Preventive care

Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

We took our 100 pound German Shepherd, Lupo, to Iron Mountain Animal Hospital on last minute notice due to an urgent issue as he had a dangerously infected leg and was very uncomfortable. They were able to get us in the next day (when no animal hospital in the area would accommodate us). The building/facility is new and very clean. The waiting area is comfortable for pets of all shapes and sizes. The reception team, nurses, and doctors were very gentle and patient with Lupo and ensured he was as comfortable as possible. I would recommend Iron Mountain Animal Hospital to any pet owner that needs urgent or consistent care for their pet.

We had a great experience at Iron Mountain Animal Hospital. We were 5 hours from home when our dog needed urgent care . We received excellent care and service with a smile from Laura and Dr. Alessandrini! Everyone that we interacted with via phone and in the clinic was very professional and kind. Thank YOU very much!

I needed to take my Kitty into the emergency last night and was directed to go to Appleton, Wi. Because I have not done business with them in the last year even though I have been taking my pets there for years! It's all about money!!!

Just moved to this area along with Sophie, my 18 year old Rhodesian Ridgeback mix. Everyone at the hospital was very helpful and patient. Coming from Albuquerque, we're familiar with curbside service and understand why it's done. Sophie will continue with all her visits here. The staff said Sophie was a really good girl! Thank you so much!

I took my dog of 10 years in for a large massy lump in his leg. Three hours later Dr. Hurley had successfully removed the lump and she and her staff carried all 100 pounds of him to my car. I can't thank her enough...she quickly diagnosed the issue and saw an opening in the schedule. She made the correct call as it was likely cancerous. I think she may have saved his life and I can't thank her enough!!!
