The exam continues with a thorough physical assessment, which includes joint mobility tests and an evaluation of the animal’s teeth, skin, and posture.

Fecal examinations and nutritional consultations are also available, together with pain management plans. Visit pacing from spring allergy seasons, summer parasite infestations, and arthritis evaluations in colder months speaks to local climate conditions.

Other features include an optional digital check-in, where owners can track the pet’s healing progress at home. Pet owners with multiple or senior animals can ask for telehealth adaptive scheduling and behavior-linked recheck frameworks to keep everything manageable.

We cannot speak more highly of the veterinarian and support staff here. We've worked with Dr. Carpenter and Dr. Ballard and both provided compassionate and thorough care. They demonstrate a genuine passion for their given field, and an uncommon professionalism in the quality of their care. They take their fear-free accreditations seriously, always going the extra mile to ensure that it's not a traumatizing experience for even the most extreme of cases. From the calming pheremones, to the relaxing music, to the constant stream of positive association with yummy treats- this office truly has your pet's comfort as their top priority. The facility itself is immaculately clean, and well mapped out with multiple entry/exit points (should your pet require interaction avoidance with other pets/patrons in the facility). The depth of their medical knowledge surpasses any other vet we've seen by an immeasurable amount. I simply cannot stress enough how wonderful this facility truly is!

I have never had a vet devote as much time and explain completely and thoroughly and with a laypersons understanding, however not condescending as Dr. Ballerd did on our first visit. Our experience with other veterinary professionals has been that we felt as though we were being hurried out and that we left without all our concerns being addressed, coupled with a large bill. In short, Dr. Ballard was a breath of fresh air and a welcome change to our 30 years previous experience in dealing with various vets. I would highly recommend Dr. Ballard and his entire practice to any pet owner.

Dr. Ballard is very kind, patient, and knowledgeable. He takes his time answering my (sometimes many) questions. It's obvious to me he chose his profession because of his compassion for animals, which is quite important to me.

I had my first appointment at Cheshire Crossing this morning with my cat, Amelia, and was so impressed by everyone there. The facility is welcoming and very clean, and we were greeted warmly when we arrived. Gina was our technician and she was courteous and thorough, addressing my concerns while showing Amelia some TLC. Finally, Dr. Carpenter examined Amelia, but not before offering her treats, petting her gently and speaking to her soothingly. The appointment ended with a clear explanation of a treatment plan and my every question answered. I will definitely return--Cheshire Crossing is a great mix of a relaxed, friendly atmosphere and efficient, reassuring professionalism.

I had an appointment and took my dog there for allergies. I was seen quickly and the vet gave me plenty of things for my dog to feel better and he is 90% better already. She also gave him cheese and some meat treats to help him calm down as he was so nervous. She said to bring him back two or three more times just to let him eat treats and get accustomed to the office for awhile so, hopefully, his next visit isn't as stressful. Not the cheapest place in town but convenient and caring staff.

I can't express enough gratitude about the great experiences and even a devastating one that I have had with Dr. Ballard and his staff. Every time I have had to take one of my fur babies there, we were treated with kindness and respect. Everything was explained so we understood, and what treatment was needed if any. The entire staff was extremely caring and sympathetic when I had to make a devastating choice to let my long time friend and companion of 10 1/2 years cross the Rainbow Bridge. They allowed me as much time with her that I wanted or needed even though they were closing for the day. A few days later I received a sympathy card in the mail and was signed by each and everyone of the staff ( that shows me that they care and love each and everyone of there clients and there families ).
I also am super excited with the fact that Dr. Ballard treats PitBulls because I currently have two and so many vets will not take PitBulls. He is always thorough and gentle when greeting and handling my fur babies. I will recommend Dr. Ballard and his staff to anyone and I will continue to take my fur babies to his clinic.

Dr. Ballard is pleasant, polite, and a professional veterinarian. Definitely a pleasure to visit. He is truly a compassionate and caring vet that loves all animals and takes the time to answer your questions and concerns. So, make sure to tell him as much information about your pet as you possibly can because he truly listens! I have been taking my 4 Yorkies to Cheshire Animal Hospital since we moved here almost six years ago. There is absolutely no doubt I will refer this small animal hospital to any pet owner I know. It sure is a wonderful feeling to have such a professional, trusting staff take care of my babies! I would never go anywhere else for animal care and have recommended them to several friends who were looking for a vet in the Lewis Center area. I am not the type of person to ever write reviews, however I stand by Cheshire Animal Hospital. We couldn€t be more pleased!!! They go above and beyond with everything!! Words cannot express the tremendous gratitude, support, and gratefulness that the entire animal hospital has provided to us. We thank God for your generosity and the loving care you provide to our animals. We know we have many years ahead of us, working together! Thanks for all you do and keep up the great work- it is very much appreciated!

It's been a long time coming trying to find a good vet. I've been a dog owner for nearly eight years (count 'em in dog years... that's a while!) Over this time I've had probably five vets. Each one has never made me feel comfortable; each one has always tried to "sell" me something; and neither of them has actually taken more than two minutes to EXPLAIN what is going on with my dog and why he/she thinks XYZ symptom is happening... until Cheshire.My dog has had a skin problems since the day I adopted him from the shelter and I can't even tell you how many "treatments" we've been through over the years.This year when it got to the worst it's ever been, I headed to Cheshire on the recommendation from a friend who assured me this was THE place to go.We got to see the doctor THE DAY of my call for an appointment and were able to see Dr. Ballard immediately. Dr. Ballard was unlike any other vet I've ever been to:- He took more than 2 minutes to explain what his thoughts were about my dog's symptoms and his plan of treatment- They outlined a treatment plan and recommended priority treatments so I could plan a payment/budget- The staff was incredibly patient and offered to answer and welcomed ANY questions I could've imagined (via phone, email, smoke signal, whatever!)- I can't stress enough how memorable and incredible it was that he actually took the time (nearly 30 minutes actually) to EXPLAIN my dog's condition and his planned course of diagnosis and treatmentThe good news is after eight years I finally know my dog is allergic to... everything... and we're opted for a treatment (shots) that's anticipated to cure his crazy allergic reactions.While I don't see the necessity to charge patients (owners) a $29 fee to show how to give an allergy shot, consultation prices are pretty standard, but the one-on-one vet attention at this practice is unparalleled. I'm so happy, and relieved, I finally have found a vet I trust who isn't only trying to sell me something or get past me to move on to the next money-making pet. I have total confidence in the care Cheshire is providing for my dog and I'm happy to travel all the way to Delaware to receive it.

They take their fear-free accreditations seriously, always going the extra mile to ensure that it's not a traumatizing experience for even the most extreme of cases. From the calming pheremones, to the relaxing music, to the constant stream of positive association with yummy treats- this office truly has your pet's comfort as their top priority. The facility itself is immaculately clean, and well mapped out with multiple entry/exit points (should your pet require interaction avoidance with other pets/patrons in the facility). The depth of their medical knowledge surpasses any other vet we've seen by an immeasurable amount. I simply cannot stress enough how wonderful this facility truly is!

I have never had a vet devote as much time and explain completely and thoroughly and with a laypersons understanding, however not condescending as Dr. Ballerd did on our first visit. Our experience with other veterinary professionals has been that we felt as though we were being hurried out and that we left without all our concerns being addressed, coupled with a large bill. In short, Dr. Ballard was a breath of fresh air and a welcome change to our 30 years previous experience in dealing with various vets. I would highly recommend Dr. Ballard and his entire practice to any pet owner.

Best vet you can go to. You can tell they love animals and really care for your pet. Dr. Ballard does a great job of explaining what you can expect from your pet as it ages and when there's a condition to treat. Been taking our pets there since they opened and would not go anywhere else.

If you are looking for a vet who gives you detailed , accurate and thorough explanations and information then this is the best animal hospital to go to in Central Ohio . Compassionate care is also given each and every visit! The entire staff is consistent with philosophy behind the practice Dr Ballard and Dr. Carpenter ! It's worth the drive to Cheshire in Delaware ! I live in Columbus and cannot think of any other practice with their quality !

I have brought every single one of my dogs here, I absolutely love them! They are very personal with each client and make you and your pet comfortable and cared for. They get straight to the point and don't try to squeeze any unnecessary money out of you which is AMAZING. I couldn't imagine going anywhere else.

I appreciate that Dr. Ballard explains what he's doing as he's examining my cats. I always learn something new and it's reassuring to know he's doing a thorough exam.
Dr. Ballard is very kind, patient, and knowledgeable. He takes his time answering my (sometimes many) questions. It's obvious to me he chose his profession because of his compassion for animals, which is quite important to me.

I had my first appointment at Cheshire Crossing this morning with my cat, Amelia, and was so impressed by everyone there. The facility is welcoming and very clean, and we were greeted warmly when we arrived. Gina was our technician and she was courteous and thorough, addressing my concerns while showing Amelia some TLC. Finally, Dr. Carpenter examined Amelia, but not before offering her treats, petting her gently and speaking to her soothingly. The appointment ended with a clear explanation of a treatment plan and my every question answered. I will definitely return--Cheshire Crossing is a great mix of a relaxed, friendly atmosphere and efficient, reassuring professionalism.

Everyone here is amazing. My wife and i had put down our 15 year black lab here. It was the worst way to have to come in to see a vet. But they made us and most importantly our beloved family member Buster as comfortable as possible. We will forever be grateful to them for their help, knowledge, and compassion. We will be life long customers and recommend them to everyone. Thank you to everyone at Cheshire Crossing Animal Hospital!

I had an appointment and took my dog there for allergies. I was seen quickly and the vet gave me plenty of things for my dog to feel better and he is 90% better already. She also gave him cheese and some meat treats to help him calm down as he was so nervous. She said to bring him back two or three more times just to let him eat treats and get accustomed to the office for awhile so, hopefully, his next visit isn't as stressful. Not the cheapest place in town but convenient and caring staff.

I can't express enough gratitude about the great experiences and even a devastating one that I have had with Dr. Ballard and his staff. Every time I have had to take one of my fur babies there, we were treated with kindness and respect. Everything was explained so we understood, and what treatment was needed if any. The entire staff was extremely caring and sympathetic when I had to make a devastating choice to let my long time friend and companion of 10 1/2 years cross the Rainbow Bridge. They allowed me as much time with her that I wanted or needed even though they were closing for the day. A few days later I received a sympathy card in the mail and was signed by each and everyone of the staff ( that shows me that they care and love each and everyone of there clients and there families ).
I also am super excited with the fact that Dr. Ballard treats PitBulls because I currently have two and so many vets will not take PitBulls. He is always thorough and gentle when greeting and handling my fur babies. I will recommend Dr. Ballard and his staff to anyone and I will continue to take my fur babies to his clinic.

Dr. Ballard is pleasant, polite, and a professional veterinarian. Definitely a pleasure to visit. He is truly a compassionate and caring vet that loves all animals and takes the time to answer your questions and concerns. So, make sure to tell him as much information about your pet as you possibly can because he truly listens! I have been taking my 4 Yorkies to Cheshire Animal Hospital since we moved here almost six years ago. There is absolutely no doubt I will refer this small animal hospital to any pet owner I know. It sure is a wonderful feeling to have such a professional, trusting staff take care of my babies! I would never go anywhere else for animal care and have recommended them to several friends who were looking for a vet in the Lewis Center area. I am not the type of person to ever write reviews, however I stand by Cheshire Animal Hospital. We couldn€t be more pleased!!! They go above and beyond with everything!! Words cannot express the tremendous gratitude, support, and gratefulness that the entire animal hospital has provided to us. We thank God for your generosity and the loving care you provide to our animals. We know we have many years ahead of us, working together! Thanks for all you do and keep up the great work- it is very much appreciated!

I just moved to Delaware and was looking for a vet for my puppy Annie. I heard great things about Cheshire Crossing so I decided to schedule an appointment to check them out. Every interaction I've had from my initial call to leaving Annie's appointment was an absolute joy. The staff is friendly, professional and extremely knowledgeable. Annie could not be in any better hands and I'm so glad we moved to an area that has such an outstanding veterinary team! Thank you Cheshire Crossing for welcoming Annie and I so warmly and for all the quality care you provide to our pets!

I am so happy that there is quality vet office near me! I was watching the office being built, and was so excited! I recently took my cat in for treatment. The office is clean, the front desk gals so friendly. My vet took care of my cat, answered all of my questions. She took the time to make me feel valued as a client. She lives in the neighborhood, her kids go to my kids school! I love giving my support to local business! The office followed up with me to see how my kitty was feeling! Awesome!!

It's been a long time coming trying to find a good vet. I've been a dog owner for nearly eight years (count 'em in dog years... that's a while!) Over this time I've had probably five vets. Each one has never made me feel comfortable; each one has always tried to "sell" me something; and neither of them has actually taken more than two minutes to EXPLAIN what is going on with my dog and why he/she thinks XYZ symptom is happening... until Cheshire.My dog has had a skin problems since the day I adopted him from the shelter and I can't even tell you how many "treatments" we've been through over the years.This year when it got to the worst it's ever been, I headed to Cheshire on the recommendation from a friend who assured me this was THE place to go.We got to see the doctor THE DAY of my call for an appointment and were able to see Dr. Ballard immediately. Dr. Ballard was unlike any other vet I've ever been to:- He took more than 2 minutes to explain what his thoughts were about my dog's symptoms and his plan of treatment- They outlined a treatment plan and recommended priority treatments so I could plan a payment/budget- The staff was incredibly patient and offered to answer and welcomed ANY questions I could've imagined (via phone, email, smoke signal, whatever!)- I can't stress enough how memorable and incredible it was that he actually took the time (nearly 30 minutes actually) to EXPLAIN my dog's condition and his planned course of diagnosis and treatmentThe good news is after eight years I finally know my dog is allergic to... everything... and we're opted for a treatment (shots) that's anticipated to cure his crazy allergic reactions.While I don't see the necessity to charge patients (owners) a $29 fee to show how to give an allergy shot, consultation prices are pretty standard, but the one-on-one vet attention at this practice is unparalleled. I'm so happy, and relieved, I finally have found a vet I trust who isn't only trying to sell me something or get past me to move on to the next money-making pet. I have total confidence in the care Cheshire is providing for my dog and I'm happy to travel all the way to Delaware to receive it.
