ABOUT
OUR HOSPITAL

Klahaya Animal Hospital is a full service animal hospital providing the highest quality, up to date medical care and diagnostics. Our hospital will accommodate emergency cases as well as routine medical, surgical, and dental problems. In addition to medical and preventative care, we provide reproductive services for our health tested patients. Klahaya Animal Hospital strives to be a trustworthy and respected animal care facility for our community by providing the best possible medical care and exceptional customer service to every patient and every client, every time.
