Additional Veterinary Services
Beyond core medical and surgical care, Atlas Animal Hospital provides a range of additional services that support your pet's complete health needs. From on-site dispensing to specialist referrals and hospitalization, our 24/7 facility ensures every aspect of your pet's care is covered under one roof. Whether you need a refill, a specialist opinion, or around-the-clock monitoring for a critically ill pet, our team is ready to help at any hour.
On-Site Dispensing
Our in-house dispensing service provides convenient access to veterinary products your pet may need, from flea and tick preventives to post-surgical support and chronic condition management. Having products available on-site means your pet's care plan can begin immediately, without the delay of external ordering. Our dispensing service is available 24/7, so you never have to wait for essential products. We stock a comprehensive range of preventives, post-operative support products, and chronic condition management supplies. We also maintain an online store for convenient home delivery of veterinary products, preventives, and supplements your pet uses regularly.
Veterinary Specialist Referrals
Some conditions require advanced expertise beyond general practice. Atlas works with a network of board-certified specialists in oncology, cardiology, neurology, and advanced surgery. We coordinate referrals, share diagnostic records, and ensure continuity of care between our team and the specialist. When a referral is made, our team provides all relevant diagnostic history, imaging, and lab results to the specialist in advance. This eliminates redundant testing and ensures a seamless transition of care. After the specialist visit, we continue managing your pet's ongoing needs locally.
Hospitalization
Pets recovering from surgery, managing severe illness, or requiring continuous monitoring benefit from in-hospital care. Atlas provides 24/7 hospitalization with a veterinarian always on-site. We monitor vital signs, administer fluids and veterinary products, and provide comfort care throughout your pet's stay. Our hospitalized patients receive around-the-clock attention, including regular comfort checks, nutritional support, and communication with their families. We understand how stressful it is to leave your pet in our care, and we provide updates as frequently as you need them. Hospitalization at Atlas includes a clean, temperature-controlled environment with separate spaces for dogs and cats to minimize stress during recovery.
In-House Glucose Testing
For diabetic pets, regular glucose monitoring is essential to maintaining stable blood sugar levels. Our in-house glucose testing provides rapid results, allowing real-time adjustments to your pet's management plan. We also offer glucose curves and ongoing monitoring. We work with pet owners to establish a home monitoring routine and provide training on recognizing signs of glucose fluctuations. Regular in-clinic glucose curves complement at-home monitoring for optimal management.
Veterinary Products and Supplements
We carry a selection of veterinary-grade products including joint supplements, digestive support, skin health formulations, and dental care products. Our team recommends products based on your pet's individual health profile. Visit our Online Store for convenient ordering. Supplements are never a substitute for veterinary care, but they can play a valuable supporting role in managing conditions like arthritis, digestive sensitivities, and skin health. We guide you toward evidence-based products that have documented benefits for your pet's specific condition. We recommend scheduling a consultation before starting any new supplement to ensure it does not interact with existing veterinary products or conditions.
