Improving pets' lives through compassionate care and education
At Livermore Country Pet Hospital 'compassionate care' means acting
as advocates for the animal in a pet-friendly environment. As advocates
for the animal, our duty is to make recommendations regarding medical
care or lifestyle, that are appropriate to the individual pets needs. We do
our best to use vocal cues and body language to put animals at ease,
and recommend "better living through chemistry" (appropriate
sedation) for our patients when we believe a procedure, such as taking
an x-ray, would be too traumatic for that particular pet otherwise. We
much prefer being the "yummy treat givers" to being the "bad shot
people".
One of our primary goals is client education. We want people to leave at
the end of each visit with more knowledge and a better understanding
of their pet - its behavior, emotional and physical needs and of its
medical status - than they had when they arrived. Our pets have a
different way of perceiving the world than we do, and they have needs
that we, as owners, may fail to understand. At Livermore Country Pet
Hospital we work to help owners bridge the gap between human and
companion animal, thereby strengthening the human-animal bond.
Helping extraordinary pets live extra-ordinary lives.
