- Your pet’s eyes, nose, mouth, and teeth
- A full check of your pet’s skin and coat
- Check for any issues with your pet’s limbs and joints
- Create a baseline for heart rate, weight, temperature, and respiratory rate

Proper dental care requires a strong partnership of at-home care and professional care in our clinic. Cleanings involve removing hardened calculus from above and below the gumline, polishing the teeth and applying fluoride to reduce any future buildup.
Our dental services include:
- Full-mouth dental X-rays

- Fluoride treatments with every dental procedure
- Tooth extractions as needed
Spay And Neuter Clinic
Spayed and neutered pets can live a longer, healthier life. You can rest assured your companion is in good hands, as our doctors perform these surgeries regularly.
Our Spay and Neuter Clinic is offered at no cost for the general public and includes a pre-surgical physical examination, routine blood work and pain management, as well as anesthesia and the surgical procedure with one night of hospitalization after the surgery. The patient must meet a minimum level of health during the preoperative physical examination to be eligible for the surgery. These surgeries form part of the training for our students and are carried out under the direct supervision of surgeons. This service has been in operation for many years and has been very successful in reducing pet overpopulation in St. Kitts.
Emergency Care
Unfortunately, problems with our pets don't always happen during regular hours. At dinner time, in the middle of the night, or in the early morning hours, we're here for you. We know your pet is a member of the family and our best-in-class care is always available to pets in need.
If you encounter a medical emergency outside regular office hours, we ask that you call our 24-hour emergency line at 869-662-7080.
