Ask The Veterinary

Established in a small shopping center in 1977 as a one doctor office, CORAL SPRINGS ANIMAL HOSPITAL has experienced dramatic growth, outgrowing three buildings before moving into its new state of the art 40,000 square foot hospital in November 2008. It has grown to become one of the largest, highly respected, and most sophisticated animal hospitals in the United States.

It is only by consistently meeting or exceeding the varying needs and desires of the large majority of the pet owning public that we have been able to achieve this explosive growth. We have earned a reputation for ethical and professional state of the art veterinary care, friendly and responsive customer service, and fair professional fees (in writing, in advance).

CORAL SPRINGS ANIMAL HOSPITAL is a general primary care practice, a specialty practice with board certified veterinary specialists, and a emergency/critical care hospital open and staffed 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.

Our emergency/critical care department is equivalent to an emergency department in a human hospital. Since we are staffed 24/7, there is no need to wait for a call back from our Doctors in an emergency as well as no delays in providing emergency surgical procedures, diagnostic testing and obtaining results.

In addition to serving pet owners, CORAL SPRINGS ANIMAL HOSPITAL regularly receives case referrals from over 600 local veterinarians in the tri-county area, and from veterinarians as far away as Jacksonville, Key West and Naples.

CORAL SPRINGS ANIMAL HOSPITAL is the exclusive provider for the Broward Sheriffs Canine Bomb Squad, the Broward Sheriffs Office Animal Neglect and Abuse Division, and a major provider of services to Victims of Domestic Violence (DV Care) and other Broward County City Police Departments.

Pig Production is the first part of a vital new series of educational resources for agriculture, veterinary and animal science courses.

Future resources will cover other species and farming practices such as broiler chickens (chickens bred for meat).

The resources are based on a combination of animal welfare scienceand the practical experience of farmers. For each species this will include a fully-referenced book incorporating case studies exemplifying good practice.

GAP will be a valuable tool for lecturers, educationalists, vets,farmers, students of agricultural and veterinary science and for all who make decisions which affect the welfare of farm animals.

Good Agricultural Practice is a concept evolved by the Food andAgriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO). Good agricultural practices:

produce safe, healthy, high quality food for consumers

provide jobs with fair incomes for rural communities

are socially and environmentally sustainable

provide high standards of animal welfare.

The aim of Good Agricultural Practice should be to achieve development that is both humane and sustainable.
