Spokane Veterinarian Helps Your Pet Stay Healthy and Active for Life

Welcome to A-1 Animal Care Veterinary Services, home to your Spokane veterinarian Dr. Charles Lohr. Our veterinary team is committed to providing compassionate care throughout your pet’s life. From your pet’s early years through his or her senior care years, we provide complete medical services designed to protect and enhance your pet’s quality of life. Emergency veterinary services are available during normal business hours, and include diagnostic medicine, surgical care, geriatric medicine, puppy and kitten vaccination programs, orthopedics, spay and neuter operations and pet dermatology.

Our Veterinary Clinic Provides Wellness Care, Pet Vaccinations, and Pet Dental Care

Since our pets are unable to vocalize their feelings, routine wellness exams are extremely important for protecting your pet’s overall health. During each exam, our Spokane veterinarian will evaluate your pet’s health through a routine physical and diagnostic testing. We will also ensure that your pet is up-to-date on all pet vaccinations, including rabies. Pet vaccinations are essential to preventing serious illness, and a smart investment in your pet's health. Our affordable pet vaccinations ensure that your pet stays healthy -- and saves you money when compared to expensive, emergency vet care.

Did you know that poor pet dental hygiene is a primary cause of infection in pets? In fact, by the age of three, more than 80% of all dogs have symptoms of gingivitis. Just like in humans, routine pet dental care is essential to preventing gingivitis or a bacterial infection in the gum line. If this infection enters the bloodstream, your pet will be at risk for serious damage to the heart, liver, kidneys and other internal organs. Our pet dental services include cleaning which will remove plaque and tartar build-up from the gum line, reducing the risk of illness.

As pets age, they require additional preventive care in order to stay healthy and active. We love working with senior pets, and are passionate about doing everything possible to enhance your pet’s golden years. Our Spokane vet recommends semi-annual check-ups. Just like in humans, the earlier we can diagnose a medical condition in your pet, the more options we have for providing treatment and preventing this condition from affecting your pet’s health. We also offer pet weight control programs and nutritional counseling to ensure your pet receives a healthy diet.

We are an open clinic and welcome all dogs and cats for any veterinary medical procedure, whether it’s a vaccination booster or more complex surgical care. We are proud to provide pet dermatology services to help treat pet allergies and skin conditions.

Dr. Lohr stays up to date on the latest vet technology advances through continuing education and ongoing training and maintains a treatment and care plan that works best for your pet.
