Pet Wellness Care
Our preventive care services include comprehensive physical exams, vaccinations, and parasite prevention. We assess pets' overall health through body condition checks, organ evaluations, and skin/coat examinations. Annual lab tests help detect early-stage conditions. Our team provides tailored nutrition and exercise recommendations to maintain optimal health. We emphasize client education about home care and early disease detection.
Emergency Treatment
We provide immediate triage assessment for life-threatening conditions including trauma, poisoning, and severe illness. Our staff performs CPR, administers IV fluids, and stabilizes critical patients. Diagnostic imaging and rapid lab testing enable quick treatment decisions. We coordinate transfers to 24-hour facilities when advanced care is needed while maintaining communication with primary veterinarians.
Dental Services
Our dental care includes comprehensive oral exams, teeth cleaning, and periodontal treatment. We use digital X-rays to assess tooth root health and perform extractions when necessary. Preventive care focuses on home brushing techniques and dental diets. We treat painful conditions like tooth resorption and gum disease to improve pets' quality of life.
Senior Pet Care
We specialize in managing age-related conditions including arthritis, kidney disease, and cognitive dysfunction. Our twice-yearly exams include joint mobility assessments and organ function testing. We develop customized treatment plans with joint supplements, pain management, and dietary modifications. Early intervention helps maintain mobility and comfort in aging pets.
Diagnostic Testing
Our in-house lab provides rapid blood work, urinalysis, and parasite testing. We use digital radiography and ultrasound for internal organ evaluation.

Report
Strongly recommend this hospital and Dr. Benz. I had an emergency and called several hospitals before I found Dr. Benz. All the hospital said that they are booked and could not help. Dr. Benz staff was the only one who asked what was going on with my dog, talked with the doctor and found 30 minutes to have a look and help. I am sooo thankful, as my golden doodle, Bart was in pain and Dr. Benz helped him fast and effectively. THANK YOU FROM MY HEART!

After an night of my dog being restless and struggling to walk my regular vet was unable to get us in. I took a chance on Randall Oaks and wow! Dr. Benz and her staff are amazing! While the news was not good, the treatment of my dog and compassion shown was second to none! My dog is living his last days in comfort and happy! And Randall Oaks has earned a new customer! Buddy and my entire family Thanks You!

I am so happy to have found this animal hospital! The whole entire staff is so friendly and genuinely caring! My dog had a severe eye injury and then an abscess that needed to be taken care of just weeks after his eye injury. Both vets were so thorough in explaining everything that was happening and so patient with any questions i had. Your pet will be in good hands here!

Dr's. Benz and Blondin are the very best and the office staff is friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. We have been taking our pets to them for the past 18 years and all of them have been treated professionally and compassionately. As long as we have pets we will be taking them to Randall Oaks Animal Hospital!

If I could give negative stars, I would! My daughter's dog was a patient of Randall Oaks for 13 yrs, but the dog became very sick with a bad heart, and struggled with pain for more than a month before she died at home, in my daughter's arms. The dog couldn't eat, couldn't drink, and couldn't walk downstairs to go outside to the bathroom. My daughter had ASKED the vets to put the dog down 3 weeks before she died, but the vets insisted they could help the dog, and instead prescribed more tests, ultrasounds and medication.
The DAY that her dog passed away, the vets had done yet another ultrasound. instead of putting the poor animal out of her misery.they charged my daughter for an ultrasound. I would NEVER recommend this clinic to anyone.
