Services
Sanford Animal Hospital was built and founded at its current location by Dr. William K. Settle in 1959. After two decades of being Sanford's country veterinarian, Dr. Bill expanded and renovated his building. In 1980, his daughter, Dr. Katherine Settle, came back home to Sanford to practice veterinary medicine with her husband, Dr. John Shontz.
Sanford Animal Hospital offers preventive care and services for kittens, puppies, cats, and dogs. Bringing your pet to one of our veterinarians for a physical exam is the smartest and easiest way to keep them healthy. Exams allow our veterinarians to detect problems and diseases that might go undiscovered otherwise, including heart murmurs, tumors, enlarged organs, cataracts, ear infections, ear mites, dental disease, skin issues and allergies.
At Sanford Animal Hospital, our goal is keeping your pet happy and healthy. Thanks to modern diagnostics and our on-site laboratory, we're able to do just that for sick and injured pets. Diagnostic imaging allows us to examine your pet's internal organs and body systems to better diagnose their conditions.
Dental care is an essential part of your pet's overall health. When oral hygiene is neglected, pets can develop dental disease which negatively affects other systems in the body and may lead to tooth loss. A pet's dental health is just as important as their physical health, however, it often goes overlooked.
Sanford Animal Hospital provides veterinary surgical care and services for cats and dogs. Using state-of-the-art equipment and an experienced team, we'll provide your pet with high-quality surgery in a safe, stress-free and relaxing environment. Our team of skilled veterinarians and technicians are ready to provide your pet with a range of surgeries.

Our kitty Smokey was attacked by our neighbors dogs on our property. We contacted SAH enroute and they were ready for us on arrival. They were amazing, unfortunately the dogs dislocated her femur and shattered 2 of her lower vertebrae. The damage to our kitty was beyond repair. We had to put her down to our dismay. SAH was amazing in their care and comfort for Smokey and us. They did all they could do for Smokey and helped us say goodbye.

Dr. Kenny took care of Annabelle in a quick and efficient manner alleviating any concerns on my part about her health. I was out of the state when my dog was injured and a friend took her to see Dr. Kenny. Annabelle is just fine and I was able to relax and enjoy the remainder of my trip knowing Dr. Kenny had taken care of my baby girl and made sure she was OK and taken care of.

I am a local house call veterinarian who has been referring clients for walk-in urgent care, dentistry, and other services that I can not provide. I love Sanford Animal Hospital! My customers love them, they are always treated very well. On a professional level, they are always helpful with sharing crucial medical records so that patient care is never compromised. Excellent service, excellent care! Thank you Sanford Animal Hospital for all you do for our community, pet owners, and patients!

After learning my 2 1/2 yr old Reacue Lab mix was rapidly going lame, I took him to SAH. The compassion & care they rendered were remarkable. There were no surgery options & pain management. Dr Walsh told me to consider acupuncture & laser treatments as they’ve seen wonderful results. After much consideration, I called to schedule the treatment… appt. We are so very blessed to have Dr Petozski, who is trained in the art of acupuncture & her Technician, Tara trained in the laser therapy. He was very anxious in the beginning but now looks forward to his weekly sessions

They fit in my cat Sylvia late afternoon almost immediately. The vet called me several times to personally explain what was going on & what she recommended & broke the price down to me and they didn’t do any services without my consent like I’ve had happen in the past. I felt very taken care of and my cat is feeling much better and already back to herself. Thank you very much!

If I could give this clinic no stars I would. Michelle (who answers the phones) is great, friendly, and kind. Beyond that my visit there was a huge waste of time and money. My dog has been vomiting for 7 days, can't keep food down, and this is a pattern over 3 years that is only getting worse. She was given an X-ray and nothing abnormal was found. We were offered bloodwork (another 160) but told the results probably would be inconclusive because the vet thinks our dog has developed IBS even though she never has diarrhea or some of the other symptoms of IBS. She then recommended prescription

My sweet little dog injured her hip and I was able to call and get seen immediately. The caring and concern of the staff is wonderful. My little dog was in pain and nervous, I was a mess because she was in such pain. They took care of my precious little dog and they showed me kindness and concern and support through the entire process. I cannot thank them enough for what they did.

This is coming from a 20 year old guy who rarely posts reviews on places. However, when it comes to a loved one considered a huge part of the family after 15 years I had to leave this one. Only thing bad about this place is that people aren't lined up around the building to see them. In the past my dog has visited another animal hospital but today was our first time here. I can't even explain how highly I'd recommend them. Dr. Vasquez was VERY knowledgeable, kind, caring and her assistant was just as amazing as she was. Both of these ladies really cared about my dog and he's

We needed to use them for boarding due to a death in the family. As usual most Vets want to charge a bunch of add ons. Well we declined...Upon picking up my dogs I inquired about the grooming services and nail trim. I was given a round about amount for the grooming and a flat 10 charge for nail trim. Was told that there was no appt necessary to bring in my larger dog for a nail trim. A few weeks later I made the appt for my smaller dog to be groomed. Let me just say Amanda was very fast and did a great job with my dog. But from the moment I bought him in! I felt like I was harassed to have additional

We recently moved here so I decided to take my Booboo here to be groomed. They did an excellent job. The staff there were very friendly and welcoming. They really listened to what I said and asked the way I wanted Booboo groomed. They did exactly what I asked them to do. They will definitely be our groomer from now on. I will definitely board Booboo there when I go on vacation. Very happy with them and definitely would recommend this place.
