We’ll also discuss your pet’s diet, exercise habits, and any behavioral changes you may have noticed. This comprehensive assessment allows us to identify any potential health concerns early on.

We follow the latest guidelines from veterinary experts to ensure your pet receives the appropriate vaccinations based on their age, lifestyle, and risk factors. Our team will discuss the benefits and risks of each vaccine with you, ensuring you’re fully informed about the protection your pet is receiving.
Parasite Prevention: Safeguarding Against Internal and External Threats
Parasites, both internal and external, can pose a significant threat to your pet’s health. Heartworms, fleas, ticks, and intestinal worms can cause a variety of health problems, from mild discomfort to serious illness. We offer a range of preventative medications to protect your pet from these parasites, and our team will work with you to develop a personalized parasite prevention plan based on your pet’s individual needs.

Proper nutrition is essential for maintaining your pet’s health and well-being. We offer nutritional counseling services to help you choose the right food for your pet based on their age, breed, activity level, and any underlying health conditions. Our team can also help you manage your pet’s weight, ensuring they maintain a healthy body condition.
Advanced Diagnostic Services: Uncovering Hidden Health Issues
When your pet is sick or injured, accurate and timely diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment. Hesperia Animal Hospital is equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment to help us uncover hidden health issues and provide your pet with the best possible care. Our advanced diagnostic capabilities allow us to quickly and accurately assess your pet’s condition, leading to faster treatment and improved outcomes.
Digital Radiography: Providing Clear and Detailed Images
Digital radiography, also known as X-rays, is a valuable diagnostic tool that allows us to visualize your pet’s internal organs and bones. Our digital radiography system provides clear and detailed images, allowing us to quickly identify fractures, foreign objects, and other abnormalities. The digital format also allows us to easily share images with specialists for consultation.
Ultrasound: Non-Invasive Imaging for Internal Organs
Ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses sound waves to create images of your pet’s internal organs. This allows us to assess the size, shape, and structure of organs such as the heart, liver, kidneys, and spleen. Ultrasound is particularly useful for diagnosing conditions such as heart disease, liver disease, and kidney disease.
In-House Laboratory: Rapid Results for Faster Treatment
Our in-house laboratory allows us to perform a wide range of diagnostic tests quickly and accurately. This includes blood tests, urine tests, and fecal tests. Having these capabilities on-site allows us to get results quickly, enabling us to start treatment sooner and improve your pet’s chances of recovery. We understand that waiting for test results can be stressful, and our in-house laboratory helps us minimize that anxiety.

When your pet requires surgery, you want to be sure they’re in the hands of experienced and compassionate professionals. Hesperia Animal Hospital offers a wide range of surgical services, from routine procedures to complex surgeries. Our surgical team is highly skilled and dedicated to providing your pet with the best possible care before, during, and after surgery.
Routine Surgeries: Spaying and Neutering
Spaying and neutering are routine surgical procedures that offer numerous health and behavioral benefits for your pet.

Dental Care: Protecting Your Pet’s Oral Health
Dental health is an often-overlooked aspect of pet care, but it’s essential for your pet’s overall health and well-being. Dental disease can lead to pain, infection, and even organ damage. Hesperia Animal Hospital offers a comprehensive range of dental services to help keep your pet’s teeth and gums healthy.

Regular dental cleanings are essential for removing plaque and tartar buildup from your pet’s teeth. Our dental cleanings are performed under anesthesia to ensure your pet’s comfort and safety.
