Coastal Animal Hospital’s goal is to provide you and your pet the best medicine possible in a relaxed and comfortable environment. Plus, when you come to see us, you get to relax in our living room, peruse Lou’s Records, check out the other local shops, or you can walk down to Pannikin Coffee Shop just a few doors down. Pets enhance our lives and we make every effort to treat them like they are our own family members. We provide personalized care for your pet from the first visit to their final moments. We strive to laugh with you during the happy times and give you a shoulder to lean on when you need that too. Come see how we are different.

Laparoscopic SpaysLaparoscopy, or minimally-invasive surgery, is a way to explore the organs of your pet’s abdomen using only two tiny key-hole incisions. Using these incisions (generally 3/16”), a camera is inserted in to the abdomen and the internal structures are magnified allowing for a more thorough examination. The second incision allows surgical instruments to enter the abdomen and perform tasks like biopsies. Recent studies have shown the use of laparoscopy to be a less traumatic and less painful alternative to traditional procedures, such as a spay.
