Wolf Rock Animal Health Center was created in 1997, with
the goal of providing an animal hospital that focuses on promoting
and maintaining health of pets through education and understanding
of the foundations of health.
Unlike many animal hospitals today, our practice style is
not driven by drug company promotions, vaccinations and the
marketing schemes of corporate interests. We take the time
to sit down with you, get to know you and your pets, address
all health issues and formulate a plan to improve health and
well being.
Most appointments are 30 minutes or longer, in order to
provide the time to look at your pet as a whole. Nutrition
is a keystone to health, and we will discuss options for feeding
your friends the best foods that you are able to.

The Wolf Rock Animal Health Center is a well-equipped, modern
veterinary hospital offering general medicine, surgery, and preventative
health services for companion animals.
In addition, we offer alternative treatment options. These include
a holistic approach, acupuncture,animal chiropractic, herbal
medicine, homeopathy, and nutritional consultations.
|
|
| |
|
|
We are offering these alternatives in order to expand our ability
to treat medical conditions and to help you maintain your pets in
the best of health, using the gentlest of methods.
Each case is individually evaluated and the treatment choice is
made according to the preference of the client and the needs of
the patient. In order to apply this holistic approach, new patients
are scheduled an initial one hour appointment for physical examination,
case review and treatment options. Therefore, we are unable to advise
on specific treatment of a case before the initial appointment.
If you are seeking alternative therapies for an existing condition
in your pet, we'd like you to know that alternative therapies
may be used alone or in conjunction with conventional treatments
for almost any condition.
At times, due to high case load, we may be unable to accept new
patients. While we'd like to be able to accommodate every animal
that may be in need of our services, it is important that we keep
time in our appointment schedule to accommodate all of those that
are already under our care. In this event, we do have a waiting
list so that we can contact you when an opening arises.
All of us at Wolf Rock Animal Health Center welcome our new clients
and patients and look forward to helping you meet their health care
needs. Please feel free to stop in for a tour of our facility. If
you'd like to schedule an appointment or request additional
information, please contact us.
