Overall

I'm pretty ticked off. We just moved back to the area where I went to college. My wife took the dogs in to get updates and rabies shots for the PA dog license since we had been living out of state. ALMOST $700 later, they had talked her into everything they could think of, from fleas (there is snow on the ground) to worms etc. Mind you our dogs went to our old vet about every 2-3 months until we moved here a few months ago, but not we miraculously have all these issues. If I could give them a zero stars I would. I just spoke with them and they really didn't have anything to say. I'll find someone new and I suggest you do the same. VERY UNHAPPY.

Dental Care
Vaccination
By filling out this change of address form we can keep your records up to date so you will be sure to get timely updates on Vaccination and Pet Health Care reminders from us.
Behavioral Counseling
We can provide advice regarding the correction of problems such as excessive barking, chewing, spraying, scratching, digging, house soiling and aggression.
Nutritional Counseling
We will provide guidance regarding your pet's nutritional needs for each life stage, including dietary requirements for growth, weight maintenance and performance.
Comprehensive Examination
Today's modern anesthetics and monitors have made surgery much safer than in the past. Here at Slippery Rock Veterinary Hospital, we do a thorough physical exam on your pet before administering anesthetics, to ensure that a fever or other illness won't be a problem. We also adjust the amount and type of anesthetic used depending on the health of your pet. In general, the risks from NOT performing a needed procedure, such as a teeth cleaning or tumor removal, are much higher than the risk from anesthesia.

Illness Treatment

Parasites Treatment and Control
We maintain a complete inventory of pharmaceuticals, vitamins, shampoos, flea and tick control products and heartworm preventatives to meet the needs of your pet. We also carry a full line of Hill's prescription diets.
Pain Management
Vomiting Treatment
Injury Treatment
Dr. Darcie Holmes-Duncan, Doctor of Chiropractic, performs chiropractic adjustments on dogs and cats at our hospital. This is done under the supervision of the licensed veterinarian who screens the animal to determine the appropriateness of chiropractic care. The veterinarian is on site at the facility when Dr. Holmes-Duncan is seeing patients. There are a number of conditions that may be helped with chiropractic care such as muscle strains, nerve injury and early hip pain. The number and frequency of chiropractic sessions is variable. It includes regimented protocols, intermittent/periodic treatment to more ongoing visits for arthritic animals. Animal chiropractic at Slippery Rock Veterinary Hospital is used in conjunction with traditional veterinary treatment.

Dental Surgery
Our dental services include teeth cleaning and polishing, tooth extractions and oral surgery. Our dental team includes Licensed Veterinary Technicians who are further qualified as Veterinary Dental Technicians.
Veterinary Surgery
Whether your pet needs a routine check-up, immunizations or care for an illness or injury, Slippery Rock Veterinary Hospital can provide the care you need and refer you for specialized care when appropriate. We provide a full range of services - from neutering and routine teeth cleaning to more challenging surgical care and advanced dental disease treatment.
Declawing
Spaying and Neutering
Anything that causes pain in people can be expected to cause pain in animals. Pets may not show the same symptoms of pain as people do; they usually don't whine or cry, but you can be sure they feel it. Pain management medications lessen the risk of discomfort and swelling. Your pet should be started on an oral pain reliever/anti-inflammatory as prescribed by the veterinarian. Remember that spaying and neutering are major surgeries. Providing pain relief is a humane and caring thing to do for your pet.
