Did you know that many pets can have underlying health issues long before they show any signs at home?

Routine wellness lab work is one of the best ways to monitor your pet's health and catch problems early—often before they become serious or costly to treat.

🐾 Adult Pet Wellness Testing

Annual screening helps establish normal baseline values and can detect early signs of:

• Kidney disease
• Liver disease
• Diabetes
• Thyroid disorders
• Infection and inflammation

🐾 Senior Pet Wellness Testing

As pets age, health changes can happen quickly. Regular senior screening helps us identify age-related conditions earlier, allowing for more treatment options and a better quality of life.

Our goal is to keep your pets happy, healthy, and feeling their best through every stage of life.

If your pet is due for an annual exam or senior wellness visit, give us a call to learn more about recommended screening tests. Early detection truly can make all the difference! ❤️

What a great day at the 3rd Annual Donkey Dash!

Several members of the Animal Hospital of Orleans team laced up their "running" shoes and joined the fun while supporting an amazing cause. We were proud to be a sponsor of this year's event benefiting Latham Centers and loved spending time with the stars of the show—the donkeys, Esau and Esther! ❤️

Thank you to everyone who participated, volunteered, donated, and cheered from the sidelines. Community events like these remind us how lucky we are to be part of such a caring and supportive Cape Cod community.

Congratulations to all the runners, and a special thank you to Latham Centers, Inc. for all they do!

Be sure to check out our photos from the day—including some adorable donkey selfies!

Today is a special day for the Animal Hospital of Orleans! 🎉

We are proud to celebrate the 5-year anniversary of Dr. Kirby-Madden's ownership of the hospital! Over the past five years, her dedication to compassionate, Fear Free care, commitment to our patients, and support of our team have helped Animal Hospital of Orleans continue to grow and thrive.

We're also excited to be giving back to our community today as a sponsor of the 3rd Annual Donkey Dash 5K benefiting Latham Centers. Several members of our team will be participating in the event, and we look forward to supporting this wonderful cause. (pics to follow!)

Thank you to our clients, patients, staff, and community for being part of this incredible journey. Here's to many more years of caring for the pets and people of Cape Cod! ❤️🐾

At the Animal Hospital of Orleans, creating positive experiences for our patients is what Fear Free is all about! 💜🐾

Fiona was getting plenty of love and attention from Dr. Cloutier, while Jeremiah made sure there were some extra smiles involved too (those ears ❤️)!

Fear Free isn't just about reducing stress during visits—it's about building trust, creating happy memories, and helping pets feel safe and comfortable every step of the way.

From puppies to seniors, we're committed to making veterinary visits as enjoyable as possible for every pet who walks through our doors.

This handsome guy is Simon, and he came in feeling a bit nervous, but with our Fear Free approach and a team dedicated to making his experience as comfortable as possible, he had a very successful visit!

We are so proud of his progress since he started coming here in 2021, and grateful for the opportunity to help create positive veterinary experiences for him.

Way to go, little guy—we loved seeing that charming snaggle-toothed smile! 🐾
