Preventative Medicine & Wellness Exams
We are equipped with vaccines for dogs, cats, ferrets, and rabbits, along with internal and external parasite control, as well as flea and tick treatments for various species.
Routine checkups and wellness examinations are the most effective means to ensure your pet remains as healthy as possible. We would like to hear about any concerns you may have regarding your pet, any existing medical conditions they might have, and any medications or supplements you are currently administering. Additionally, we will gather information about your pet’s lifestyle, including their diet and behavior. Following this, we will conduct a thorough physical examination to complete your pet’s health profile. This assessment enables us to detect any medical issues or other factors that could adversely affect your pet’s quality of life. By regularly seeing your pet and fostering a relationship with them, we can more accurately monitor any changes in their health over time.
These routine visits also provide you with the chance to become acquainted with us. It is essential for us to ensure that we are fulfilling your expectations as your pet’s veterinary care provider! We encourage you to ask questions, as this will help you become a vital partner in your pet’s healthcare.
Radiology
Using our in-house x-ray machine, we can provide digital radiology services and conduct digital dental radiographs within the hospital as well. When it is necessary to examine beneath the skin to assess the seriousness of an injury or illness, we utilize digital imaging methods to achieve a more precise diagnosis and evaluate the severity of your pet's condition in a non-invasive manner. Having digital radiology available on-site enables us to promptly review radiographs, and if required, we can easily forward them to a certified radiologist for consultation with just a click.
Surgery
Whether your pet requires spaying or neutering, needs a lump excised, or has a more serious health issue, our clinic is equipped with all the necessary tools to perform routine surgeries.
We utilize comprehensive patient monitoring equipment that enables us to keep track of your pet’s vital signs, including blood pressure, oxygen levels, respiratory and pulse rates, and temperature. Our registered veterinary technicians have completed accredited training, passed national certification exams, and consistently participate in educational seminars to ensure their skills and knowledge remain current. They are highly proficient in administering all medications and anesthetics under the guidance of our veterinarians.
Should your pet require more specialized care, we may refer you to a Board Certified Surgeon to ensure the highest quality of treatment available.
Dentistry
According to the American Veterinary Dental Society, over 80% of dogs and 70% of cats develop some type of dental disease by the age of three.
Annual wellness check-ups provide an excellent opportunity to evaluate your pet’s dental health and discuss their overall oral condition.
The most beneficial action you can take at home is to brush your pet’s teeth on a daily basis. Beginning this routine at a young age and utilizing products designed for pets will significantly contribute to maintaining your pet's oral health.
We understand that this can be challenging, particularly if you adopt an older animal, but we are here to provide guidance and strategies for keeping their mouths in good condition. Despite consistent dental care at home, it is likely that your pet will require regular professional dental cleanings throughout their life.
