Welcome to our website

Forest Trails Animal Hospital was established in 1983 by Dr. Paul Welch on the NW corner of 101st Street and South Sheridan. After ten years, the practice had outgrown its previous site and was moved across the street to the current facility in the Village South Shopping Center. What started out as a small one doctor practice has now grown to a larger and more efficient five doctor practice.

Forest Trails Animal Hospital is a small animal hospital located in south Tulsa which treats not only dogs and cats, but also birds, reptiles, snakes, pocket pets such as guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils and exotic animals such as ferrets, rabbits, rodents, hedgehogs, sugar gliders to coatimundis. It is our goal to provide the best medical treatment for your pet as well as the most knowledgeable and compassionate advice when dealing with your pet's medical situation. As with our own health, the goal is to avoid problems, but when they arise, to deal with them as gently and efficiently as possible.

Vaccinate for Kennel Cough twice a year or not??
Most of the boarding kennels and groomers in the Tulsa area require that dogs using their facilities be vaccinated for “Kennel Cough”. Kennel Cough is actually a combination of Bordetella bronchiseptica bacteria, Parainfluenza virus, and Canine Adenovirus-2 organisms. The goal of vaccination is not to totally eliminate the risk, but rather to decrease the severity.

Heartworm Prevention and Testing Update
When the Companion Animal Parastie Council met earlier last year, they updated their recommendations based on some new developments from this past year. There have been some dogs that have tested positive for heartworms even though they had been given preventative on a monthly basis. As a result veterinarians and pharmaceutical companies are working together to discover what may be going on.

Welcome BACK!!! Dr. Kerry J. Jones
We are happy to welcome back Dr. Kerry Jones. Dr. Jones joined Dr. Welch at Forest Trails in 1990 while still at our previous location across the street (where Subway is now located). In 2004, she left practice to go on the mission field in Guatamala. She returned to Tulsa in 2007 and has been taking care of ailing parents until this year when she was able to return to practice. We are ecstatic to have her back.
