IconPreventative Care

At Wheaton Animal Hospital, lifelong health starts with preventive care. We provide wellness exams for dogs, cats, and exotic pets, tailored vaccine plans, parasite prevention, and early detection screenings to keep your pet feeling their best.

Good dental health is about more than fresh breath; it’s essential to your pet’s overall well-being. We offer comprehensive dental services, including teeth cleanings, digital dental X-rays, and extractions when needed. Our goal is to catch problems early, reduce discomfort, and preserve your pet’s periodontal health.

From routine procedures like spays and neuters to more advanced soft tissue surgeries, your pet’s safety and comfort come first. Our experienced surgical team uses careful anesthesia protocols, modern equipment, and thoughtful pain management to make surgery as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Have a turtle, parrot, or guinea pig at home? You’re in good hands. Dr. Schwartz and our team provide experienced, species-specific care for a wide range of exotic pets, including reptiles, birds, small mammals, and even fish. We understand their unique needs and are proud to be a trusted resource for exotic pet parents in Kensington and beyond.

When your pet needs answers, our in-house imaging capabilities help us get them quickly. We use digital radiology and ultrasound to diagnose everything from orthopedic injuries to internal issues, offering a clearer view of what’s going on, and what to do next.

Our Story

Wheaton Animal Hospital has been a trusted part of the Kensington and Wheaton communities since 1974. For over 50 years, we’ve proudly served local families with thoughtful, compassionate care for dogs, cats, and a wide variety of exotic pets.
 
We’ve built our reputation on long-term relationships: with pets, with people, and with the community we’re proud to call home. Many of our clients have been with us for generations, and so have many of our team members.
 
At Wheaton Animal Hospital, we understand just how much your pet means to you. From routine checkups to complex medical cases, we’re here to support you every step of the way with care that’s experienced, kind, and always tailored to your pet.

With a long-standing reputation and a passion for every kind of pet, Wheaton Animal Hospital blends traditional veterinary care with personalized attention and species-specific knowledge. We’re proud to serve a diverse and devoted community, offering services tailored to dogs, cats, and a wide range of exotic pets.

Decades of Community Trust

Since opening our doors in 1974, we’ve been a trusted name in the Kensington and Wheaton area. We’re honored to care for multiple generations of pets from the same families, and even see some of the same friendly faces we met decades ago. That kind of history means something to us, and we’re proud to continue earning your trust, visit after visit.

Veterinary Expertise for Exotic Pets

Not every vet is equipped to care for snakes, turtles, guinea pigs, birds, or fish—but we are. Dr. Schwartz and our team offer experienced, species-appropriate care for a wide range of exotic pets, including reptiles, small mammals, birds, and aquatic animals. Whether your parrot needs a wellness check or your bearded dragon isn’t eating, we’re here to help.

A Team That Knows Your Pet by Name

Our team isn’t just experienced; they’re here for the long haul. Many of our team members have worked at Wheaton Animal Hospital for multiple decades. With a shared passion for pets, our team builds deep, lasting relationships with the families we serve. From remembering your dog’s favorite treat to recognizing when something’s just a little “off” with your cat, that kind of consistency is rare, and it makes a difference in your pet’s care.
