Rooted in rigorous science. Driven by empathy.

Located in the heart of Bend, Oregon, Oak & Alder was founded to bridge the gap between advanced medical technology and compassionate animal handling. Serving clients since 2018, our facility was purpose-built to minimize patient stress while maximizing clinical outcomes.

Our operational protocols are uncompromising. For instance, in our orthopedic suite, we exclusively utilize the Synthes® TPLO plate system combined with real-time intraoperative fluoroscopy. This ensures pinpoint precision during tibial plateau leveling osteotomies, drastically reducing recovery times and complication rates compared to traditional blind-angle approaches.

> Fear Free Certified® low-stress handling protocols.
> Board-certified surgical specialists on staff.
> 24/7 post-operative monitoring for critical cases.

* Recovery timelines vary based on patient age, body condition score, and adherence to prescribed physical therapy regimens.

Client Perspectives

"When my Lab tore his ACL on the Deschutes River trail, I was devastated. Dr. Hayes explained the TPLO and fluoroscopy process perfectly. The precision of their work meant Buster was walking the next day."

Mark T. Canine TPLO

"The post-op care was incredible. They called me twice a day with updates while she was hospitalized. You can tell this isn't just a job for them; it's a calling."
