At Sunderland Animal Hospital we are
dedicated to providing high quality care for both pets and owners
in a compassionate, nurturing environment.
Provision of comprehensive advanced medical
care to our patients is accomplished in part through ongoing staff
education of the most current medical procedures and products
available. Sharing this information with our clients allows the
owner to make the best decision for their pets and themselves.
Clients and their pets are treated like
members of our family. By listening to and respecting the
opinions and wishes of the owner while keeping the interest of the
pet in mind, we are able to enhance a long term relationship
between owners and their pets.

In memory of:
|
 |
Our beloved hospital cat, Carlos, recently passed away after
battling kidney disease for years. He was a champion
cuddler and spent most of his time figuring out how to climb
up into someone's lap. It is hard to put into words
how much we loved him and how much love he gave us in
return. He will be greatly missed by all of us at SAH. |
|
|
 |
Felix, our hospital rabbit, recently passed away.
Felix had a wonderful and feisty spirit that will be missed
by all of the staff and many clients too. |
