Preventive Care

• Dental Care
  Hereford Veterinary Clinic is a well-established, full-service, small and large animal veterinary hospital providing comprehensive medical, surgical and dental care.
• Vaccination
  For the safety of all animals in our care, we require that all vaccinations be up to date. Even though we make every effort to make our patients feel comfortable during visits, they may be a little uneasy about new people, new surroundings and other pets. This is one of the reasons we ask you to restrain your pet.
• Nutritional Counseling
  Dietary Counseling: We will provide guidance regarding your pet's nutritional needs for each life stage, including dietary requirements for growth, weight maintenance and performance.
• Comprehensive Examination
  Today's modern anesthetics have made surgery much safer than in the past. Here at Hereford Veterinary Clinic, we do a thorough physical exam on your pet before administering anesthetics, to ensure that a fever or other illness won't be a problem. We also adjust the amount and type of anesthetic used depending on the health of your pet. The handout on anesthesia explains this in greater detail.

Illness Treatment

• Parasites Treatment and Control
  In the past, deworming protocols have consisted of periodic deworming (every 2-3 months), rotating deworming products. Another common program was to maintain horses on a daily dewormer (pyrantel). It has become apparent within the last few years that these programs have produced a population of parasites that is resistant to one or more types of dewormers. This is problematic, since there haven't been any new types of dewormers released in the last 25 or so years, and as far as we know, there won't be any new ones for some time. So what do we do? Basically, we're going to have to minimize the production of resistant parasites through proper management of our horse herds.
• Pain Management
  Anything that causes pain in people can be expected to cause pain in animals. Pets may not show the same symptoms of pain as people do; they usually don't whine or cry, but you can be sure they feel it. Pain medications needed will depend on the surgery performed. Major procedures require more pain relief than things like minor lacerations.
