Preventive Care

• Dental Care
  Oral disease is one of the most common yet most treatable and preventable ailments our pets face. Tartar build-up, chewing habits, traumatic injury and many other causes often lead to development of oral disease that, if left unchecked or untreated, can develop into serious deterioration of your pets teeth and health, ultimately lowering quality of life. Our animal dentistry program assesses the condition of your pets teeth and oral cavity, cleans away debris and tartar build-up, and treats problematic areas of deterioration. We recommend an oral evaluation at least once per year, often coinciding with a general wellness evaluation.
• Vaccination
  Our Wellness and Vaccination programs aim to prevent disease and prolong the lives of your pets. These programs are designed with the understanding that prevention of disease is often easier than treatment of a developed disease, as well as much less costly. While avoidance of every ailment in the life of a pet is nearly impossible, our Wellness and Vaccination programs greatly increase the likelihood of prevention or early diagnosis of common veterinary diseases.
• Nutritional Counseling
  We offer a wide variety of specialty and therapeutic pet foods for a range of lifestyles. We also carry prescription diet foods available upon nutritional consultation with one of our doctors. Additional supplements, treats, and other pet products are also available.
• Comprehensive Examination
  Heart disease is a serious life-threatening condition that, like most ailments, has a better prognosis the earlier it is detected. Although most common in older pets, heart problems can affect pets of any age and lifestyle. Like many other diseases, heart problems may persist without any obvious physical evidence, often going undetected until it is too late. However, many heart problems can be identified with trained physical examination and diagnostic procedures including EKGs, radiographs, and ultrasound. In addition we maintain a close working relationship with local veterinary cardiologists for consultation if necessary.

Illness Treatment

• Parasites Treatment and Control
  One of the most common conditions seen in companion animal medicine, flea and tick treatment and prevention is not only essential for your pet, but for your home and family as well. These parasites not only cause irritation and discomfort to your pet, but are also capable of transmitting disease to animals and humans alike. Luckily, as common as flea and tick problems are, they are relatively easy to treat and prevent. We offer a range of preventative products and parasite control information, as well as effective treatments should exposure to these parasites occur.
• Pain Management
  Pain management is becoming more and more relevant in the veterinary world with recent medical advances in both the human and veterinary fields. There are a number of therapeutic procedures used to address pain management in our pets, many of which are available through our hospital. For more information on the details and availability of these therapies, please contact our office.
• Skin Condition and Allergy Treatment
  Skin disease is yet another common ailment experienced by many companion animals and can often result in extreme discomfort for your pet. Although it can occur independent of other ailments, skin disease is often secondary to an underlying primary condition, and is thus very useful as diagnostic evidence in exploring the overall health of your pet. Therefore, a dermatological assessment can not only address obvious skin disorders, but may also provide a road map to detecting and treating less obvious (but potentially more serious) health concerns.

Chronic Condition Treatment

• Thyroid Disease Treatment
• Heart Disease Treatment
• Cancer Treatment
  Much like humans, our pets are susceptible to many different forms of cancer. While severity differs based on such factors as time of discovery and tissues affected, many of these cases are treatable with proper resources. Treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy, drug therapy, and others will often prolong and improve the quality of life for your pet. These treatments are becoming more common in veterinary medicine everyday and recent medical advancements in this area are continually improving the success rate of these practices. Please inquire for further details on these procedures.

Surgery

• Veterinary Surgery
  Our hospital offers a range of surgical services, including spays, neuters, and other soft tissue surgeries that are all conducted in-house by our well-experienced doctors and support staff, assuring quality care from start to finish. See below for more detail on these procedures. While we pride ourselves in caring for your pet through the entire course of their treatment. However, it is occasionally necessary for us to refer your case to one of our trusted colleagues that specialize in your animal’s particular surgical needs. We do so through the strong rapport that we have developed with some of the areas best board-certified veterinary surgeons, allowing us to provide your pet with the best care possible no matter what the circumstances.
• Spaying and Neutering
  Neutering your pet has many benefits. The procedure, which prevents male animals from reproducing, can help your dog or cat live a longer, healthier life. Neutering will not change your pet’s personality.

Lab and X-Rays

• X-Ray
  While the first step in evaluating the health of your pet is almost always a physical examination, the answers to your animal’s health questions often require the use of diagnostic technology that allows us to see beyond the physical exam. Our diagnostic imaging equipment, including state-of-the-art digital radiography, endoscopic imaging, and soundwave ultrasonography provide our doctors the ability to assess your animal’s health from the inside out. These practices afford us the opportunity to diagnose conditions clearly and conclusively with minimal invasiveness, ultimately improving the overall experience your pet has while in our care.
• Microchipping
  When a stray animal is collected by these services or brought to a nearby veterinarian, they are scanned (a standard practice on stray animals) with a non-invasive handheld scanner similar to a metal detection wand. If the animal has been microchipped, the scanner will identify the unique registration code of the microchip and provide the scanning party with your ownership information, offering an invaluable avenue for the safe return of your pet. For more information on microchipping your pet, please contact our office.

General Pet Care

• Senior Pet Care
  Our Senior Pet Wellness programs focus on the later years in your pets life. We recommend a thorough senior wellness exam and diagnostic work-up relative to size and age of your pet.
