Happy Tails Veterinary Hospital

We Believe in a Positive Approach

We believe in the most humane care when working with animals, with the goal of making each experience a good one for all involved. We strive to treat each patient with what is known as a "fear-free approach" to care. This means we will try attempting to give a pet medicine wrapped in food as opposed to using a pet piller, holding animals in a kind and gentle way as opposed to using an unnecessary amount of restraint, and using encouraging language and commands with pets.

When it comes to vaccinations, we also trust in gentle handling and an individualized approach, looking at the whole patient and health history to develop a plan for your pet. We use distraction and treats rather than restraints when we can to make the experience normal for your animal.

Our treatment of felines involves a high level of sensitivity, as we keep them in separate areas from our canine patients to eliminate unnecessary stress. We follow the Feline Association’s guidelines for cat patient appointments to eliminate uncomfortable situations with other animals.

We invest in equipment, time, and training to provide a network of support and information pet owners need in order to follow through on treatment with a sense of comfort and security. We want you to return to us, and to spread the good word. So we work hard to make the Happy Tails’ experience THE BEST — for you and your pet.
