Defiance Area Animal Hospital is a full service veterinary medical facility on North State Route 66, just outside Defiance. Dr. Jim Raimonde, Dr. Christy Saul and the staff handle wellness care, surgery, dental care, radiology and internal medicine, along with the harder days too. Same doctors, same building, and a real person on the phone when something is wrong.
We are committed to responsible pet ownership, preventative health care and helping owners actually understand what is going on with their animal. Most of what comes through the door is routine, wellness visits, vaccines, a dental, a limp that needs an x-ray. When it is not routine, you get a straight explanation of the options and what each one involves.
Annual and semiannual exams, core and lifestyle vaccines, parasite prevention and the puppy and kitten series. A yearly exam is where most problems get caught while they are still small and inexpensive to deal with, which is the entire point of it.
Spays, neuters, mass removals, and soft tissue procedures performed here with monitored anesthesia. You will get a clear explanation of what is planned, what the recovery looks like at home, and a phone call after your pet is awake.
Cleanings, dental x-rays and extractions when a tooth cannot be saved. Dental disease is the most under treated problem we see, and it hurts. Animals hide that well, and owners are often surprised how much brighter a pet is a week after the work is done.
X-rays and diagnostic work up on site, so a limp, a cough, a swallowed sock or an unexplained weight loss can be looked at the same visit rather than after a referral and another week of waiting and worrying.
Ongoing conditions like diabetes, thyroid disease, kidney disease and arthritis, managed over time with real follow up. Pain management is part of every plan here, for surgical recovery and for the older animals who are simply stiff and slowing down.
A fully stocked in house pharmacy plus an online store for refills, permanent microchip identification, and honest nutritional counseling. Most food questions have a simple answer and it is usually not the most expensive bag on the shelf.
Defiance, Ayersville, Sherwood, Ney, Hicksville, Napoleon, Evansport, Jewell and the farms along State Route 66. Some of these families are on their third or fourth dog with us. That is the part of this job that keeps the doors open, and it is the reason the staff remembers your animal's name when you call.
(419) 782-0166. Tell us what is going on, a wellness visit, a vaccine due, a limp, a lump, or something that just seems off. We will find you a spot and tell you if it needs to be sooner.
A full nose to tail exam with the doctor, and time for your questions. If something needs an x-ray or bloodwork we will say so, tell you what it costs, and let you decide before anything is run.
You will get the findings in plain language, the realistic options, and what each one involves for your pet and for your budget. Nobody here will make you feel bad about asking what something costs.
Medications from our in house pharmacy, refills through the online store, and a call back when results come in. If something changes at home after the visit, call us, do not wait it out.
