We are proud of our commitment to Colorado Springs' pets and pet owners, and we are confident that in just one visit, you will see why Polo Springs Veterinary Hospital is a place you and your companion will feel right at home.

Yearly physical examinations are essential for maintaining your companion?s good health. These examinations enable us to diagnose health problems early, making treatment more effective, less involved and ultimately, less costly for you. During these comprehensive examinations, in addition to evaluating your pet?s overall health, we also assess their nutritional needs, lifestyle, environment and weight. Next, we have a personal discussion with you regarding our findings, answer any questions you have and provide you with a written report. An immunization program is then customized for your companion?s specific needs.

With all of the advances in clinical diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities in veterinary medicine, it is critical that you select a health care team that is highly trained and experienced.

Whether it?s a very simple or extremely complicated surgical procedure, no corners are cut to ensure the safe and smooth recovery of your pet. We always perform preoperative examinations prior to any surgical procedure. We also promote preoperative health screens to determine the best choice of anesthetics and to help prevent unforeseen complications during or after surgery. Pain medications are always administered when needed. A highly skilled veterinarian is assigned to your case, and along with our support staff, closely monitors your companion from start to finish. We provide the attention and quality you expect, and your pet deserves.

Periodontal disease is the most common disease in animals. If your pet has bad breath, it is likely they are suffering from this serious ailment. Periodontal disease is a chronic and painful infection of the mouth, and if left untreated, it is progressive. More then 85% of dogs and cats older then four years of age have periodontal disease. Good dental hygiene for your companion can prevent this disease, as well as prevent a number of serious secondary problems such as heart, kidney, and liver diseases that can develop from infected gums.

Regular professional teeth cleanings with sophisticated dental equipment are an effective step toward the prevention and treatment of dental tartar, inflamed gums and bad breath. At Polo Springs Veterinary Hospital, 12 separate procedures are performed for each professional teeth cleaning. For patients with more advanced oral disease, professional periodontal therapy will help resolve their chronic infection and pain. These procedures will not only significantly improve the quality of your companion?s life, but they can also increase the longevity of their life as well.
