Supporting Our Community

Throughout the year, our team volunteers once a month at the Claremont Soup Kitchen, helping prepare and serve meals to members of our community after work hours. We are proud to support our neighbors in meaningful, hands-on ways.
We also maintain a year-round donation basket for the Claremont Soup Kitchen. Clients who donate 10 non-perishable food items receive a complimentary nail trim coupon as our way of saying thank you for giving back.
During the holiday season, we expand our efforts by collecting:
-
Toys for children in need
-
Gently used winter coats

Cat supplies for the Sullivan County Animal Shelter
-
Dog supplies for Lost My Way Rescue
Fear-Free Focused Care
At Claremont Animal Hospital, reducing fear, stress, and anxiety is an important part of how we practice medicine. Several members of our team, including our hospital leadership and veterinarians, are Fear Free Certified, and our entire staff is continually learning and implementing low-stress handling techniques.
We have intentionally designed our hospital to create a calmer experience for pets, including:
-
Non-slip mats on exam tables and small floor mats to prevent slipping and increase confidence
-
Multiple treat options to create positive associations and reward-based interactions
-
Dog and cat pheromone diffusers in all exam rooms
-
Towels available in every room for gentle, secure restraint
-
Fans during warmer months to provide white noise and minimize stress from unfamiliar sound
-
A private exam room with direct access from the parking lot for pets who are fearful or reactive around other animals
-
Wireless payment options so transactions can be completed in the exam room
-
Seven exam rooms to minimize lobby wait times and get pets settled more quickly
We also provide educational resources on our website to help pet parents prepare for a low-stress visit before arriving at the hospital.
Our goal is simple: to create a veterinary experience that feels safer, calmer, and more supportive for both pets and their families.
