Wellness Exams and Vaccines
We recommend bi-annual exams for pets as an essential part of their overall health care. Our technicians and veterinarians will ask about your pet’s behavior, lifestyle, diet, and exercise. We’ll also check on their current conditions, vaccination schedules, and past medical history. Complete Pet Dentistry
Our board-certified dentist and support staff offer a wide range

of dental care, including cleaning, extractions, and surgery. It’s important to control tartar build-up before it leads to problems such as gingivitis, abscesses, and periodontal disease, or more serious problems such as heart, liver and kidney disease. Pet Ultrasonography
Ultrasound allows us to look at a monitor and see the architecture of different organs and search for abnormalities like masses or foreign materials. We can also perform fine needle biopsies without the need for surgery. Pet Surgery
Various pet surgery options are available for your dog and/or cat including elective surgeries, soft tissue surgeries, and orthopedic surgeries. We always recommend a full physical examination of your pet to determine the best pre-surgical and surgical options. Pet Dermatology
There are hundreds of pet skin conditions recognized in dogs and cats. When unchecked, these pet skin conditions can get out of hand and cause major suffering to your pet. Our veterinarians are skilled in many diagnostic methods to determine the cause and prescribe the proper treatments for your pet’s problems. Pet X-ray Services
We offer digital radiography and review by a board-certified radiologist to quickly detect issues so that treatment can commence as soon as possible. Pet Cremation Services
Cremation can play an important role in helping you honor and remember a beloved pet that has passed away. We have our own crematory and will provide your pet with a respectful and dignified farewell. Pet Boarding
We provide pet boarding for dogs and cats. Our supervision includes exercise and feeding. Immunization is required. Pregnancy and Reproduction
A full range of reproductive services are available from ovulation timing to cesarean sections. Besides having the only active canine semen freezing lab in the state (at Waipahu Waikele location only), we have the experience you can trust when planning your breeding. Alternative Medicine
Pet Acupuncture can be used to treat a variety of disorders, including osteoarthritis, hip dysplasia, intervertebral disc disease, and forelimb or hind limb weakness due to nerve damage. Pet acupuncture is also widely used for many other conditions, such as liver and kidney disease, skin conditions, and reproductive disorders. Laser Therapy promotes healing in a safe, non-surgical way with no side effects. It can be used to treat arthritis, tendon and ligament injuries, general pain, degenerative joint conditions, neurological pain, and soft tissue injuries.

To our esteemed clients, friends, and family -
Mahalo for voting us Hawaii’s Best Veterinary Clinic for the 7th year in a row! 💙 Your continued support and tremendous love means the world to us; we are so lucky to be able to serve such a beautiful, tight-knit community full of aloha. Some of you have been bringing your senior dogs to us since they were only a few months old. We had the great pleasure of watching them grow in both size and presence within your lives. From beginning to end, it is always an honor to be a part of a pet’s life. And we will always be here to help celebrate it with you.

As many people now know, veterinary medicine is a physically and emotionally taxing field to work in. Though we post a lot of puppies and kittens, most of our days are spent with aging or ailing pets. Our emergency hospital - Waipahu Waikele Pet Hospital - sees numerous urgent care appointments every day including traumatic injuries, seizures, and euthanasias. Some days are tougher than others. Sometimes the entire week seems to be filled with despair and exhaustion. But anybody that works in the veterinary field can tell you that an immense love and passion for animals keeps us pushing through. Knowing that your community supports and appreciates your work makes those difficult days so much lighter - an affirmation that we are making a difference in the lives of both pets and people.

Mahalo nui loa,

This is Grim, a 3-year-old Siamese! He came to visit Dr. Peacott for a recheck of his skin (and to steal some Churu treats). Grim has developed eosinophilic plaques on his foot which are caused by an inappropriate immune response by immune cells called eosinophils.

Eosinophilic Granuloma Complex (EGC) is the broad term for this condition, encompassing three different kinds of skin lesions: eosinophilic plaques, eosinophilic granulomas, and indolent ulcers. This condition mainly affects cats and horses but has been documented in dogs as well.

Ulcers and granulomas are often found on the lips, chin, and inside the mouth and appear as pink/red areas of inflammation and swelling. Plaques present as bald patches with raised, irritated skin and can appear anywhere on the body (most commonly the hind legs and stomach). These lesions are often very itchy and painful which can lead incessant chewing or licking at the area. Cats can be affected by just one type of lesion or by two or three of them at the same time.

EGC is diagnosed by performing a fine needle aspiration or surgical biopsy of the lesions and sending the sample to a pathologist. It is important to note that many other conditions can cause skin lesions and a definitive diagnosis must rule out all other possibilities.

Treatment includes removing the cause of the immune system’s overreaction (i.e. allergens, food sensitivities, fleas, insect bites, etc.) and prescribing corticosteroids to suppress the immune system. Lesions are often chronic and recurring, making EGC a lifelong condition. With proper treatment, affected patients can have relatively normal and comfortable lives.

We caught this sweet moment between Dr. Morikami and one of Bellini’s pups! This little one is a 6-week-old Chinese Crested Dog. Though this breed is known by most people for being hairless, they can also be coated (known as “powderpuff”)!
💙
The powerderpuff variety was actually the origin of Chinese Crested breed. A spontaneous mutation resulted in the hairless phenotype that we know today.
💙
Coat type is determined by a single gene. This gene has two alleles (versions) and each parent contributes one of their two alleles to offspring. The hairless allele of this gene is notated as “Hr” while the coated allele is notated as “hr”. The hairless allele is incompletely dominant - even though it is dominant, receiving Hr from just one parent rather than both results in incomplete expression of that dominant gene. The result is called an “intermediate phenotype” and is the reason “hairless” CCDs are not actually completely hairless. Additionally, many of these dogs get show cuts and are shaved to fit the show standard. In reality, every hairless CCD has a different amount of hair!
💙
Receiving Hr from BOTH parents (“HrHr”) is lethal in utero and offspring with this genotype never make it past the embryonic stage. This means that ALL hairless CCDs are heterozygous dominant (“Hrhr”) and only have one copy of the hairless allele.
💙
Because the powederpuff allele, hr, is recessive, offspring MUST have two copies for that phenotype to be expressed. As such, all powderpuff CCDs have the genotype “hrhr”. This means that a mating between two powederpuffs will result in a litter with only powerderpuff puppies.
💙
Breeding a hairless to another hairless means that each puppy conceived has a 25% chance of receiving Hr from both parents (HrHr, lethal), a 50% chance of receiving Hr from one and hr from the other (Hrhr, Hairless), and a 25% chance of receiving hr from both parents (hrhr, powderpuff).

This is Bernie - we are assisting his owner in rehoming him. If you are interested in adopting him, please reach out to us either through Instagram DMs or by calling Waipahu Waikele Pet Hospital!
Read more about Bernie below 💙

Bernie is a Tibetan Spaniel mix and is 15 years old, 18lbs. His owner was recently hospitalized and was deeply saddened to realize she was “[no longer] in a position to offer Bernie the loving supportive care he deserves.” He has been with her for 15 years and has overcome many health issues of his own including paralysis caused by a spinal fracture (which he has completely recovered from)! He is a good-natured dog that enjoys walks and smelling the flowers. He loves to play with toys and enjoys standing in his small doggy pool on hot days. He is good with other small dogs and cats but has not had much interaction with larger dogs. He has some separation anxiety and does not like to be left home alone. He is a sweet boy but can be sassy and stubborn in his old age, occasionally choosing not to listen. As an older dog, he spends a lot of his time sleeping but is still as excited as a puppy when it comes to walks and playtime.

His owner and the staff at Waipahu Waikele Pet Hospital are working hard to find a family for Bernie to spend his twilight years with. Every dog deserves to live a life full of love - even those who’ve already lived most of it. Though his owner is heartbroken over having to let him go, she wants nothing more than for him to be happy and healthy for the rest of his days.

Again, if you or someone you know may be interested in adopting Bernie, please call our Waipahu Waikele location or message us on Instagram! We can give you more details or put you in contact with his owner. Mahalo for reading about Bernie 💙
