Services
Annual or semi-annual dental exams ensure good oral health for your pet. Clean breath and healthy teeth make for a healthier dog/cat. Specialized dental procedures can correct abnormal bites and prevent long term dental problems. With each dental cleaning, our practice provides a thorough oral exam to evaluate your pet's gums, teeth, tongue, and tonsils.
We provide the latest equipment for performing ultrasounds, endoscopies, cardiology diagnosis, ophthalmology, computed tomography (CT scan), surgeries or orthopedic injuries, thoracic surgery, cryosurgery, neurosurgery, oncology, Penn Hip, OFA and oxygen therapy. These services maybe offered to your directly by one of our veterinarians or they may result from a referral by your current veterinarian.
We use many diagnostic methods to provide a thorough ophthalmologic examination including slit lamps, gonioscopy, tonometry, fluorescein, Rose Bengel stains and Schirmer tear test to assist in diagnosis, surgery and treatment of eye disorders in dogs and cats. Specific breeds of dogs and cats are prone to abnormal development of their eyelids.
Fracture repairs, patella luxation repair, cruciate ligament repair, intervertebral disk disease surgical management are a few of the surgeries we can perform. Surgeries are dropped off in the morning, the process takes 10 - 15 minutes depending on if you see the doctor or not. Then your pet will usually go home that afternoon, depending on the surgery that was performed.
CT scans show images of tissue that will show up on the monitor of white, black and shades of gray, called the gray scale. The color helps identify tissues that are normal or abnormal, such as normal brain tissue versus a possible tumor in the brain. The CT image is obtained by taking thin "slices" with the x-ray beams.

What a relief to have a trustworthy vet! We've taken 3 dogs and a cat here over the last 10+ years and have been so happy with the service and advice they provide. They're knowledgeable, transparent, inexpensive, and very easy accommodating to schedules!

Dr. Arndt, Dr. Bailey, and the entire staff are the best...... as dog parents to 3 elderly rescues they keep them healthy and happy. Highest of praise for the multiple surgeries and procedures on our Sheltie who severely broke her leg...... Dr. Arndt has worked with our Mollie through the slow healing process with patience and love....... I can’t say enough good things about the staff and care at Harvey Oaks. I am beyond grateful!

Had fine experiences until recently.
Unsure if the front staff just don’t listen or some type of poor communication.
Went in for my dog’s regular vaccines and they asked if he needed one for kennel cough in which I said yes. Come to find out two weeks later they just didn’t give it to him. I had to take off work to go in and get the additional vaccine and pay extra for a nail trim which also didn’t happen during my scheduled appointment. I had spent over $200 the day of his first scheduled appointment (just his regular yearly appointment and he’s perfectly healthy) and would have thought

My dog Aspen was referred to Dr. Bailey and her team for an ultrasound an endoscopy. Aspen had been having GI issues for a few months. Last week I had to take her to my vet again. Since she was not getting better my vet referred us to Harvey Oaks. They were able to get us scheduled for an endoscopy within a few days. When we arrived the staff was very friendly and so helpful. I was so happy the way they treated my dog. The doctor explain everything to me about what she was going to do and how they do it. I felt a ease leaving my girl with them. Their prices are very reasonable and affordable. Harvey

Totally outstanding! Doctor Arndt Really took the time to listen and examine my baby very thoroughly. The Yet reason I went here is because they are allowing us to go into the clinic with our animals rather than just handing them over curbside and hoping for the best. My last veterinarian Steele had not started allowing people who are fully vaccinated in and as much as I hated to do it, after probably 10 years I had to go to Harvey oaks because I could be with my animal. I have a new doctor for both of my current dogs and I am sorry to see my old veterinary clinic has lost my recommendation
