Emergency Veterinary Care
Our clinic provides 24/7 emergency services for large animals and urgent care during business hours for small animals. Specialized teams handle trauma cases, difficult births, and critical medical conditions. We maintain immediate access to diagnostic tools and surgical facilities for life-threatening situations involving fractures, severe bleeding, or respiratory distress.
Orthopedic Surgery
We specialize in treating musculoskeletal conditions including cruciate ligament ruptures, patellar luxation, and fractures. Our surgeons perform TTA procedures and femoral head ostectomies using advanced imaging technology. Post-operative rehabilitation includes therapeutic laser treatments and customized recovery plans for optimal mobility restoration.
Dental Services
Comprehensive dental care includes routine cleanings, extractions, and oral surgery with digital radiology support. Our technicians identify early signs of periodontal disease while our veterinarians address complex issues like jaw fractures and tooth resorption. Preventative care education helps maintain long-term oral health for companion animals.
Rehabilitation Therapy
Post-injury or surgical recovery programs combine therapeutic exercises, massage, and Class IV laser treatments. Our certified technicians develop customized rehabilitation plans for arthritis management, mobility improvement, and pain reduction. We utilize underwater treadmills and targeted exercise regimens to restore function in dogs and cats.
Ultrasound Imaging
High-resolution ultrasound examinations assess internal organ health, pregnancy status, and soft tissue abnormalities. Our veterinarians interpret real-time images to diagnose bladder tumors, reproductive issues, and abdominal conditions. This non-invasive technology supports accurate diagnosis and treatment planning for both small and large animal patients.

We drove up from Rockford to get great care for our sweet cat who had a UTI. Our Rockford vet couldn't see us and referred us to the local animal hospital which separates pets from owners. Instead of doing that, I searched online reviews and gladly drove the 45 minutes to cross the border and be able to stay with my cat while she was seen. Staff was absolutely wonderful, got us an appointment quickly and explained everything when we came. So grateful for our appointment at Brodhead and I'd highly recommend.

I started going to Brodhead Veterinary about a month ago and I am so glad I found them, wish I could have found them sooner. They were very helpful and compassionate when I brought my cat in who had end stage renal disease. They made a very difficult time easier. They are the best veterinary clinic I have ever been to. All the staff are very kind and considerate. Thank you Brodhead Veterinary for your excellent care!
