for Dogs in New West LA Pet Hospital

clients

All
the amenities of modern medicine are available at a new West Los Angeles
hospital. There's 24-hour emergency care, a team of surgeons, psychology and physical therapy units, MRI and CT machines, one of the top oncologists in the country.
Medical
assistants busily roam the halls, soothing patients' fears with smiles, kind
words or gentle touches. But they have to watch out: The patients can bite.
They're
dogs, cats and other pets being treated at the VCA West Los Angeles Animal Hospital, which at 42,000 square
feet is the largest pet hospital west of the Mississippi River.
It
is one of only a handful of U.S. animal hospitals that offer such sophisticated
procedures as bone-marrow transplants for dogs — at a startling $16,000 — as
well as radiation therapy,
acupuncture treatment and hydrotherapy pools.
