Preventive Care

Dental Care
Unfortunately, dental cleanings, exams, and daily dental hygiene habits are often overlooked when it comes to our pets’ teeth. We, humans, have well-developed dental hygiene habits, but our furry friends don’t have the thumbs to hold a toothbrush. That’s why, when it comes to dental care, they need our help.
Vaccination
For the safety of all animals in our care, we require that all vaccinations be up to date. Even though we make every effort to make our patients feel comfortable during visits, they may be a little uneasy about new people, new surroundings and other pets. This is one of the reasons we ask you to restrain your pet. We recommend that animals be placed on a leash or in pet carriers before entering the waiting room.
Veterinary Ophthalmology
Dr. Shelley (Sobieray) Gallagher is originally from Indiana, Pennsylvania. She received her undergraduate degree in Biology/Pre-Vet from Indiana University of Pennsylvania in 2006. In 2010, Dr. Shelley obtained her veterinary degree from the University of Pennsylvania. She practiced in Hazleton, Pa for five years prior to joining the White Haven Veterinary Hospital in 2015. Dr. Shelley has special interests in ophthalmology and internal medicine. In her spare time, she enjoys running, painting and spending time with her husband, John, their two dogs, Max and Coco, and the best orange cat ever, Twinkie.
Behavioral Counseling
We love dogs and cats, but inviting them into our homes only works when we provide them with training that helps them understand the types of behaviors we expect and those which are unacceptable. Without proper training, our pets would have the run of the house and wouldn’t be very pleasant to live with. At White Haven Veterinary Hospital, our veterinarians can help you get started with teaching your dog or cat how to behave properly in addition to helping you eliminate unwanted behaviors and behavior-related problems such as aggression, separation anxiety, and general unruliness.
Nutritional Counseling
When pets are overweight or obese, they’ll benefit from losing weight. Our veterinarians will assess your pet and work with you to determine a reasonable and healthy weight loss plan that combines dietary adjustments and regular, incremental exercise.
Comprehensive Examination
Regular wellness exams are essential to your pet’s preventative care routine, ongoing wellness, and longevity. At White Haven Veterinary Hospital, our veterinarians strive to provide our patients with regular care and pet parents with all the information they need to give their furry friends the best in life. Our wellness exams and services are designed to keep your pets as healthy as possible by optimizing their wellness and preventing avoidable illness.

Illness Treatment

Parasites Treatment and Control
Each wellness examination begins with a whiskers-to-tail physical examination. We might also recommend running a basic blood panel, intestinal parasite screening, and/or additional diagnostic tests to further screen pets for early signs of health problems.
Pain Management
Healthy adult dogs and cats should visit the veterinarian once per year for a wellness examination, vaccine boosters, and a checkup. Puppies, kittens, senior pets, and pets living with chronic medical conditions typically require more frequent veterinary visits to complete their vaccinations, perform health screenings, and to continue ongoing pain management or prescription medications.
Skin Condition and Allergy Treatment
Vaccines are considered to be incredibly safe for pets, and the benefits far outweigh the potential risks. Although there is some risk of allergic reactions, actual adverse events are rare. Upon administering a vaccine, our veterinarians will make you aware of the signs of adverse reactions to look for. Additionally, we will only administer the vaccines deemed necessary for your pet’s health.
Intestinal Foreign Object Removal
Ultrasound is often recommended for diagnosing sick pets with various symptoms, assessing organ and joint function, observing the circulatory system, monitoring pregnancy, evaluating tumors, assisting with foreign object removal surgery, and more.

Infection Treatment

Leptospirosis Treatment
Non-core vaccines are entirely elective and recommended on a case-by-case basis. Even though these vaccinations are labeled as non-core, most of them are still very important for your pet. Some non-core vaccines protect pets from contracting diseases like leptospirosis, bordetella, feline leukemia, and canine influenza.
Parvovirus Infection Treatment
Core vaccines include those that are required by local law and those that are strongly recommended for all pets. Some core vaccines protect pets from diseases like rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and lyme.
Bacterial and Viral Infection Treatment
The bacteria associated with periodontal disease (a bacterial infection of the gums) can get into the bloodstream and damage a pet’s organs. Left unaddressed, gum disease can cause early death.

Chronic Condition Treatment

Arthritis Treatment
The most common use of PRP injections is for pain control for osteoarthritis and degenerative joint disease. With these conditions, there is damage and degeneration of the cartilage that lines the joints that normally creates a smooth service for bones to glide on. Because this cartilage wears away with age, it creates a painful bone-on-bone surface. Instead of managing pain with medications such as anti-inflammatories that can have negative long-term side effects, we now can offer an alternative method that targets the underlying lack of cartilage and tries to rebuild new healthy tissue.
Hip Dysplasia Treatment
As pets age, their dietary needs also shift. Our veterinarians will provide you with recommendations for your pet’s food and also provide you with information about nutritional supplements that can manage joint pain and help your pet stay healthy.
Obesity Treatment
Diabetes Treatment
Thyroid Disease Treatment
Hyperthyroidism is one of the most commonly diagnosed endocrine (hormonal) disorders in cats. This serious disease affects middle-aged and older cats (about 10% of cats over 10). The average age of diagnosis is at around nine years, but cats as young as five have been diagnosed.
Heart Disease Treatment
Periodontal Disease Treatment

Emergency Care

Wound and Fracture Care
Following your pet’s procedure, we’ll monitor their recovery progress and notify you when they are ready to return home. We’ll provide you with complete post-operative care instructions which might include medication administration, wound care, activity restriction, and temporary dietary changes. We will also ensure that any necessary follow-up examinations are properly scheduled.

Spaying and Neutering
Spays and neuters are our most common and most recommended surgeries as preventative health for your animal. Spaying your animal can prevent mammary cancer, unwanted pregnancy, and infection of the uterus (pyometra) in the future. Neutering your pets can prevent behavioral habits, disease of the prostate, and testicular cancer in the future. In addition to relieving overcrowded animal shelters, spaying and neutering pets impart a variety of health and behavioral benefits.

Lab and X-Rays

Laboratory Services
In addition to our diagnostic imaging capabilities, we also have an in-house laboratory that allows us to run complete blood panels and other chemistry labs on-site. As a result, we can get your pet’s test results back quickly for a swift diagnosis and prompt treatment
X-Ray
Dental Radiology
A pet dental exam also includes digital dental x-rays, which allow our veterinarian to view the internal structures of your pet’s mouth. This allows us to detect any problems such as cavities or abscesses that might be occurring below the gum line or inside of your pet’s teeth.

General Pet Care

Boarding
Grooming
Reduced Infection Risk - Regular bathing will keep your pet's ears and everything else clean, which means less risk of bacterial and fungal infections. Additionally, a professional grooming appointment reduces the risk of accidentally cutting your pet while trimming hair at home.
