Animal Care Hospital

Preventive Care

Dental Care
By committing to daily dental care for your pet, you’re saving them from the pain and stress of gum infections, loose teeth, dental disease, and other issues that can lower their quality of life.
Vaccination
Vaccinating your pet is the easiest and most important way to protect them from disease. Also, it keeps diseases from spreading throughout Lafayette and to surrounding areas. Both pets and their people benefit from cat and dog vaccinations, which should be given on a routine basis to stay effective. If your pet is due to start their vaccines or needs to get up-to-date, let’s touch base and discuss what vaccines they need most for their lifestyle.
Comprehensive Examination
At Animal Care Hospital in Lafayette, it’s important that we not only treat your pet but get to know them (and you) as well as we can. Understanding their personality and needs and being aware of your circumstances gives us a firm foundation for building your pet’s wellness care program. Every appointment is personalized and dedicated to helping you care for your pet to the best of your ability.

Illness Treatment

Parasites Treatment and Control
While they are highly effective, no heartworm preventative can guarantee 100% protection. Furthermore, a pet infected with heartworms will not show clinical signs for some time. It takes about 6 months for a dog to test positive for heartworm disease after they have been infected. The earlier that heartworm disease is detected in your pet, the sooner we can treat them and prevent their condition from getting worse. Left alone, heartworm disease will put more strain on your pet's heart and lungs over time, and can be fatal in a worst-case scenario. Testing your pet annually gives us the best chance to detect heartworm disease early and treat it before it becomes a significant problem.
Behavioral Disorder Treatment
Pain Management
After safety, pain control is our next highest priority. Pain can make post-op recovery a challenge for pets, and slow down the recovery process. That’s why patients receive pain control based on their weight before, during, and after surgery. We can also send pets home with oral medication to ease their recovery.
Skin Condition and Allergy Treatment

Infection Treatment

Leptospirosis Treatment
We recommend Bordetella for dogs that will be boarded, groomed, or taken to the dog park, where kennel cough is easily spread. Parainfluenza and lepto are sometimes included in the distemper combination vaccine (DALPP).
Parvovirus Infection Treatment
Feline Retro Virus Treatment
Bacterial and Viral Infection Treatment
Preventing your pet’s nails from growing too long and breaking, developing fungal infections, or growing into the paw pads and affecting their ability to walk
Anal Gland Infection Treatment
Our hospital can also provide ancillary services to your pet while they’re having surgery. That way, you will not have to schedule separate appointments. Nail trimming, anal gland expression, microchipping, and removal of deciduous (baby) teeth can all be done while your pet is in surgery.

Chronic Condition Treatment

Diabetes Treatment
Heart Disease Treatment
To keep your pet’s teeth pearly white, they need to receive daily dental care at home and see our team for regular dental checkups and teeth cleanings. Our goal is to help your pet avoid painful conditions like gingivitis and dental disease, which can directly affect their overall systemic health. If your pet has an infection in their mouth, in time it will create a domino effect of secondary problems like diabetes, heart disease, and kidney disease. Call
Kidney Disease Treatment

Veterinary Surgery
Spaying and Neutering
Spaying and neutering are required by law in 32 states, and we hope more states follow suit. One of the most important things you can do for your pet in their first year is to have them spayed or neutered. At Animal Care Hospital in Lafayette, we’re aware of the consequences that result when dogs and cats are allowed to breed without limit. This increases stray animal populations and puts a significant strain on local shelters, resulting in more homeless pets.

Laboratory Services
A dental health restoration cleaning must be done while the patient is under anesthesia to ensure a thorough, high-quality teeth cleaning. We also strongly recommend pre-dental blood work to screen pets for infection, anemia, and kidney or liver problems. The kidneys and liver break down the anesthesia and flush it out of the body later, so we want to make sure that those organs are functioning properly.
X-Ray
Dental Radiology
Without dental X-rays, we would not be able to properly diagnose dental disease, or catch other oral problems that hide below the gum line. Dental X-rays give us a much better view of what’s going on inside the mouth and help us provide a higher level of care to your pet.
Microchipping
Microchipping is a fast, painless, no-sedation-required procedure that helps you and your pet stay connected if they go missing. A microchip provides permanent identification for your pet and when scanned, reveals your name and registered contact information.

General Pet Care

Boarding
At Animal Care Hospital, we’ve created a cat and dog boarding space in Lafayette, LA that truly takes individual comfort and well-being into account. Like you, we would only leave our own pets in the care of people we trust, and we aim to be those very people for you and other pet parents in and around Lafayette.
Grooming
For the pets that need more than just a daily (or weekly) brushing, we offer professional cat and dog grooming services right here in Lafayette, LA. Grooming plays an important role in your pet’s health and should be done regularly for maximum effect. Pets can groom themselves to an extent, but when it comes to bathing, trimming their nails, and giving them a haircut, only a professional groomer will do.
