Services

At Snoqualmie Valley Animal Hospital, we understand how important your pet is to you. We understand that your pet is your companion, friend and confidant, and it shows in the care we provide. Most importantly, we do everything with a smile and a friendly face. We want you and your pet to feel as comfortable in our home as you do in yours. To provide the best possible care, we created a fully functioning hospital with the following services:

Health Examinations

The best way to treat medical problems is to prevent them. We recommend scheduling yearly health examinations for your pet along with regular vaccinations and biannual screenings for intestinal worms and external parasites. Regular preventative care significantly reduces the chance of harmful, costly, and potentially painful conditions.

Diagnosis

SVAH has the expertise and technological capability to properly assess your pet's condition and, in doing so, provide the appropriate treatment. Our in-house labs enable us to perform routine diagnostics instantly.

Anesthesia

Our pets are members of our families. At SVAH we do not consider any anesthetic procedure 'routine'. Anesthesia is performed using drugs and monitoring equipment very similar to those used on people undergoing surgery. We use a combination of injectable and inhalant (isoflurane) anesthetics. Anesthetic protocols vary with breed, age, and health problems and are tailored to provide the safest procedure possible.

Surgery

Our surgery suite uses an EKG, automatic blood-pressure monitor, pulse oximetry blood oxygenation monitors, Bair Hugger heated blankets, hot water blankets, positive pressure suction, esophageal stethoscopes, and heat cautery. During surgery a nurse monitors anesthesia and all vital parameters. After surgery, all patients have a veterinary technician to monitor them from extubation till when they are discharged to their owners.

Dentistry

Non-Anesthetic Full Dentistry

Anesthetic Dentistry and Oral Surgery

Geriatric Care

As we age regular exams and medical testing help to keep us healthy. The same is true of our pets. We recommend blood and urine testing every two years for pets over five years and annually for pets over 8 years of age. This establishes a baseline for comparing illness values and serves as an essential tool in disease screening.

Housecalls

You will often hear us recommending Dr. Mike Treuting. Originally a Louisiana boy, "Dr. Mike" hails from Preston now, and runs a house call practice for small animals. He's an incredibly nice guy, a fantastic veterinarian, and if you're really nice to him, he cooks some amazing Cajun! He can be reached through Treuting Veterinary House Calls at 425.766.8333.

Genetic Breed Testing

We are proud to offer the Mars Wisdom Panel, a dog DNA test that tests from 230 different canine breeds. A blood sample is taken here at our clinic and sent to the lab where you receive a report back of your dog's breed profile(s), ancestry of each breed, a frame-able certificate, and much more information. A dog’s ancestry can influence him/her in surprising ways, plus, this test is just plain fun!

Grooming

Dr. Teri's brother-in-law Miguel owns and operates 4 Paws Mobile Grooming. Miguel is great with animals and you will often hear us referring clients to him for regular grooming and bathing needs. His services include: warm massaging bathes, breed standard haircuts, ear cleaning, nail trims, and anal gland expression. He can be reached at 425-888-PAWS (7297) or through his website at www.4pawsmobilegrooming.com.
