Pet Hospital-Hilo Clinic

We perform thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams to evaluate your pet’s overall health, detect early signs of illness, and establish a baseline for their well-being. Our exams include evaluations of weight, dental health, coat condition, and organ function to ensure a proactive approach to their care.

We offer Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages tailored to newborn and young pets. These include health assessments, age-appropriate vaccinations (e.g., core and lifestyle), deworming, microchipping, spay/neuter counseling, nutrition guidance, and behavior/socialization advice to set them up for a healthy life.

For aging pets, we provide specialized Senior Pet Wellness Care with annual exams, geriatric bloodwork (e.g., liver/kidney/ thyroid panels), and early disease detection. Our team helps manage seniors’ health needs, addressing mobility, chronic conditions, and end-of-life comfort with compassion.

We administer all Core Vaccinations (Rabies, Distemper, Parvo), which are critical for preventing severe diseases in pets. Vaccination schedules are tailored to your pet’s age, lifestyle, and regional risks (e.g., Hawaii-specific hazards) to maximize protection.

We offer annual Heartworm Testing and prevention programs, including FDA-approved medications, for dogs and cats. Heartworm disease is a serious risk in tropical climates like Hawaii, and our preventive strategies include testing, medications, and education on symptom monitoring.

As part of our Parasite Prevention services, we provide flea and tick prevention treatments tailored to Hawaii’s environment. We recommend seasonal products based on local climate risks, along with environmental assessments to protect pets and households.

We offer Microchipping & Registration as a mandatory and safe identification method for pets. Hawaii State Law now requires microchipping, and we register pets in national databases to ensure quick reunification if they go missing. The procedure is fast, painless, and permanent.

Our Nutritional Counseling service includes personalized diet plans, weight management strategies, and guidance on choosing high-quality pet food. We address common issues like obesity, allergies, and metabolic diseases through dietary adjustments and supplementation recommendations.

We provide Parasite Deworming treatments to combat intestinal parasites (e.g., roundworms, hookworms) in pets. Routine fecal testing and deworming protocols are especially important for puppies, kittens, and pets with outdoor exposure to Hawaii’s soil and wildlife.

Through our Behavioral Counseling service, we address issues like aggression, anxiety, house training, and separation problems. Our team collaborates with pet owners to create customized behavior modification plans, including training tips and recommendations for professional help when needed.

Our In-House Bloodwork service includes Complete Blood Counts (CBC) and Chemistry Panels, allowing rapid diagnosis of anemia, infections, organ dysfunction, and metabolic disorders. Same-day results enable us to adjust treatment plans promptly, from geriatric screenings to postoperative monitoring.

We perform Urinalysis as part of routine and diagnostic exams to assess kidney function, urinary tract infections (UTIs), diabetes, and other conditions. Early detection through urinalysis helps prevent chronic diseases and improves treatment outcomes for your pet’s urinary health.

Routine Fecal Testing is offered to detect intestinal parasites, bacterial infections, and protozoa in pets. This service is vital for puppies, kittens, and active outdoor pets exposed to contaminated environments in Hawaii, ensuring timely treatment to prevent complications.

Our clinic provides Digital X-Rays, offering advanced imaging for fractures, organ evaluation, dental assessments, and foreign body detection. Digital radiography provides high-resolution images instantly, aiding in accurate diagnoses for conditions ranging from arthritis to post-surgical checks.

We offer Allergy Testing to identify environmental, food, or flea allergies in pets causing skin irritation, ear infections, or gastrointestinal issues. Diagnostic tests may include skin biopsies, intradermal testing, or blood panels, followed by tailored treatment plans like hypoallergenic diets or medications.

As part of our Dental Care, we perform Tooth Extractions for severely decayed, fractured, or impacted teeth under anesthesia with pain management. Extensive oral exams and Dental X-Rays guide our approach to ensure optimal oral health and comfort.

Our clinic performs Spay & Neuter Surgery to prevent unwanted litters, reduce disease risks (e.g., cancers, infections), and improve overall pet health. We use sterile techniques, postsurgical pain management, and personalized recovery instructions to ensure a smooth healing process.

Our surgeons perform Foreign Body Removal for pets that ingest or inhale objects like bones, toys, or plants. Using Digital X-Rays and endoscopy if needed, we safely remove debris from the digestive tract or respiratory system to prevent perforations or obstructions.

We specialize in C-Section procedures for breeds prone to difficult births (e.g., Bulldogs, Pugs, Frenchies), where vaginal delivery poses risks for mother or puppies. Our skilled surgeons prioritize maternal and neonatal health, offering pre- and post-operative care for high-risk litters.

We provide Hospitalization & 24-Hour Monitoring for pets requiring intensive care, including post-surgery recovery, chronic disease management, or emergency stabilization. Our ICU-like environment includes oxygen therapy, IV fluids, and close observation by our staff to ensure recovery.

Our Pain Management services include a range of options from NSAIDs for mild discomfort to injectable or oral medications for severe pain (e.g., post-surgery). We also offer glucosamine supplements for arthritis and work with owners to develop long-term comfort plans for chronic conditions.

In cases of accidental ingestion of toxic substances (e.g., ibuprofen, chocolate, Hawaii-specific plants like lilies), we provide Poison & Toxin Treatment including induced vomiting, activated charcoal, IV fluids, and symptomatic care to minimize damage to your pet’s organs.

Our clinic utilizes Cold Laser Therapy to reduce pain, inflammation, and swelling in pets with arthritis, post-surgical recovery, wounds, or injuries. This non-invasive treatment promotes healing, improves mobility, and reduces reliance on medications for conditions like hip dysplasia or hot spots.

We provide Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation services, including passive range-of-motion exercises, laser therapy, and hydrotherapy (external treadmills). These therapies aid pets recovering from surgery, injuries, or chronic conditions like cruciate ligament tears or degenerative joint disease.

We offer Standard Pet Boarding for current clients (dogs only), providing a safe and monitored environment with daily care for pets needing temporary accommodation. Our facility includes playtime, controlled feeding, and space for rest, though emergency cases take priority.

We offer Quality of Life Assessment consultations for senior pets or those with chronic illnesses. This collaborative process helps owners evaluate their pet’s comfort, mobility, appetite, and happiness to make informed decisions about ongoing care or end-of-life options.
