What To Expect
Become A New Patient at Desert Hills Animal Clinic
Veterinary Resources
Once a year, you should take your pet in for a check-up. This will include a full physical exam, and may include teeth and gum cleaning if needed. Our veterinarians will check the health of your pet from head to tail, and you will be very happy you came to Desert Hills Animal Clinic for service.
Bring in any medical history you have of your pet when you come to our vet clinic. It’s best to keep a journal of your pet’s health throughout his or her life, including behavioral shifts. If you have something like this, share it with our team. If not, let us know everything that you think will be important. Our veterinarians can still work with whatever information you have.
In some circumstances, our veterinarians will refer you to a specialist who has advanced expertise in areas such as internal medicine or surgery.
Hospitalization
Some illnesses require that your pet be hospitalized so that appropriate therapy and diagnostic testing may be performed. The duration of the stay with us will vary depending upon your pet’s condition and age. We will make your pet as comfortable as possible during his or her stay away from home.
The doctor or technician will call you with a progress report each morning after all lab work and evaluations are completed. Our doctor and staff work as a team and continuity of patient care is assured. Visitation is by arrangement with the doctor if it is deemed advisable.
ICU – Our ICU cages allow the supervision by our doctors and staff so that we may closely monitor your pet’s progress throughout his or her illness.
Isolation ICU – Our clinic has a totally separate isolation unit to prevent pets with contagious diseases from exposing pets that are hospitalized with non-communicable diseases.
