Preventive Care

• Dental Care
  Cat & dog teeth cleaning is not just a cosmetic solution for whitening your pet's teeth and freshening their breath. It also plays a major role in preventing painful and possibly debilitating oral health problems. Brushing your pet's teeth every day may seem like over-attentive behavior, but it can significantly reduce plaque and tartar buildup. Furthermore, this habit can prevent conditions such as gingivitis and gum disease from ever developing. Dundee Animal Hospital offers complete, customized pet dental care programs to prevent future issues and treat existing ones. Our skilled veterinarians and technicians closely follow all AAHA guidelines when performing dental procedures and related services.
• Vaccination
  While we can't remove bacteria, parasites and pathogens from your pet's environment, we can keep your pet protected with cat & dog vaccinations. At Dundee Animal Hospital, we carry all of the vaccines your dog or cat will need to stay protected throughout their life. Furthermore, we can create a customized pet vaccination plan to suit their specific lifestyle. Once we have established a plan, we'll explain your pet's vaccination schedule. Many vaccines must be given annually to remain effective. In addition, puppies and kittens will need to receive a series of boosters to "boost" their immunity levels.
• Comprehensive Examination
  A physical exam may tell us that your pet is sick, but may not be able to tell us exactly what is ailing them. We also cannot obtain a comprehensive health profile without going more in depth. With our cutting-edge cat and dog imaging, diagnostics and veterinary experts, we can examine your pet internally using minimally-invasive technology*. Furthermore, this technology gives us faster, more accurate results that we can interpret to find the best diagnosis and therefore the best treatment.

Illness Treatment

• Parasites Treatment and Control
  We recommend fecal tests to check for intestinal parasites, which many puppies are born with. We will need to test them again following treatment, to ensure that they’re parasite-free.
• Pain Management
  Our AAHA-accredited animal hospitals in Dundee, Elgin, and Algonquin are conscious of the impact pain can have on pets and do everything possible to provide pain relief for dogs & cats.
• Skin Condition and Allergy Treatment
  Will check your pet’s weight, temperature, respiratory rate and heart rate, ears, eyes, mouth, skin and coat, joints/limbs, etc. If you have a new puppy, we'll need to discuss parasite prevention, housebreaking and training, vaccinations

Infection Treatment

• Leptospirosis Treatment
• Ear Infection Treatment
  Dr. Larson works in our Elgin office. His primary interest in the field is dermatology, with a focused interest in allergic skin diseases and chronic ear infections. He is proficient in video otoscopy to allow for more thorough evaluation and treatment of various ear conditions.

Chronic Condition Treatment

Emergency Care

• Wound and Fracture Care
  A wide range of health issues, from minor to major, can be detected with our diagnostics capabilities. We can measure blood cell count and electrolytes using our lab equipment, and identify problems such as heartworm disease and tapeworm. With cat & dog X-ray, we can find bone fractures, intestinal blockages, tumors, heart and lung problems, and indications of hip dysplasia and arthritis.

Surgery

• Veterinary Surgery
  Dr. Moderhack went on to earn her DVM at the University of Illinois in 2015. She has special interests in oncology, cytology and soft tissue surgery. Her favorite class while in veterinary school was a communications elective that showed her the importance of being able to effectively connect and relate with clients. Dr. Moderhack is proficient in Spanish and enjoys working with our Spanish-speaking clients.
• Spaying and Neutering
  You may have heard the words "spay and neuter your pets" many times before. While we have come a long way in veterinary medicine, pet overpopulation is still a major concern in some areas of the country. It's important to our team at Dundee Animal Hospital that your pets have a healthy start in life. One of the fundamental steps we recommend for all of our clients is to have their pets spayed and neutered while they are still young.
• Veterinary Euthanasia
  However, if your pet's health is declining or has a poor prognosis, we may suggest cat or dog euthanasia as the most humane option. For pets with terminal illnesses or irreversible conditions, euthanasia is the kindest course of action. We want to help you relieve their suffering in any way possible.

Lab and X-Rays

• Laboratory Services
  Wellness programs have various components, from the comprehensive dog exam to laboratory diagnostics. During the physical, your veterinarian
• X-Ray
• Dental Radiology
  Take dental X-ray images of the entire oral cavity to detect tooth fractures, pockets, damage to surrounding bone, and other problems.
• Microchipping
  A cat or dog microchip is not a miniature GPS system, so it can’t track your pet’s movements and location. However, it does contain information that connects them to you. Each individual microchip contains a unique ID number, and when you register your pet’s microchip as directed, their chip can be scanned anytime for its ID number, which is then entered into a universal database to bring up your contact information. Animal hospitals, shelters, and some police stations have microchip scanners available to check for microchips in pets.

General Pet Care

• Boarding
  Your pet will be in good hands during their stay with us, and you are more than welcome to call at any time to check on them. They will be staying in a comfortable, secure space and walked every 2-4 hours as appropriate. If you would like to know more about our overnight monitoring or medical boarding services, call any of our locations today.
• Grooming
  During the exam, your avian vet will discuss diet, housing, grooming and handling, and answer any questions you have. Other services we can provide for birds include wing and nail trimming. Beak trimming is not normally necessary for birds, but may be needed if they have a health or nutritional issue.
• Senior Pet Care
  For the best care, pet need to come in for annual cat & dog exams. Senior pets should see us every six months for a full evaluation and to check for acute or chronic issues. We love seeing our pet patients thriving and greeting us with wagging tails or head rubs! Our goal is always to improve their quality of life and give them many more years to spend with you.
