Kings Trail Animal Hospital

Kings Trail Animal Hospital is a full-service small animal hospital, providing medical, surgical, and dental services for pets (dogs, cats, and small mammals).

Most of our clients see their pets as members of their families. We feel the same way . That's why we understand that your trust in us presents a special responsibility to us and one that we don't take lightly. Our goal is to give your pet the same level of care we would give our own pets.

We place a major emphasis on personal attention and client education. Our mission takes us far beyond treating sick and injured pets; we also strive to teach you how to properly care for your animal companion and prevent diseases. We want to assure you the highest degree of enjoyment of a healthy pet.

We welcome any suggestions you have for us. And, please remember that we welcome your referrals.

Our fees support the most progressive diagnostic, therapeutic, and surgical services we can provide. We make every effort to insure that all fees are fair and reasonable, and you are encouraged to discuss charges before services are performed. Written estimates are provided upon request. Payment is expected at the time services are rendered. A reasonable advance payment (deposit) may be required for hospitalized pets. We accept cash, personal checks, MasterCard, Visa and Discover. We also offer a healthcare financing plan through CareCredit.
