Exceptional Care, Fostered in Connection
Here, you’ll see the same trusted veterinarian at every visit who knows your pet’s story, your lifestyle, and your goals. Our team blends decades of clinical experience with the warmth and reliability of a family-owned practice, delivering next-level medicine in a relationship-driven environment.
AAHA Accreditation: A Promise of Excellence
We’re proud to be AAHA-accredited, a distinction earned by fewer than 15% of animal hospitals in the U.S. and Canada. This certification reflects our unwavering commitment to safety, cleanliness, communication, and medical excellence.
Stress-Free Methods: Calmer Visits, Happier Pets
We believe that great medicine starts with compassion, and that includes your pet’s emotional well-being. Our team uses Fear Free handling techniques to make each visit gentle and positive by using calming pheromones, quiet exam spaces, and low-stress handling to help your pet feel safe and relaxed.
Advanced Medical Care: The Skill & Technology to Do More
We bring specialty-level care to your neighborhood. Our animal hospital is equipped with advanced surgical and diagnostic technology of the same caliber you’d find in referral hospitals, delivered by the local team you know and trust. Instead of referring you elsewhere, we’re often able to say, “We can help here.”
The Heart Behind Our Medicine
At the center of Pleasant Prairie Animal Hospital is Dr. Terry Pettey, a seasoned veterinarian with more than thirty years of experience and a lifelong dedication to both medicine and mentorship. Known for his depth of knowledge, calm confidence, and genuine care for people and pets, Dr. Pettey leads a team that’s as compassionate as it is capable. When you visit, you’ll notice the difference: a team that remembers you, respects you, and roots for your pet’s best life.
Comprehensive Care for Every Stage of Life
Our services are designed to grow with your pet, from their first puppy or kitten visit to their golden years. With advanced diagnostics, skilled surgery, and personalized wellness care, we’re equipped to meet your pet’s every need under one roof.
Wellness Exams
These are not five-minute checkups. Instead, they’re meaningful conversations about keeping your companion healthy for years to come that considers your pet’s breed, age, and daily life.
Dentistry
Our dental services go far beyond teeth cleanings. With oral surgery capabilities, digital X-rays, and skilled anesthesia monitoring, we’re equipped to handle everything from extractions to oral mass removal.
Surgery
From soft-tissue procedures to orthopedic surgeries like TPLOs and fracture repairs, we provide advanced surgical care supported by vigilant anesthesia monitoring and post-op pain control.
X-Ray & Ultrasound
We use in-house X-ray, ultrasound, and echocardiography to provide real-time insights, allowing us to diagnose and treat conditions with speed and precision.
Loved by Pets & Their People
Our clients say it best. From first-time pet parents to lifelong families, their words reflect what we strive for every day: exceptional care, genuine connection, and pets who leave feeling better than when they arrived.
