This is the full list, in one place. We are a full-spectrum practice for dogs and cats in Williamsville, New York, and most of what follows is done in-house rather than referred out — which is usually faster for you and less disruptive for your pet.

The foundation of everything else — knowing what normal looks like for your pet while they are well.

Dental care
Performed under anesthesia with full-mouth radiographs, because two-thirds of every tooth sits below the gumline.

Common questions
What types of pets does Pathways Animal Hospital treat?
We provide veterinary care for dogs and cats, including services for breeding, neonatal care, rehabilitation and reproductive medicine.
Do you refer patients out for diagnostics or surgery?
Most diagnostics and surgery are performed in-house, including digital radiology, ultrasound, laboratory work, soft tissue and orthopedic surgery. We refer on where a case genuinely needs a board-certified specialist, and we will say so plainly rather than attempting something outside our scope.
Are you accepting new patients?
Yes. Pathways Animal Hospital is currently accepting new patients and welcomes pets at every life stage. We prefer that you request an appointment before your first visit so we can allow the right amount of time.
