This is Fanny and me. We, or I guess she really, are now in the fourth week after her CCL operation almost to the day that her other knee was operated on a year ago. Both by the wonderful, magical, and caring Dr. Haroush. Last year, pre-pandemic, with a looming scare, a big price tag and months of rehab in front of us, Dr. Haroush, Jose and the rest of this magnificent team treated us immediately, helped us in more way we could count all with the kindest and most knowledgeable of treatments. Fanny felt like it was another home and we felt like we were welcome to be as neurotic as we could be about our dog. She healed up quickly and then like clockwork which Dr. Haroush said might happen, it did again, the other knee. Now it was even worse with the Pandemic in full swing, money really tight, time tighter, it felt so huge and totally overwhelming. Did Dr. Haroush come to the rescue? He certainly did. Again, she is healing nicely, we are healing along with her and I would never send her to another vet as long as she lives. Dr. Haroush and team are spectacular in their wisdom and care. Along with treating Fanny it was like he was treating me for all the insanity we are all feeling right now. Everyday and beyond the care was present. And most of all Fanny feels loved and taken care of. What more could you ask for. I wish it was all this simple.

GroomSpa/Medical GroomingPamper Your Pet. They Deserve it.Every pet deserves a day at the spa. Besides, it’s good for their health.

Sedated Pet Grooming
Most animals can be groomed without sedation or anesthesia, however, there are many pet patients who require this procedure. Primary candidates for our sedated pet grooming service are animals who struggle with behavioral aggression, those who are easily stressed, and those who struggle with physical pain, particularly due to heavy matting.
At Animal Health Center, our main priority is our pet patient’s safety and comfort.
We have a full in-house grooming facility at the hospital, complete with the most up-to-date anesthesia and monitoring systems in each grooming room. Our professional GroomSpa team works closely with hospital staff to ensure the safety of your pet during grooming and while under sedation. Doctors and technicians will perform pre-anesthetic testing, administer medications as necessary, and monitor your pet during the entirety of their visit.
A key benefit of regular grooming at Animal Health Center is that we become familiar with your pet’s medical and emotional needs, allowing us to recognize developing problems before they escalate (i.e. skin conditions, parasite infections, new lumps or masses, swelling, tenderness, etc.). As a state-of-the-art animal hospital, we have professionals on staff 24-7, giving the groomer immediate access to medical assistance or diagnosis when any conditions arise.
If you believe your pet may benefit from our specialty sedated pet grooming service, please contact our staff today to schedule a consultation with our veterinarian.

Club Wag was designed as a friendly, safe, and stimulating environment where healthy dogs can spend their day developing into a well-balanced member of the family. For those who require extra care for chronic or acute medical conditions, we offer an individualized physical therapy program. This program includes administering of oral, topical, or injectable medicine by veterinarian or veterinary trained professionals, 24-7 intensive monitoring, and/or numerous physical therapy treatment options.

Level III: for hospital intensive critical care patients who require intense medical care, IV fluids, and/or antibiotics.
PHYSICAL THERAPY/REHABILITATION PROGRAM
Just like with humans, movement is important during rehabilitation to maintain muscle control and strength, decrease stiffness, and increase the stability of the joints. Most commonly employed physical therapy options include PROM (massage and passive range of motion) whereby trained medical professionals move the joints and muscles of the patient to promote a higher range of motion; monitored specialized exercises designed to promote balance and coordination; and hydrotherapy, which allows patients to explore a full range of motion in a water bath, without the damaging pull of gravity. Physical therapy can benefit numerous conditions, including:
Recovery from a soft tissue injury
Surgical and TTA-Rapid ACL ligament injury
Degenerative Myelopathy
Hip Dysplasia
Gait abnormalities
Stroke
Arthritis
Weight Loss
Pain reduction

Behavior Modification/Training Classes
Call today for more information on our “New Puppy Classes” with Jose! email for more info
Dog training is about fostering the bond between family and pet. At the Veterinary Village, we believe dog training is much more than obeying commands and performing tricks. It is the invaluable process of introducing a new language as a tool to reach across the speech/species barrier. This allows for a better understanding of what each other needs, feels, and expects from the other. We believe a well-trained dog is an emotionally and physically healthier being that will live in harmony and comfort as a beloved member of the family.
Behavior Modification is the systematic approach to changing behavior. Unlike obedience training that trains a dog to perform specific actions when requested, behavior modification looks to change a dog’s reaction to situations, persons, things, etc., ultimately changing the way a dog thinks, feels, and acts. It is important in behavior modification to focus on the why and when a dog acts inappropriately in order to effectively change their behavior and set them up for success.
It is important for people to understand that in both dog training and behavior modification classes, many times it is our human actions that set the tone for our dog’s actions/reactions. It takes equal effort on both parts, the master and the dog, to see successful changes in behavior. Be prepared to work every day and every week with your dog and not just use the hour long session as your “training” / “modification” time. It’s a bit like prepping for a test- the more time you spend studying over the long term, as opposed to the night before, the better your results will be!
