We offer comprehensive wellness care for dogs, cats, and exotic pets including vaccinations, spay/neuter procedures, and dental cleanings. Our clinic features digital radiography, in-house laboratory testing, and soft tissue surgery capabilities. Preventive care programs focus on parasite control, nutrition planning, and early disease detection through regular health checkups for companion animals.
Emergency Services
Lancaster Vet Clinic provides 24/7 emergency veterinary care for both large and small animals. Our on-call team responds to critical situations including trauma injuries, birthing complications, and acute illnesses. The facility maintains emergency medical supplies and diagnostic tools to stabilize patients before specialized treatment or referral arrangements when necessary.
Boarding Services
Our boarding facility accommodates dogs and cats year-round with climate-controlled housing and individualized care. All boarding pets receive daily exercise, medication administration when needed, and access to veterinary services. Clients may bring personal items for comfort, though we recommend against valuable possessions due to normal wear and tear during animal interaction.
Dog Day Camp
The supervised dog day camp program offers socialization and exercise in structured indoor and outdoor play areas. Trained staff match dogs by size and temperament for safe interaction while providing regular rest periods. The service includes snack times, flea prevention requirements, and vaccination verification to maintain a healthy environment for all participating pets.
