I have entrust care of my two Yorkshire Terriers, Roland and Maximilian, to St. Francis Animal Hospital since they were puppies. The doctors and the entire staff have given them the best possible care, and kept them in good health for a decade. They are caring, compassionate, and professional. I highly recommend them.

St. Francis Animal Hospital offers a wide spectrum of veterinary services to address all your pet's health needs throughout their life. Our preventative care services are the foundation of our commitment to your pet's long-term health. These services include comprehensive wellness examinations tailored to your pet's age, breed, and lifestyle. We develop individualized vaccination protocols to protect your pet from common and potentially serious diseases. Parasite prevention is crucial, and we offer effective strategies for controlling fleas, ticks, heartworms, and other internal and external parasites. Nutritional counseling is also an integral part of our preventative care, as proper nutrition plays a vital role in overall health and well-being. We also offer microchipping services, a safe and permanent way to identify your pet in case they ever get lost.

When your pet is unwell, St. Francis Animal Hospital is equipped with advanced diagnostic tools to help us accurately and efficiently determine the cause of their illness. Our in-house laboratory allows us to perform a wide range of diagnostic tests, including blood work, urinalysis, fecal examinations, and cytology, providing rapid results that aid in timely diagnosis and treatment. We also utilize digital radiography (X-rays) to visualize internal structures and identify conditions affecting bones, organs, and soft tissues. Ultrasound imaging is another valuable diagnostic tool that allows us to examine internal organs in real-time. These advanced capabilities enable us to provide prompt and accurate diagnoses, leading to more effective treatment plans.

For pets requiring surgical intervention, St. Francis Animal Hospital offers a comprehensive range of surgical services. Our modern surgical suite is equipped with advanced anesthesia monitoring equipment to ensure your pet's safety during procedures. Our experienced surgeons perform a variety of surgeries, including routine spays and neuters, soft tissue surgeries (such as mass removals and abdominal procedures), and some orthopedic surgeries. We prioritize pain management and utilize a multimodal approach to ensure your pet is comfortable before, during, and after surgery. Our dedicated surgical team provides meticulous care and monitoring throughout the entire process.

Recognizing the critical link between oral health and overall well-being, St. Francis Animal Hospital offers comprehensive dental care services. Our dental services include thorough dental examinations, professional dental cleanings under anesthesia to remove plaque and tartar buildup, digital dental radiography to assess the health of the teeth and bone below the gum line, and treatment of dental diseases such as extractions when necessary. We educate pet owners on the importance of at-home dental care to maintain their pet's oral hygiene between professional cleanings.

During our regular business hours, we are equipped to handle many urgent and critical care situations. Our trained team can provide immediate assessment and stabilization for pets in need.

This was our first time at St. Francis and we had a great experience. The staff was friendly and the facility was very clean. I loved that Dr. Jody sat on the floor with Bentley and was so loving and gentle with him.

Dr Gonzalez and the staff at St Francis Animal Hospital take such good care of our dog. They listen to our concerns and provide superior veterinary care! We feel that our dog is in good hands and thank them so much!

I can't believe it took me this long to write a review. We have been coming here almost 10 years, since our older dog was just a little puppy. Both of my dogs have always been well cared for! You can absolutely tell that the staff here love what they do! From the moment you walk through the door, you and your pet are treated with kindness, patience, and respect. Both my dogs absolutely love coming to the vet. They don't fear it. We have absolutely loved Dr. Jody. My boy, Loki, especially! Even when we moved out of Fredericksburg, we keep bringing them back because we truly feel part of the family. They're an amazing team and I cannot recommend them enough!

My dog wrote this…. I promise!!!! The whole clinic makes me nervous, but, they know so they greet me with treats (all the treats) … and go slow with me. They respect my fear of the unknown even though they’ve never even raised an eyebrow at me. They just want me to love them, I try, I really do. They have really yummy treats; cheese, peanut butter and even whipped cream!! I had to get some lab work done and I didn’t even realize they took all that blood until I nearly fainted after seeing the tubes. I got some “bee sting” things (vaccines) that Mom said will protect me. I’m not sure that crazy lady knows what she’s talking about but I trust the Dr and her crew. I was exhausted and my Dad said I was good. I got more treats and treats to go that was amazing. Dad says I gotta bring back a sample but I have no idea how I’m gonna fit that in the itty bitty cup they sent. Overall this crew loved seeing me and I showed them a trick or two but I had to get back home to my wobble ball and Mr. Woobie (my pheasant friend). I’ll be back but only for the treats and maybe to show off a new skill or two and I’ll let them oooooohh and ahhhhhh over me.
