Services
Pet Boarding
Our boarding facility provides a safe, comfortable environment for pets when owners travel. Separate feline suites ensure quiet stays for cats while dogs enjoy spacious runs and outdoor play areas. All guests receive personalized attention, medication administration, and veterinary oversight. We offer premium bedding options and daily photo updates for pet parents.
Dentistry
Comprehensive dental services prevent and treat oral diseases in pets. We perform thorough cleanings under anesthesia with dental X-rays, extractions when needed, and educate owners about home care routines. Our protocols address periodontal disease that can impact pets' heart, liver, and kidney health if left untreated.
Laser Therapy
This non-invasive treatment uses therapeutic lasers to reduce inflammation and pain while accelerating healing. It benefits pets with arthritis, post-surgical recovery, or chronic conditions without requiring sedation. Most sessions last 5-8 minutes with immediate pain relief effects observed in many cases.
Orthopedic Surgery
Our surgeons perform fracture repairs, cruciate ligament corrections, and joint procedures using advanced techniques like TPLO. We treat sports injuries, developmental conditions, and cancerous bone growths with pre-operative imaging and post-operative rehabilitation support.
Wellness Care
Annual checkups with bloodwork detect early disease signs in pets. Our programs include vaccination scheduling, parasite prevention, nutrition counseling, and breed-specific screenings. Early intervention prevents costly emergencies while extending pets' healthy lifespans through proactive management.

I have been taking my two dogs to Brookfield for years and I have never had a single bad experience. The entire staff is amazing, beginning with all of the friendly staff at the front desk as well as the techs. Furthermore, Dr. Bogart is by far the best vet I have ever seen. She is always very thorough and genuinely cares about the animals that she sees. I recently had to bring one of my dogs in that was experiencing a serious health issue and Dr. Bogart was there to help every step of the way.
When I had to bring her back in a few days later for a follow up test, Dr. Bogart made sure that she was available for that as well. I am happy to say that despite the scare, my dog is now doing much better all thanks to the tremendous care that she received. I could not imagine taking my dogs anywhere else and I cannot recommend Brookfield Animal Hospital enough!

One of the few USDA certified Vets in the area. My cat needed an international travel certificate. Great go, my cat liked it, meeow. The nail clipping is fantastic and a non-expected complimentary service. The price of the certificate was exactly as it is being charged by the USDA to the veterinarian without any added fees, this is in contrast to competitors who were adding fantasy numbers along with fantasy explanations. Thank you, a service I can and will definitely recommend.

Great team, they follow up with you and explain everything before and after the appointment. Doctor himself called to follow up as well and answer questions.

The only place I trust placing my 13 year old cat for boarding. Apparently, they say she has a sweet disposition. They must be doing something right. I know my pet as a diva. Very caring staff.
