Pharmacy and Prescription Diets
Woodland Springs Veterinary Hospital maintains a fully-stocked veterinary pharmacy so that we may better meet your pet’s health care needs. We carry a wide array of medications for your pet. This means you can start your pet’s medication right away without having to go to another pharmacy. Our veterinarians and staff will instruct you on how to administer prescription medication and can answer any questions you may have about your pet’s medication. We also provide access to an on-line pharmacy where clients can order medications not available at the hospital or request prescription refills.

If your pet has special dietary needs, we can help. Woodland Springs Veterinary Hospital carries prescription diets and specially-formulated pet foods. If your pet requires a food that we do not carry, we are happy to place special orders for clients.
Microchipping
Each year, millions of pets go missing. A sturdy collar and an ID tag are a good first step in identifying your pet should he or she become lost or missing, but often, it’s not enough. Microchipping your pet is a safe, easy way to increase the chances that your best friend will return home safely.
Each microchip is about the size and shape of a grain of rice. Vital identifying information is encoded on each microchip; that information is entered into a national pet database. Veterinary hospitals and animal shelters across the country are equipped with special scanners capable of detecting and reading these microchips. If your pet is lost, his or her microchip is scanned and the information in the database is used to reunite you and your faithful companion.
Woodland Springs Veterinary Hospital uses the Bayer resQ microchip system. This is an ISO universal chip that includes lifetime registration. Registration is simple and our reception staff will complete the online registration prior to your departure. If you need to change your information later, you may do so using a simple, easily accessible and secure website. Please ask a staff member for details about microchipping your pet.
