Appointments
Our patients are seen on an appointment basis during regular office hours. This allows us to efficiently examine your pet, allot specific times for procedures and to decrease the amount of time you may have to wait. In the unfortunate event of an emergency, all emergencies will take precedent over scheduled appointments. If you are unable to make your scheduled appointment please notify us at your earliest convenience. To make an appointment please call us at 503-668-4139.
New Clients are always welcome. If you wish to save time on your first visit please print and fill out our client information form.

Surgery:
We are equipped to handle all minor and most major soft tissue and orthopedic surgeries including routine spays and neuters, eye surgery, cesarean section, fracture repair and cruciate repair. To provide a safe environment for your pet we use isoflurane anesthesia, all pets are monitored with pulse oximetery, blood pressure, and recovered with a technician monitoring your pet’s vital signs. We strongly encourage additional postoperative pain medicine following a surgical procedure.
Vaccine Clinic
We offer a vaccine clinic every Wednesday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. The vaccine clinic is designed for healthy pets that have had a recent exam. During the vaccine clinic the exam is waived, the vaccines are offered at a discounted price and given by a technician. This is offered as a service to our clients so that we can ensure that all pets receive the recommended vaccines. Pets should not be vaccinated if they are sick or not feeling well. We now have Recombinant Vaccines for cats available. Vaccine clinic is by scheduled appointments and can book up fast so please make appointments as far in advance as possible.
Dental Care
We use modern ultrasonic scalers to clean each tooth thoroughly above and below the gum line, as you would have done at your dentist. Dental technicians polish teeth and provide a fluoride treatment to create a smooth, lustrous tooth surface that is more resistant to plaque buildup and help strengthen enamel. ORAVET is then applied to significantly reduce plaque and tartar formation by creating an invisible barrier that prevents bacteria from attaching to your pet's teeth. In the event of periodontal disease we can apply a DOXIROBE Gel to help control the further progression of periodontal disease.
Isolation Care
 Sandy Animal Clinic is equipped to handle animals that present with various contagious diseases. We have a separate isolation facility that is designed to prevent the spread of contagious diseases such as Parvo Virus and Upper Respiratory Viruses. The isolation ward is separate from any other room in the hospital and contains its own ventilation/evacuation system so that infected air is not re-circulated through the hospital. A disinfectant footbath is used upon exiting the isolation ward to help prevent the spread of disease.

24PetWatch MicroChip Service
Until your pet learns to use the phone, the 24PetWatch MicroChip will help him find his way home. Developed by a veterinarian, the 24PetWatch MicroChip is a safe and permanent tiny injectable "chip" that contains a one-of-a-kind identification number that is recognized worldwide. A special scanner is then used to read the microchip through the skin of the animal. With a simple phone call, the registered chip can be traced to the animal's owner to be reunited. Additional information is available at www.24petwatch.com.

VetStore
At Sandy Animal Clinic, it is our policy to take every possible step to ensure that our patients receive the safest pharmaceutical products available. Veterinarians are required to have a valid client/patient/veterinarian relationship in order to prescribe certain medications for patients. We carry a number of prescription products, veterinary prescription diets and products labeled by the manufacturer for "sale by licensed veterinarians only." Veterinarians in the state of Oregon are not required to write a prescription for an Internet or discount pharmacy.
All major Pharmaceutical manufacturers maintain a strict policy of sales exclusively through licensed veterinarians. Products sold through the Internet are obtained through non-approved channels (i.e. bootleg). Manufacturers will not honor any guarantees on their products if they are purchased over the Internet.
We at Sandy Animal Clinic realize the growing interest in having pet medications and products delivered to your door; therefore we have established the ability to purchase your medications from us through our VetStore program. This allows the flexibility to shop 24 hrs a day and also ensures that the medications you are receiving are from a trusted source.
