Preventive Care

  You don’t have to lose sleep over your pet’s oral health. Whatever their needs and preferences, we can work with you to find a treatment plan that delivers results for your pet—including a better quality of life. If teeth brushing just isn’t for them, there are other ways you can brighten their smile, from a tartar control diet to oral care wipes. Contact us so we can help you find the best options!

  Your pet’s health is the most important thing they have (next to you and your family). At Animal Medical Clinic in Skowhegan, ME, we understand that keeping your pet healthy is a lifelong commitment. This is why pet wellness care plays a central role in their ongoing care. Yearly checkups, tailored vaccinations, and routine lab tests help to ensure that all your pet’s essential needs are being met to the fullest extent.

Illness Treatment

• Parasites Treatment and Control
  Heartworm disease and Lyme disease can be life-threatening, and flea allergy dermatitis can cause great discomfort in your pet. By keeping these parasites at bay, you’re also protecting your companion from conditions that can have a serious effect on their quality of life.
• Skin Condition and Allergy Treatment
  If your pet has sensitive or itchy skin or is prone to skin disorders, we carry gentle formulas that will soothe and help heal their damaged skin barrier.

Infection Treatment

• Bacterial and Viral Infection Treatment
  Cats are avid groomers and dogs do their best to groom themselves. Still, both can be prone to issues (parasites, fungal infections, and other skin disorders) that only a professional groomer can resolve. Keeping your pet clean will make them look and feel their best, and it can prevent diseases of the skin, ears, and nails. It can also reduce excessive shedding!
• Anal Gland Infection Treatment

Chronic Condition Treatment

• Hip Dysplasia Treatment
  Canine hip dysplasia is an inherited skeletal disease that primarily affects large and giant breed dogs including Great Danes, Saint Bernards, Labrador Retrievers, and German Shepherds (though any breed can be affected). Hip dysplasia can cause hip arthritis and severe pain, limiting mobility and reducing quality of life. At Animal Medical Clinic, we can provide PennHIP and OFA testing to see if your puppy is at risk for canine hip dysplasia. This can help us anticipate future problems for your pet and recommend possible treatment options to make their condition more manageable.

It can help them avoid gingivitis, tooth decay, tooth loss, and even heart, liver, and kidney disease. These issues are preventable with a tailored teeth cleaning plan, and we can help you find the best plan for your companion’s needs.
