Stow Kent Animal Hospital offers a full range of services, from routine care to advanced diagnostics, including surgical and dental suites. We employ low-stress techniques to ensure a positive, stress-free visit for both owners and patients.
Students can engage in an interactive learning session with one of our experienced DVMs.
In addition to RVTs and veterinary assistants, our fully staffed hospital has 8 DVMs ranging in experience from under 10 years to over 40. Our medical director is also ABVP boarded in Canine/Feline, and he is a major contributor to the VIN exotics associate database. In addition to dogs and cats, two of our doctors also treat a wide range of exotic animals as well as some backyard farm animals in a non-ambulatory manner.
We have a particular dedication to continuing education and staying current. Each week we have a coordinated doctor’s lunch which the student would be expected to attend. At the meeting we get CE, much of which is Ohio RACE approved, to learn about new treatments, procedures, drugs, etc.
Within our practice we offer diagnostic services including modern ultrasonography, digital radiography, endoscopy, EKG, blood pressure, surgical monitors, a high and low speed dental unit and digital dental radiography, as well as a comprehensive in-house laboratory (CBC, Chemistry, U/A, Coags).
We work with a local shelter and can usually arrange some supervised spay/neuter procedures if the student is interested.
Student will be expected to spend 32 to 40 hours per week in the clinic shadowing one of our vets and performing some examinations and procedures under supervision of our doctors and staff. Student will be expected to attend our weekly CE meetings and contribute any requests for topics or questions.
Our 3 locations are all within a 5-mile radius. Our main hospital operates Monday – Friday from 7 am to 6 pm, Wednesday 7 am until 9:30 pm, and Saturday from 7 am to 1 pm. The schedule is based around 4 hour shifts and there are breaks for AM procedures and communications as well as scheduled meal breaks.
