Preventive Care

• Dental Care
  Dental care is an essential part of your pet’s overall health. When oral hygiene is neglected, pets can develop dental disease which negatively affects other systems in the body and may lead to tooth loss.
• Vaccination
  Vaccinations play a key role in your pet’s overall wellness health care plan. Since there are numerous contagious diseases that are easily spread among our pets, vaccinations help tremendously with prevention. When our veterinarians discuss your cat’s vaccination protocol with you, they will attempt to gain an understanding of your pet’s lifestyle. For instance, does your cat live exclusively indoors, or does he/she spend time outdoors as well? Do you take your cat to a groomer or to a boarding facility? The answers to these types of questions will help determine your cat’s best vaccination plan to prevent disease.
• Veterinary Ophthalmology
  Wellness exams allow our veterinarians to detect problems and diseases that might go undiscovered otherwise, including heart murmurs, tumors, enlarged organs, cataracts, ear infections, ear mites, dental disease, skin issues and allergies.
• Behavioral Counseling
  During your pet's behavior consultation, we will review your pet's history, provide a physical evaluation and diagnosis, and work with you to develop a treatment plan.
• Nutritional Counseling
  Maintaining your pet’s ideal body weight can improve his or her life expectancy. If your pet is overweight, there are many things you can do to help him get back into shape. Speaking with us is the first place to start. For some pets, feeding a diet formulated for weight loss and carefully selecting lower calories treats can help. Increasing exercise as appropriate for your pet may be helpful. Most often, simply learning the correct volume of food to offer works wonders.
• Comprehensive Examination
  Let Animal Hospital at the Crossing provide professional care for your kitten, puppy, cat, or dog. A physical exam is the smartest and easiest way to keep your pet healthy.

Illness Treatment

• Parasites Treatment and Control
  Dogs could get sick (vomiting, diarrhea, and/or death) if placed on heartworm prevention when they have heartworm disease. Even if they have been on heartworm prevention year round there is always the possibility that the product may have failed for various reasons (your pet spit out the pill, did not absorb the pill appropriately, topical medicine was not applied properly, forgot to administer medication on time, etc.) and the earlier we can treat your pet for heartworm disease the better the prognosis. Some companies will guarantee their product providing you use the heartworm prevention year round and are performing yearly heartworm tests. When starting heartworm prevention it is important that you perform an initial heartworm test and another heartworm test 6-7 months after starting the prevention to rule out the prior infection fully. During the early stages of development, some larvae are not detectable by the test. It may take a full 6-7 months before they can be detected, which is why we need to repeat the testing later after starting preventative.
• Behavioral Disorder Treatment
  FVRCP Vaccine: This is a “4-way” feline vaccine that vaccinates against feline distemper (aka panleukopenia), rhinotrachetitis, and calici. Kittens can be vaccinated as early as 6 weeks and are boostered every 3 weeks until 16 weeks of age. Adult cats are then revaccinated every 3 years.
• Pain Management
  A multi-modal approach refers to the layered administration of small amounts of different medications to achieve the desired levels of anesthesia and pain management. We administer lower doses of each individual anesthetic which generally equates to, fewer side effects, complete pain relief and faster post-operative recovery.
• Vomiting Treatment
• Diarrhea Treatment
• Skin Condition and Allergy Treatment
  At Animal Hospital at the Crossing, we rely on state-of-the-art technology to help us identify the cause of skin conditions in pets. We may require blood work and/or a biopsy to aid us in diagnosing the issue.
• Upper Respiratory Illness Treatment
  Also called Infectious Tracheobronchitis, it is easily transmitted through the air. It is caused by viruses and/or bacteria that affect the respiratory system of dogs. Frequent vaccination is the best way to reduce the severity of respiratory disease.

Infection Treatment

• Leptospirosis Treatment
  Leptospirosis Vaccine: Leptospirosis is a bacterial disease that is spread by wildlife (raccoons, skunks, deer, opossums, squirrels, rats) and domestic animals through their urine. It can be passed to people. Canine leptospirosis has risen dramatically in recent years. To prevent Leptospirosis in your dog, discourage your pet from drinking standing water and vaccinate yearly.
• Parvovirus Infection Treatment
  DAPP vaccine: This is a “4-way” canine vaccine that vaccinates against canine distemper, adenovirus type 2, parainfluenza, and parvovirus. Distemper has no cure and parvovirus is often fatal, especially in puppies, which is why it is initially boostered multiple times. Puppies can be vaccinated as early as 6 weeks and are boostered every 3 weeks until 16 weeks of age. Adult dogs are then revaccinated yearly.
• Feline Retro Virus Treatment
  Both puppies and kittens should have certain diagnostic tests over the course of their first year. Puppies should be tested for heartworm by 12 months of age, if not before. Kittens, on the other hand, should be tested for feline leukemia (FeLV) and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) during their first exam.
• Ear Infection Treatment
• Urinary Tract Infection Treatment

Chronic Condition Treatment

• Diabetes Treatment
• Thyroid Disease Treatment
  At Animal Hospital at the Crossing, we treat animals with glandular and metabolic problems. Endocrinology is the branch of medicine dealing with hormonal imbalances in your pet’s body. Hormonal diseases can occur as a result of an excess of certain hormones, such as hyperthyroidism in cats, or lack of hormones, such as diabetes. There are several endocrines and renal diseases you may have heard of...
• Heart Disease Treatment
  If your pet should develop a disorder of the canine or feline cardiovascular system, including the heart and blood vessels, our Veterinarians can diagnose and treat your pet. Just like humans, dogs and cats can suffer from a variety of disorders related to their heart and lungs, including congestive heart failure, hypertension, cardiomyopathy and valvular disorders.
• Kidney Disease Treatment
  Prescription Diets: Prescription diets are formulated and designed to meet specific nutritional needs required for certain illnesses and conditions. We offer a variety of prescription diets to help manage health diseases and conditions, such as diabetes, kidney disease, liver disease, obesity, arthritis, allergies, pancreatitis, and many more.
• Cancer Treatment
  If your pet suffers from a serious disease requiring specialized care, we are trained in advanced medical procedures and techniques, including biopsies, critical care management, intravenous fluid therapy, chemotherapy, and diabetic stabilization.

• Spaying and Neutering
