West Ashley Veterinarians

Are you new to West Ashley, or just getting a new dog or cat? Then you’re going to need a vet. Choosing the right veterinarian is an important decision. It only takes a few days before that cute little kitten or slipper chewing puppy can worm their way into your heart. You will want to do everything in your power to keep the new addition to your family healthy and happy. Fortunately, a good West Ashley vet is not hard to find.

While our dog is no problem, our cats are a nightmare to try to get to the veterinarian office for even routine check-ups and rabies shots. If they don’t feel well it is a nearly impossible task to get them in a car without looking like the loser in a cactus cleaning contest. Fortunately for us there is a West Ashley vet that makes house calls. Dr. Lisa Garro at Low Country Home Vet has been a great find for us.

If your pets are a bit more manageable then my crew, there are many other West Ashley vets who can fill your needs. At the bottom of the page is a link to West Ashley vets. Give a few of them a call or stop by their office and see if it feels right for you.

Be kind to your pets. If you have a new kitten or puppy, don’t necessarily take the person’s word that you get your pet from that they are “Vet Checked”. Ask to see shot records and proof that they were actual at a West Ashley vet’s office. There are many early inoculations that only take a few minutes and cost very little that can save you the nightmare of putting a pet down.

Heart worms for dogs and feline HIV for cats can be a problem if you let them run free without the proper supervision and inoculation. Check with your West Ashley veterinarian to be sure your pet is always up to date. If you have to give your pet a monthly pill, pick a day that is easy to remember. Emma the Wonder Mutt always gets her heart worm pill on the first day of the month.

Get your pet spayed or neutered. They will be happier and make a much better companion. The SuperPetz on Sam Rittenberg has a regular spay/neutering clinic sponsored by the SPCA. Call them:

If you are just considering getting a pet think about taking home a rescue animal from a shelter. This service is provided by the SPCA and other groups such as:

Pet Helpers Adoption Center

All of our pets were rescues and they arrived housebroken and badly in need of love and attention. They’re the best pets we’re ever had.

No matter what kind of pet you have there is a West Ashley Veterinarian for you.
