Calm, compassionate medicine tailored to your pet.
A thoughtful approach to keeping pets healthy and comfortable.
At Bayou Paws Veterinary Hospital, every visit is rooted in compassion, connection, and calm care. We take the time to understand your pet and your goals, and to create a plan that supports lifelong health and peace of mind.
From preventive care to advanced treatment, our goal is simple: to help pets thrive and families feel reassured every step of the way.
Supporting your pet’s health at every stage of life.
Regular checkups are the foundation of lifelong health. Our wellness visits are designed to keep your pet feeling their best through personalized preventive care, vaccinations, and early detection. Through comprehensive exams and recommended health screenings—including blood pressure checks, bloodwork, and screening ultrasounds—we build a complete picture of your pet’s health and wellbeing.
From digital imaging and lab testing to ultrasound and beyond, our advanced diagnostic tools help us see what your pet can’t tell us. We take the time to explain every result clearly, giving you reassurance and trust that nothing is overlooked.
Our diagnostic offerings include FAST Vet ultrasound screening, a quick, non-invasive way to evaluate the abdomen, heart, and lungs as part of both preventive and diagnostic care.
Healthy teeth and gums are essential to your pet’s comfort and overall health. Regular visits every 6–12 months allow us to monitor your pet’s oral health, identify concerns early, and determine when dental treatment may be needed. From professional dental cleanings and digital dental radiographs to tooth extractions, we provide comprehensive dental care to help keep your pet healthy and pain-free.
Because we know anesthesia is often a source of concern for pet owners, we take an individualized approach to every patient, using tailored anesthetic protocols, advanced monitoring, IV support, and comprehensive safety measures to help ensure the safest possible experience. You can relax knowing your pet’s care is handled with precision and compassion.
Whether your pet needs a routine procedure or a more advanced surgery, their safety, comfort, and recovery are always our top priorities. Dr. Jo performs a wide range of soft-tissue procedures, including spays and neuters, mass removals, gastrointestinal foreign body surgery, airway procedures for brachycephalic pets, bladder stone removal, and wound repair. We combine individualized anesthesia protocols, comprehensive pain management, and advanced patient monitoring with meticulous surgical technique to provide the highest standard of care. Dr. Jo approaches every procedure with precision, compassion, and careful attention to detail—before, during, and after surgery—so you can feel confident your pet is in capable hands.
A cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming. Knowing you have an experienced, caring team beside you can help. We offer compassionate, evidence-based cancer care, including chemotherapy and supportive treatments tailored to your pet’s needs. With specialized safety equipment, including a USP 800-certified chemotherapy hood, our hospital is equipped to provide chemotherapy treatments to the highest standard of care while supporting your pet’s comfort and quality of life.
Healing is about more than medication. By carefully identifying the source of pain and combining traditional pain management with complementary therapies such as acupuncture, we can help pets achieve a greater level of comfort, mobility, and quality of life. Dr. Jo’s training in acupuncture and integrative pain management allows us to create personalized treatment plans that support both physical and emotional wellbeing.
