Our Facility

Onalaska Animal Hospital is a 5,000-square-foot facility that reflects Dr. Nicole's Fear Free approach. Designed to her specifications to maximize comfort and healing for pets and their owners, the hospital features distinct waiting rooms, exam rooms and hospital wards to separate dogs and cats, along with background music and scents/pheromones intended to calm pets. Additionally, the HVAC system is zoned to mitigate sounds such as barking, keep odors in the source room or move them toward the rear until cleaning occurs.

The animal hospital also features a comfort room, a private, tranquil, living-room-like space where pet owners can spend quality time with their pet while dealing with heart-wrenching situations. The comfort room will also be used for those painful goodbyes with lowered lighting and sensory elements — sight, sound, smell, touch — that foster a sense of calm and peace.
