Preventive Care

• Dental Care
  A pet's dental health is just as important as their physical health, however, it often goes overlooked. The reality is that oral hygiene plays a huge part in ensuring your pet lives a long, healthy life.
• Vaccination
  Hippocrates once said that “the greatest medicine of all is teaching people how not to need it.” The same philosophy can be applied to pets, and it’s part of who we are at Wilmington Animal Hospital. Our veterinarians practice traditional veterinary medicine with a more individualized approach to prevent disease while promoting overall wellness for all of our dog and cat patients in Wilmington, DE. Instead of emphasizing vaccinations, we shift our attention to total body health and preventive medicine which means vaccine recommendations are individualized to each patient’s unique needs.
• Veterinary Ophthalmology
  Exams allow our veterinarians to detect problems and diseases that might go undiscovered otherwise, including heart murmurs, tumors, enlarged organs, cataracts, ear infections, ear mites, dental disease, skin issues, and allergies.
• Behavioral Counseling
• Nutritional Counseling
  Dr. Stefanie (Steffi) Muller-Edling graduated from Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Muller has loved and cared for animals since childhood. She received a Bachelor of Science in Biology with a minor in English literature from the University of Virginia. She spent 4 years practicing in Flagstaff, Arizona after graduating veterinary school, and is happy to be back on the East Coast. Her special interests include behavioral medicine, weight management, preventative care, client education, and feline medicine.
• Comprehensive Examination
  Wilmington Animal Hospital offers preventive care and services for kittens, puppies, cats, and dogs. Bringing your pet to one of our veterinarians for a physical exam is the smartest and easiest way to keep them healthy.

Illness Treatment

• Parasites Treatment and Control
  Diagnostic testing to identify any health conditions that cannot be detected during a physical exam and to confirm your cat is free from internal parasites
• Behavioral Disorder Treatment

• Pain Management
  Following surgery, your pet will be kept comfortable and monitored while the effects of anesthesia wear off. Wanting to rest for the remainder of the day is normal, but if you’re concerned about your pet’s post-op behavior, please don’t hesitate to call us at (302) 762-2694.
