Meet the Perryville Team
Perryville Pet Hospital is a well-established, full-service, small animal veterinary hospital providing comprehensive medical, surgical and dental care. Our focus is on comprehensive physical examinations for our patients at all life stages. A wellness visit includes a thorough exam, a blood test to check liver and kidney values, a heartworm test, and an internal parasite test (fecal exam). Early detection of any potential problem is vital to a successful treatment plan. We also address more complex issues such as injuries, trauma, and sudden or chronic diseases.
Together, our doctors bring more than 55 years of compassion and veterinary expertise to offer for you and your pets. To learn more about our veterinarians and staff, just click on a photo below.
