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 Atlantic Animal Hospital, we do a thorough physical exam on your pet before administering anesthetics.

The Dr and her staff were some of the most caring I have ever met. My long time buddy Rocky was in the most compassionate and loving hands as he was crossing the Rainbow bridge. I highly recommend Atlantic Animal Hosp. For your pets needs.
Thank you all for your loving care.

I just can’t say enough about the love and compassion shown to our family as we had to suddenly say goodbye to our Cheebie. Cheebie was my daughters first cat and they had such a special bond during their 13 1/2 years together. Dr. Leatherbury was amazing that evening but it didn’t stop there. Today, we received a sympathy card with Cheebie’s paw prints from Dr Leatherbury and her staff. How thoughtful and so appreciated by all of us.

Thank you to Dr. Hiler & all the awesome nurses & staff again & again for taking such good care of me. I know I’m not the easiest patient to get along with (sorry I sneezed all over you) but I always go home knowing I will get better. And thank you, too, for explaining to my humans all the nitty gritty. I’ll be back (but not too soon 😉)! ~ Smokey Half-Stash

I used to work at a Vets office and I was horrified when my boss/vet retired leaving me looking for the next best thing for my pets. And while no one can replace Dr. Nickel as he was more than amazing to me and… my pets, I do believe I found the next best thing for my pets at Atlantic Animal Hospital! I am very please with both vets and the staff! I find them all very welcoming, easy to talk to, caring and helpful! #IFoundMyForeverVet :)

Willow went to the vet today to get her second set of shots. She did awesome , she licked peanut butter while the Doctor did his thing. 😂 She was leery upon arrival but did just fine after greeting all the nurses. They loved her. 😊 And we love Atlantic Animal Hospital. The staff are so kind, cheery, and sunny people! ☀️

When I moved here from San Diego I needed to find an office to take my dachshund to for his vet care. We have been coming here for 2 years now and absolutely love it. The staff is very helpful and courteous. I had my 6 month old and my dachshund and was by myself so one of the lady's helped me to the car. My dachshund has had surgery a few times and goes 3 times a year. They're absolutely wonderful and I trust them with my dog. The services are great and worth every penny.
