Parasites, Bacteria, and Viruses
Parasites, bacteria, and viruses are fairly common among pets. Whether acquired from another pet, a wild animal, or their own mother, infection typically occurs within a pet’s direct environment. Many of these contagions are also zoonotic or capable of being transmitted to human pet owners, which makes them even more concerning.
While a veterinary exam is not always necessary as some viral infections can subside on their own, others need immediate care, so it is always best to seek proper diagnosis and treatment. If you notice abnormal behavior or symptoms in your pet, please contact our office so we can determine what is ailing them.

Testimonials
Dr. Sekhon has been great with our dog. She is a nervous/reactive rescue and she had double TPLO surgery three weeks apart. Both surgeries went great and healed great. Dr. Sekhon was very accommodating as we were on a time constraint with a trip planned prior to the surgeries. He got us in right away. Overall, would highly recommend if you're seeking a doctor for TPLO surgery.

I cannot express how grateful I am to Dr. Sekhon and the entire team at the Angel Animal Hospital. Dr. Sekhon's expertise and dedication were nothing short of life-saving for my dog. The care and compassion he and his staff provided were exceptional. From the moment we walked in, the ladies at the office were warm and supportive. I'm beyond satisfied with the level of attention and love my dog received. Highly recommend this clinic to anyone in need of outstanding veterinary care.
