Our Services
Complete Care
Wellness Plans
The veterinarians and healthcare team of Mountainside Animal Hospital believe in preventive wellness care. This is accomplished through routine semi-annual comprehensive exams, vaccinations, parasite prevention, urine and blood screening, good oral health and client education encompassing nutrition and behavior.
Annual Wellness Plans offer an affordable way to provide high quality preventive healthcare to your pet. Wellness Plans are NOT insurance. They are designed to provide routine healthcare and diagnostics at a discount. With regular checkups, illnesses and diseases can be detected early, before they become worse and more expensive to treat. By bundling services and spreading the yearly cost over 12 months, you and your pet can concentrate on staying healthy.
Preventative Care
At Mountainside Animal Hospital we believe that prevention is truly the best medicine! A yearly wellness exam allows us to prevent, diagnose and treat disease in its early stages, often before you notice any symptoms. Treatment is more effective when it starts earlier, so preventative care helps your pet live a long and healthy life with you. We believe in working with and providing you with enough knowledge to put you in control of the health care decisions for your pet.
Urgent Care
We provide compassionate urgent care to pets who have undergone trauma, acute illness, or require urgent care or emergency surgery. If your pet suddenly develops an ear infection or intestinal upset, or has a more serious injury, you may not want to wait for an appointment. We may be able to help, please call ahead for availability.
For pets who may require overnight hospitalization or specialty services, we work closely with our veterinary colleagues to get your pets the care they need.
Dentistry
Regular dental care is essential for keeping your pet healthy and happy. Dental disease is a common issue among household pets that can lead to serious health problems if left untreated. Periodic dental exams help maintain proper oral hygiene and prevent future complications.
Dental health is a very important part of your pet’s overall health, and dental problems can cause, or be caused by, other health problems. Your pet’s teeth and gums should be checked at least once a year by your veterinarian to check for early signs of a problem and to keep your pet’s mouth healthy. We recommend annual comprehensive oral health assessment and treatment, including dental xrays on all our furry friends.
Surgery
At Mountainside Animal Hospital, the safety and comfort of your pet is our primary concern. We understand that it can be difficult to hear that your beloved pet needs surgery, but our goal is to ensure they receive the highest standard of care in order to maintain a happy and healthy lifestyle throughout their life. We offer a variety of soft tissue surgical services including:
- Spay and neuter—routine reproductive surgery for cats and dogs
- Lump/Tumor removal
- Skin reconstructive surgery and laceration repair
- Foreign body removal—to eliminate internal foreign obstructions
- Oral Surgery—for tooth extractions and oral tumors. Check out our dental care services for more information.
- We also perform limited orthopedic surgeries as necessary and can provide referrals for complicated cases.
In-House Lab & Diagnostics
At Mountainside Animal Hospital, our experienced team is committed to making sure your pet is happy and healthy at all times. We strongly believe in routine preventative care to identify potential illness and disease early, which allows our doctors to provide effective diagnostic and treatment options for acute and chronic medical conditions.
Mountainside Animal Hospital operates an in-house lab on site, so we are able to obtain quick results after blood work tests and offer same-day treatment options for our pet patients. diagnostic services:
We also offer digital x-rays which provide an enhanced look at your pet’s internal health and helps us assess any issues in the heart, lungs, kidneys, and reproductive organs. We also use digital dental x-rays for dental cleanings and oral exams.
Laser Therapy
Laser therapy is a noninvasive treatment designed to reduce pain and inflammation, and to speed healing. This treatment is quickly becoming standard of care in both human and veterinary medicine. Our staff members administer laser therapy via a handpiece that emits this therapeutic infrared light in a fast, drug-free, and soothing treatment. The light can treat surface problems such as wounds, as well as deeper structures, penetrating through fur, skin, and fat if necessary to reach damaged tissue.
The therapeutic infrared light targets the mitochondria in damaged cells and stimulates them to regenerate and stimulates them to return to optimal function. This regenerative process is called photobiomodulation (PBM). PBM does not impact normal cells, but can help damaged cells to recover from injury faster. Laser therapy can be utilized as an adjunct to existing treatments, often reducing or replacing the need for pain medications.
End Of Life Care
We treat our pets like family members, so the loss of a beloved pet can be overwhelming. At Mountainside Animal Hospital, we experience the human-animal bond on a daily basis and we understand that saying a final goodbye to a cherished companion can be very traumatic for pet owners and their families.
Our doctors offers sincere emotional support and guidance for coping with pet loss. If you need a helping hand and a listening ear to make the right decision regarding end-of-life veterinary care, we are here to support you every step of the way.
WHEN IS THE RIGHT TIME?
While there is no way to estimate the right time to say a final goodbye, there may be signs that life just isn’t the same for your pet. Perhaps they seem to be in constant pain or are suffering from a terminal illness. We work closely with you to evaluate your pet’s overall comfort and quality of life so you can make the best decision regarding end-of-life care. There are a number of end-of-life options available for pet owners, including pet hospice care and euthanasia.

Pet Insurance
While we all want to do what’s best for our pet to ensure they’re in the best possible health, there is always a risk of them becoming injured in an accident, eating something they shouldn’t or requiring ongoing treatment for a serious condition such as cancer or diabetes. Emergency treatment or treating an illness can quickly become very expensive and pet insurance means you will have financial help meeting the bills for conditions and accidents that are covered by your pet insurance policy.
If your pet does require emergency veterinary care, the last thing you want to worry about is whether you can afford the vet bills. With pet insurance, you can rest assured than any hefty veterinary bills will be taken care of and you won’t be left out of pocket.
No-one wants to have to make the heart-breaking decision on what treatment to buy for your pet based on the cost and what you can afford, rather than what is best for your faithful friend. Pet insurance gives you peace of mind that you will be able to afford the best possible care for your best friend if the worst should happen.
