The U.S. Army is the Department of Defense's Executive Agent for Veterinary Service and provides animal care, food safety and defense, and research and development for all branches of the military. The Veterinary Corps operates four veterinary medical facilities on Oahu that provide services for pets owned by qualified patrons (DEERS enrollment).
All pets are seen by appointment. Appointment times vary depending on the facility, but most sites offer appointments Monday through Friday, with occasional evening and weekend appointments offered.
Services offered included routine sick-call appointments and well-patient exams with a focus on prevention-medicine and wellness services such as vaccination, fecal testing, heartworm and infectious disease screening, health certificates and microchipping. Most facilities offer laboratory testing and radiology services. Facilities offer routine surgical (spay, neuter, mass removal) and dental services on a space-available basis.
All services and products are associated with a fee to the pet owner that is due at the time services are provided. Fees are generally significantly lower than those charged by civilian veterinary practices.
All pet owners are strongly encouraged to establish civilian veterinary care due to the limited extent of Army veterinary services provided, including no emergency services.
