Surf Paws Animal Hospital

Vaccinations protect your pet against disease. A modified bacteria, parasite or virus is given by injection or intra-nasally, which triggers an immune response within your pet's body to protect against a specific disease.

Preventives kill heartworm larvae before they grow into adult heartworms, and some also control other parasites such as roundworms and hookworms. A monthly preventive should be given to all pets. Mosquitoes can get indoors, so even indoor pets are susceptible.

Regular dental cleanings maintain your pet's teeth and overall health. Our Midmark dental unit includes an ultrasonic scaler, polisher and drill. Scaling removes plaque above and below the gum line, and polishing leaves a smooth surface that resists future buildup.

Our staff is experienced and trained to work with you on your travel requirements, vaccinations and health certification.

We know surgery can be overwhelming. That's why we offer patient-tailored anesthesia, pre-anesthetic blood screening, coagulation profiles and post-operative pain management.

We believe every pet deserves a long, healthy life cruising by your side. Scheduling a spay or neuter is one of the most impactful choices you can make for your furry co-pilot.

Our clinic offers a wide variety of soft tissue surgeries, from spaying and neutering to exploratory abdominal surgery. Orthopedic procedures are referred to veterinary specialists on the island.

Our in-house lab lets us test and monitor kidney, liver and pancreas disease, anemia, platelet counts and more. We also test in-house for heartworm, Giardia, Lyme, Ehrlichia, Parvovirus, fecal parasites, feline leukemia and FIV. Commercial labs are used for specialized diagnostics such as histopathology.

Digital X-rays are the standard of care for top veterinary practices, captured in seconds and saved to your pet's medical record. Ultrasound is a painless way to look at internal organs, and also guides biopsies, stem cell injections and catheter placement.

Skin allergies and itching are the second most common reason dogs visit the vet, and a top complaint for cats too. Since ear infections and hot spots often stem from allergies, allergic problems are the number one reason dogs come to see us.

Our holistic approach views the body as a whole. The goal is to stimulate the body's own natural healing abilities to restore health and balance.

We isolate stem cells from your pet's own fat tissue, activate them, and inject them directly into damaged areas. In arthritis, for example, they can become new cartilage cells, reducing pain and improving mobility.
