions like arthritis, post-surgical recovery, and chronic joint pain. Treatments require no sedation and typically last 2-8 minutes per session.

One of the few USDA certified Vets in the area. My cat needed an international travel certificate. Great go, my cat liked it, meeow. The nail clipping is fantastic and a non-expected complimentary service. The price of the certificate was exactly as it is being charged by the USDA to the veterinarian without any added fees, this is in contrast to competitors who were adding fantasy numbers along with fantasy explanations. Thank you, a service I can and will definitely recommend.

Great team, they follow up with you and explain everything before and after the appointment. Doctor himself called to follow up as well and answer questions.

The only place I trust placing my 13 year old cat for boarding. Apparently, they say she has a sweet disposition. They must be doing something right. I know my pet as a diva. Very caring staff.

I've brought multiple animals to BAH since I've lived in Brookfield - over 20 years. They never let me down. They are responsive to the needs of the animals and gentle and understanding with the needs of the humans. I've ugly cried with abandon many times and always left knowing it was okay. Most recently my dog had a cyst that burst. He was fine but needed antibiotics and attention. They deftly fitted us in, taking advantage of a cancellation. The facility is so clean and professional; the vets are all excellent and the techs and support personnel are the best.
