Knowledge is power! Based on this truth, we strive to empower pet owners with knowledge and resources to better care for their animals. Via our social media channels, website, in-person consultations, telecommunication, and email, we provide informational materials and offer personalized guidance on topics specific to our patients and their healthcare journeys.
Transparent Communication
We foster trust and transparency by keeping our clients informed and updated throughout each stage of their pet’s wellness journey. We provide treatment plans and estimates to allow clients to make informed decisions about their pet's care. Utilizing a range of communication options and tools, our team is readily available to address any questions or concerns, ensuring that clients feel empowered and confident in the decisions they make for their beloved companions.

Emphasis on Preventive Care
At Cayman Animal Hospital, we believe prevention is key to your pet's long-term health and happiness. We prioritize preventive medicine and empower pet owners to take a proactive role in their pet’s wellbeing. Regular check-ups and comprehensive annual exams help detect potential health concerns early, allowing for timely treatment. By promoting vaccinations, parasite prevention, and dental care, we aim to minimize disease risk and keep your pet healthy. Our subscription wellness plans, launching in summer 2024, have been designed to make comprehensive preventive care more accessible and affordable. These plans provide tailored care based on your pet's species, age, and life stage, including wellness exams, vaccinations, parasite control, and nutritional counseling.

Our clinic functions out of a repurposed traditional Caymanian home, and we have conserved the green space around us, embracing the presence of local fruit trees which provide shade and food throughout the year. Where feasible, we support initiatives that benefit animal and environmental conservation and partner with relevant local entities who share a common ethos.
