Welcome to Lion Animal Hospital!

Lion Animal Hospital's mascot

At Lion Animal Hospital we not only offer the best medical advice and treatment, we also want to help you and your family have even more fun with your pet.

Just as with people, every pet is unique. We believe that by taking the time to understand and make a connection with your pet, we can better diagnose any problems. This lets us treat the cause of the problem, rather than just the symptoms.

In addition to illnesses, you may experience small problems with your pet, or see unusual behavior. We want to provide first-class advice on all aspects of caring for your pet, so you can enjoy spending time with your pet even more than you do now.

Please come and talk with us, in Japanese or English!

Introduction
I’m from Hyōgo Prefecture. After graduating from the Veterinary Medicine Department (Japanese) of Tottori University, I began working at the Central Animal Hospital (Japanese). With their support I went to the Colorado University College of Veterinary Medicine in the USA for further training. I speak English fluently—just ask for me at reception.
