Services
We offer a number of veterinary services at The Animal Hospital at Rice Hope. We know that visits to the veterinarian are often scary times for your pet, and we take pains to treat your pet as though it were our own. Everyone strives to create a loving, caring atmosphere to better allow your nervous family member to relax while we ensure total health.
Firstly, our pets can't speak, they cannot tell us if they feel off color or unwell or have any other indicators of internal illness. We need to examine them every 6 months as well as run some routine screening tests to detect underlying disease BEFORE it is clinically apparent. Use the age chart below to find your pets age in "people" years and the screening testing recommended for each stage of his or her life.
Many people have questions about various aspects of their pet's surgery, and we hope this information will help. It also explains the decisions you will need to make before your pet's upcoming surgery. Today's modern anesthetic monitors have made surgery much safer than in the past.
Here at Animal Hospital at Rice Hope, we do a thorough physical exam on your pet before administering anesthetics, to ensure that a fever or other illness won't be a problem.We also adjust the amount and type of anesthetic used depending on the health of your pet. The handout on anesthesia explains this in greater detail.

One of the worst places to take your animal. My dog would still be alive if I went ANYWHERE else. The lack of compassion and knowledge makes me question how this place is still in business. The reputation around town will tell you everything you need to know. The lack of professionalism, my poor baby suffered tremendously. Than calling the police to have the owner arrested. What an absolute disgrace to the community. Do not take your animal here. Do your research, ask around in the community. We suffered the ultimate price and we pray no one else does. Less than 48 hours at RH ðŸ˜.

My dogs have been boarded at other facilities and have never caught kennel cough prior to this, despite having had the vaccine. Even at another facility that didn’t require Bordatella, my dogs have never caught it. When I called to inform the boarding facility about this, I was told I’d get a call back to discuss. This never happened. As I was telling the friend who referred me about this, I was informed that their dogs also contracted kennel cough just two weeks prior, which tells me the facility hasn’t been properly cleaned and sanitized for others to board. I’ll never recommend this

I've taken 2 of my cats here, and both experiences were great. The staff is friendly and compassionate. Most recently, my oldest cat had to go in for an emergency check due to continued vomiting throughout the night. The staff kept me updated throughout the day. Even when he was scared and scratched one of the vet techs, they still acted with compassion towards him. It's a lot more than can be said about some of the national hospitals.

My baby developed a pretty nasty ear infection and being new to the area, a friend recommended Dr. Bragg to me. I called did meet a little resistance from the receptionist to get us scheduled in what I felt was a timely matter given the issue, after I explained the issue we were given a drop off appointment for the next day which was great. Got her taken care of and Dr was so nice when she called to give an update.
