We utilize advanced pain management techniques to ensure your pet is comfortable before, during, and after surgery.

Minimally Invasive Surgical Techniques
Whenever possible, we utilize minimally invasive surgical techniques. These techniques involve smaller incisions, resulting in less pain, faster recovery times, and reduced risk of complications. Minimally invasive surgery is particularly beneficial for procedures such as arthroscopy (joint surgery) and laparoscopy (abdominal surgery).

We utilize advanced imaging techniques to accurately diagnose orthopedic conditions and develop a tailored treatment plan for your pet.

The Importance of Dental Care for Your Pet’s Overall Health
Dental disease is a common problem in pets, affecting up to 80% of dogs and cats by the age of three. Dental disease can cause pain, inflammation, and infection, and it can also lead to more serious health problems, such as heart disease and kidney disease. Regular dental care is essential for maintaining your pet’s oral health and preventing these problems.
Professional Dental Cleanings
We offer professional dental cleanings to remove plaque and tartar buildup from your pet’s teeth. During a dental cleaning, your pet will be placed under anesthesia, and our veterinary team will thoroughly clean and polish their teeth. We will also examine their mouth for any signs of dental disease, such as gingivitis, periodontal disease, or tooth decay. If necessary, we may recommend extractions or other dental procedures.
At-Home Dental Care
In addition to professional dental cleanings, at-home dental care is also important. Brushing your pet’s teeth regularly can help remove plaque and prevent tartar buildup. We can provide you with instructions on how to brush your pet’s teeth properly. We also offer a variety of dental chews and treats that can help keep your pet’s teeth clean.
Emergency and Critical Care Services
Medical emergencies can happen at any time. That’s why Sheridan Animal Hospital is equipped to provide emergency and critical care services during our regular business hours. Our experienced team is prepared to handle a wide range of emergencies, from injuries and illnesses to poisonings and allergic reactions.

While we provide emergency care during our regular hours, we understand that emergencies can happen at any time. For after-hours emergencies, we have established relationships with several local emergency veterinary hospitals. We can provide you with referrals to these hospitals, ensuring that your pet receives the care they need, even when we are closed.
Nutritional Counseling: Fueling Your Pet’s Health and Longevity
Proper nutrition is essential for your pet’s health and well-being. A balanced diet can help your pet maintain a healthy weight, have more energy, and live a longer, healthier life. 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.
Personalized Dietary Recommendations
Our veterinarians can assess your pet’s nutritional needs and make personalized dietary recommendations. We can also help you understand the different types of pet food available and the ingredients they contain. We can advise you on portion sizes and feeding schedules. Our goal is to help you provide your pet with a diet that meets their specific needs and supports their overall health.
Behavioral Counseling: Addressing Problem Behaviors and Improving Quality of Life
Behavioral problems can be frustrating for both pets and their owners. We offer behavioral counseling services to help you address problem behaviors and improve your pet’s quality of life. Our veterinarians can assess your pet’s behavior and develop a tailored plan to address the underlying causes of the problem. We can provide you with advice on training techniques, environmental modifications, and medication, if necessary.
Addressing Anxiety and Fear
Anxiety and fear are common behavioral problems in pets. These problems can manifest in a variety of ways, such as excessive barking, destructive behavior, or aggression. We can help you identify the triggers for your pet’s anxiety and fear and develop a plan to help them cope with these emotions. We may recommend techniques such as desensitization and counter-conditioning, as well as medication, if necessary.
