P.E.T. at Heartland

Proactive Education and Training - The doctors and staff at Heartland Animal Hospital take a hands-on approach in educating and training our clients about the best possible care for their pets, throughout all stages of life. This is what we call P.E.T.-Proactive Education and Training. From flea/tick prevention to behavioral issues. From infectious diseases to inherited disorders, we make sure all of our clients receive the education and training they need to make informed decisions on how best to care for their furry family members.

You will find that the staff at Heartland Animal Hospital makes regular recommendations for your pets health. Keeping our clients informed and educated keeps your beloved four-legged friends happy and healthy. Our goal is to strengthen the relationship between client, pet and doctor.

We do the educating. You make the decisions!

We are so fortunate to have Dr. Patti Cuddihee for our cats’ doctor. For 18 years, she seems to always know exactly what to do for our cats. We just wish we had a doctor for us humans that was as intuitive about our needs as Dr. Cuddihee is about our cats’ needs. She knows them all by name and loves them.

This year we had to have our most beloved cat euthanized. Dr. Cuddihee came to the house and, afterwards, hugged me and cried with me.

Usually, our stories are good ones. Recently, an 18 year old cat that is slowing down and has health issues had to have his teeth cleaned and extracted. He also had an ulcer in his mouth that Dr. Cuddihee had to treat. Unlike usual, he came home the same day ready to eat and cuddle and, by evening, go for a walk outdoors, with us.

The young ladies at the clinic are always so friendly and helpful, as well. Thanks, Dr. Cuddihee, for taking such good care of our beloved furry family.
