At Chelsea Animal Hospital, we believe that a physically, mentally, and emotionally cared for pet is a happy, healthy pet.

Mental health is just as important as physical health. We incorporate services like behavior consultations, suggestions for mental stimulation, and socialization opportunities. We understand and educate about the signs of anxiety and stress in dogs and offer solutions such as calming therapies.
Physical health is more than just regular walks. Integrating varied and mentally stimulating exercises can significantly improve a dog’s physical and mental health. We now offer many enrichment tools and we would be happy to help you choose something to help your pet. Additionally, we offer services for canine physical therapy, and acupuncture that can address specific health concerns in a non-invasive way.
We practice fear free treatment of our clients.
A happy, healthy pet is much less likely to be relinquished.

TIS' the Season
Keep pets safe during holidays by maintaining routines, providing a quiet space away from guests, securing decorations like Christmas trees and lights, keeping toxic human foods (chocolate, onions, grapes, xylitol) and alcohol out of reach, and ensuring pets wear ID tags or are microchipped in case they escape during the commotion. Manage holiday stress with extra exercise and calm time, and plan for safe travel by packing essentials and checking with your vet.
