Wellness Exams
Routine physical exams help detect early health issues through comprehensive nose-to-tail assessments. Our veterinarians evaluate eyes, ears, teeth, heart, lungs, body condition, and skin while discussing nutrition and lifestyle. Annual exams are recommended for all pets, with more frequent visits for seniors or those with medical conditions.
Surgical Procedures
Our sterile surgical suite handles spaying/neutering, lump removals, dental procedures, and emergency surgeries. Patients receive pre-anesthetic bloodwork, IV fluids, and continuous monitoring of vital signs during procedures. Registered veterinary technologists assist surgeries, with post-operative recovery under supervision and owner updates provided throughout the process.
Diagnostic Imaging
Digital radiography and ultrasound enable precise internal organ evaluation. X-rays detect chest/abdominal issues and mobility problems, while ultrasound provides detailed organ analysis. Dental radiography identifies tooth root abscesses and fractures. Images can be shared with specialists for complex case consultations.
Dental Care
Prophylactic dental care includes oral exams, scaling/polishing, and extractions under anesthesia. We address gingivitis, cavities, and periodontal disease while teaching home brushing techniques. Local nerve blocks ensure patient comfort, with emphasis on preventing systemic health issues from poor oral hygiene.
Vaccinations
Customized vaccination plans protect pets against parvo, distemper, and kennel cough. We educate owners about indoor cat risks and brachycephalic breed considerations. Puppies/kittens receive schedule guidance, with emphasis on building strong immune systems through timely immunizations.

We drove from Mackenzie with a sick pup to the vet first they wanted to charge the owner $550.00 after saying $355.00. All the owner had with her was the first quote $355.00 in much discussion they say $355.00 was ok, they did the parvo test and it came back positive. First they quoted $1000.00 then 5 minutes later $2000.00 and money up front. Also the vet told the owner to put the pup down. The owner refused and I asked for a prescription of antibiotics that she wrote after asking for it for 5 minutes. We brought the pup home with realizing the pup will die cause that's what the vet said. That

Always fantastic. A little pricey but convenience for me as I live in the hart and don't like to leave the hart very often. Friendly and caring staff.

I am disappointed in this vet. My dog was in need of emergency care. I called them as I didn't have a vet in town and they turned me away. This is a first time a vet has ever turned an sick animal away that I know of. Fortunately I found a vet who told us to bring her in immediately no questions asked

Hart Vet has been my clinic since it was opened on the Hart. Dr Fuller is one of the best vets I've had. Unfortunately today I need to express my disappointment in the clinic and the vets there. My best friend's dog was in dire need of emergency visit and I told her to call Hart Vet. When she called she was out and out refused as she was not a regular patient. Unbloody Real Hart Vet, her dog could have died. Thankfully she was able to get an immediate appointment elsewhere. He dog will survive no thanks to you.

Friendly, helpful staff. I take my dogs in to get their nails clipped. I never have to wait long as I do at another vet. I've been on a wait list for a few months to become a client so my dogs can be patients. Please call me.

Provides great care! Had to go to another clinic for emergency vet care but Hart vet called me next day to check in. Very thoughtful. Bents and Luna give them 8 paws up.
