Back to Progress 2008 Listing

Pet Street Station Animal Hospital (PSSAH) is celebrating our 7th year of services in our state-of-the-art facility on East River Road (County Rd 32) in the Town of Norwich. We continue to provide a high level of kind and careful medical and surgical care that is typically found only in larger cities.

PSSAH is an accredited hospital member of the American Animal Hospital Association. Only 17% of all companion animal veterinary facilities in the US have met the high level of standards and are distinguished as accredited members of the association. We work very diligently to provide a high level of medical and surgical care at a fraction of the cost of most city hospitals and are rapidly becoming a regional veterinary care center drawing clients and referrals from as far away as Utica, Syracuse and even Buffalo, NY.

In 2007 our surgical services continued to grow. We have an excellent team of doctors and licensed veterinary technicians and the modern equipment necessary to provide these services. Our surgical monitoring includes ECG, blood pressure and pulse oximetry (continuous blood oxygen levels) for every anesthetized patient. We also utilize computerized anesthesia ventilators and have electrosurgical and cryosurgical capabilities. We have a complete and modem computerized laboratory at our fingertips so we can process any needed blood or tissue samples and have results typically within 15 minutes. This allows us to run pre-anesthesia blood work as well as make rapid diagnosis of some ailments so treatment can be correctly started right away. For more complicated cases we can make referrals to specialists in most any field. We can also electronically send ECG and radiographic information (X-rays) over the Internet for evaluation by specialists anywhere in the world.

We employ Licensed Veterinary Technicians that offer much of the same care for pets that registered nurses offer for people. Our credentialed technicians have graduated from a two- or four-year AVMA accredited program with an associate’s or bachelor’s degree in veterinary technology.

We utilize the latest in vaccine technologies employing genetic recombinant and adjuvant-free vaccines whenever possible and even have the most recent development in needle-less vaccine administration. There is a difference in vaccine quality and therefore vaccine safety and we use the cleanest, safest vaccines available.

February is National Pet Dental Health Month and in recognition of this we are offering 10% discount on all dentistry services for the month. Call for a consult exam or schedule dental cleaning for your pampered pet today. Rest assured, untreated dental disease is far more dangerous than any slight risk of general anesthesia with the current medications and equipment available to us today. Chronic dental disease can contribute to heart and kidney disease.

Our kennel and boarding facilities are clean, comfortable, bright, well ventilated and temperature controlled with heat in the floors for your pet’s comfort at all times.

Pets age on average 7 times faster than people. We encourage you to schedule a routine and complete physical exam twice a year for your pet. An exam only once a year for you pet would be the same as you visiting your doctor only once every 7 years! Call 336-PETS for an appointment today or visit us on-line at PetStreetStation.com.
