Hope Animal Hospital believes that pets function best when they are at home rather than in the hospital, so we generally prefer to keep hospitalizations to a minimum. However, it does sometimes become necessary for an animal to be hospitalized in order to treat certain conditions that cannot be effectively treated at home. During a pet’s hospitalization, we encourage frequent visits by the family to provide comfort and reassurance to the pet, and to inform and support the family in person concerning their pet’s status. Visiting hours can be arranged with the doctor or nurses at the time of hospitalization.
