In addition to our core service departments, Peach City Animal Hospital in Penticton provides a range of support services that complement your pet's primary care. From hospitalization and monitoring to on-site product dispensing and specialist referral coordination, these services are available to every patient and managed directly by our veterinary team.
When a pet requires more intensive care than an outpatient visit can provide, we offer hospitalization within our clinic during our operating hours. Hospitalized patients receive continuous monitoring of vital signs, intravenous fluid support, pain management, and attentive nursing care. We use hospitalization for post-surgical recovery, management of acute illness, stabilization before transfer to a specialist facility, and for patients requiring serial monitoring of a rapidly changing condition. We communicate clearly with you about your pet's progress throughout their stay and provide a detailed summary at discharge.
Our on-site dispensing service allows you to obtain veterinary-approved products for your pet directly through our clinic. This includes parasite preventives, joint supplements, ear cleaning products, dental care products, and other items recommended as part of your pet's care plan. Purchasing through your veterinary clinic ensures you receive the correct product for your pet's species, weight, and health status, and that the product has been stored appropriately. Ask our team about available products at your next visit or call ahead to arrange a pickup.
Some conditions require advanced expertise beyond the scope of a general practice clinic. When a specialist's involvement would benefit your pet's outcome, we provide referrals to board-certified veterinary specialists including internal medicine specialists, surgeons, cardiologists, neurologists, and oncologists at accredited referral centers. We prepare a comprehensive referral summary including full history, current bloodwork, imaging, and our clinical assessment so that the specialist team has everything they need before your appointment. We remain involved in your pet's care throughout the referral process.
Intravenous fluid support is used for patients recovering from surgery, managing dehydration, receiving certain long-term infusion support, or requiring fluid-assisted kidney support during hospitalization. We also provide in-house blood glucose monitoring for diabetic patients and those with suspected blood sugar instability. These services are available during all operating hours and are integrated into the broader care plan rather than provided as standalone procedures. Speak with your veterinarian if you have questions about whether your pet may benefit from either of these services.
