The doctors and staff at Somerset Veterinary Hospital are dedicated to providing the best care possible for your pet. We offer a wide variety of services to fulfill this mission.
Physical Examinations
The physical examination by the veterinarian is the most important of all the services we offer. It is the first step in evaluating the health of your pet. If problems are detected, the physical exam guides us in determining the appropriate diagnostic tests and/or treatments that are necessary to keep your pet as healthy as possible.

There are many diseases in our companion animals that are able to be prevented. We offer canine and feline vaccinations tailored to your pet's individual needs, heartworm and intestinal parasite preventatives, flea and tick control, and veterinary diets, all tailored to help prevent many diseases and keep your pet healthy.
