Preventive Care

• Dental Care
  Over time, bacteria leads to plaque and tartar buildup on your pet’s teeth. The result is bad breath, reddened gums, and other common signs of dental disease. As dental disease progresses, other signs can include drooling, discomfort while chewing, abscesses, and loose or missing teeth. Even if you’re using treats and chews to help control tartar, these are frequently not enough to keep dental disease in check. Ask us about the best ways to control plaque and help protect your pet from dental disease.
• Vaccination
  Pets today can live longer, healthier lives than ever before—in part because of vaccines that help protect them from deadly infectious diseases. Over the years, vaccines against dangerous diseases have saved millions of pets and virtually eliminated some fatal diseases that were once common. Unfortunately, many infectious diseases still pose a significant threat to dogs and cats that are unvaccinated. Although vaccine programs have been highly successful and vaccines are considered routine today, we (as caregivers) and you (as pet parents) cannot afford to become complacent about keeping pets up-to-date on their vaccinations.
• Behavioral Counseling
  We offer several types of group classes as well as private training and behavior consultations. If your pet has any behaviors you would like to see changed, such as reacting to other dogs, separation anxiety, and chewing to more severe aggression issues, please give us a call and she can work on setting up a behavior consultation for you and your dog. If your pet is a jumper, barker, pulls on the leash, or will not come when called, she can help!
• Nutritional Counseling
  If your pet seems healthy, a wellness examination is a good opportunity to note any changes, such as weight gain or loss or other subtle changes that may not be evident at home. Sometimes, information obtained during a wellness examination can help detect early signs of illness and address health issues before they progress.
• Comprehensive Examination
  Whether your pet is a youngster, a “senior citizen,” or any age in between, wellness examinations provide an excellent opportunity for us to conduct a thorough physical examination and develop a health profile for your pet.

Illness Treatment

• Parasites Treatment and Control
  Ticks can transmit infections like Lyme disease, and fleas can transmit tapeworms and Bartonella – the bacteria that causes “cat-scratch fever” in humans. Another type of parasite, called a heartworm, is transmitted by mosquitoes. Heartworms live in your pet’s lungs and heart, causing damage to these organs and sometimes even death. Intestinal parasites, like roundworms and hookworms, also threaten pets and are even transmissible to humans.
• Pain Management
  Experiencing pain can affect the body’s physical functioning and can have a detrimental effect on a patient’s well-being and state of mind. That’s why pain management is among our primary considerations when we are treating a pet for any medical condition.
• Upper Respiratory Illness Treatment
  There are some situations where your pet will need general anesthesia or sedation while under our care (dental services, surgical procedures, some anxious or fearful patients for exams or to perform medical diagnostics). Before administering any medications, your pet’s medical record will be extensively reviewed (bloodwork, radiographs, and general health history), and they will receive an exam by each surgical team member. During this part of your pet’s exam, their vital signs are taken, along with listening to their heart and respiratory system. After your pet’s pre-anesthetic exam, the veterinarian and lead surgical technician will formulate an appropriate medication protocol (pre and post-anesthetic medications and any pain management).

Infection Treatment

• Urinary Tract Infection Treatment
  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! This may save valuable time in critically ill pets and guide our team to giving your pet the best outcome possible. We partner with an excellent reference laboratory for more routine testing that provides most results within 24-72 hours.

Chronic Condition Treatment

• Heart Disease Treatment
  Dental hygiene is an important part of your pet’s health because dental disease can be associated with other serious health problems such as heart disease and kidney disease. But how do you know if your pet has a healthy mouth? Let us examine your pet’s teeth and gums to help determine if there are any dental issues you should know about. After a brief visual examination, we may recommend a more detailed examination (which requires sedation), a dental cleaning, or at-home dental care options.
• Kidney Disease Treatment

Emergency Care

• Seizure Treatment
  Anesthesia is a temporary loss of consciousness, where your pet’s level of consciousness is controlled, so they don’t feel pain and don’t move.

Surgery

• Veterinary Surgery
  In our continuing efforts to offer the highest quality veterinary medicine, we are pleased to provide a wide range of surgical services for our patients.
• Spaying and Neutering
  From routine surgical procedures, such as spaying and neutering, to more complex surgeries, we look forward to the opportunity to care for your pet’s surgical needs. Our staff is highly skilled in performing veterinary surgeries and will make every effort to ensure that your pet receives the very best care.

Lab and X-Rays

• Laboratory Services
  Blood tests and other laboratory tests are essential in keeping your pet well and diagnosing illness. C.C. Veterinary Hospital offers an in-house, state-of-the-art laboratory enabling us to provide accurate laboratory results within a very short period of time. The faster we are able to diagnose your pet’s health issue, the faster we can treat it! In addition, we work with an outside lab to offer any specialized tests your pet may need.
• X-Ray
• Dental Radiology
  If your pet is diagnosed with dental disease, we have a dental machine to clean and polish their teeth. We also have the tools needed to extract any broken, diseased, or damaged teeth that could be causing your pet pain. Because 60% of dental disease occurs beneath the gum line, we have a special dental X-ray unit to see any changes not visible on examination. All of these tools help ensure your pet has a healthy, pain-free mouth.
• Microchipping
  Young puppies and kittens can receive microchips, but even if your pet is already an adult, you should consider microchipping. Even indoor pets can get outside accidentally and get lost, so if you’re relying on other forms of identification, you could be placing your pet at risk. Microchipping is a safe, effective way to help ensure your pet’s return if the unthinkable happens.

General Pet Care

• Grooming
• Senior Pet Care
  Your senior pet’s wellness examination is also your chance to have us address any of your questions or concerns about your pet. We welcome your questions and encourage you to be involved in decisions regarding your pet’s health care.
