Mission Statement

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.
