Preventive Care

• Dental Care
  It is important to realize that your dog will never tell you when it is experiencing dental pain. All dogs will endure some level of dental disease and dental pain during their lives. In fact, dental disease affects nearly 80% of dogs over three years of age. The best way to minimize these issues is for your dog is to start out with a great dental health routine at home. This should be supplemented with regular dental cleanings performed by veterinary professionals (a veterinarian and veterinary nurse to aid in the dental cleaning and patient care during the procedure).
• Vaccination
• Behavioral Counseling
  At least one physical examination is recommended annually for our veterinarians to evaluate your pet’s overall health. At this time, our veterinarians will also take a complete medical history, make nutrition recommendations, discuss behavioral problems, and review any known medical conditions or suggest additional diagnostics or procedures on a case-by-case basis.
• Nutritional Counseling
  Ticks are nasty little buggers! The deer tick is the carrier of Lyme disease, which is known to cause fever, lethargy, loss of appetite, and joint pain. If your doggie spends lots of time in areas with a heavy tick population, this vaccine is a good idea. We also recommend using flea/tick prevention regardless of whether or not your pup needs the Lyme vaccine.
• Comprehensive Examination
  After the dermatological system is evaluated during the physical exam, your veterinarian will suggest a flea/tick treatment or prevention program.

Illness Treatment

• Parasites Treatment and Control
  Annual testing is recommended to check for intestinal parasites. Your pet can contract intestinal parasites by coming in contact with fecal-contaminated material from an infected animal. If parasites are detected, your veterinarian will begin a treatment program.
• Behavioral Disorder Treatment
  This stands for Feline Rhinotracheitis-Calici-Panleukopenia-Chlamydia Psittaci Vaccine. There is a whole lot of stuff wrapped into this feline distemper vaccine! For adult kitties, the one-year vaccine is good for three years.
• Injury Treatment

Infection Treatment

• Leptospirosis Treatment
  Lepto is a spiral bacteria that wildlife carry. It is transmitted through urine and acute kidney and liver issues and can be transmitted to pets and people. This can also be fatal! Don’t drink the water… outside, that is.
• Parvovirus Infection Treatment
  Distemper, adenovirus, parainfluenza, parvovirus. One injection covers a lot! The great news is that after the pet’s first year of age, the one-year vaccine has been proven to last up to three years.
• Anal Gland Infection Treatment
  Give your four-legged friends the pampering they deserve with our groomer, Laura. Be it a medicated bath, a nail trim, a haircut, or just a trim, Laura has been doing it for 20 years, and she will treat your doggy pal with care and compassion. Laura also will perform anal gland expression (a service that not all groomers will do).
• Urinary Tract Infection Treatment
  Based on the physical exam findings and history, our veterinarians may recommend additional testing such as bloodwork, urinalysis, or radiographs to help identify any internal issues. Our in-house laboratory can provide results within minutes, which helps our veterinarians create an optimal real-time treatment plan for your pet. We can screen pets for abnormalities like pancreatitis, kidney disease, heartworm disease, urinary tract infections – and so much more! In critically ill pets, this may save valuable time and guide our team to giving your pet the best outcome possible.

Chronic Condition Treatment

• Hip Dysplasia Treatment
• Kidney Disease Treatment

Surgery

• Veterinary Surgery
• Spaying and Neutering
  Spay and neuter surgeries are the most effective deterrents of pet overpopulation and certain types of cancer in male and female cats and dogs. We recommend spaying and neutering for most, if not all, of our patients because we believe that prevention is the best medicine. Spaying and neutering not only prevents pet pregnancies, but also prevents mammary tumors and uterine cancer in females and enlarged prostate and testicular tumors in males.

Lab and X-Rays

• Laboratory Services
  Annual heartworm blood tests are recommended to make sure your pet doesn’t have heartworm disease, a disease transmitted via mosquito bite. At this time, our veterinarians and staff will also recommend that your pet get its heartworm preventative.
• X-Ray
• Microchipping
  Did you know that getting lost is the number one cause of death for pets? One in three pets goes missing during their lifetime, and without identification, 90 % of pets never return home. Microchip implantation causes no more discomfort than a vaccination and is a simple one-time insertion with a syringe. Almost all humane organizations have scanners that read microchip IDs. Microchips help thousands of lost pets return home each month. We use the Avid microchip system.
