The past decade has brought phenomenal
advances in veterinary care, with many of the same procedures and
medicines used for humans now being used to both extend and improve
the quality of your pet’s life. Before making any decisions,
we will talk with you at length about what medicines and procedures
can and can’t do and what is really in the best interest of
your pet. Please call (614) 866-2290 for more information
We provide emergency service for our clients
24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays
We always have a veterinarian on call to handle emergencies. If anything happens
to your pet— an injury, a sudden illness— we want to help. Please
call us immediately. If the emergency is after our regular hours, leave a voice
message with your telephone number, name, and brief description of the emergency.
The doctor on call will contact you soon after receiving your message. Please
try to leave your telephone line free to facilitate our return call.
We offer complete diagnostic services, including
consultations with veterinary specialists when needed
All laboratory work, such as blood sampling, x-rays and ultrasound, is performed
on-site and then transmitted via telemedicine and computer to board-certified
veterinary radiologists, cardiologists, pathologists, and internal medicine
specialists. They review your pet’s test results within twenty-four hours
(or sooner in emergency cases) and then confer with us to establish the best
treatment plan-of-action for your pet. Additionally, we are members of an Internet
veterinary consultation service, also staffed with board-certified specialists,
to help us further evaluate medically challenging cases. For more information

We perform a full range of surgical procedures,
from routine to complex, right at Hillview
We are equipped and staffed to perform all routine veterinary surgeries, from
neutering to simple injury treatment to tumor excision and biopsy. We also
have specialized training in laser surgery and the latest state-of-the art
equipment. For more complicated cases, such as serious bone fractures or soft
tissue injuries, we arrange with veterinary internal medicine and surgical
specialists to assist at our clinic.
We provide preventative care
to protect your pet’s health
Since prevention is always better than cure, we encourage you to keep your
pets properly vaccinated and have regular health-screening check-ups. Such
measures can help detect disease at an earlier and perhaps more treatable stage
so your pet can live a long and happy life. We also send you reminders when
your pet is due for vaccinations and heartworm screenings.
IMPORTANT: The entire Hillview veterinary staff also strongly recommends
bringing your pet in for a wellness exam every six months rather than
just once a year when vaccinations are due. Through experience, we
have found that these exams can make a significant contribution to
helping your pet live a longer, healthier life.

Our staff makes follow-up calls
to all patients after every visit
We always want to know how your pet is doing after a visit to us, especially
if he or she has had a surgical procedure or has been put on medication for
an illness. We both need the reassurance that comes from complete communication.
And, if there is a persistent problem or surgical complication, we want to
give your pet immediate help.
We offer full
dental care services to help
protect your pet from serious illnesses
Have you noticed that your pet’s breath is bad? Do you actually push him
or her away from your face because of the smell? Is your pet sensitive
around the face or muzzle? If you lift the side of your pet’s lips, do
you see pearly white teeth and normal pink gums, or brownish yellowish
tartar and red, swollen gums? Just think how you would feel if your
teeth and gums were in the condition that your pet’s are in!

Here for FAQ
Many pet owners question why it is important to have a pet’s teeth
cleaned? Good dental health is a vital part of your pet’s general
health. Research has shown that dogs and cats with poor dental health
are highly likely to develop other diseases from bacteria entering the
bloodstream through inflamed, bleeding or infected gums. These bacteria
settle in the liver, kidney, urinary bladder, and heart tissue and cause
infection in these organs. Moreover, when a pet has a chronic oral
(mouth) infection, this is also very hard on his or her immune system,
and can limit his ability to fight off other infections and diseases.
Make no mistake: periodontal (gum) disease and abscessed teeth are VERY
PAINFUL for your pet, and having these conditions treated will help your
pet live a longer, healthier, and pain free life!
In addition, we would like to offer all pets who receive a dental workup
and cleaning @ Hillview, a Free bag of C.E.T. Enzymatic Chews, excellent
means to maintain good dental health.
Thank-you for allowing us to care for your pet’s health!
