Highland Veterinary Clinic
Evansville, Indiana
Pet diagnostics,
surgery & dentistry.
When your pet needs answers or a procedure, you deserve to understand the plan. Highland brings diagnostic testing, surgical care, and dentistry together with careful assessment, personal guidance, and a familiar team.
A clearer picture.
A personal care plan.
A genuinely personal connection.
Evidence before the next step
Diagnostic tests
guide your pet's care.
A physical examination and the changes you notice at home give us a starting point. Laboratory testing and diagnostic images add information that helps us assess health, investigate concerns, and explain what comes next.
Digital radiology
Another view
of your pet's health.
Digital X-rays help us investigate concerns beyond what an exam can show. Images can be shared for specialist review when needed.
Advanced imaging and specialty care may involve referral. We help coordinate the next step.

Blood testing
Bloodwork adds
important context.
Blood chemistry and blood-cell testing help assess your pet's health. Results can support screening, evaluation before anesthesia, and monitoring of an ongoing condition.
Health screening · Clinical assessment
Urinary health
Urine testing
offers a closer look.
Urine chemistry and sediment evaluation provide another perspective on your pet's health. Findings are considered alongside the examination, history, and other test results.

Targeted screening
Specific tests
help focus the plan.
When indicated, targeted screening helps investigate particular concerns, including selected infectious diseases. We recommend testing for a reason, not the same panel for every pet.

Connected results
Results inform
their health story.

A thoughtful procedure plan
Surgical care starts
with your individual pet.
Thoughtful care.
Familiar hands.
The plan, explained
A recommendation for surgery comes with a conversation: what we are treating, why a procedure may help, and what your family can expect. Highland offers selected surgical care with attention to preparation, anesthesia, comfort, and recovery.
Assessment shapes
the anesthesia plan.
Your pet's examination, health history, and recommended pre-anesthetic testing inform the plan. We explain the procedure, discuss individual risks, and leave room for your questions before moving forward.
Monitoring remains
part of their care.
Highland's surgical care includes inhalant anesthesia and patient monitoring. The veterinary team attends to the patient through the procedure and recovery, following the plan for their clinical needs.
Pain management
supports a comfortable recovery.
Comfort is planned before and after surgery. We discuss pain management and the home-care instructions specific to your pet, including how to contact us about a concern during recovery.
Surgical services at Highland
Discuss spay and neuter procedures, selected soft-tissue surgery, and selected orthopedic care with our team. Suitability and availability depend on the patient and the procedure; referral may be recommended.
Comfort beyond the smile
Dental care supports
your pet's daily comfort.
For dogs & cats.
For everyday well-being.
Oral health belongs in whole-pet care. Highland's dental approach connects examination, professional cleaning, recommended treatment, and practical guidance for the routine you share at home.
Small changes.
Important conversations.
An oral assessment
sets the starting point.
An examination comes before a dental procedure. Tell us about changes in eating, chewing, breath, or sensitivity around the mouth, even when those changes seem small. They help us understand your pet's experience.
Dental cleaning reaches
beyond the visible tooth.
Dental care includes scaling and polishing, with attention above and below the gum line. Dental procedures are performed under anesthesia, with a plan based on your pet's health and the work recommended.
Treatment and home care
work together.
Findings may lead to recommendations for further treatment or extractions. We explain the options, discuss after-care and a workable home routine, and help you understand how to follow through.
Noticing a change?
Let us know about mouth discomfort, changes in chewing, or persistent bad breath. An examination can help determine which attention is appropriate.

Care continues after the procedure
Recovery care
connects clinic and home.
The plan does not end at discharge. We explain the next steps for your individual pet so you know what to follow, what to watch, and when to get back in touch.

Follow-up care

Diagnostic testingWill my pet need every type of diagnostic test?
No. Your veterinarian recommends testing based on the examination, health history, and clinical question. We explain how a recommended test may help inform your pet's care.

Assessment and recommended screening help guide an individual plan. Ask us about the procedure, risks, monitoring, and pain management so you understand what is being recommended.
Visit preparationShould my pet eat before a procedure?

If you are uncertain or the instructions were not followed, call before the visit. Do not rely on a general online fasting schedule.

Care & costCan I discuss the care plan and cost beforehand?
Yes. Bring questions about the recommended care, alternatives, and costs to the conversation. We want you to understand the plan and can discuss the payment information available through the clinic.
