1. Award-Winning Care
For practical, effective cures, preventions and solutions, pets at Viva Vet receive veterinary care awarded by the AVC for “outstanding clinical competence and extraordinary compassion” and informed by twenty years experience.
2. Informed Pet-Parents
You’re fully informed and in charge of your pet’s care at Viva Vet. Independently owned, we set the pace of our own appointment schedule. You receive time for thorough answers to questions and discussion of all options and recommendations.
3. Time For Compassionate Care
Pets under treatment at Viva Vet get the attention they appreciate as much as our team enjoys giving. Similar to our unrushed appointments, we make sure staff in our treatment area have due time for compassionate care.
4. Focused Diagnostics
When diagnostics are needed, the best approach provides an answer with the fewest tests. We test incrementally, starting only with what’s the most likely cause of the problem, based on experienced observation of the facts. If it yields the needed result, you’re done and onto the cure.
5. Nurturing Space
Pets like our space. They encounter minimal barriers, and in almost every area, they get the familiarity of a view outdoors. Able to take in the outside world as usual, they feel a bit at home.
6. All Stages of Life
If your pet is a puppy or kitten, mid-life or senior, you get answers, options and recommendations from a team with decades of experience helping animals avoid and solve problems at all stages of life.
7. Full Service
To be available for the comprehensive care of your pet, Viva Vet is a full service hospital – dentistry, surgery, x-ray, internal medicine, blood work, and in-patient treatment.
