Many people fail to recognize that pets can also experience dermatological health conditions. However, most dermatological conditions are easily treatable if handled by a professional veterinary staff. If you notice that your pet has a rash or is starting to lose patches of fur, you need to make an appointment with our veterinarians at Desert Forest Animal Hospital.
Blood tests are an essential part of diagnosing what is ailing your pet, just as they are in human medicine. Blood tests can tell the veterinarian a myriad of things, from whether your cat is dehydrated to whether he or she has anemia to whether they are suffering from cancer.

The hemoglobin concentration test measures the oxygen-carrying capacity of your cat's blood, and the red blood cell count can tell your vet how well your feline's body is functioning.Testing the white blood cells is equally useful. A high white blood cell count is indicative of infection, whereas a low white blood cell count can mean a weakened immune system.

We have been taking our beloved dogs to Dr Marvelle for 10 years! This vet has always been very good with any issues our dogs have had. The entire staff is wonderful to work with too.

Good quality of care and friendly, compassionate treatment. The reason for 4 stars is because the hospital is in need of updating, and also needs to be kept cleaner since it's smelled strongly of cat urine throughout. It's an older smaller practice, sometimes that's good and sometimes it means they don't have all of the services you'd like on premises.

New to the area, we found Dr. Tracy to not only be knowledgeable and thorough, but also the most caring vet to whom we have ever taken our dogs. Highly recommend!!!

Over the years, Desert Forest Animal Hospital has cared for all of our dogs. They always received the best of care. I always recommend them when I meet someone looking for excellent vet care for their animals.

Tracy Marvelle was most knowledgeable and professional with both of my boys. They were ready to share kisses with everyone there. Tracy and I discussed treatments and shots needed ... all completed promptly and pleasantly. She is my new vet for my two Malti-poos !

I always am happy when I take Max to Desert Forest Animal Hospital. He and his predecessor, Fritzi, both German Shepherds, have been skillfully and lovingly cared for by the staff and vets for 15 years. Dr. Tracey is always so patient and caring and I'm sure her new associate likewise.

Excellent veterinary practice, with established caring staff. Had my little dogs teeth cleaned and eye ducts flushed and they took very good care of her...no problems. Reasonable cost for services too. I highly recommend them.
