At Alma Animal Hospital, we understand that some procedures or situations may cause stress for your pet. Through gentle sedation or tranquilization, we help ease their anxiety while ensuring safety and comfort. Whether it’s for travel, grooming, or medical care, our goal is to create a calm space where your pet feels secure and deeply cared for throughout the process.
There are moments when your pet needs to be completely still for a procedure, and that’s where general anaesthesia becomes essential. At Alma Animal Hospital, we administer it with care and precision, always prioritizing your companion’s safety and comfort. From start to recovery, we remain present and vigilant, knowing that every breath matters when they’re in our hands.
Once your pet is in our care, we watch over them as if they were our own. Patient monitoring at Alma Animal Hospital is a constant, compassionate commitment—whether during procedures, recovery, or illness. We pay attention to every heartbeat, breath, and subtle change, because your pet’s well-being deserves more than just medical attention—it deserves presence and empathy.
Not every procedure requires deep sedation. At Alma Animal Hospital, we use local anaesthesia to numb specific areas, ensuring your pet experiences minimal discomfort during minor treatments. It allows us to keep them comfortable while remaining alert. It’s a thoughtful approach that respects their boundaries and keeps their tails wagging even after the smallest procedures.
When breathing becomes a struggle, it can be heartbreaking—for you and your pet. At Alma Animal Hospital, we offer oxygen therapy to support those fragile moments, helping pets regain strength and balance. Whether it’s after surgery, trauma, or illness, we gently guide their lungs back to rhythm, giving them a peaceful breath and you a hopeful sigh of relief.
Sometimes your pet needs to stay a little longer to heal properly. At Alma Animal Hospital, our hospitalization services provide a space where care continues even when you’re not there. From warm blankets to gentle monitoring, we offer comfort and attention at every hour. It’s more than medical care—it’s a place where your pet is never alone.
Blood pressure tells us more than numbers—it tells us how your pet is truly doing on the inside. At Alma Animal Hospital, we use blood pressure monitoring to watch over their heart health, kidney function, and stress levels. It’s a quiet but powerful tool that helps us support their wellness journey with thoughtful, timely care.
For pets managing diabetes or unexpected energy changes, knowing glucose levels quickly is vital. At Alma Animal Hospital, our in-house glucose testing gives us immediate insight into your pet’s condition. Whether it’s a shaky morning or an emergency episode, we’re able to respond with care that’s rooted in understanding—and a deep sense of urgency and love.
Alma Animal Hospital is a privately owned, family-run veterinary clinic built on the same values that have guided Alta Vista Animal Hospital in Dunbar since 1998. Our new facility continues that legacy of compassionate care, now in a modern setting designed to support pets and families with reliable, community-based veterinary services.
