Other Pet Care Services
Crossroads Animal Hospital is here as your comprehensive resource for walk-in veterinary care—all under one roof. As a full-service animal hospital serving dogs and cats in Crown Point, Schererville, and throughout Northwest Indiana, our team offers a wide range of supportive services designed to meet all of your pet’s needs.
Complete Care from Day One through Their Golden Years
From the moment you bring home a new puppy or kitten to the quieter, more careful years of senior pet ownership, your pet’s needs evolve—and so does our care. The team at Crossroads Animal Hospital is here to provide the guidance, treatment, and support that keep your pet healthy, comfortable, and thriving no matter what chapter they’re in.
Our Additional Services
Puppy & Kitten Care
The first months of a pet’s life are some of the most important. Our team provides dedicated puppy and kitten care that sets your new companion up for a lifetime of good health—including early wellness exams, age-appropriate vaccinations, parasite prevention, nutritional guidance, behavioral counseling, and recommendations for spay or neuter surgeries. We love meeting new patients, and we’re here to answer every question a new pet parent has along the way.
Senior Pet Care
As pets age, their healthcare needs become more nuanced. Senior dogs and cats are more susceptible to conditions like arthritis, kidney disease, dental disease, diabetes, and cancer—many of which are highly manageable when caught early. Our senior pet care services include more thorough wellness evaluations, targeted laboratory screening, pain management, and thoughtful conversations about quality of life as your pet enters their later years. We approach senior care with the same warmth and attentiveness we’d want for our own aging companions.
Microchipping
A microchip is one of the simplest, most effective things you can do to protect your pet. Dog and cat microchipping at Crossroads Animal Hospital is a quick, low-stress procedure—no more uncomfortable than a routine vaccination. Each chip contains a unique ID number linked to your contact information in a national registry, giving lost pets a reliable path home even if their collar or tags are lost.
Behavior Medicine
Behavioral changes in pets can sometimes signal an underlying medical issue—and even when they don’t, they can significantly affect your pet’s quality of life and your relationship with them. Our team can help evaluate behavioral concerns, discuss potential causes, and recommend appropriate interventions, whether that involves medical management, environmental adjustments, or a referral to a veterinary behaviorist when needed.
Nutrition Counseling
What your pet eats has a direct impact on how they feel, how they age, and how well they recover from illness or injury. Our veterinarians provide personalized nutrition counseling to help you make informed decisions about your pet’s diet—whether you’re navigating a new puppy’s growth needs, managing a chronic condition, addressing weight concerns, or simply looking for guidance on what to feed a healthy adult pet. We also carry prescription diets for pets with specific medical needs that require targeted nutritional support.
Pain Management
Recognizing and managing pain in pets requires a trained eye and a compassionate approach. Animals are skilled at masking discomfort, which means pain can go unnoticed longer than it should. Our team is experienced in identifying signs of acute and chronic pain and developing management plans tailored to each patient—whether that involves post-surgical recovery, arthritis management, or palliative care for a pet with a serious diagnosis. Your pet’s comfort is always a priority.
One Team, Every Stage of Life
Whatever your pet needs—today, next year, or a decade from now—the team at Crossroads Animal Hospital is here for it. Our commitment to full-service, compassionate veterinary care means you’ll always have a knowledgeable, caring team in your corner. Families across the greater Crown Point area trust us to be their partner in pet health, and we take that trust seriously every single day.
