Services

Your First Visit:
At Countryside Animal Clinic, we concentrate on preventative medicine. On your first visit, we will ask you questions about your pet's environment in order to tailor a vaccination protocol just for your pet. This will take a little time, but it is very important to make sure that we provide the care that your pet needs.
Drop-Off Appointments:
Drop-off services are available for your convenience. We will see pets for drop-off appointments for most medical needs. This service allows you to drop off your animal first thing in the morning and pick him/her up later in the afternoon, or after necessary procedures are completed. We ask that you call ahead and have your pet at our office by 10:00am for drop-off services. A staff member will discuss your concerns for your pet, and Dr. Lortie will call you to discuss her findings as soon as she has examined your pet.
House Calls:
House call appointments for pets are available on a limited basis. Please call for availability and more details.
Spaying and Neutering:
We are very committed in helping to control pet overpopulation. We make our spay and neuter prices as affordable as possible. We also offer a pre-surgical exam and consultation to evaluate your pet if you so desire at no additional charge.
Emergencies:
Countryside Animal Clinic provides 24-hour emergency services for pets of existing clients. Emergencies for non-client pets will be taken only on a case by case basis. We make every attempt to be available for every emergency that our clients have. In case of an emergency, call the clinic number (260) 635-1700 after hours you will be forwarded to an answering service that will take you call and get in touch with Dr. Lortie. Rarely, there are occasions that Dr. Lortie is attending another emergency or is not immediately available. If for some reason you cannot reach the answering service or do not hear back right away, please call the Ft. Wayne Emergency and Specialty Hospital at (260) 255-3074.
Large Animals:
In addition to pets, Dr. Lortie also provides care for large animals including cattle, swine, sheep, goats, and alpacas. We only provide emergency service for large animals for existing clients. However, we do not provide care for horses. Currently due to high demand we are not taking new large animal clients unless the animal can be hauled into the clinic.
