Every pet has different vaccination needs based on their lifestyle. Our staff will work with you to make sure your pet receives the vaccinations he or she needs. Regardless of your pet's vaccination needs, every pet should have a complete annual exam every year. Pets age much faster than humans and each year that goes by in your pet's life is equivalent to 7 or more human years.
Feline leukemia is an incurable virus that is transmitted between cats through saliva, nasal secretions and bite wounds. Mother cats can pass feline leukemia to their kittens. Infected cats can live for many years before showing signs of the disease. We recommend all outdoor cats be tested for feline leukemia every year and vaccinated if the are negative.
We would like to provide you with the latest nutritional information to keep your pet(s) healthy. Following the leas of the specialists (including those at the University of Minnesota, College of Veterinary Medicine) we highly recommend all pet owners transition their pet(s) off the following types of diets.
The grieving process includes accepting the reality of your loss, accepting that the loss and accompanying feelings are painful, and adjusting to your new life that no longer includes your pet. How do I tell my family? Family members usually are already aware of a pet's problems. Every day, Cindy Fleischner lines up her crew of cuddly canines for breakfast.
Veterinary care is crucial and effective for a wide variety of conditions. The following is a partial list of some of the most common. If you do not see your pet's specific condition listed, we encourage you to give us a call so we can personally address your particular concerns. The most common type of arthritis is osteoarthritis which can be due to wear and tear on joints from over use, aging, injury, or from an unstable joint such as which occurs with a ruptured ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) in the knee.

My cats get very anxious around strangers so going to the vet is always a challenge for them, but Dr. Ross is always very gentle and patient with them. I appreciate that the staff at Apache pay attention to the animal's stress level and does what they can to ensure the pet is comfortable as well as healthy.

Really happy with the quality of care that my pets receive here at Apache Animal Hospital. Staff is kind, helpful, and responsive. My babies see Dr. Ross, and he is great about following up with their lab results and giving me ALL the choices. As the owner of a senior kitty, treatments can seriously add up. I really appreciate all the time that Dr. Ross takes to explain the different options I have, as well as the cost breakdown. It helps me make informed decisions about my sweet cat. I really appreciate all they do here!

The vets, techs, and entire staff are all wonderful. I take both my cats there who see Dr. Ross and he is so good with them and really takes his time to go over everything with you in detail. My girl Bella recently had a partial tail amputation done by Dr. Sherry and everything went really well and she explained everything and made me feel reassured. They have done a great job with their COVID-19 policies as well. I highly recommend them. Thank you to the Apache team for your caring, compassionate, and professional care.

I was floored by my first experience at Apache! It was night and day compared to vet clinics I took my previous cat to. I brought my two new kittens here because I heard it was a Cat Friendly Practice, and all of the staff have Fear Free training. Staff brought me and the kittens directly into an exam room so there was no waiting in the foyer with other pets.
The staff were all very affectionate and gentle with my kittens. They also spent plenty of time answering all of my questions. A Feliway pheromone dispenser was plugged into the exam room and my kittens were given treats and toys. Staff distracted my kittens with tasty canned food while Dr. Ross gave them their immunization shots. My kittens played, purred, explored, and even fell asleep at one point during the appointment. I'm grateful to have found providers who genuinely love my kittens and take the time to create a safe experience for them!

I love my boys more than anything. They have taken great care of me, so I do my best to take great care of them. 1 way I do that is by bringing them to Apache Animal Hospital to see Dr. Kai Dahlin and Aimee. Dr. Kai and the whole team make me feel so comfortable. I know my boys are receiving top of the line medical care. But they are also being doted on and loved on.
During our last visit Aimee was so sweet to my Rascal who was very nervous. She wrapped him up in a towel and I knew he was being comforted just like I would do. Thanks Aimee! At Apache Animal Hospital, the staff is thoughtful and caring, kind and informative. After our appt Dr Kai sat with us and talked about everything from cats to life and it gave us an oppurtunity to get to know him and the lovely woman up front (should've asked her name) better. I know my boys are in the best hands. Thanks for all that all of you do.

Apache animal Hospital has proven time after time to be there for my dog. She hasn't been the healthiest pup but the wonderful people at Apache have been so resourceful and determined to make my dog's quality of life the very best it can be. Easy appointment scheduling and reminders are great. And I'll be honest, my dog is not too friendly towards other dogs. Being offered to have a private room and entrance relieves so much stress and anxiety for my dog and myself. Zena and I thank you.

My husband Jim and I have been coming to Apache Animal Hospital with all of our pets for the past 30 years. We have found nothing but professionalism, compassion and friendliness from all staff. From the receptionists to the nurses to the doctors and to the surgeons. On February 22 of this year our dog Josie was diagnosed with osteosarcoma of her right front leg.
This was diagnosed by a vet up north by our Lakehome. This vet had a dog of his own who had the same cancer as Josie he chose to amputate however his dog did not do well and he regretted doing the surgery. Because of this we were considering euthanizing not wanting our Josie to suffer I wanted another opinion so I called our regular vet at Apache.
I initially spoke with Kiki and she suggested finding a website or a Facebook group that dealt with cancer in dogs or dogs who have had an amputation. Thanks to her suggestion I found TRIPAWS- three legged dogs. I asked people for advice on what to do euthanize or amputate and I received over 100 stories of dogs who have had their dogs leg amputated and are living a happy life.
Because of Kiki's suggestion and finding this group TRIPAWS our family decided to go with the amputation. We scheduled her surgery with the amazing Dr Rose. The surgery was a great success and I still can't believe there was no bruising. My dog was up and chasing her favorite tennis ball five days after having her leg removed. Dr. Travis just recently removed Josie's stitches.
She did have a very minor setback due to licking her incision and had to get the cone of shame and a bandage for a couple days but the infection is gone now and she's healed up nicely. We are so grateful to everyone who has helped take care of our Josie and all of our other pets over the years. All of your staff are top notch in our book. Thanks from my family!

We originally were at another vet but moved to Apache when Dr. Travis moved locations and we couldn't be happier with the decision. The entire staff is incredible, personable and truly cares about their clients. Dr. Travis is, without a doubt, a vet that cares not only about your pet's health, but about the owners' thoughts, concerns, and questions.
When our male husky, Enzo, passed way, the entire staff treated us with the utmost respect, care, and absolute love. They treated our boy with dignity, love, and humanity. Beyond that, Dr. Travis sat with us and acknowledged his life, our love, and our collective care for him throughout his journey. We don't know how to explain the compassion that was displayed by the staff, we can only say that we know we could not have chosen a better vet and better clinic to deal with - through the good, the routine, and the difficult. You are more than just a number at Apache, you are part of a vision, and a caring love that deserves to be recognized. We love you guys! ~Lyz & Matt
