Welcome to Rio Grande Animal Hospital

Standard of Care Policy

Here at the Rio Grande Animal Hospital, we strive to give our patients the best possible care based on the most current medical information. We also love educating our clients and then as a team, making informed decisions about the health of your pets.

In order to evaluate your pet’s risk for certain diseases and helping them maintain the best of health, we need to do a thorough evaluation as often as deemed necessary. This may be based on age, health status, ongoing problems or even the type of medications that are being suggested.

We feel the best way to do this is to see your pet at least once a year for a complete annual exam. For some, it may be more often than that. To maintain our high standard of care, yearly exams allow us to provide current, competent advice and make sure that any medications or supplements are appropriate. Together, we will discuss a vaccine schedule tailored to your pet’s needs, an appropriate diet, and all other relevant health issues.

Thank you for understanding and for choosing us to be your OTHER family doctor
