Services
Wellness Exams
Our comprehensive wellness exams detect health issues early through physical assessments and diagnostic testing. Veterinarians evaluate pets' eyes, ears, teeth, heart, lungs, skin, and weight while discussing nutrition and behavior. Senior pets receive bi-annual exams to monitor age-related conditions like arthritis and diabetes using in-house lab work and imaging technology.
Vaccinations
Customized vaccination protocols protect pets against preventable diseases following AAHA guidelines. We administer core vaccines like rabies and distemper while considering lifestyle factors for non-core vaccines. Puppies and kittens begin vaccinations at 6-8 weeks with booster schedules ensuring optimal immunity throughout different life stages.
Dental Care
Professional teeth cleanings under anesthesia prevent and treat periodontal disease using ultrasonic scalers and digital X-rays. Our dental services include extractions, oral mass removals, and polishing while educating owners on at-home care with specialized toothpaste, chews, and diet recommendations.
Surgery
We perform spays, neuters, tumor removals, and emergency procedures using laser technology that reduces bleeding and pain. Advanced monitoring equipment tracks vital signs during anesthesia while heated tables and IV fluids maintain patient stability throughout surgical procedures.
Emergency Care
Emergency services during business hours address critical conditions like trauma, poisoning, and breathing difficulties. Our team provides immediate stabilization for pets with severe vomiting, urinary blockages, or seizures while offering 24-hour nursing care for hospitalized patients requiring ongoing monitoring.

Do not use this veterinary hospital unless you want to be ripped off. They try to give shots that are unnecessary and take advantage of young people. Our daughter missed an appointment and was charged $50.00 which she paid and then they made her pre-pay her next appointment which is not stated anywhere on their website. Bait and switch practices. When I called for a refund was put on hold for ever while they tried to figure this out.
They are not trustworthy and would never recommend using them to anyone. They told me that the pre-payment after missing an appointment is in their financial policy and told my daughter they just implemented it. Which is it? How can you trust you pet to a business that can't even publish their policy or state when they went into effect.

We have been taking our pets to Limerick Vet for years now. While we have been to other veterinary practices in the past, none have came close to the compassion, expertise and care that Limerick Vet has given us. Limerick's staff is top tier, from the office/reception staff to the technicians (a huge shout out to Katie and Linda!), they truly care and love animals. Dr. Pfluger and Dr. Donahue have been seeing our cats and dogs over the years and we have nothing but the most positive experiences. I always find myself raving about how amazing our Vets are to my animal loving friends/family. Thank you to Limerick for taking such fantastic care of our fur babies.

Yesterday afternoon, my cat unexpectedly passed away. Despite this not being our normal vet, the individuals working there were kind in helping me with the process. We arrived with my little man and despite the 1 person per pet rule, they allowed my boyfriend and I to come in and say goodbye to him one last time. I can't speak to them as a vet per-se, but I can assure you that if half of the compassion I saw yesterday is given to your pet, you will be in good hands. Thank you to everyone at Limerick Veterinary Hospital for the kindness you showed.

New to the area and tried to get an appointment for my sick cat. We're first able to get me in the next day, but then when I told them I've never been there before, they couldn't get me in until the end of the month. They really don't care about new business I guess.

Limerick vet is the complete package. Our dog Moose and cat Marji have gone there since we got them and they've been in such good hands. We've been through ringworm and fleas and neutering. All handled with excellent care and tons of compassion. Prices are comparable to what I'd expect to pay for elsewhere and I love that we can take Moose to the daycare (Happy Tails) and not worry if something happens because they handle all his records and care.
He is well loved and has so much fun at daycare and boarding. Also bonus points that they'll work with you if your dog hasn't been fixed yet and they always carefully manage playgroups to prevent incidents. Can't recommend them enough.

Our dog has been a member of this Vet office since we brought her home at 7 weeks home. She's now 3 years old and has always received exceptional doggy day care services and exceptional medical/well care services. Excellent Vets, staff and leadership!
