Most Animal Hospitals in Roswell specialize in emergencies, surgeries, and severe illnesses of pets. They are set-up to provide excellent care but are not designed to ease the anxiety and fear of the animals. Costs can be expensive since every procedure is specialized, medications are very strong, and facilities are limited. The focus is on the surgery or emergency, so veterinarians have no baseline information or previous knowledge of the animal before that one event. It is much like hospitals for people, except human reasoning skills allow for that adjustment, and ease the fear and anxiety.
Animal Hospitals in Roswell do not all operate under those circumstances. There is one that provides all services for all types of pets including cats, dogs, ferrets, birds, “pocket” pets, and exotic pets. “Pocket pets” refers to hamsters, gerbils, fish, snails, and turtles, and other very small animals. The care includes regular wellness checkups, laboratory testing, rehabilitation, dentistry, grooming, surgeries, long term illness care, and personalized care plans. Animals get used to the environment, the support staff, and the veterinarian, so anxiety is not as severe when an emergency or the need for surgery arises. It is also beneficial that staff and vets get used to the pet. It is easier to detect when something is wrong, symptoms are more noticeable, and behavior and reactions to procedures are more predictable.
The event of a serious illness is also dramatically reduced due to complete care plans that take into consideration hygiene, diet and nutrition, exercise, vaccinations, and dental health. Pet owners that are well educated and given a plan to follow are better able to take care of the animal. The costs tend to be more reasonable because there are more sources of income than just surgeries and emergencies.
Regular visits, grooming services, dental services, and boarding for animals recovering from surgery also provide income to help the practice and facility sustain itself. Boarding is limited to recovering dogs, cats, birds, ferrets, rodents, and rabbits that are fully up to date with all shots.
