At Claws & Paws Veterinary Hospital, we believe that regular checkups and wellness exams are critical to your pets’ well-being. These wellness exams give us a chance to evaluate the overall health of your pet while also giving us a baseline for their unique bodies and tendencies.
It’s a terrible feeling to know that your pet is lost and on their own, but it’s an avoidable one. Microchipping pets is the best way to ensure their safe return in the unfortunate event that they become lost.
At Claws & Paws Veterinary Hospital, we have been successfully offering acupuncture for many years to our qualifying clients.

Dental disease can lead to health issues with the heart, liver, and kidneys, and can affect the entire body through the bloodstream. Our doctors examine your pet’s teeth and gums semi-annually, as part of their complete physical examination, to determine if a dental cleaning or extraction procedure needs to be performed. Typically, a dental cleaning does not need to be performed before age two in most pets.
Claws & Paws Veterinary Hospital is proud to offer a Class IV Therapeutic Laser. Laser Therapy is the use of specific wavelengths of light (red and near-infrared) to create therapeutic effects.

Vaccination is a critical element of your pets’ overall health care. There are a number of illnesses that require vaccination, and pets of different regions face unique risks as well. Ask one of our veterinarians today about possible vaccinations for your pet.
Ticks can cause many problems for you and your pet. They feed off of the blood of your pets. This is often not enough to make your pets sick. However, many ticks carry terrible diseases such as Lyme Disease, Ehrlichia, and more. Some dogs are allergic to tick bites, which causes a serious problem.
Fortunately for us, we offer a prevention (or preventative choices) for fleas and ticks. Ask one of our veterinarians today about flea and tick prevention to keep your pet happy and healthy.
At Claws & Paws Veterinary Hospital, we emphasize the importance of preventing parasites. Through preventative measures, you can successfully protect your pet. Pets that are not protected often develop parasites, leading to serious problems for them and their owners.
We are proud to be on the cutting edge of medical technology. Radiology is a technique and diagnostic tool we use to look inside the body in an entirely non-invasive way.
Ultrasound uses sound waves to offer a non-invasive, painless, and radiation-free method of imaging your pets’ internal organs. By using ultrasound, we have yet another powerful tool at our disposal to detect, diagnose, and prevent illness in your pet.
We run lab samples in-house at Claws & Paws when needed, but we send samples to a local laboratory and typically receive the results within a day or two.
What is bloodwork and what purpose does it serve? Bloodwork is a means of checking your pet’s internal functions in a non-invasive manner. It can alert us to hidden problems that your pet may have.
Here at Claws & Paws Veterinary Hospital, we are proud to offer boarding services to Pearland, Texas and the surrounding communities. It is our goal to offer the very highest level of care and cleanliness to the patients who are staying with us.
Dogs staying in the hospital over four nights can receive a complimentary bath. This is a cleansing bath only. We reserve the right to decline a pet its complimentary bath if in our judgment the pet’s coat is too long &/or matted. We may also decline the bath if the pet becomes too stressed or cannot be handled safely.
