Our Services
At Kentucky Paws Animal Hospital, we offer a comprehensive range of services designed to meet the diverse needs of your pets. Our services include:
Annual Preventative Care
Annual physical exams are essential for maintaining your pet's health. These thorough examinations provide a head-to-toe assessment, and we recommend exams every six months for aging pets or those with medical conditions. We also offer vaccinations tailored to your pet's specific needs and strongly recommend heartworm prevention year-round for all canine patients due to the prevalence in northern Kentucky.
Dental Care
We understand that at-home dental care can be challenging, which is why we recommend regular dental cleanings. Most periodontal disease lies underneath the gumline, and severe dental disease can lead to tooth loss, gingivitis, mouth pain, and even systemic infections affecting major organs like the heart, kidneys, and liver. Every dental cleaning includes digital dental radiographs to ensure the teeth are healthy and guide us when deciding to extract teeth.
Digital Radiographs
Not all illnesses or injuries can be seen by the naked eye. That's where digital X-rays come into play. We use digital X-rays to diagnose and examine broken bones, obstructions, orthopedic problems, tumors, bladder stones, heart enlargement, and more. These X-rays also help confirm pregnancies or detect ingested objects, leading to quicker diagnosis and treatment for your pet.
Laboratory Services
We offer lab work both in-house with same-day results and the option to send out to a reference lab for evaluation. A variety of samples can be collected and cytology evaluated to look for evidence of infection, inflammation, or cancerous cells. This ensures that we can provide accurate and timely diagnoses.
Surgery
Our general and elective soft tissue surgical services are available for cats and dogs. While many surgeries can be performed in-house, there are cases we may refer to a surgical specialist. Common procedures include spay/neuter, laceration/wound repairs/drain placements, tumor removals, exploratory laparotomies, gastrotomies/enterotomies, splenectomies, cystotomies, hematoma repairs, and amputations.
A Purr-fect Place for Cats
We have a cat-only exam room with pheromone diffusers to help keep cats calm, along with custom fiberglass cages to help keep them warm and eliminate loud noises. Our goal is to make every visit as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet.

Customer service is a priority at Kentucky Paws Animal Hospital. We strive to ensure the environment is relaxed and the appointment goes smoothly and efficiently.
