Christensen Animal Hospital

We offer comprehensive physical exams to develop a record of your pet’s overall health and identify potential medical issues before they become serious problems. We encourage annual exams for pets under 7 years old and bi-annual exams for senior pets.

We provide preventative medicine starting early for puppies and kittens, assessing their overall health and making recommendations based on individual needs. This includes nutritional counseling, parasite screening, vaccinations, and behavioral training.

We offer bi-annual wellness visits for senior pets (around 7 years old) to monitor their health closely and catch potential problems early. We focus on prevention and improving quality of life.

We believe vaccines are an important part of your pet’s healthcare plan to protect them from preventable infectious diseases. Rabies vaccinations are required by law in Illinois.

We strongly recommend microchipping every pet so they can be reunited with you if lost. A microchip is your pet’s permanent ID, and we offer the service during routine visits.

Our staff is well-trained in nutrition and will help devise a plan specific for your pet’s needs. We review current physical needs, history, and medications to support overall health.

We screen your animal for harmful parasites and educate you on how to reduce risk for your kitten or puppy and how to prevent and control disease throughout all life stages.

Our in-hospital laboratory enables us to perform screening tests for your pets within a very short period of time. The faster we are able to diagnose your pet’s health issue the faster we can treat it.

We use state-of-the-art digital x-ray equipment for a fast, safe, and accurate diagnosis of your pet’s problems. Digital images are high quality and can be shared quickly with specialists.

We offer ultrasound exams as a safe, noninvasive way to visualize internal organs without surgery. It helps us identify tumors, cysts, stones, and inflammation.

We can remove foreign material from the GI tract using endoscopy, often with minimal invasion to the patient.

We have a veterinarian and personnel on duty 6 days a week who are trained and equipped to handle any urgent care your pet has. We accept emergencies anytime our clinic is open.

We provide hospitalization services with 24-hour monitoring for pets needing intensive care and recovery support.

Our philosophy is that your pet should not be in pain. We employ a multimodal approach to manage pain which includes medications, nutritional counseling, environmental modification, laser therapy, and rehabilitation.

Christensen Animal Hospital is pleased to offer dog grooming. Good grooming is essential for maintaining your dog’s overall health and well-being.

We provide nail trimming services as part of our medical grooming options.
