Our Burien Vet Hospital Services

Compassionate care from our experienced team

At Normandy Animal Hospital we strive to provide comprehensive veterinary services while providing exceptional customer service. Below are details on each of the services our hospital offers.

Wellness Exams

We recommend yearly wellness exams for our furry friends of all ages. During a wellness exam, we will do a physical examination, parasite screenings, and updating all necessary vaccines.

Surgery

VAt Normandy Animal Hospital, we can perform almost any surgery your cat or your dog could need. This includes routine surgeries such as spays and neuters or more complex and major surgeries.

Digital Radiography

Using our digital x-ray technology, Normandy Animal Hospital is able to provide our patients with accurate and speedy diagnosis and treatment for a variety of medical issues.

With the advances in digital X-ray technology, we can now manipulate the digital images that we take off a pet’s systems. This has allowed us to detect hairline fractures and orthopedic conditions that were previously not visible. Because the X-rays are digital, we can also almost immediately share the images with specialists who consult with us on difficult cases. We routinely share X-rays with our board-certified surgeon and we are able to burn CDs of the images for our clients to take as part of their own records on their pets’ health.

Digital X-rays are routinely used to diagnose and examine broken bones, obstructions, arthritis, masses, and tumors. We use digital X-rays to also confirm pregnancies or detect ingested objects.

Specialist Referrals

If your pet is in need of specialty care, Normandy Animal Hospital can recommend trusted veterinary specialists.

Prescription Diet

We are here to answer all your questions about your pet’s nutrition. We can make recommendations specific for your pet as well as prescription diets.

Pain Management

Normandy Animal Hospital is your partner to ensure your pet remains healthy and happy. We provide ongoing care including pain management and diagnostics.

Microchipping

It is a scary situation when a pet becomes separated from his or her owner. Owners worry about their pet’s safety, who will find their pet, and how they will be reunited. Pets have been known to slip their collars and I.D. tags can fall off or become unreadable.

Microchipping can offer assurance that animal shelters and veterinarians can identify your pet. One in three pets will be lost in their lifetime, however, online one in ten will be found. A microchip helps ensure that you and your pet can be reunited quickly.

Ultrasound

Ultrasonography, or ultrasound, is a diagnostic imaging technique similar to radiography (X-rays) and is usually used in conjunction with radiography and other diagnostic measures. It allows visualization of the deep structures of the body.

Normandy Animal Hospital uses ultrasound for a variety of purposes including examination of the heart, kidneys, liver, gallbladder, bladder, etc. It can also be used to determine pregnancy and to monitor an ongoing pregnancy. Ultrasound can detect fluid, cysts, tumors or abscesses.

Dental Care

According to the American Veterinary Dental Society, 70% of adult cats and 80% of adult dogs show symptoms of oral disease.

Exceptionally bad breath, brownish plaque at the base of the teeth, excessive drooling, sore or bleeding gums when eating or chewing, and decreased appetite can all be signs that a pet’s teeth require attention. Maintaining strong dental health and a regular cleaning program not only assures that your pet’s mouth and teeth will remain in excellent condition, but will also help to prevent infections that can spread through the bloodstream to affect major organs such as your pet’s liver, kidneys, and heart.

During an annual wellness exam, we will check dental health including gums, teeth, and mouth. We can recommend products, provide instruction for at-home dental care, and perform dental cleaning and surgeries.

Flea Control

Fleas are small, jumping insects that live off of the blood of animals. They can carry dangerous diseases and will often cause allergic dermatitis “severe itching” in pets.

Infestations of fleas can cost hundreds to thousands of dollars to get rid of, and, since flea eggs are able to survive a very long time, it is difficult to completely get rid of them. It is much better to prevent fleas than to have to try to eliminate them.

Health Certificates

If you’re traveling domestically, Normandy Animal Hospital is here to help with all necessary paperwork and providing proper documentation. (We do NOT provide international health certificates, only domestic.)

Vaccinations

Many of the diseases that can affect dogs and cats are preventable through proper pet vaccinations. The Normandy Animal Hospital team can guide you through your pet’s vaccination schedule to keep them protected.

Recommended vaccinations for dogs: Bordetella, Leptospirosis, Lyme, Distemper, Rabies, Canine Influenza

Recommended vaccinations for cats: FeLV, FVRCP, Rabies

Parasite Control

Parasites can affect both dogs and cats. Parasite control is an important way to safeguard not only your pet’s health but also that of you and your family. Thankfully, fleas, ticks, heartworm, and other parasites can all be prevented with routine care.

In-House Pharmacy

Make sure your pet always has the things they need to live a happy and healthy life. Our in-house pharmacy at Normandy Animal Hospital is stocked full of the products you need.

Laboratory

Normandy Animal Hospital can process a wide array of diagnostic laboratory tests with our in-house laboratory. This allows us to provide timely and accurate lab results.
