Welcome to the website of Beverly Hills Animal Hospital.

The practice was established in October 2008 by Dr Dominic Crosby.

At Beverly Hills Animal Hospital we aim to provide excellent quality veterinary care in a friendly compassionate environment.

We are a small clinic and pride ourselves on our continuity of service and personal knowledge of each our of patients.

We are a full service veterinary hospital offering the latest in Pet Healthcare, Diagnostics, Medicine and Surgery.

Services:
A regular physical examination is recommended once a year.

This examination allows us to detect any health problems before they become a major issue. It also allows owners the opportunity to discuss any issues of concern they might have i.e. to discuss nutritional matters, behavioural problems.

This exam includes a thorough physical examination from the top of the head to the tip of the tail.

We may recommend blood tests (particularly in seniors) to check internal organ function and a microscopic faecal test to check for intestinal parasites.

DENTISTRY

It is vitally important to look after your pets teeth and gums.

Just as in humans, tartar and plaque build up on pets teeth resulting in gingivitis (red, swollen gums); halitosis (bad breath) and tooth root abscesses.

Some breeds seem to be especially prone to dental problems for example terrier breeds. These breeds need close attention to prevent serious dental disease.

Some signs of dental disease include bad breath; reluctance to eat hard biscuits and bones; bleeding from gums.

The bacteria present on these teeth eventually find their way into the bloodstream and can cause heart and kidney disease.

There are many ways to prevent dental disease in our pets such as:

• Regular feeding of RAW bones
• Use of special pet toothbrushes and toothpaste (DO NOT use human toothpastes)
• Regular veterinary checks- some pets need regular teeth scaling and polishing.
• Prescription teeth diets for example Hills t/d (teeth diet)

We have recently installed a new state-of-the-art dental machine. It comes with a modern ultrasonic scaler, a high speed drill for difficult extractions plus suction and polishing handpieces.

REMEMBER !! - Any bad breath in dogs and cats is NOT normal and most animals will keep eating despite advanced dental disease.
