Services
General Surgery
Our surgical services include spays/neuters, mass removals, wound repairs, and orthopedic procedures. We handle both routine and complex cases with expertise in cruciate ligament repairs and patellar luxation corrections. Advanced surgical techniques ensure optimal patient outcomes.
Diagnostic Laboratory
In-house diagnostic capabilities enable rapid blood work, urinalysis, and parasite screening. This allows timely detection of conditions like diabetes, kidney disease, and infectious illnesses, supporting accurate treatment decisions for pets.
Therapeutic Laser
Low-level laser treatments reduce inflammation and promote healing for conditions like arthritis and post-surgical recovery. This non-invasive option provides pain relief and accelerates tissue repair for improved pet mobility.

The staff at the Animal Hospital are very knowledgeable very friendly caring and kind. You can tell by the way they act. They love animals and they are there to do the best that they are capable of for your animal. My cat needed to get a shot and a checkup and toenails cut all which was done carefully and not a prolonged time. I would strongly recommend them to anyone and everyone. I consider them to be the best veterinarian in the Carthage Lowville Watertown area.

Everyone here is always so sweet and patient with my mom's cat; she can be an absolute monster when they start poking at her but they do their best to keep her calm and comfortable. They have been taking great care of her since we got her in 2010, and we've never had an issue. Dr. Stevenson even went out of her way a few years ago when Willow was having a lot of health concerns; she had us bring in everything we feed her and inspected every ingredient. It turns out she's allergic to corn, and has been thriving on a grain-free diet ever since!

Absolutely amazing! Fit my baby girls emergency in so I was able to avoid traveling farther than necessary as time was of the essence. Not once did they muzzle her due to her breed! I also had several follow up calls to let me know surgery was a success, then that she was calm and comfortable, and again that her night went amazing! I can't thank the staff enough for the amazingness with not.only.my husband and I, but our girl as well!

Always a great experience. My dog Skipper went nuts when we pulled into the parking lot. He knows that the staff are his friends and he knows that this is one of his happy places. I wouldn't trust any other clinics to provide the care and professionalism the Animal Doctors provide for my best buddy.
