Parkcrest Veterinary Hospital

Parkcrest Veterinary Hospital was originally located in the Parkcrest Shopping Center. Dr Sherman came to the practice in 1989. She was joined by Dr. Ziegler in 1992 and by Dr Garoutte in 2000.

We moved into our new facility located on Republic Road in January of 2003. We are proud of our state-of-the-art facility and would love to have your stop by for a visit. We also now are able to offer boarding and grooming at Holiday Boarding and Grooming located in the same facility.

Our mission statement: Our hospitals mission is to offer up-to-date, high quality small animal veterinary services in a courteous, caring, and professional manner so that our patients can have a life-time of good health.

Services

General surgery - A physical exam is done on all patients prior to surgery and anesthetics are specifically tailored to your pet. A veterinary nurse monitors the patient using a pulse oximeter, respiratory monitor and continuous EKG. Pain medication is administered before and after the surgical procedure and sent home to keep your pet comfortable.

Dentistry - We offer routine and advanced dental procedures. We use ultrasonic scalers to clean each tooth thoroughly above and below the gum line. Dental radiology is used to further aid us in diagnosis of dental disease. We also perform root canals, extractions and periodontal treatments. Please see our dental page.

On-site laboratory - Our on-site laboratory allows us to do a wide variety of testing in-house. Testing includes Heartworm, Lymes and Ehrlichia testing, Feline Immunodeficiency Virus and Feline Leukemia testing. Chemistry analysis, hematology, urinalysis, fecal testing, and in-house cultures are also performed.

Complete Pharmacy - We stock a wide variety of veterinary drugs. We are also able to get hard to find drugs from compounding pharmacies and they also allow us to formulate flavored medications for hard to pill pets.

Vaccinations - Our vaccinations are based on a risk assessment for each patient.

Reproduction counseling - We offer ovulation timing, vaginal smears, artificial insemination, pregnancy ultrasound and caesarian sections when needed.

Nutrition counseling - We offer nutritional counseling for each life stage. We carry a variety of pet foods and have nutritional supplements that aid in disease prevention and treatment.

Dermatology - We offer allergy blood testing and treatment.

Microchip and tattooing - Placing a microchip gives a form of permanent identification that cannot be altered. It also gives you a better chance of being reunited with your pet if they are ever lost.
