Wellness, Preventative and Emergency Care Services at Litsey Animal Hospital

Our Fort Worth animal vet clinic offers standard pet wellness services including spay and neuter procedures and vaccinations. Many vaccines, including rabies, require annual boosters, so please visit us annually so we can ensure your pet’s vaccinations are current. If you have a new puppy or kitten in the family, be sure to bring your new addition by our veterinary hospital for a basic health screening and preliminary series of shots.

Our veterinarian, Dr. Terry Litsey, recommends that all pets have an annual wellness screening. Routine, preventive care is essential to keeping your pets healthy. Annual screenings at our Fort Worth veterinary hospital include a full physical and lab tests, and parasite evaluation. We also test for feline leukemia and feline immunodeficiency virus in cats. As your pet ages, we recommend a semi-annual screening with our veterinarian to diagnose and treat many age-related diseases.

Our animal vet clinic offers routine dental care for your pet. Our veterinary dental care treatments clean plaque and tartar build up to prevent gingivitis. Gingivitis is a serious condition, that when left untreated, can result in tooth loss, periodontal disease and bacterial infections that can cause permanent damage to your pet’s internal organs. Annual dental check-ups at our animal vet clinic, along with brushing at home, are essential to protecting your pet's dental health.

We have a veterinarian and personnel on duty 7 days a week who are trained and equipped to handle any urgent care situation for your pet. Usually an emergency team consists of at least one veterinarian and several technicians working together to save a pet's life. Emergencies can be things such a snail bait poisoning, hit by car, and chocolate ingestion. If you ever feel  your pet needs emergency treatment, do not hesitate to call or come in immediately. If possible it is best to call before coming in so that a team member can advise you on your particular emergency.

We are also available for urgent care when the condition is not life-threatening, but you feel your pet needs to be seen before you are able to get an appointment. Our veterinarians will work to "squeeze" you in between scheduled appointments. When you arrive, our receptionists will be able to give you an estimate on how long you may have to wait in order to be seen.
