Preventive Care

• Dental Care
  We also provide more specialized treatment options such as surgery and dental work – all done with utmost precision and compassion.
• Vaccination
  Vaccinations protect our fur babies from infections and often deadly diseases! Since vaccinations are so widespread, many of the diseases that once were common are now rarely seen. However, if fewer owners are vaccinating their pets, a resurgence may occur and alter an entire pet community.
• Nutritional Counseling
  Bordetella: (Kennel cough) helps pets avoid this very contagious viral and/or bacterial respiratory infection transmitted by dogs through casual contact – usually at boarding kennels, grooming facilities, dog parks, or on walks when other dogs are allowed to greet/sniff each other. Kennel cough is often a mild disease that presents as a harsh “honking” cough, runny eyes or nose, wheezing, and decreased appetite.  Boarding kennels and groomers typically require this vaccine.
• Comprehensive Examination
  When your pet is sick or injured, they can’t tell us what’s wrong. A thorough physical exam and history (symptoms you’ve noted at home) are the first important steps. If the diagnosis is not immediately evident upon initial assessment, your veterinarian will recommend specific diagnostic tests. These may include...

Illness Treatment

• Parasites Treatment and Control
  When health problems are identified, a medical plan will be outlined to evaluate the problems in depth. If your pet appears to be healthy enough for routine preventive care, your veterinarian will discuss which immunizations are advised, as well as parasite prevention including heartworm disease, intestinal parasites, and ectoparasites (fleas, ticks, etc.). Annual age-appropriate lab tests, testing for heartworm and/or tick-borne diseases, and fecal tests for parasites may also be recommended for your pet. Finally, your pet’s nutrition, diet, and exercise routines can be assessed and optimized to help your pet be in best physical condition for their lifestyle and age. Remember, keeping up with preventive care for your pet is the best way to keep your pet happy and healthy for life.
• Behavioral Disorder Treatment
  FVRCP: (Feline viral rhinotracheitis calicivirus panleukopenia) protects against feline distemper which is a highly contagious, potential fatal gastrointestinal virus; and two different upper respiratory infections.
• Diarrhea Treatment
  DAPP: (Distemper, adenovirus, parainfluenza, parvovirus) protects against distemper which is a highly contagious, potential fatal upper respiratory and neurological virus; adenovirus which can cause hepatitis; parainfluenza, a component of kennel cough; and parvovirus which is a highly contagious, potential fatal gastrointestinal virus which can cause bloody diarrhea.
• Skin Condition and Allergy Treatment
  Leptospirosis: Protects against this bacterial disease carried by many wild animals, especially rodents.  A dog can contract the disease from infected animals or by drinking contaminated water.  Leptospirosis may lead to jaundice and kidney failure. We recommend this vaccine due to the fact that Lepto is a zoonotic disease – meaning it can be passed from animal to humans.
• Intestinal Foreign Object Removal

Infection Treatment

• Leptospirosis Treatment
• Parvovirus Infection Treatment
• Feline Retro Virus Treatment
  FeLV: (Feline Leukemia Virus) protects against this common, highly transmissible virus. Feline leukemia is a form of cancer in cats which is usually fatal.  The disease can lead to tumor growth nearly anywhere in the body as well as a variety of other symptoms. Infected cats are unable to resist other diseases and may die from associated infections. As it is transmitted via cat-to-cat contact, we recommend FeLV to cats who are frequently outdoors. Testing for the disease is recommended prior to initiating a vaccine program.
• Bacterial and Viral Infection Treatment
  Canine Influenza: Suggested to help avoid this highly contagious viral infection which is transmitted through droplets or aerosols containing respiratory secretions from coughing, barking, and sneezing dogs. CI often resembles kennel cough and can be found in the same locations as kennel cough. Most cases are mild, but in more severe cases, it may lead to pneumonia and though it is not common, can be fatal.

Chronic Condition Treatment

• Arthritis Treatment
• Hip Dysplasia Treatment
  Lyme: Protects against the infection caused by a bacteria from an infected tick. Symptoms include fever, lethargy, muscle stiffness, depression, and lack of appetite. In more severe cases, lameness occurs as a result of severe musculoskeletal or arthritic type joint pain.
• Heart Disease Treatment
• Kidney Disease Treatment
  Any pre-surgical testing that is recommended – baseline laboratory testing is beneficial so that there are no surprises on surgery day. Knowing that your pet has normal blood test results can help prevent anesthetic complications or surgical complications such as excessive bleeding, which can occur when patients have low platelet counts or abnormal clotting. When there is liver or kidney disease, this may affect the choices of anesthetic drugs recommended by your veterinarian, to prevent anesthetic complications and promote a smooth anesthetic recovery.
• Periodontal Disease Treatment
  By age 3, most pets have some degree of periodontal disease. This occurs as a result of bacterial infection along the gum line, due to the formation of plaque. Plaque is a sticky substance containing millions of bacteria that forms along the tooth surface and gum line. Without frequent removal, plaque eventually hardens into tartar. Left untreated, this leads to gradual destruction of the gum tissue and supportive structures around the teeth, which can result in tooth loss. Not only is periodontal disease harmful and painful because it results in loss of teeth, but it can also cause damage to important vital organs such as the...

Emergency Care

• Wound and Fracture Care

Surgery

• Veterinary Surgery
  At some point in your pet’s life, they may need a surgical procedure. Whether your pet is having an elective surgery such as spay or neuter, or an emergency surgery for intestinal obstruction, you can rest assured that our staff will provide the very best care possible for your pet.
• Spaying and Neutering
  Spaying and neutering are additional topics to consider; the appropriate age for the timing of sterilization surgery may vary upon the species and breed of your pet. You may also want to consider Pet Health Insurance – a great way to get your new little family member off to a good start. Last but not least, you’ll also want to consider whether your new puppy or kitten may need preventives such as monthly heartworm prevention and flea/tick preventives. We realize that adding a new family pet can come with lots of questions... but don’t forget, we’re here to help, so please don’t hesitate to call.

Lab and X-Rays

• Laboratory Services
  Laboratory testing for baseline blood counts and organ function tests, or infectious disease. Blood and/or urine samples may be collected from your pet, for point-of-care testing, or reference lab tests. Point-of-care tests are those tests that are done on-site in our hospital so as to be able to determine results and make treatment recommendations in the most timely fashion possible. In other cases, lab samples may need to be sent off to off-site laboratories (reference laboratories) – when the test cannot be performed with in-hospital lab equipment, or when the test results are not needed urgently.
• Microchipping
  Our primary goal is comprehensive pet care to tackle any potential health issues early on. Therefore, our services include regular check-ups, vaccinations, micro-chipping, diagnostic screenings and preventive measures against common medical conditions pets may encounter. Additionally, we offer various treatment options and routine wellness care for your beloved pets.
