Services
Hancock Animal Hospital offers a variety of veterinary care options. We offer comprehensive routine care with a thorough physical exam and diagnostic workup. We offer dental care, limited urgent care services, X-rays, and full laboratory services.
We can give Routine Vaccinations for both Dogs and Cats. We offer vaccine titers to determine the need for booster vaccinations, as well as 3-Year rabies and 3-Year distemper vaccinations (depending on the individual animal and timing of the vaccinations). We rely on you asking about vaccines if you are looking to have anything done other than the CORE vaccines of Rabies and Distemper.
