Princeton Animal Hospital & The Carnegie Cat Clinic is a full service hospital offering a complete array of veterinary services.

Outpatients: For your convenience, we offer outpatient appointments 7 days a week.

Exams: Your pet's examination begins with a complete history taken by one of our experienced technicians. The history is an important tool in identifying key aspects of your pet's health. Following the history, the veterinarian performs a complete comprehensive 12-body system examination.

We stress preventive veterinary medicine and prescribe a treatment only after a proper diagnosis is reached. In order to achieve a sound diagnosis, it is sometimes necessary to run additional tests. Following the examination, the client receives a complete report card based on the doctor's findings. These findings are recorded in the patient's records.

At Princeton Animal Hospital, we involve our clients so that they can make informed decisions regarding the health care of their pets.

Vaccines offered for cats include feline distemper (feline panleukopenia), feline infectious respiratory disease complex, rabies and feline leukemia.
