LOW STRESS HANDLING
Hopewell Animal Hospital is very excited to begin the journey to have our hospital certified as a Low-Stress Handling Hospital. This certification signifies that the professionals caring for your pet have learned scientifically-based techniques to reduce stress in animals. They know how to hold a leash, offer treats, and reward animals to encourage them to willingly accept medical treatment. Force and struggle is no longer present and the person understands why this is so important for you, your pet(s), and their staff. How is the care experience different? Now only one handler will guide your pet who willingly gets on the scale or examination table for care. Scratches, hissing, and growling are a thing of the past. Proper approach and touch can reduce the need for sedation medication in the office and at home.

PET WELLNESS
Bringing your pet in for an annual diagnostic and wellness checkup can help reassure you that your dog or cat is healthy or help us detect hidden diseases or conditions early. Early detection can improve the prognosis of many diseases, keep medical costs down, and help your pet live longer. Many dogs and cats are good at hiding signs that something is wrong, so subtle changes in their health or behavior might be easy to overlook. And, depending on the disease, some pets don’t show any symptoms.
Dogs and cats age far quicker than humans, so it is even more crucial for our companion animals to receive regular exams. In addition, the risks of arthritis, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, hormone disorders, and kidney and liver problems all increase with age.

A LONG, HEALTHY, LOVING LIFE FOR YOUR PET STARTS HERE.
At Hopewell Animal Hospital, we strongly believe there are more ways than one to address health issues. While we are well trained in conventional medicine, we understand that some disease processes lend themselves to treatment with other methods. Because of this need, we have expanded our training into other areas of medicine.
Hopewell Animal Hospital is proud to offer Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) as an exciting option for our patients. While Chinese medicine has achieved worldwide recognition for centuries, it is now taking hold in the veterinary community and offering the same type of healing principles.


DENTAL PROCEDURES
Perhaps one of the most common procedures that we perform is dental work. Dental work can involve anything from a basic cleaning to advanced procedures such as root canal, vital pulpotomy, oral surgery and orthodontics. We understand that dental care can be expensive and we are often asked why the costs are what they are. We want you to fully understand our pricing structure and we also would like to take the opportunity to inform you what makes our service different than other practices.
OUTSTANDING SERVICES
We offer a wide range of veterinary services for your pets. If you’re ready to see our expert veterinary team today or make an appointment now.
