Advanced Veterinary Hospital is a modern well equipped fully computerized veterinary hospital. We focus on providing high quality compassionate small animal medicine and surgery. Our goal is to treat your pets like the family members they are. Educating pet owners is one of our primary missions so we spend a lot of time with our owners so they can ask questions that are important to them. Most of our routine healthcare is performed in our examination rooms with the owner present so you can be part of your pet's healthcare. Our practice offers a comprehensive array of pet healthcare services from routine vaccination and parasite testing to internal medicine, hospitalization and advanced diagnostic testing. We have a state of the art surgery suite with electrosurgery and vital signs monitoring to ensure your pet's safety from routine spays to cancer surgery. All of our surgical procedures include comprehensive pain control strategies for your pet's comfort. We also offer behavior and nutritional counseling and practice the latest fear free handling techniques.

Dr. Gerard and Ms. Lois are awesome and went above and beyond to take care of our fur baby. They showed sympathy and compassion, they have provided care for our pets for 22 years wouldn’t think of taking our fur babies anywhere else or entrust their care to anyone else.

This place shows no compassion. I am 17 years old and home alone with my dog while my parents are away for 2 weeks. He had his paw stuck in a bear trap and I explained to the receptionist that his paw was in half. I asked if the bill could be sent to my house so my parents could pay when they returned and she told me no and when I asked if I was out of luck she said “what do you want me to do about it?” My dog is now shaking and bleeding out bc no one is able to offer me a bit of grace. If you’re unable to pay a fee upfront because emergencies are unexpected DO NOT GO HERE.

The biggest thank you to the Advanced Veterinary team. Our poor cat woke up from a nap, trembling from pain at 5 pm. Before 6 PM, my cat had pain medicine administered with a follow-up plan for the next day. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. I am incredibly thankful for her examination, as Dr.Gerard quickly found the source of pain and noticed clues of a food allergy that previous vets had missed. Gratefully, my cat received treatment for pain and her new diagnosis before the long (and stressful) 4th of July weekend. After examination she was back to the fun happy cat we had before she was experiencing symptoms. We just moved into town and will be making sure to keep our fur family with Advanced Veterinary Hospital.
