Pet Vaccinations
Sunshine Pet Hospital administers core and lifestyle vaccines to protect pets from infectious diseases. Our veterinarians recommend tailored schedules based on age, health, and lifestyle. We offer rabies, distemper, bordetella, and feline leukemia vaccines, ensuring compliance with local regulations and international travel requirements. Annual boosters maintain immunity.
Wellness Exams
Our comprehensive wellness exams detect early signs of illness through physical assessments and diagnostic tests. Services include bloodwork, urinalysis, and parasite screening. We emphasize annual checkups to monitor health changes, address concerns, and implement preventive strategies for long-term wellness in pets of all ages.
Soft Tissue Surgeries
We perform spays, neuters, mass removals, and gastrointestinal procedures using radiosurgery to minimize bleeding. Pre-surgical blood tests and anesthesia monitoring ensure safety. Our team specializes in abdominal and thoracic surgeries, with postoperative care focused on pain management and recovery support for optimal outcomes.
Dental Care
Our dental services include cleanings, extractions, and periodontal treatments to prevent oral disease. We use digital X-rays and scaling to address hidden infections. Annual dental exams help identify issues early, reducing risks of systemic health complications linked to poor oral hygiene in pets.
Dermatology Services
We diagnose and treat allergies, infections, and autoimmune skin conditions through allergy testing and medicated therapies. Our team addresses ear problems, flea infestations, and chronic itching with multimodal approaches, including topical treatments and dietary adjustments to improve skin health and comfort.

Absolutely love this vet clinic! As a frequent traveler with a dog, I have visited a whole lot of vets all around the world, and I can say first hand that they are not all equal. Even locally, I have had a lot of experiences with vets who are not so friendly, lack knowledge, or even mess up paperwork. At Sunshine Animal Hospital, I can promise you that you and your pet will get five star experience every single time.
The doctors and techs are so sweet with my dog, Bella, and really treat her as if she was their own pet. They also know so much about all of the technical questions that I bother with, and take time to explain everything to me in detail. I will forever be grateful for the times that they helped me get my paperwork in order at the last minute when I was having travel issues or needed additional vaccinations. Thanks to all of you for giving Bella the best care!

We have taken our Finley The Wondercat there several times and are thrilled with the service and care they gave him. Dr. Rebala cleaned his teeth, pulled his teeth, and is treating him for allergies. They kept the costs reasonable and when we had questions afterwards, they talked us through everything. 5 stars out of 5!

Checked this place out since I was in the area and remembered my dog was due for a few vaccines. They were ready for me the minute I called when the Dr was apart of the whole thing and even did a complete exam on my dog while he was there. The prices were unbeatable honestly. Definitely a place to check out. Alot of personal care for not alot of money.
