"Our mission is to improve and maintain pet health and foster the human-pet bond. We are advocates for the pets' needs and provide client education and services to ensure the best care possible for our patients."

The Columbia Animal Hospital opened in 1968 and for the past forty years we've been providing the best possible care for our patients and service to our clients. Dr. Flaum joined the practice in 1993 and purchased the hospital in 2001. Today, he is the sole veterinarian, along with a team of client care specialists, nurse care specialists, kennel assistants, and operational assistants.

Your pet can receive routine wellness care, dental care, laboratory and radiology services, and medical and surgical treatment at our facility. Modern equipment and a highly trained staff enable us to provide care quickly and efficiently.

Diet counseling is a growing necessity for many of our pets. Our Fit for Life program is our way of helping your pet lose weight and enjoy a longer, more active lifestyle. Combining education, diet and exercise, and medication when necessary, we customize a plan for your pet to achieve his or her weight loss goals.

Our hours are 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM Mondays through Wednesdays, 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM Thursdays and Fridays, and 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM on Saturdays for boarding and prescription pickups and drop-offs.
