Golden Valley-Brookview Animal Hospital

Welcome! We hope this visit to our site is to learn more about how we care for your pet. From our team of specially picked, professionally trained pet lovers to our up-to-date, pet-friendly surroundings we have taken every care to make sure your special companions are provided with the exceptional medical services they need. We invite you to revisit our site reguarly for updated pet care tips, special offers and news items of interest. If this is your first visit, take a moment to 'meet' our staff and learn more about our services. Service Descriptions: Surgery Should your pet need surgery, rest assured it will receive the best of care. We utilize sterile procedures and the safest anesthetics available. Your pet will be monitored closely during its surgery with modern equipment including electrocardiographs and pulse oximeters. Board certified veterinary surgeons are available for unusual or difficult cases. We specialize in tender loving care! Preventive Medicine Our goal is to help your pet stay happy and healthy well into its golden years. Preventing your pet from becoming ill is easier and much less costly than treating a disease once it develops. Pets today live much longer, healthier, more active lives just like their human companions. We know that early screening for disease will keep your pet on the road to health. Annual physical examinations, laboratory screening and those protective vaccinations that are necessary based on your pet’s individual exposure to disease are strongly advised. Laboratory Our in-hospital laboratory is equipped for immediate laboratory analysis in a medical emergency as well as for the routine screening of pre-surgical patients. We also work closely with a large national veterinary reference laboratory. This lab supports us with overnight results, along with excellent veterinary specialist review and consultation services Pharmacy Our in-hospital pharmacy stocks a large variety of medications. Your pet’s medication will be selected by our veterinary staff for its safety, effectiveness and ease of use. Prescriptions are professionally prepared and are often ready for you to take home just minutes after your pet’s appointment. We can also compound most medications into a tasty liquid that makes it easier for you to give to your pet. Dentistry Is your pet’s smile a little dull? Could his breath knock you over? We offer state-of-the-art digital dental x-rays, ultrasonic tooth scaling and sub-gingival scaling, followed by full polishing, all performed while your pet is under light anesthesia. When extractions are needed, this can be done safely and painlessly. Once your pet’s teeth and gums are clean and healthy, ask us about home care so you can keep your pet’s smile bright. Remember, pets need dental care, too! Boarding We offer boarding for dogs, cats, birds and other exotic animals when your pet needs a home away from home. We have runs for large dogs, as well as kennels for pets of various sizes. Call and ask for a tour! Boarders must be current on their vaccinations, including Bordetella (kennel cough) for dogs. We will be happy to update your pet’s vaccinations, if necessary, when it comes in for boarding. Because our boarding facilities can fill up quickly, please make your boarding reservation well in advance. Grooming We can bathe and brush your pet and send it home looking and smelling great. For more in-depth grooming and trimming we suggest Brookview Pet Boutique in the Golden Valley Shopping Center or Pups & Stuff, a separate business located next to our Golden Valley-Brookview office located in the Town Square Center. Please schedule your pet’s grooming by appointment. Diagnostic Imaging Located at our Golden Valley-Brookview office, our x-ray machine and automatic film processing equipment enables us to obtain high quality diagnostic information about your pet’s condition in a matter of minutes. Should your pet need an ultrasound, echocardiogram or ultrasound-guided biopsy, we have several board-certified radiologists available to come to either of our clinics to provide your pet with those services. Avian and Exotic Care We welcome unusual pets as well. Our professionals have experience with many species and we are glad to treat your birds, ferrets, rabbits, guinea pigs, reptiles and other “exotic” species. We also board birds and other exotic pets. Senior Wellness Did you know that dogs and cats are considered seniors at the age of seven? Senior pets are susceptible to a variety of ailments; for that reason we recommend frequent physical exams and labwork. We can recommend any diet changes, medications or lifestyle changes that can help your pet live a long and happy life. Please ask us about our senior wellness packages! Veterinary Acupuncture Dr. Leslie Goldblatt is certified in Veterinary Acupuncture. Currently, she is performing acupuncture on a number of patients with good results. Acupuncture can be used to help treat a variety of problems ranging from arthritis to internal illnesses and diseases.
