Preventive Care

• Dental Care
  Dental care is vital to the overall health of any animal. Dental disease can lead to health issues with the heart, liver, and kidneys, and can affect the entire body through the bloodstream. In fact, 80 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats over three years of age suffer from some form of dental disease, making it the most common pet health issue among our pet population.

Illness Treatment

• Parasites Treatment and Control
• Skin Condition and Allergy Treatment
  Many pets we see have had skin issues for months, or even years with itchiness, scabbing, or hair loss. Your pet’s veterinarian can discuss options that will help diagnose the underlying condition that is causing the skin problems. Tests may include allergy testing, looking at skin preparations under a microscope, and possibly even skin biopsies. These results will guide your pet’s veterinarian decide what treatment options are best for you and your pet, and what will allow the quickest resolution of your pet’s skin condition.

Chronic Condition Treatment

• Hip Dysplasia Treatment
• Diabetes Treatment
• Heart Disease Treatment
  An echocardiogram is an ultrasound of the heart, which allows your pet’s veterinarian to measure how thick the heart’s muscular walls are, how well the heart contracts, and how well the valves are working. Your pet’s veterinarian can also prescribe the appropriate medications after a successful diagnosis, to keep your pet’s heart as healthy as possible. Some symptoms of diseases of the heart may include exercise intolerance, lethargy, collapse, and difficulty breathing. It is important for your pet to see the veterinarian if your pet has any of these symptoms.
