Animal Rescue  There are many ways you can help homeless, unwanted, abanded animals right here in our area.

ADOPT... a pet from a local non-profit, NO KILL, rescue group that cares for unwanted and abandoned animals.  Most of these groups focus on having every animal spayed/neutered, placed temporarily into loving foster homes and then adopted out to a permanent home.

FOSTER...rescued pets always need a place to stay...consider becoming a foster.  Many cats and dogs just need a temorary home until they are adopted.  Fostering a rescued pet involves a great responsibily and results in even greater rewards!  

DONATE...when you donate money towards animal rescue, you are saving more than just one pet.  A large protion of donationed money is used to sterilize cats & dogs.  Having an animal spayed or neutered instantly saves a litter of kittens or puppies from being homeless or abandoned.

TELL your friends & family...a surprising number of pets find homes through casual conversations.  Tell people you know about homeless pets you see online, at the vet's office, or on posted signs.  Your friend, family member, neighbor, or coworker might be able to help!

PARKVIEW PRICES   The final cost for veterinary care depends on the diagnosis and prescribed treatment for each individual pet.  Answering the question of "how much will it cost?" can sometimes be difficult.  Our doctors will first need to examine your pet before they can accurately discuss the diagnosis, proper treatment and final cost.

SCHEDULING   Routine appointments (exams, vaccines, nail trims, etc.) should be scheduled ahead of time to ensure an opening with a doctor or a technician. All surgeries are scheduled Monday through Friday by appointment only. Surgical admissions begin at 8AM and end at 10AM.  Surgical discharges start at 5PM and end at 7PM -- with the exception of feline declaw surgeries.  All declaw patients stay overnight at our hospital and are discharged the following day after 11AM.  All scheduled surgeries require the patient to fast after 9PM the night before surgery.

Water is fine for the patient up until time of surgery, however except for exotics, no food should be consumed after 9 PM the night before a surgery.

If your pet is left with us for any surgical procedure, we will contact you when the surgery is completed. At this time we can give you an accurate update of your pet’s condition and schedule a time for you to take your pet home.

Emergency Surgeries will take place by doctor’s discretion.

PARKVIEW OFFERS LASER SURGERY   We recommend all surgical procedures be done with the laser. Using the laser, as apposed to a traditional scalpel, will result in less swelling, less pain and faster healing for your pet. This new technology is available at our hospital and recommended by all Parkview doctors and staff.

ADDITIONAL COMFORT   Comfort pain injections are also recommended for all surgical procedures. Your pet will be given pain medication that stays in their system for 24 hours after the surgery is completed.  This injection provides extra comfort for your pet and additional peace of mind for you, the owner.  

WHEN EUTHANASIA IS THE HUMANE CHOICE   Saying a final goodbye to your pet is one of the hardest things you’ll ever do. We understand the emotional loss and heartache involved in this decision. When humane euthanasia is the best decision for your pet, we offer options to best suit your needs. For those who would like to be present during the procedure we provide a private room, doctor’s consultation, a clay paw memorial and as much time as you need to say your goodbye’s. We also understand that it may be better for you to let us take care of your pet during these difficult times. You may choose to leave your pet in our care to complete the euthanasia process in a timely and caring manner. We offer private cremation or group cremation as well as standard or special order urns. Our staff is here to make this difficult time as painless as possible.
