Services
Dentistry
Our veterinary dentistry services prevent and treat oral diseases affecting 80% of dogs and 70% of cats by age 3. We provide dental exams, cleanings, and treatments to prevent systemic infections. Early intervention helps avoid tooth loss and protects organ health through comprehensive oral care programs.
Radiology
Digital radiology enables quick, low-radiation diagnostics for bone issues, respiratory conditions, and internal organ health. Our advanced imaging technology provides immediate results for faster treatment decisions. Sedation may be used to ensure clear images while maintaining patient comfort during the procedure.
Surgical Services
We perform spays, neuters, soft tissue surgeries, and orthopedic procedures using modern techniques. Emergency surgeries address foreign body removal and trauma cases. Pre-surgical evaluations ensure patient safety while post-operative care focuses on pain management and recovery support.
Wellness Programs
Customized wellness plans address pets' needs at every life stage from puppies/kittens to seniors. Annual exams detect early disease signs through bloodwork and physical assessments. Vaccination programs protect against preventable illnesses while nutritional counseling supports long-term health maintenance.
Microchipping
Permanent microchip implantation provides reliable pet identification when collars fail. Our registered microchips connect lost pets with owners through veterinary scanner networks. We recommend combining microchips with ID tags for maximum recovery chances during emergencies or accidental escapes.

Customer service was very poor on the day we took our pet. We called from outside to ask a question, and both staff members where talking to each other and did not pick up the phone. Also, when one staff member told us to come in to assist with our pet for weight in, Another staff member rudely told us that we where not suppose to be in there. We did not appreciate the way we were treated and will be looking at other vet options.

Absolutely horrible customer service from the receptionist. I have NEVER in my life had a person interrupt me so many times while trying to speak to them. Completely turned me off. If the first person you encounter in a business is rude I can't even imagine the rest of the company. If I could give zero stars I would.

Dr. Dan is absolutely amazing! We moved here about 8 years ago and we just so happened to stumble across Baldwin Animal Hospital with our two dogs that we moved with. Our one dog was a lot older, and Dr. Dan was so great with her! I now have a 5 year old dog that I have made plenty of visits to the vet with and I am never disappointed! I couldn't have asked for a better vet to take care of my girl! I'm so grateful for everything they have done for Stella in the 5 years of her life and I'll continue to use them with any future pups!

AMAZING STAFF. Our Kitty randomly turned violent with no explanation, chasing, stalking, biting, scratching, shrieking.. basically ran us out of our own home. Every other place we contacted were no help, didnt properly inform us of the health departments rules for animal attacks, and told us they wont see her. However, Dr. Dan saw her, made sure she was physically healthy, and gave us all the information we needed.
Unfortunately, there wasnt anything we could do. Baldwin animal hospital gave her a clean, comfortable space to spend her last night and made a horribly tough situation a lot
