Safe Harbor Featured Pet
As part of its continued investment
in advanced technologies and progressive procedures in veterinary medicine,
GAH is now offering therapy laser service.
Lasers have been used in human medicine for over 30 years, but are just
beginning to appear in the veterinary field as doctors and animal lovers
learn more about the benefits they can provide. Maintaining a quality of
life for our pets is very important to owners. "More and more, our
clients are demanding the highest levels of care for their pets," states
Dr. Civello. "Laser therapy provides us with an opportunity to meet
the needs of our patients, and offer an excellent standard of care."
Glendale Animal Hospital Announces New Laser Therapy Service
We are a full service companion animal hospital providing the finest care for your pets. It began as Glendale Pet and Bird Clinic in the early 1970s.

We strive every day to maintain and improve the quality of life for dogs, cats, and exotic pets, doing our best to care for animals and the people who love them.

Have you considered microchipping?
Statistics show that one out of every three pets in America will be lost, and 91% of them do not return home. Only 6% of American pets are microchipped.
Contrast this to Europe, where 54% of their pets return home because over 50% of their pets are chipped.
We would like to increase your pet's chances of returning home if lost. That's why we are offering $10 off our microchip procedure. A simple injection of a microchip under the skin of your pet's neck significantly improves his or her chances of making it home safely to you.
Just give us a call and we'll set up an appointment for you and your pet!

FDA Warns Pet Owners About Buying Online Medicines
In these tough economic times it is tempting to look for discounted pet medications. The FDA recently warned that pet owners should beware of online pharmacies that do not require a prescription from your veterinarian. The FDA reported that it has found companies that sell unapproved pet drugs and counterfeit pet products, make fraudulent claims, dispense drugs without a prescription, or sell expired drugs.
This video from the FDA provides some details.
A copy of the information that you can print out is available from the FDA website.
Laser therapy has several benefits over traditional pain and mobility treatments, including very rapid disappearance of pain. During therapy, the laser synchronizes energy frequencies delivering superior results in less time. The versatility of the laser allows a doctor to treat sore muscles and joints, degenerative joint conditions, neurological pain, chronic non-healing wounds as wells as inflammatory conditions.
Dr. Civello states that, "We pride ourselves on staying on the leading
edge of technology and medicine, and educating our clients on the various
levels of care available. Laser therapy is the future of veterinary medicine,
and we feel our clients deserve to have that option when choosing the best
care for their pet."
