At Village Gate Animal Hospital & Pet Resort, we understand that your
pet’s health care can involve decisions that are tough due to the
technical nature of medical treatment or due to the financial
considerations that must be made when considering your companion’s
health. Furthermore, just finding the time to take care of what may
be needed can be significantly inconvenient. Therefore, our medical
staff strives to provide a friendly, professional atmosphere where you
can understand and explore the options that are available for the care
of your pet and see an estimate prior to deciding on a course of
action. To provide additional convenience to clients with busy
schedules, we offer drop off services. During a drop off appointment,
our medical staff will examine your pet, then call to discuss the
results and recommended treatments. The following medical areas are
examples of the services we provide, but will never substitute for
the possibilities that will arise from direct interaction with our veterinarians.
