Services
Pocket Pets & Exotics
Exotics and pocket pets might be small, but they are also mighty and they deserve – like humans and more conventional pet companions – the best of care. At North Oatlands Animal Hospital, we specialize in exotic pets and small mammals and their unique medical needs.
We recommend an annual wellness exam to be sure your exotic or small pet is healthy, and these exams give us a baseline for future reference in the event your pet ever falls ill.
Training
While it may be true that puppies don’t
come with instructions, counseling with our veterinarians about feeding,
housebreaking, socialization, and basic training will set your pup up for
success as a family member.
Next to good veterinary care, training and socializing your puppy are the two most important things you can do to ensure your pet has the best life possible. In addition to making your dog a well-behaved part of your pack,

Boarding & Daycare
We at North Oatlands Pet Center understand that leaving your pets behind when you travel – whether it’s for work, family, or fun – can cause you stress and sleepless nights. Worry no more. We offer full-service boarding for your dog or cat. And, should your pet get sick while you’re away, they’re in exactly the right place!
Our boarding areas are clean
and comfortable and designed to meet the unique needs of our dog and cat
clients.
Hospice & Euthanasia
At North Oatlands Animal Hospital we understand that it’s never easy to say goodbye to a beloved pet, and we want to help make that difficult time more manageable by providing compassionate hospice and euthanasia services for your animal companion. We offer those services at our hospital and via house call within our community.
We offer hospice services and will work with you to ensure
your pet’s comfort and dignity during his or her last days and final moments.
Pain Management
We take pain management very seriously because experiencing pain can affect the body’s physical functioning and can have a detrimental effect on a patient’s well-being and state of mind.
Our approach to pain management involves anticipating potentially painful procedures and taking steps to manage and minimize discomfort from the outset as well as continuing to manage pain throughout your pet’s treatment and recovery process. Our staff of caring professionals is skilled in recognizing signs of pain in animals and developing an individualized plan for managing pain in our patients.
Laser Therapy
Laser therapy is a painless, non-invasive and drug-free therapy used to treat a variety of injuries, wounds, fractures, neurological conditions, numerous dermatological problems, and pain. Whether your pet is rehabilitating from trauma or injury, healing from wounds or simply aging, your companion will benefit from this revolutionary new approach to pain management.
How It Works
Laser therapy focuses red and infrared light on tissue at and below the surface of the skin.
Microchipping
One of the worst feelings to experience as a pet owner is the
realization that your pet has gone missing. Only 17% of dogs and 2% of cats
make it back to their owners—which can make it seem like you’ll never see your
pet again if they get lost.
North Oatlands Animal Hospital wants to encourage you to consider microchipping your pet, even if they live entirely indoors–because even indoor pets can escape and become lost.
Dermatology
Itching, scratching, chewing and licking! Pets can develop a variety of skin conditions during their life, and we see many pets with skin problems and allergies, including food allergies. North Oatlands Animal Hospital can diagnose and treat most of your pet’s dermatology problems, including:
- Food and contact allergies
- Acute and chronic ear infections
- Acute moist dermatitis (hot spot)
- Allergic reactions to inhalants and fleas
- Parasites (fleas and mites)
- Autoimmune related skin diseases
- Infectious diseases (bacterial and fungal)
- Hormonal endocrine diseases
- Abnormal growths/masses on the skin
