Evan and the support team at LHVC provide a comprehensive range of general animal care services. We provide preventative and diagnostic treatments for cats and dogs, as well as reptiles, birds, rabbits, rodents, ferrets and exotic species. This includes vaccinations, micro- chipping, heartworm prevention, preventative health care and

surgery.

We provide soft tissue and orthopaedic surgical services onsite. If your pet presents with a serious condition that requires more extensive or unusual surgery, Evan will provide a referral for a specialist surgeon. We also have visiting specialists for prearranged consultations and procedures, including ophthalmology and orthopaedics. LHVC has their own intensive care facilities, with separate hospital areas for dogs and cats.
