The quality of care your pet deserves
We’ve all heard people complain about medical practices treating them like numbers, or like machines in a repair shop – and many of us have had the experience ourselves. To feel like no one cares, at a time when you need compassion the most, only adds to an already traumatic time – even though we fully understand what is going on. Just imagine how a similar experience must feel for an animal.When you choose Bloomfield Animal Hospital, you can take comfort in knowing that your beloved pet will never have an experience such as that described above. As a family owned and operated veterinary hospital, we maintain a home-like atmosphere in our office. We think of our staff and clients as extended family, and our patients as family pets. Animals in our care are surrounded by people who are not only highly skilled and trained, but also gentle, kind, and compassionate.

The importance of choosing and AAHA Accredited Hospital
About your trusted family veterinary clinic in Lakewood, CA. Medical providers treating humans are generally held to very high standards and required to earn applicable accreditation. As a caring pet owner, you probably believe that your non-human family members deserve the same quality of care. We agree. Unfortunately, regulatory agencies do not. In fact, accreditation is entirely voluntary for veterinary hospitals.
The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) is the only accreditation organization for companion animal veterinary hospitals in North America. While studies show that more than half of pet owners assume their family veterinarian is accredited, most are sadly mistaken. In reality, just 12 to 15 percent of all animal hospitals are AAHA accredited – and Bloomfield Animal Hospital is proud to be among them.
In order to earn accreditation, a hospital is evaluated in more than 900 specific quality standards and expected to uphold detailed guidelines of quality care. The AAHA requirements cover everything from surgery and pain management to routine vaccinations and humane handling of aggressive animals.
Exceptional care at every stage of life
Just like us, pets have changing needs as they age. Nutritional and exercise requirements, behavioral problems, and psychological needs evolve as your little bundle of fur and energy grows into an adult, and eventually, a senior animal.In addition to clinical care, we provide guidance and advice about choosing the right food, whether your pet may need supplements, creating a safe and healthy environment for your animal, and much more. Consider us your (and your pet’s) family, who you can always turn to.
