Caring for life...caring for a lifetime.
Patient Comfort & Safety
Four Seasons Animal Hospital merges the latest advances in veterinary technology with the greatest attention to patient care and comfort. This combination of “state-of-the-art” and “state-of-the-heart” medicine means that your pet’s stay in the hospital will be as comfortable as possible.  

Our appointment schedule ensures that your pet has time to acclimate to the hospital setting prior to beginning testing or treatment. Exam rooms are designed to be intimate and friendly, and treatment tables, cages, and runs are lined with towels and fleece pads for warmth and comfort. Positive reinforcement through the use of praise and palatable treats can quickly reduce anxiety and change a wary dog or cat visiting for an annual exam into an enthusiastic patient who likes to visit the hospital. In a critical care setting, staff continuity and a high nurse-to-patient ratio ensures that each patient receives the medical attention required to deliver high-quality care, as well as the emotional attention required to reduce anxiety and promote a rapid recovery.

Patient monitoring makes use of non-invasive technology whenever possible to minimize stress for the recovering patient. This is an especially important consideration for critically ill patients in the ICU. Anyone who has spent time in a hospital knows that getting adequate rest in the face of nursing care and beeping monitors can be difficult. Patients recovering from anesthesia or in the ICU at Four Seasons Animal Hospital are kept in a quiet environment, and disturbances are minimized. For post-operative recovery and ICU patients, automated syringes and pumps deliver medications and fluids safely and accurately in a quiet setting that is separated from the high-traffic areas of the hospital.

Our staff understands that your pet is more than a patient and that nursing care is not just about thermometers, catheters, and medications. In our hospital, a major part of patient care is the soft voice, the gentle touch, and the time invested to help each patient feel as relaxed and comfortable as possible during their stay.
