DVM Student Externship

Company Description

Since opening our doors in 1979, Candlewood Animal Hospital has been dedicated to helping pets and their owners stay healthy and live long lives. Beginning with early life education and vaccinations, we strive to work with pet owners to raise their four-legged family members in a safe, fun-filled, enriched environment. Following them throughout their lives with healthy, sensible advice, we strive to extend their lives for as long as possible.

Helping our clients and patients in any way we can is our primary goal and what we are here for. We work with many animal welfare organizations to find appropriate homes for unwanted pets. We also have a working relationship with a 24-hour care facility with many specialists, for those pets needing emergency and/or advanced specialty care. Your pet’s well-being is our only concern and we will work with you to fulfill that goal.

We individualize our approach to pet care so as to make rational, informed decisions regarding each pet’s needs. We keep up with the latest trends in veterinary care and blend our approach to meet each individual’s needs. We like to think of ourselves as “old school” doctors and technicians who are also very adept at the latest therapies and therapeutics. Using advanced, modern technology to help us formulate a treatment plan for ill patients, we can more appropriately care for your pets illnesses and find ways to bring them back to health as rapidly as possible.

We believe home is the best place for pets to recover as their human family members can give them the TLC that is necessary for recovery. The emotional and physical bond that people have with their pets is what is essential for their healing process. We work in partnership with pet owners to keep their furry family members healthy and happy.
