West Park Animal Hospital

We loveee our senior patients! 😍🐕🐈‍⬛ Did you know most pets are considered 'senior' around 7 years old? 😮 While it might not be time for them to sign up for their AARP card just yet, it is recommended to have senior pets examined bi-annually!

At this life stage, we like to monitor their joint health, weight management as well as checking for early signs of age-related issues (like arthritis or kidney disease).
They've been there for us all these years -- let's be there for them 🌞

Our veterinary technician Karli, and her sweet girl Wilma, are suited up for a laser therapy treatment! ✨
Wilma has arthritis in her knees, so she receives laser therapy to help relieve the inflammation and discomfort associated with this. 🎉

🐾This method of therapy is a painless, non-invasive treatment that uses focused light to help reduce pain and inflammation, as well as enhance blood flow and tissue repair.
🐾We use laser therapy to help our patients with many ailments- from ear infections to wounds, arthritis to cystitis and even on our post-op spay, neuter and dental incisions! 👍

You see how we trim kitty nails with little to no restraint? We don't scruff cats here. We don't force elective procedures. We're very demure, very low-stress. Very mindful of their mental health. Cutesy. ✨️

It's Veterinary Receptionist Week! 🥳

If there's anything that we can agree on as a team, it's that our outstanding Client Service Reps have one of the hardest jobs in the veterinary profession. Yet, these three gals still show up with a smile on their face, ready to tackle the day and help our patients and clients! 🥹

Isa, Summer & Lauren - thank you for all you do everyday! We appreciate you and are so glad you're here with us! ❤

We'd like to take a moment to remind our WPAH family of Dr. Reitz's medical leave. After her scheduled medical procedure, she will be out of the office for an anticipated 4 week recovery (starting January 24th). During this time, Dr. Churchill will be the sole veterinarian caring for our clients and patients. We wish Dr. Reitz the best during her procedure and are sending her speedy + positive vibes during her recovery! ❤💐🐾
