| Healthcare Services  Compassionate and comprehensive healthcare services set our practice apart from many other veterinary providers. These include: Time with the Veterinarian. We believe that clients deserve to receive more than thirty seconds with the vet. You will find that our appointments are scheduled so as not to overlap, and our veterinarians have time to fully discuss your pet's healthcare needs with you. Clients are encouraged to ask questions and determine the very best care that may be provided to their animal companions. We care about your pets, and treating them and YOU like family is more than a slogan, it is our entire practice philosophy.
Pain Control. We believe, as in human medicine, that pain control is a critical part of animal treatment. Too often, veterinarians and owners overlook pain in patients because our animals are stoic creatures, bearing pain with little outward indication. Research has shown time and again that our animal friends suffer pain in the same manner we do---and pain is always easier to treat earlier rather than later in the cycle. Our doctors use the latest analgesics and therapies, including acupuncture, to aggressively manage pain. While this is more costly, we would not allow our own pets to endure pain when preventable---and we won't allow yours to either. Pain management is always part of surgery and therapeutic plans, and we will not simply send your pets out the door to endure the painful effects of surgery or disease without medication to alleviate their suffering.
Staffing. Staffing is also a critical difference between our facility and many others. In some clinics, you may find that the Receptionist is also the Vet Tech and the Kennel Person, oft times the only other person in the clinic other than the veterinarian. At All Creatures Animal Hospital, you will find numerous Client Care Specialists to assist you in the Reception Room and on the telephone, multiple Veterinary Nurses in the Examination and Treatment Rooms, providing care and monitoring cleanliness where needed, and a Patient Advocate to track the progress of your animal and contact you with healthcare status information . Having the right number of people to do the job ensures that appointments are kept on time, billing errors are eliminated, and prescriptions are ready when you need them. Our friendly staff sees to all of your pet's needs, while ensuring that your experience with our Hospital is as pleasant and convenient as possible!
Services. Our facility provides routine wellness examinations and preventive care for all stages of your pet's life, including newborns, adolescents, adults, and seniors. Critical health maintenance services may be scheduled including dental care, parasite prevention and treatment, and vaccinations. We have extensive diagnostic and treatment facilities providing the highest quality care for your animals, using cutting-edge technology.
Prices. We are not a "budget" practice, as we provide some of the best and most comprehensive veterinary care available in the Inland Empire. Quotes for our services include the full-price you pay for surgical services, (including hospital bed, surgeon, preanesthesia blood testing, anesthesia, intravenous catheters and fluids time, post-surgical antibiotics and pain medications). We will not quote you a lower fee just to bring you in the door, and then surprise you with expensive add-ons after you arrive.
Quality. At All Creatures Animal Hospital, our level of service and medicine meets or exceeds the standards you would rightfully expect in a human hospital. Internal medicine therapies are utilized before invasive surgery whenever appropriate, and when surgery is required, our exacting standards of care would be familiar to surgeons in human hospitals. Should your pet require the services of a specialist, we regularly refer to tertiary centers of excellence. If you are seeking the best healthcare possible for your animal companions, you will find it at All Creatures Animal Hospital. Here is a brief tour of our facility:
EXAMINATION ROOMS  Our three examination rooms are designed to ensure that patients are given a detailed review while remaining in the owner's presence. Each room is also equipped with a Pet Info Center computer kiosk with touchscreen operation. These kiosks permit the pet owner to review articles on animal care, as well as to view films discussing many areas of pet health. Your veterinarian may also use the computerized diagrams to better illustrate the various disease and anatomical states occurring within your pet. LABORATORY We operate a complete in-clinic laboratory for routine and emergency testing. Rapid diagnosis of disease states is critical to providing effective treatment to ease pain and obtain successful outcomes. In-clinic testing also provides clients with peace of mind, knowing what is troubling their animal before leaving the clinic, rather than waiting to hear results later from an external lab. At the same time, we have the full resources of an outside laboratory for biopsies and more extensive diagnostic studies available on a 24 hour turn-around basis.
PHARMACY A fully-stocked pharmacy ensures that your pets have the drugs they need when they need them. The Pharmacy not only dispenses drugs for in-clinic treatment of inpatients and outpatients, but also maintains all the items you need to fill and refill your pet's prescriptions. RADIOLOGY SUITE Digital radiography provides rapid imaging, allowing quicker diagnosis and earlier treatment, generally without the need to anesthetize the patient to obtain the x-ray. Digital images are also able to be transmitted instantaneously to a specialist via email if tertiary care is required. Ultrasound imaging gives non-invasive internal visualization of problems, reducing the need for exploratory surgery. SURGICAL SUITE Our surgical suite and protocols are equivalent to those of human hospitals. Induction drugs and gas anesthesia allow for fast and easy recovery after surgery, as well as better toleration during the procedure. Placing a breathing tube into the animal's airway permits control of breathing functions should there be a negative reaction during surgery. Full monitoring of all patient vital signs is accomplished through electronic sensors, and a Veterinary Nurse continuously feeds this information to the surgeon. High-energy sonic cutting equipment is used in place of scapels in many surgeries, permitting more precise cuts with less tissue damage and faster healing. All of these features result in better control of the patient's functioning during the surgery and faster recovery and better outcomes for the patient. When surgery is required, endoscopic options permit minimally invasive techniques in areas such as the constricted palates of short-nosed breeds.
