Preventive Care

• Dental Care
  Each of your pet’s teeth is individually probed and charted for problems like gingivitis, calculus/tartar, mobility, and other pathology. We strongly recommend full mouth digital radiographs on every dental procedure to determine the sub-gingival health of the teeth. Since 70% of each tooth exists below the gumline, this allows the doctors to formulate a treatment plan for a diseased tooth. This plan might include sub-gingival planing, instillation of an antibiotic-impregnated gel, or extraction. Some teeth that look perfectly healthy on the surface, are hiding problems at the root and need to be extracted, while vice-versa a tooth that looks unhealthy or diseased on top, might still have a solid root base – and can therefore be saved.
• Vaccination
  The compassion fund does not cover preventative care – spays, neuters, and vaccinations, no reproductive problems – such as pyometra or birthing complications, and no treatment of illnesses that could have been prevented – like parvo, distemper, or kennel cough. Several factors must be met in order to qualify for our Compassion Fund, and financial assistance varies depending on the need and availability of funds. In order to allow more patients to receive assistance from the Compassion Fund, each case is reviewed and awarded a portion based on the anticipated cost of care.
• Comprehensive Examination
