A regular annual examination is an important part of preventive health care for your cat and dog.  A full range of vaccinations are available to protect your pets against a wide variety of diseases.  Once a thorough physical examination has been performed, the veterinarian will assess the vaccination requirements of each patient on an individual basis.

Glenda has many years of experience as a dog groomer.  She grooms each dog according to your requirements.  Grooming services are available for both clients and non-clients of the hospital.  Proof of current vaccination status is required for pets that are not patients of the Annex Animal Hospital.

Please call ahead to book a professional grooming appointment.  Glenda is available Monday through Friday by appointment only.  New clients and their pets are always welcome!

With a small blood sample, we can perform a basic wellness profile for your dog or cat. This can be done in conjunction with their annual physical exam. Wellness laboratory testing is used to assist the veterinarian in detecting health problems at an early stage. Laboratory results provide valuable information to evaluate the condition of your pet's vital organs such as the liver, kidneys, pancreas, and heart. These tests can provide a baseline for future comparison to detect changes in your pet’s health.

A wide variety of laboratory tests are available for your dog and cat. Complete blood counts, blood chemistry, urinalysis, parasite testing, and viral screening are just a few of the many tests performed by our off-site veterinary laboratory. Test results are received on the same business day for many of these tests.
