Little Chiquinha (pictured here with tech Michaela) was the bravest girl for her dental!

10/07/2022

Um, Barley, I think you've got a little something there on your nose! 😉

10/05/2022

Bruno got some extra attention and cuddles with vet techs Joanna and Michaela when he was in for his recent neuter.

10/03/2022

10/01/2022

Vito was very happy to see Dr. Detelich and gave many sweet kisses!

09/30/2022

Luna has perfected the art of napping while surrounded by the busy activity of the hospital. It's kind of hard not to climb in there with her for an afternoon nap.

08/15/2022

We are currently experiencing difficulties with our phones. We hope to be back to normal as soon as possible.

08/12/2022

This adorable pup is Willow, shown here with our Tech Assistant, Caryl. She dressed in her "Sunday best" for her visit to Wignall.

08/11/2022

Oftentimes an itch is just an itch, but for many pets, itching is caused by a deeper issue that requires treatment. Book an appointment today so we can investigate the cause and bring your pet the relief they’ve been scratching for: http://ow.ly/OWjN50Ki2re.

08/05/2022

Look at this precious feline, Chowder, sitting pretty on the cat shelves. Isn't he beautiful! Most kitties enjoy being up above the chaos and being able to observe so we have been trying out "cat shelves" in one of our exam rooms and they sure seem to be a hit with our feline patients. The shelves allow the cat to feel safe and often can be examined while on the shelves instead of having to come down to the exam table.

08/03/2022

Meet Penny, the mini dachsund puppy! She was just perfect for her recent visit and enjoyed some cuddles with Tech Assistant Michaela.

08/01/2022

Felix and Felicia visited us this weekend and approved of the cat shelves and enjoyed catnip and cookies! These sweeties were just purrrrfect for their visit with Dr. Thomas.

05/27/2022

Cameron joined us recently for a visit and enjoyed some snuggles with Mackenzie. Such a sweet pup!

05/10/2022

It's hard for a pet to truly thrive when they're infested with parasites. From constant itching caused by fleas to Lyme Disease passed on by ticks, you can help keep your pet healthy and comfortable by protecting them with parasite preventatives.

Being proactive and ensuring your pet is protected year-round is not only an investment in your pet's health and wellbeing but could also save you potential wallet-worries down the road. Did you know that treatment for heartworms can be over 30X the cost of annual prevention?

Remember to take advantage of our current savings and help keep your pet parasite-free!

🐾 Bailey got a little nervous at her annual visit today, so one of our vet tech assistants brought her into a quiet room and played "treat catch" with her to help her relax while she waited for Dr. Harvey! What a sweet pup! 💓

Behind the scenes at Wignall Animal Hospital 🐾

Some things never change....like the special care we give each patient, the passion of our team .....and the amount of cheese, peanut butter, and catnip we go through to make each visit pleasant for your pet! Here’s a little behind the scenes glimpse from our week.

Nessie giving kisses to one of her favorites!

We love having Nessie visiting us today!! She looked so good and she’s full of spunk. 🥰

Happy National Dog day from Charlie and Hazel at Camp Wignall, where every day is dog day!! ❤️

How many ticks have you found this spring so far? Maybe a better question is how many have you missed? How would you ever find this on a dog once it got into the fur? Or on a black dog! I found this tiny tick on my light colored, short haired dog by chance. We weren’t deep in the woods or in tall grass. I just got lucky finding this tiny thing as it crawled up her leg. 🤮 Are your pets protected?

More behind the scenes dental fun with Dunner!

Wonder what happens during dental procedures - watch our video!

Our clients are clearly enjoying National Cookie day, we are loving watching them enjoy every last bite :)

Congratulations again to Dracut Economic Development's February Business of the Month, Wignall Animal Hospital, which has been providing excellent pet care to Dracut and surrounding communities for more than four decades. You won't have to scramble to find out the identity of the March Business of the Month; just click on www.dracutma.gov/economic-development starting Tuesday, March 1.

If you didn't get a chance to read about Wignall on the Dracut Economic Development webpage, below is the writeup.

WIGNALL ANIMAL HOSPITAL IS DRACUT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT'S FEBRUARY BUSINESS OF THE MONTH

Everyone knows pets are just four-legged family members. A pet can be a faithful companion, a trusted confidant, a snuggly comforter.

And like any other family member, pets need to be properly cared for.

Folks have been entrusting care of their pets to Wignall Animal Hospital in Dracut for more than four decades, and during that time, Wignall has earned a reputation of excellence when it comes to providing veterinary care.

February is Spay/Neuter Awareness Month, Pet Dental Health Month, Responsible Pet Owners Month, Dog Training Education Month and Cat Health Month. So it’s only appropriate that Wignall is Dracut Economic Development’s Business of the Month.

In addition to well visits and checkups, Wignall offers spay and neutering, dental care, orthopedic surgery, ultrasound, full-service boarding, day care and laser therapy.

The hospital’s five care themes are: preventive medicine, dental health, senior pet health, weight management and client education.
Wignall, at 1837 Bridge Street, has five exam rooms and is adding two more, as well as reflooring the existing rooms.

Wignall started out as a small veterinary practice out of a home. In 2000, the current facility was built on the same site. Today, there is also a day-care and boarding facility, Camp Wignall, which is a perfect place for dogs (and maybe even a cat or two) to spend the day while Mom and Dad are working.

“We have two fenced-in areas out back for playtime,” says Amy Hale, the practice manager. “Playtime is very important for animals while they’re boarding.”

Wignall is accredited by the American Animal Hospital Association. It recently added three veterinarians, bringing the total to eight, who rotate between Wignall and its sister practice, Belvidere Veterinary Hospital, in Lowell.

Dr. Kate Thomas, Wignall’s medical director and a Dracut resident, said the hospital makes sure its staff is up to speed on the very latest veterinary procedures.

“There’s no old-school medicine here,” she says.

The hospital is open Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., and is available for emergencies, though the staff may opt to send severe cases to nearby hospitals, including Massachusetts Veterinary Referral Hospital in Woburn and Rockingham Emergency Veterinary Hospital in Windham, N.H.

“Usually, we can handle emergencies,” Amy says, “but if there is a true trauma or a pet that needs surgery and overnight care, we’ll triage them here then transport them. We’re very lucky to be in an area where there are plenty of emergency-care facilities.”

Part of Wignall’s appeal is that those who work there tend to stay, which, in turn, makes its patients (and their owners) more comfortable.

“Everyone on the leadership team started here at an entry level, making it a great place for staff to work,” says Amy, who is in her 13th year with Wignall.

Kate has been with Wignall since she graduated from Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine in 2006. As the medical director, she oversees the care provided by all of the veterinarians on staff.

“I came here straight out of college and never left because I love it,” she says. “It’s an awesome place to work. I was really lucky to land here.”

Your pets will be lucky to land at Wignall, too. And if you leave your pets at Camp Wignall for the day, rest assured they will receive all the creature comforts of home.

“We strive to be low-stress,” Amy says. “There are a lot of treats, catnip and positive reinforcement.”

My dog, Mabel is a 17 year old Shih-tzu. Her vet is Dr. DeMarco who takes excellent care of her, listens to my stories of her issues and makes specific recommendations for her. When there is an issue with her, Dr. DeMarco will follow up the next day to be sure she is doing well. She was seen yesterday for an unexpected issue and this morning I received a call checking on her. I'm very impressed that the staff and Doctors take great care of animals in their care. I would recommend Wignall to anyone with a pet. Special Thank you to Dr. DeMarco

Wignall Animal Hospital is the Dracut Economic Development Business of the Month for February. Check out the slide show and read all about Wignall and all that the folks there provide for your pets' needs at www.dracutma.gov/economic-development.

As we reflect on 2021, we wanted to share some of the faces of the animals you've helped us save this year.

Thanks to our supporters, the Animal Control Officers who use our programs, and the veterinary teams who provide the life-saving care these animals need.

You're all part of our success story!
