Kindness Animal Hospital: Hoffeld Erika DVM

We provide tailored annual wellness exams for every cat and dog to evaluate their overall health, identify potential issues early, and ensure a long, happy life. Our examinations are customized to your pet’s individual needs, just like their vaccination schedules. Early detection is the foundation of preventative care, and we are committed to proactive health monitoring for your companion animals.

We create personalized vaccination plans focused on your pet’s lifestyle and risk factors. Core vaccinations like rabies, distemper, and parvo are prioritized to protect dogs and cats from serious diseases. Our team educates you on the importance of immunizations tailored to your pet’s specific needs, ensuring the best defense against common illnesses.

Heartworm prevention is a critical part of our holistic care approach. We perform regular heartworm testing and provide tailored prevention plans to safeguard your pet from this serious and often fatal disease. Early intervention and consistent protection are key to preventing heartworm-related complications.

We offer comprehensive flea and tick prevention solutions to protect your pet from parasites, diseases like Lyme, and associated skin issues. Our in-house pharmacy stocks high-quality preventatives, and we’ll work with you to choose a product that best fits your pet’s lifestyle and needs.

Proper nutrition is essential for your pet’s long-term health. We provide expert guidance on feeding habits, dietary needs, and managing weight to prevent obesity-related diseases. Whether it’s puppy growth stages, senior pet diets, or special conditions, we tailor nutritional plans to ensure optimal wellness for your companion animals.

As part of our preventative health care, we perform intestinal parasite deworming to eliminate parasites that can cause gastrointestinal issues, weaken your pet’s immune system, or lead to more severe disease. We discuss deworming schedules during examinations and annual wellness visits.

Our on-site laboratory and diagnostic services include advanced digital X-ray imaging, allowing us to accurately diagnose internal injuries, illnesses, or conditions like fractures, cancer, and organ abnormalities. Accurate diagnostics are key to developing a precise treatment plan for your pet.

As part of our dental care services, we offer digital dental X-rays to detect hidden dental issues that aren’t visible to the naked eye, like root infections or bone loss. These diagnostics help us provide thorough dental cleanings, treatments, and early interventions for periodontal diseases.

We perform spay and neuter procedures as part of our preventive care routine to reduce the risk of reproductive cancers, unwanted litters, and certain behavioral issues. These surgeries provide long-term health benefits for pets of all ages and are conducted in our modern surgical suite with safety top of mind.

We routinely perform foreign body removal surgeries for items like swallowed objects or embedded debris. Our team uses diagnostic imaging and precise surgical techniques to safely and effectively retrieve foreign materials, avoiding further digestive or internal damage.

During office hours, we provide emergency stabilization services for critically ill or injured pets, including initial evaluation, triage, and stabilization of life-threatening conditions. For after-hours emergencies, we offer guidance and partner with local emergency veterinary hospitals to ensure continuous care.

We provide round-the-clock care for pets needing continuous monitoring, whether for surgery recovery, emergency conditions, or chronic illnesses requiring overnight observation. Our dedicated staff ensures pets receive attentive and responsive care during their entire hospitalization.

We administer oxygen therapy for pets experiencing respiratory distress, post-anesthesia recovery, or other oxygen-dependent conditions. Our team monitors your pet closely to ensure they receive the precise level of oxygen their condition requires as part of comprehensive in-clinic care.

IV fluid therapy is a crucial component of our treatment for dehydration, shock, and chronic illnesses that cause imbalances in electrolyte levels. We customize fluid therapy protocols for each patient’s needs to restore hydration and support overall health recovery.

Comfort is a priority for your pet. We provide personalized pain management strategies for all stages of care—pre-, during, and post-surgery—as well as for chronic conditions. Our approach may include medications, laser therapy, and other modalities tailored to your pet’s specific needs.

Pet poisoning emergencies require immediate intervention, and we provide rapid stabilization and treatment for ingestion of toxins, medications, or harmful substances. Our team monitors affected pets for reactions and administers supportive care like IV fluids, activated charcoal, or anti-venom when necessary.

We offer non-invasive, pain-free cold laser therapy (photobiomodulation) to accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and alleviate pain post-surgery or for chronic conditions like arthritis. This drug-free treatment enhances recovery without causing discomfort or downtime, making it a valuable addition to our comprehensive care plan.

If you’re relocating your pet within the country or across state lines, we issue domestic travel certificates to comply with state and local regulations. Whether it’s for moving or traveling, our team ensures you get the required documentation hassle-free for a smooth journey.

We conduct sensitive quality-of-life evaluations for senior pets to guide care decisions that prioritize comfort, mobility, and happiness. These assessments help us and you make informed choices about ongoing treatment, symptom management, or end-of-life planning based on your pet’s well-being.
