Dedicated to the compassionate and competent care of your pet, we, at Black Creek Veterinary Hospital, strive to provide the highest standards of veterinary medicine by quality client relations, preventative health-care and continuing education of our staff.
Through your pet, we are able to form friendships that last a lifetime. This is the realization of our ultimate goal.
Black Creek Veterinary Hospital is a state-of-the-art veterinary hospital. We offer preventive health care services as well as advanced diagnostic and surgical services. Take a look below at a sampling of the services we can provide for your special friend.
Appointments
Our appointment book is computerized which allows us to efficiently make appointments for you and your pet. Our receptionists and team will attempt to accommodate all requests to the best of our ability. Emergencies are accepted anytime our clinic is open. If you feel you have an emergency with your pet, please call us or come to the hospital immediately. If possible it is best to call before coming in so that a staff member can advise you on your particular emergency.
We offer boarding for your pet here at Black Creek Veterinary Hospital, as well as we maintain a list of local facilities and pet sitters where your pet will be lovingly cared for.
Immunization and Wellness Care
Preventive care is the easiest and most effective way to keep your friend healthy and happy. A complete annual physical exam is the cornerstone of great pet care, and immunizations offer important protection against common and sometimes deadly diseases. Our doctors don't follow a 'one size fits all' protocol for preventive health care, but rather treat each patient as an individual and recommend the best possible protocols for that particular pet.
Dental Care
Dental care is such an important part of a pet's health care. Preventive Care (annual dental exam, proper diet, brushing at home, etc) and Annual Maintenance (thorough cleaning, polishing, and fluoride treatment while pet is under general anesthesia) are needed to assure your pet's mouth and health are in tip top shape. We also provide oral surgery when needed.
If you have questions regarding your dog or cat's dental health or would like more information about oral care please contact our dental hygenist Cherele Mathis @ cherele@blackcreekvet.com
Microchipping
One of the most important things you can do to protect your pet is to assure it's identification. A frightening number of pets enter the animal shelter system each year simply due to the fact that animal control has no means by which to return a pet to it's loving home. Collars and external tags are helpful, and should be used, but can fall off (or be taken off). Microchips are a permanent form of identification. A small chip the size of a grain of rice is implanted under your pets skin in the same manner as giving a vaccine. The chip contains information about your pet and can be read using a special scanner. We will supply you with the means to register your pet's microchip information with a national database. Most veterinary hospitals and animal control agencies have these special scanners and will use them to attempt to identify stray pets. We use HomeAgain microchips.
Anesthesia
We use only the highest quality anesthetics available to provide that extra margin of safety. All anesthetized patients are monitored by a Veterinary Technician from the moment of induction until they are fully recovered. We also monitor each surgery patients heart and respiratory rates, body temperature and arterial oxygen levels (using pulse oximeters).
Advanced Diagnostics
We have a complete in-house laboratory where we routinely perform chemistry profiles, fecal parasite checks, urinalysis and a variety of serology procedures. We also utilize commercial and university veterinary laboratories for specialized diagnostics and consultations.
Radiology
Our on-site, modern digital radiology (X-Ray) equipment provides high quality radiographs to aid in the diagnosis of many disorders.
Surgical Services
We offer the most advanced surgical techniques and technology. All patients are carefully screened for safety, and anesthetics are specifically tailored to your pet. Surgical services and facilities include: experienced veterinary surgeons, fully trained veterinary and technical staff, to ensure the safest, most efficient, state-of-the-art procedures for your pet; advanced sterilization techniques; oxygen saturation monitors; intensive after surgery care and full blood testing.
Ultrasound Diagnostics
This non-invasive, state-of-the-art technology uses sound waves to painlessly examine specific internal organs, primarily the heart and abdominal organs. We utilize a board certified radiologist to schedule ultrasound procedures and interpretations.
Blood Transfusion
In the event of a medical situation where your pet requires a blood transfusion, we are equipped and ready to provide this important service.
Geriatric Care
Just like people, pets need more frequent attention as they get older to prevent and treat illnesses associated with old age. We will recommend the best protocols to help your friend enjoy his golden years with you. Click here to read about Aging and Your Pet.
Nutritional & Dietary Counseling
A good diet is important to your pet at every stage of it's life. We can help you determine what type of diet your pet needs - whether he's growing, needing to lose weight, or fighting a particular illness. For your convenience, we carry a large assortment of high quality pet foods.
Educational Services
We think veterinary medicine is very cool and we love to share details about it with others. We offer Hospital Tours, Grade School Educational Speaking Programs, Pet Club Educational Speaking Programs, and our charity funding Goodwill Program. Please let us know if you're interested in any of these programs.
Complete Pharmacy and Pet Care Products
For your convenience, we maintain a fully stocked pharmacy so that we can fill your prescriptions while you're in the office. We also stock an assortment of pet care products including shampoos, household odor control products, home care dental products, pet treats, collars, and leashes!
Emergency & Urgent Care
We have a veterinarian and personnel on duty 6 days a week who are trained and equipped to handle any urgent care your pet has. 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 snake bite, hit by car, and chocolate ingestion. If you ever feel that 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 also work closely with the Clay Duval Pet Emergency Clinic for after hours and weekend emergencies.
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.

- Dogs
- Cats
- Rabbits
