Pediatrics
There is no more special time in the life of your pet than those first few weeks. In addition to proper immunizations and medical care, we help you reach the important milestones of housetraining, managing common behavior issues, and raising a healthy pet.

Puppy Classes

Gentle training for your new best friend!  We offer a four week class for puppies 8 to 16 weeks of age.  This is a great way to help your puppy learn good manners and healthy social skills.

Preventative Health Care
We at Morris Animal Hospital believe that the best way to enhance your pet’s quality of life and to avoid health problems is to maintain a regular schedule of comprehensive health examinations.  During these visits, we discuss nutritional needs, vaccinations, parasite prevention, laboratory tests and additional medical services that can help us optimize your friend’s health and quality of life.

Laser Surgery

Lasers have been successfully used in human medicine for over 30 years. Now your pet can benefit from this cutting edge technology.  Laser surgery is an exciting new option for safer, more comfortable care. In many procedures, the laser can replace the scalpel and provide a better alternative to traditional surgery.  Laser surgery offers the benefit of less bleeding during surgical procedures, and less pain and swelling post-operatively.  As a result, pets recover more comfortably, and return to normal activity more quickly.

PennHip Evaluations for Hip Dysplasia

PennHip offers a more accurate means of evaluating dogs (and cats) for the presence of hip dysplasia than the more well known, OFA technique.  Dr. Doug is one of only three veterinarians in the northern Indiana area who are certified to perform this examination on your pet.

Dermatology and Diseases of the Ear
Skin and ear problems affect a great number of pets.  Our doctors have special training and equipment to help provide relief for your pet while educating and involving you in managing these conditions.

After Hours and Emergency Care
We utilize the services of the Animal Emergency Clinic, located about five minutes from Morris Animal Hospital at 2324 Grape Road, in Mishawaka. They provide 24 hour care on weekends and holidays, and are open all night during the week.  Their phone number is (574) 259-8387.

Please note that we do have an answering machine for your convenience, and will return messages the following morning (or on Mondays for messages left over the weekend).  Therefore, if you call after hours and your pet has an emergency, please go directly to the Animal Emergency Clinic rather than wait for a phone call back from us!
