Wellness Exams
Our wellness exams focus on preventive care through comprehensive physical evaluations, vaccinations, and early disease detection. Each exam includes organ system checks, weight monitoring, and personalized health plans. We emphasize senior pet care with bi-annual exams to address age-related conditions like arthritis and diabetes using in-house diagnostics.
Emergency Care
We provide immediate veterinary intervention for critical conditions including trauma, poisoning, and breathing difficulties during business hours. Our facility maintains 24-hour hospitalization with trained nurses monitoring critical patients overnight. After-hours emergencies receive referrals to trusted regional specialists for continuous care.
Dental Care
Professional teeth cleanings under anesthesia prevent periodontal disease using ultrasonic scaling and digital X-rays. Our services include extractions, oral mass removals, and home care guidance with specialized diets and dental products. We address both treatment and prevention of painful gum conditions affecting pets' overall health.

K-Laser treatments reduce inflammation and promote tissue healing for conditions like arthritis and post-surgical recovery. This non-invasive therapy improves circulation without requiring sedation, offering pain management alternatives for pets unresponsive to traditional medications.

Do not use this veterinary hospital unless you want to be ripped off. They try to give shots that are unnecessary and take advantage of young people. Our daughter missed an appointment and was charged $50.00 which she paid and then they made her pre-pay her next appointment which is not stated anywhere on their website. Bait and switch practices. When I called for a refund was put on hold for ever while they tried to figure this out.
They are not trustworthy and would never recommend using them to anyone. They told me that the pre-payment after missing an appointment is in their financial policy and told my daughter they just implemented it. Which is it? How can you trust you pet to a business that can't even publish their policy or state when they went into effect.

We have been taking our pets to Limerick Vet for years now. While we have been to other veterinary practices in the past, none have came close to the compassion, expertise and care that Limerick Vet has given us. Limerick's staff is top tier, from the office/reception staff to the technicians (a huge shout out to Katie and Linda!), they truly care and love animals. Dr. Pfluger and Dr. Donahue have been seeing our cats and dogs over the years and we have nothing but the most positive experiences. I always find myself raving about how amazing our Vets are to my animal loving friends/family. Thank you to Limerick for taking such fantastic care of our fur babies.

Yesterday afternoon, my cat unexpectedly passed away. Despite this not being our normal vet, the individuals working there were kind in helping me with the process. We arrived with my little man and despite the 1 person per pet rule, they allowed my boyfriend and I to come in and say goodbye to him one last time. I can't speak to them as a vet per-se, but I can assure you that if half of the compassion I saw yesterday is given to your pet, you will be in good hands. Thank you to everyone at Limerick Veterinary Hospital for the kindness you showed.

New to the area and tried to get an appointment for my sick cat. We're first able to get me in the next day, but then when I told them I've never been there before, they couldn't get me in until the end of the month. They really don't care about new business I guess.
