Scenic Hills Veterinary Hospital
Scenic Hills Veterinary Hospital was founded in January of 1980 in a double wide mobile home, which Dr. Strand converted for commercial use. Initially, the business was divided about 50/50 between pets and farm animals. The hospital grew rapidly, the mobile home was sold, the first brick structure was built and over the years three additional expansions have been added to the hospital. In 2001, we expanded our pet practice and discontinued working with farm animals.
We have nine doctors and a professional, well trained staff of more than thirty, all committed to bringing you and your pet the highest quality veterinary care. We serve patients from all over Escambia, Santa Rosa and Baldwin counties including Pensacola, Cantonment, Pace, Milton, Gulf Breeze, Molino, Seminole, and Navarre. We also see clients on vacation from other areas traveling with their pets.
The hospital has 3 client entrances, 4 areas to check in, and 4 waiting rooms. There are 7 exam rooms, 2 surgery rooms, a lab, x-ray, ultrasound, EKG, and 5 separate kennels. One kennel is for cats only, 2 kennels are for surgery patients, one general medical ward, and one isolation ward for pets with contagious diseases. A large, automatic back-up generator supplies power during power failures and hurricanes. The generator powers all equipment for normal hospital operations, including power to supply air conditioning.
At SHVH we give thoughtful consideration to all the products we use and sell to our clients. The products we use and recommend must be proven to be safe, effective and provide good value for our clients, products such as, Heartgard®, Advantage II®, Frontline Plus®, Advantix II® Adams Mist®, Program®, Comfortis®, Activyl® and Hills Pet Nutrition.
SHVH is the largest and busiest hospital in the Escambia/Santa Rosa County area. We see 150 to 200 pets a day and perform 20 to 30 surgeries a day. During business hours the hospital does not turn away emergencies. As a result, even with eight doctors on staff, the schedule is often disrupted just like a human hospital or doctor's office. The wait to be seen is almost always 30 minutes, with an hour wait being common during busy times; especially Saturdays and Mondays as those are the busiest days due to a large number of unscheduled emergencies.
