Comprehensive Examinations
Our thorough physical exams assess pets' overall health, detect early signs of illness, and establish baseline metrics for preventive care. Veterinarians evaluate vital signs, coat condition, dental health, and organ function during these appointments. Regular checkups ensure timely interventions for chronic conditions or age-related concerns.
In-House Laboratory
Advanced lab equipment delivers bloodwork, urinalysis, and fecal test results within 15 minutes for rapid diagnosis. This capability enables immediate treatment decisions for critical cases like poisoning or infections. Services include hematology, chemistry panels, and thyroid function assessments.
Surgical Procedures
We perform spays, neuters, tumor removals, dental cleanings, and orthopedic surgeries using modern anesthetic protocols. Preoperative exams and postoperative care ensure patient safety and recovery. Emergency surgeries address trauma cases like fractures or internal injuries.

Dr Bowen is a good doctor I happy the way he is However one person in the front desk is very rude and is not patient unfortunately I didn't get her name I think she needs to take customer service training or change her attitude, that is the reason I give 3 stars

The Oak Village Animal Hospital is one of the best. My cat Missy is 18 and Dr Bowen removed a tumor from her. He is such a great vet. So gentle and very knowledgeable. He really cares about his patients. Thanks so much Dr Bowen!

Dr. Bowden was our vet for years, until our last & final dog passed. He takes time to explain his diagnosis so a pet owner understands & gives alternative options. What I liked most about him is when my dog became very ill & near death & had to be hospitalized, Bowden monitored my dog himself during the night. I'll be forever grateful to him for healing my beloved Cairn Terrier when he was near death. My dog survived bc of Bowdens skill & years of experience. He is a no-nonsense professional with a wonderful & supportive staff.

My boy Chip is a pitbull and not many vets will even see him. They neutered him today and they took such good care of him. Would definitely recommend this place

My 16 year old cat seemed to have an upper respiratory infection. I called Oak Village Animal Hospital & they were able to squeeze me in same day. The woman who answered had empathy in her voice and was helpful. Dr. Bowen was awesome with my cat, and talked me through everything. I hope that I don't have to make many visits here, but I will definitely keep coming back.

Best experience I've ever had at an Animal Hospital. The staff was very nice and cheerful and helpful the second I walked in with my dog. They offered him a treat. They didn't mind that he jumped up to hug them and give them puppy kisses. The Dr. Was a true animal whisperer. He literally whispered to my dog to sit and relax and my dog listened in a a second. Literally the 1st time I've ever seen that. I will definitely continue to bring my animal's to that office. It truly was the best most professional experience ever.

I would very much recommend this Animal Hospital! Dr Bowen and all the ladies that are on the staff were so nice! You can tell they care about your animal. Our dog Lucy had to have surgery and we were quoted over $4,000 for it by another Animal Hospital. Well Lucy had her surgery at Oak Village yesterday and it was about 80% less than what we were quoted. Im so very happy we looked around and found our fur baby a new vet that takes care of her like she was their own! Thank you OVA!!!

Dr. Bowen is amazing! I took my puppy Lulu to get spayed on Monday and I was really nervous as this is my first puppy and he made me feel so comfortable. He is super knowledgeable and the staff is super friendly. They truly do care and love animals here. The prices are reasonable and I liked how they kept her overnight for recovery and they called me when she woke up to give me a follow up on how she was doing. I'm so glad to have found this vet and I highly recommend anyone looking tospay spay/neuter their puppy to come here!

The first experience was an impressionable experience. This is what happened from the initial call, to the visit, to the after care. They truly care. The staff accepted me and my new baby with open arms. I asked questions and no one made me feel as if I was bothering them. They have a customer/patient for life. I must say again, Ronan and I can tell they really care. Thank you for exceptional customer and patient care.

Dr. Bowen and his staff are truly a blessing! The personal care they give your pets is second to none! Recently, we brought our cat in who had a massive infection and thanks to the outstanding treatment she was given, she pulled through remarkably and is getting stronger every day! I cannot say enough good things about them and will continue bringing our pets there for their care.

Dr. Bowen has taken care of our Snowball for a few years now. Snowball has hypothyroid. Since he has been on meds he's doing okay. keeping his hair short helps too. We've currently relocated to Arizona and the office is to work with us with his mess.

Dr. Bowen at Oak Village has been my dogs vet for 32 years. Recently my dog Gabe was very ill and had to be put down. Him and his staff were so caring and helpful. They went above and beyond their jobs. You can tell they really have a love for animals and it's not just a job. We are so grateful for everything they did.
