Deer Creek Animal Hospital is a full-service veterinary hospital offering the highest quality diagnostic and therapeutic care to our patients. Our 10,000 square foot facility was custom designed for the comfort and security of our patients. The facility is free standing on an expansive piece of land. We have an easily accessible, private parking lot. No need to search for parking or dodge speeding vehicles in a strip-mall.
Sitting on 2 acres, we have room to provide exceptional boarding or daycare to our guests. Our guests romp in a fully enclosed, 1 acre, grass backyard! Resort guests spend most of their stay in the yard or interacting with staff members. They return to their spacious runs in the evening for welcomed rest.
Many veterinary practices are advertising that they are now “fear free”. This is nothing new at Deer Creek! We have always practiced techniques to alleviate fear and make our patients more comfortable. We offer treats and spend additional time with fearful patients. Our boarding and daycare experience is extremely helpful in relaxing our canine patients. Previous Resort guests love to come our facility as they associate us with playtime!
We understand our patients are family members and provide the individualized attention to which they are accustomed. Our friendly staff strives for excellence in customer service. We offer complete veterinary services, boarding, daycare, and grooming. We offer late evening, walk-in and drop-off appointments. We are accepting new clients!
Call us today (928) 900-6303. We look forward to serving you!
