Promoting Health & Preventing Illness

Prevention is the cornerstone of good health for your beloved dogs and cats. We emphasize the importance of regular check-ups to extend your pet's lifespan. These visits provide an opportunity for us to tailor our care to your pet's individual needs while also strengthening our bond with you and your furry companion.

We provide multiple preventive options to shield your pet from diseases and parasites:

The Exam

A thorough physical exam to evaluate your pet's overall health, including their oral health. With each yearly check-up, we enhance our familiarity with your pet, ensuring their ongoing health and happiness.

Diagnostics

We recommend fecal testing for intestinal parasites and heartworm testing on a yearly basis for most pets. The doctor may suggest blood, urine, and x-rays to evaluate your pet's health further, depending on their age or any existing health concerns.

Vaccinations

Vaccines are essential for your pet's well-being. Our veterinarians will recommend vaccines based on your pet's lifestyle and provide a schedule to ensure they stay up to date, and they'll be better equipped to defend against disease exposure.

Education

Collaboration is key to your pet's health at Metro Paws Animal Hospital. During your visit, we're here to address any questions you have, ensuring that we're both aligned on their care.

Microchipping

Remember, tags can wear out and collars can slip off! It's crucial to have permanent identification for your pet in case they get lost. We offer microchipping, a painless procedure similar to a routine vaccination. A tiny microchip, about the size of a grain of rice, is injected between your pet's shoulder blades. No anesthesia is required, and it provides peace of mind knowing your pet can be easily identified if they ever wander off.

Health Certificates

We have a USDA-certified veterinarian on staff to assist with international health certificates. We also provide interstate and airline health forms. We recommend reaching out to us as soon as you are thinking about traveling out of the country, as some countries have a long wait period to get in with a pet, and some countries may require extensive testing to avoid quarantine periods.

Hands down best veterinary practice in Dallas. Wonderfully caring staff, and Dr. Sarpong is a top-notch doctor.

I recommend this location to anyone looking for a life time vet! Dr. Lavender is outstanding, she really took the time to care for my pet like no other, any questions or concerns were all taken care of as well with ease! This facility has been nothing but helpful to not only me but my pet. This staff pays close attention to you and any needs your pet may have. Customer service is excellent and they update you on your pet very frequently. Thank you so much Metro Paws [Animal Hospital] Family of Oak Cliff!!

Hands down the best. I have been to many other vets in Dallas (and Austin) - these folks actually care. Doctors / Medical staff are great, and the front office staff are so helpful as well! Thank you for being a trusted part of the pet-loving community, Metro Paws Animal Hospital ❤️

– Sophie M.

Dr. Lauren Strazdis is phenomenal. She has been treating our deaf, partially blind and slightly neurological foster puppy. Her professionalism and bedside manner are truly first class. My dog is an extremely difficult K9 patient and I trust her blindly. Don’t think twice about going to see her. Even through Covid she has made our experience exceptional.

– Kent B.

There are not enough words to express how wonderful Dr. Donaldson is as a veterinarian. She is one of the most knowledgeable, friendly and most importantly, compassionate people I have had the pleasure of meeting. If you need the absolute best care for your pets, Metro Paws Animal Hospital - Oak Cliff is the place to go!

– Matthew S.

I love this office. The staff are so friendly and understanding. I'm a doting dog mom who gets nervous even when I just need to take my dog to get annual shots, but I know I'm in great hands. We love Dr. Badamo who is now primarily at the Oak Cliff location, but all of the vets and assistants we've met have been lovely. They are attentive and I don't feel rushed during each consultation. They treat my dog with love and check on him after any procedures or shots to make sure he's doing okay. I would recommend them to any and all animal owners.

– Anne M.

I was so worried about going to the vet in a pandemic, but Metro Paws Animal Hospitals has a totally contactless system that blew me away. Seriously they were so organized and thorough I felt both safe, and also felt like my pet got proper care. Bravo.
