We built our practice to cradle every pet’s emotional and physical well-being.
The veterinarians at Ironhorse Veterinary Care work to make your pet’s experience as comfortable and low-stress as possible using a variety of techniques. Our principles for stress-free, compassionate care include:
Calm Arrival
We help the pet owner deliver a calm pet to the clinic. We realize certain pets may benefit from pain relief or anxiety medication in advance of the appointment.
Limited Waiting in Lobby
When possible, we minimize the use of the clinic greeting area for scheduled appointments.
Treats Everywhere
We generously offer the pet’s favorite treats throughout the visit.
Specialized Design
Dogs and cats have separate designated exam rooms that are built specifically for each species.
Calm Space
We provide a sense of calm in the specialized exam rooms through the use of species-specific pheromones, wall coverings and tranquil music. We are trained to avoid eye contact and to allow sniffing and areas to hide.
Pets Decide
Your pets determine their preferred place to be examined and the best method of positional compliance.
Thoughtful Approach
We use distraction techniques for invasive procedures and small-gauge needles for vaccinations.
First-Rate Technology
We apply digital technology to expedite and improve accuracy of dental and full-body imaging results. Our surgeons use warming blankets for surgical patients.
Expert Medical Care
Our doctors have extensive medical experience with both dogs and cats. We are highly acclaimed for our soft tissue surgery, pet dentistry, and oral surgical care.
