We are happy to provide preventive care, as well as comprehensive illness and end of life care. Pittsburgh Premier Veterinary Care and Rehabilitation Center is a full service veterinary hospital including wellness, sick, surgical and rehabilitation services. We offer all aspects of preventative care; including but not limited to annual physical examinations, all core and ancillary vaccinations, he

artworm and Lyme disease testing, and flea, tick, and heartworm preventions. Schedule and appointment with one of our veterinarians to discuss which preventative care options are best to optimize the health of your pet. For our sick patients we strive to offer a high quality of care utilizing in house diagnostics which allow us to get answers the same day as your appointment. These include in house blood work, x-rays, ultrasound, urinalysis, and cytology. Additionally, we work in conjunction with outside laboratories which allow us to send out other tests we cannot perform in house. We also offer an extensive surgery service including ovariohysterectomy (spay), castration (neuter), gastropexy, mass/tumor removal, various ophthalmic surgical procedures, various abdominal soft tissue surgeries, cesarean section, limb amputations, and dental prophylactic scaling and polishing. Our anesthetic procedure patients are treated to a gold standard of care. All surgery services include a pre-anesthetic exam with the veterinarian, pre-anesthetic blood panel, peri-operative pain management, and post-op cold laser therapy (when appropriate). A trained veterinary technician is dedicated to monitoring your pet while under anesthesia using a pulse-ox, continuous ECG, continuous blood pressure monitoring, and internal body temperature. All surgical patients are monitoring in recovery for a period of up to two hours post-anesthesia. A final exam is performed before discharge is permitted. Additionally, we have an expanding canine physical therapy and rehabilitation portion of our practice. This is a fast growing subset of veterinary medicine that has been proven to be beneficial in anything from post surgical healing and wound care to weight loss, aging patients with arthritic and degenerative changes, and patients with neuromuscular issues. Services at this time include therapeutic laser therapy well as hydrotherapy on our water treadmill, with plans to add to this as time goes on. We understand that this can be a difficult time and decision to make for most people and we strive to practice the highest quality of medicine to ensure the wellbeing of our patients. We will work with you to make sure that they are kept comfortable and will offer our medical expertise and advocate for them. We offer a variety of cremation services and will handle your loved ones is best accordance to your wishes.

We love Cesar and appreciate you guys for all that you do! 🐾🤍

This guy is ready for his weekend. Cesar lives in a shelter with his owner and he is beloved by the other residents. Once a month, we take Cesar to Pittsburgh Premier Veterinary Care to get his allergy shot, but they also give him a complimentary bath and lots of loving. We’re so grateful for our partner Vets, like Premier, who support our mission and go beyond what is asked of them. And thank you Rachel Rosnick for your help today!

☀️🐾 Hot pavement alert! As temperatures rise, so does the risk of paw burns. Protect your pet’s toes by testing the pavement with your hand—if it's too hot for you, it's too hot for them! Opt for walks during cooler hours and stick to grassy areas when possible. Let's keep those paws cool and happy this summer!

Happy Monday everyone! We hope all of you lovely people got to enjoy some beautiful April sunshine outside today with your fur babies! 🐾☀️🌼🌸 We wanted to show off Mr. Bowser who has come in the past two weeks for our hydrotherapy! This cute video was him last week on the treadmill. 🥰 *All photos posted with owner consent*

Happy Monday everyone!! What a great way to start the week with handsome Mr. Oslo who came in this morning for his laser and hydro therapy appointment with Dr. Juriga and our technicians! 🫶🏻💗🐾 We are fortunate enough to offer hydro and / or laser therapy at our office on Monday’s and certain Friday’s during the week - call to inquire if you are interested in seeing if your fur baby would be a good candidate. 🥰 *All photos posted with owner consent*

It’s Tuukka Tuesday! 😆 Fun fact from Tuukka; dogs are naturally omnivores & can snack on certain fruits and vegetables as supplements implemented into their diet, where cats are more primarily carnivores. 🐶🐱 Here’s a cute little vid of miss Tuukka enjoying her veggie snack. 😆😆

What a wonderful week it was! We were fortunate enough to perform three c-sections and deliver lots of healthy little nuggets, thanks to our fantastic surgeon Dr. Bruno. 🥰🤍 We hope everyone’s week was as special as ours was! *All photos posted with owner consent*

Nancy Frieze our PT working with a dog that has paralyzed hind legs in the underwater treadmill! Call us with any questions!

Just had a successful C-Section on a French Bulldog named Piper. All 8 puppies (8th puppy being quite a surprise) made it out successfully. Dr. Judy Kuechenmeister and staff along with a lovely client and the owner of Piper did an amazing job. Greatest noise had to be the sound of those whiny puppies.
