Services
Pet Wellness Exams
Our comprehensive wellness exams monitor pet health through physical assessments and preventive care planning. These checkups detect early health issues while establishing baseline metrics for aging pets. Veterinarians create customized care plans addressing nutrition, exercise, and parasite prevention specific to each pet's life stage.
Pet Vaccinations
We provide core and elective vaccinations following AAHA guidelines to protect against infectious diseases. Our team creates tailored vaccination schedules based on pet age, lifestyle, and regional disease risks. The service includes rabies certification and documentation for travel or boarding requirements.
Pet Microchipping
Permanent identification microchips offer secure pet recovery through ISO-standard 15-digit registration numbers. The minimally invasive procedure places rice-sized chips between shoulder blades for lifelong functionality. We register implants in national databases and update contact information as needed.
Pet Ultrasound
Diagnostic ultrasounds visualize soft tissues and internal organs using high-frequency sound waves. This non-invasive technology evaluates heart function, detects abdominal abnormalities, and guides biopsy procedures. Our digital imaging system provides real-time visualization for accurate diagnoses.
Pet Dental Care
Comprehensive dental services include cleanings, extractions, and periodontal treatments under anesthesia. Digital dental X-rays reveal hidden pathologies while COHAT protocols standardize oral health assessments. We provide home care instruction and pain management for dental conditions.

We spent all most $900. They gave us hope but wasn't what they thought it was. They were thinking now it was a brain tumor. I did email and tell them I was unhappy. They didn't charge us for putting her to sleep. Spending the money wouldn't of been so bad if they could of helped her. I do think they should refund at least half or more. Lyla will be greatly missed and it was hard to watch her suffer.
To me and my wife they seem to care more about the money. I don't think we would use them again. I know you have to have money to survive but people who are struggling I think businesses should work with people who are struggling. I would rather make payments then to charge it on my card because of interest rates. I hop if they read this they will think about how they conduct their business.

Quick process with check in and out. The visit focused on what we needed, but no comment from Dr. Ray with my dog's hotspot history to front paws. It's in the chart with recent treatment. I will need to call back with closure and recommendations with it a continued problem. Staff is very nice.

All the Drs and employees at belle city veterinary hospital are always very helpful. Although my last exam did not go as I had hoped since my little Frankie had a seizure in the waiting room he still received the best care possible. They swiftly came to get him during his episode to give him treatment. All my concerns I wanted to bring up during our visit kind of went out the window due to me being flustered over what happened but I am confident that if I have any questions I can always call them and they will give me their expert advise.
They proceeded with the normal exam and Dr Livingston and staff gave Frankie very compassionate care as always. Also like that they have pet perks on the pet desk app and that you can look up your pets medical records. When I was at wvrc er recently with my other dog i was able to pull up his blood work for them to see. Which the Dr was impressed with. It saved us time, less stress for my Sherman and saved me money. Thankyou.
