Professional Services
We're pleased to offer the following services at Kahului Animal Hospital:
Wellness Care: Kahului Animal Hospital offers routine health care for dogs and cats as well as birds. We offer discounted vaccine packages to keep your pets healthy and protected against disease.
Surgery: We're very proud of our history of providing advanced surgical procedures for your pets. We introduced bone plating and advanced internal fixation for bone fractures on Maui in 1990. Our history includes spinal surgery for disc herniation, bone transplantation for cancer patients, corrective osteotomy for bone deformities, and plastic surgery reconstruction for animals with deforming injuries.
Anesthesiology: The ability to perform safe and reliable anesthesia is given number one priority at Kahului Animal Hospital. Every animal is given a complete evaluation prior to anesthesia and the anesthesia is tailored to each individuals needs. We use inhalation anesthesia 100% of the time for its safety and rapid recovery. Every animal is monitored while under anesthesia using ECG and pulse oximetry monitors. All anesthetized patients are under direct supervision until they are fully recovered.
Laboratory Testing: In house laboratory testing can literally be the difference between life and death and our Idexx Vet Lab Station includes the Lasercyte laser cell counter, Vetlyte analyzer and the Vettest chemistry analyzer for rapid and reliable lab results in minutes.
Radiology: The ability to generate high quality diagnostic images is paramount and our Xray system is the most powerful available in private practice. We utilize the same systems available in human radiology and this is coupled with high detail Fuji films to provide unsurpassed radiographic imaging.
Endoscopy: Our fiberoptic endoscope is the only one of its kind available for veterinary use on Maui. It is a wonderful tool that can be utilized for the removal of gastric and esophageal foreign bodies that would otherwise require a more invasive surgery to remove. It has allowed a gentler alternative for pets that just couldn't resist that chicken bone on the ground and has been a real life saver.
Utrasound: Ultrasound is another wonderful diagnostic tool that can be utilized for imaging of the internal structures of the body. It has many applications in assessing cardiac disease and internal organ structures in the abdomen.
Boarding: Kahului Animal Hospital provides boarding services for our registered clients only. All animals are housed indoors in air conditioned cages and kennels under the immediate supervision of the doctors. Dogs are exercised outdoors twice daily (or more often as indicated) but are never exposed to other animals to avoid any risk of injury or disease.
Bathing / Grooming: We provide routine bathing for dogs and cats as well as dipping and other methods of flea and tick control. Routine grooming is also available.
Emergency & Urgent Care: Our staff is trained and equipped to handle any urgent care your pet has. If you ever feel that your pet needs emergency treatment do not hesitate to call immediately. It is always best to call before coming in so that a team member can advise you on your particular emergency.
