Whether adapting treatment plans or providing customized recommendations, we are dedicated to fostering strong bonds and delivering exceptional service that reflects our commitment to your pet's health and happiness.

Client Education & Empowerment

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. Whether it's explaining diagnoses, discussing treatment options, or outlining expected outcomes, we prioritize clear and open communication to strengthen the bond between our clinic and the pet owners we serve.

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.

Environmental Consciousness

Recognizing that the health of animals is inextricably linked to human health and the health of our shared environment called planet Earth, we demonstrate a commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship in our clinic operations. We have implemented eco-friendly practices such as recycling consumables and manage our resources to minimize waste however possible. 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.

Continuous Improvement

Continuous professional development and career growth are encouraged and facilitated for each employee, regardless of their job title or background. Several of our employees are also part-time students with special interests in various areas of the industry. We believe that learning should never stop and provide support to all our staff to ensure they remain current on industry standards, practice, and advancements.

Team Synergy & Wellbeing

We value each employee’s contribution to the team. Each employee’s mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing is prioritized to ensure optimal performance and job satisfaction. We celebrate milestones and support one another through personal struggles, as well as on our professional journeys to advance the field of veterinary medicine.
