Our animal hospital offers wellness check ups, general surgeries, dental services, and emergency services. We are a fast paced, one doctor clinic, which often times results in extended wait times. While we make every attempt to keep appointment times consistent, often times, emergency situations arise and completely throw off our schedule. Due to the recent surge in pet care demands, we are currently not accepting new clients at this time.
We will resume accepting new pets and their owners as soon as conditions allow us. Because we are a one doctor practice, our ability to offer emergency after-hours services is sometimes limited. In such cases, we ask that you have a back up plan in place should an emergency arise that Dr. Shelnutt cannot respond to in a reasonable time frame. Below is a list of "true" veterinary emergency clinics that are within driving distance.
Along with these clinics, other local veterinarians may be able to assist you as well. Dr. Ben Shelnutt is well known and well loved by much of the surrounding area.

Our wellness programs are designed to prevent disease and prolong the lives of your companion animals.
We strive to prevent illness whenever possible.
Early diagnosis of illness can lead your pet to a longer, healthier life.
Since our pets age quicker than us, regular exams are important to allow your veterinarian to evaluate your pet's overall health and become aware of any problems before they become serious illnesses.
Our Wellness programs include a comprehensive physical exam; internal parasite testing; heartworm and flea control; vaccination program; spay and neuter services; and specialized blood tests for all stages of life.

It may seem like only yesterday that your pet was a playful puppy or curious kitten, but your pet's health needs change as they age.
Just like humans, pets need to visit their doctors more often as they get older to keep them healthy.
For senior pets, prevention is important.
Arthritis, skin conditions, difficulty with hearing or vision, kidney disease, diabetes, hypothyroidism, and hyperthyroidism are common among senior pets.
Routine checkups, bloodwork, and other health screenings are important as part of their routine medical care.

Does your pet wear a collar and tag?
What would happen if those were lost?
Microchipping has become a popular and safe way to provide permanent identification that cannot be lost.
A microchip is a small electronic chip about the size of a grain of rice placed under your pet's skin.
It is injected easily with a needle similar to a vaccination needle.
Each microchip is identifiable by an individualized number registered in a pet tracking database service.
If your pet should become lost and picked up or taken to a shelter or rescue group, they use a hand-held scanner to read the chip, contact the registration service, and contact you to reunite you with your pet.
