  • Want to know our top recommendations?
  • If your pet is coming for a visit and is not having current stomach issues, bring them hungry! If your pet is food motivated, we have all the goodies here, and they will love getting the extra treats and love from us even more. If your pet has specific treats that you prefer, feel free to bring them along.
  • If you feel like your pet has a lot of anxiety, please let us know. We may recommend a PVP (pre-visit pharmaceutical) to help alleviate stress and anxiety while here.

Cat Friendly Practice

We find that cats and cat owners alike are often dreading a visit to the vet. At Bethany Animal Hospital, we are dedicated to creating a more calming environment for cats, clients, and staff. For this reason, we are voluntarily certified as a Cat-Friendly Practice- Silver (CFP) through the Feline Veterinary Medical Association. This certification ensures we are regularly assessing the best practices for felines, and adjusting our practice protocol to create a healthy, happy hospital for cats!

I'm very particular about my vet being a cat-friendly environment. They were overly accommodating to cats! The doctor was sweet and gentle with my Merlin and the office was spotless. They even sprayed his carrier with the hormones to help his ride home be less stressful and it really worked. Only been here once now but I was extremely impressed and will definitely not hesitate going back with my felines!
