Services
Preventive Care
Our preventive care services include routine exams, vaccinations, and parasite prevention to ensure long-term pet health. We tailor wellness plans to each pet's life stage, from puppies/kittens to seniors, emphasizing early disease detection through bloodwork and screenings. Annual check-ups and lifestyle guidance help pet owners maintain their pets' health and address potential issues proactively.
Dentistry
We offer comprehensive dental care, including cleanings, extractions, and digital x-rays to maintain oral health. Our team addresses plaque buildup, gum disease, and tooth decay, using anesthesia-free options when possible. Dental x-rays detect hidden issues, while preventive care reduces risks of systemic diseases linked to poor oral hygiene.
Diagnostics
Advanced diagnostics like digital radiology, ultrasound, and in-house lab work enable rapid, accurate diagnoses. We perform blood tests, urinalysis, and fecal exams to assess organ function and detect infections. Collaboration with external labs ensures specialized testing for complex cases, supporting timely treatment decisions.
Surgery
Our surgical services range from spays/neuters to complex soft-tissue and orthopedic procedures. We partner with board-certified surgeons for advanced cases, ensuring high-quality care. Pre-surgical exams, anesthesia monitoring, and post-op pain management prioritize patient safety and comfort throughout the recovery process.
Senior Pet Care
Specialized senior care includes bi-annual exams, bloodwork, and arthritis management to address age-related conditions. We focus on early detection of kidney disease, diabetes, and mobility issues, offering tailored nutrition plans and pain management therapies to enhance quality of life for aging pets.

I've been owned by cats for more than 35 years now.so I've seen a lot of veterinarians in my time.and I can say without reservation that the staff and professionals at MAH are the best that I've ever encountered, by a wide margin. They are caring, knowledgeable and professional. They have seen me through some difficult cat times, and I thank them for that. Special shout outs to Bobbi, Chris and Alyssa, who have helped me and my cats so much.

I think I have been bringing my Westies to Minnehaha since 1991 and I love the staff and they have always been very helpful, informative and caring. A year ago I put my beloved Al down and they listened to me and reassured me for about 2 weeks before I made the decision. It was very loving, peaceful and calm. I don't even live close to Minnehaha Animal Hospital anymore but I still bring my Westie there. Dr. Stephani is my go to vet and Bobbi is my go to vet tech. They are fabulous.

Love taking my girls, Pancake and Oatmeal to Minnehaha Animal Hospital. The staff goes above and beyond with there service. I locked myself out of my house, forgot my cellphone and had no way to call my husband to get our spare keys. The reception called my husband to let him know I would be coming to pick up the keys. The staff is so loving toward my 16 & 6 year old shih tzus, they always greet the girls, give them love, calm their fears and offer a treat.

We have been relying on Minnehaha Animal Hospital for the care of our three cats for years now. They are consistently attentive, caring and efficient in providing care and service. Their Team communicates VERY efficiently between Staff Members and their processes, especially during Covid are streamlined. Their compassion for our animals is apparent every time we are in. We just said goodbye to our 21 year old tabby and the Staff's help navigating her late stage cancer care was so helpful and they were very generous with their time and consult. We will continue to rely on them for years to come!
