Your puppy or kitten needs to see the veterinarian as soon as you know you are receiving a new member of the family. Immediate concerns are parasites and contagious diseases. Parasites are not only life threatening to your pet, but they can also put your family at risk for serious disease. Providing your puppy or kitten protection from contagious diseases as soon as possible helps keep it safe and healthy. The veterinarian at Hope Animal Hospital has put together plans that make sure that your new family member gets the proper pediatric medical care in order to keep both your pet and your family safe and happy. There are silver, gold, and platinum plans that offer increasing levels of care and value for your pet and protect you from high veterinary bills during what can be a very critical period in a pet's life. The staff and veterinarian at Hope Animal Hospital constantly review and update their skills and technology so that they can make sure that they can offer you the highest level of care at all times. They take great pride in their high standards of pet and client care. Some training is conducted in the St. Louis area, but occasionally the veterinary staff will find it necessary to travel elsewhere to get the best training.

Although certain medical conditions may cause concern for anesthesia this is true at any age but old age itself is not a disease. A puppy or kitten with a heart problem is an anesthetic concern just as a heart problem would be a concern in a 15 year old pet. With a physical exam, preoperative bloodwork, and a consultation with the doctor concerning expectations, anesthesia can be pursued at any age without undue risk.
