  • What are your office hours?

    Our hospital is open Monday through Friday 8am to 5pm. 


    If you pet is experiencing an emergency or cannot wait until our office opens for normal business hours, we recommend contacting one of the local emergency hospitals. You can find a list of trusted emergency hospitals and urgent care clinics on our website under the "Sick Pet & Urgent Care" tab. 

  • Do you accept pet insurance?

    We strongly recommend pet insurance if the owner is interested. We work with all pet insurance providers. Payment for services we provide is made to us by the owner at the time of service. We will then provide you with a detailed invoice and exam notes so you can submit your claim to the insurance provider for reimbursement.

  • What is low stress handling?

    At Edgewater Animal Hospital, we use low-stress and gentle-handling techniques in order to provide a safe and calm visit for pets and their owners. We escort the pet and their owner directly into an exam room upon arrival. We give pets time to settle in and offer plenty of treats and encouragement. We also have quiet spaces to help pets feel more at ease and less crowded. If needed, we prescribe pre-visit medications that can help calm your pet to make the experience less stressful and frightening for them.

  • What makes your hospital different than others?

    Edgewater Animal Hospital is proudly 100% privately owned by Dr. Amy Kirkpatrick. We do not have any corporate prices or protocols that we have to adhere to. 


    We are able to tailor veterinary care to each individual pet based on their needs. 


    We are committed to doing things the right way, not the fast way. Every visit is thoughtful, relationship-based, supported by advanced diagnostics, and delivered with warmth, patience, and a sense of ease. Appointments are intentionally longer. Conversations are encouraged. Pets and their families deserve time to ask questions, understand next steps, and feel confident about their decisions.

  • Do you have payment plans?
