• Vaccination

• Veterinary Ophthalmology
  Your pet may be referred to the animal eye clinic for ocular surgeries, glaucoma treatment, or unresolved eye diseases. Dr. Kevin Kaiser is a board certified veterinary ophthalmalogist.
• Behavioral Counseling
  Otherwise known as Cognitive Dysfunction, can cause several behavioral changes in our elderly pets including... disruption of sleep/wake cycles, vocalizing, housesoiling, confusion, disorientation, and forgetting previously known commands. These behavior changes are not a normal part of aging and there is something you can do. Senilife is a new product we are carrying that is a safe alternative or adjunct to prescription medications. It contains a unique combination of ingredients that work synergistically to improve the common signs associated with cognitive dysfunction. Senilife has been shown to improve cognitive dysfunction in 86% of patients, some in as few as 7 days. Currently, the manufacturer is offering a 100% guarantee, which means if you try it and it doesn't help your pet, you will get a refund. What do you have to lose?!
• Nutritional Counseling

We can also provide you with prescription diets designed to aid in the treatment of specific disorders. Please check with one of our receptionists to see if your prescription diet is readily available. In some cases it may take up to a week to make a special order for your pet's needs.
• Comprehensive Examination
  A physical exam is the most important part of the senior care program. Your veterinarian will assess all body systems to check for any abnormalities.

Illness Treatment

  Washington dogs are at risk for heartworm disease. In response to this concern the WSVMA and specialists at the WSU College of Veterinary Medicine have issued a statement. According to these specialists the likelihood of heartworm infection in Washington is still
• Behavioral Disorder Treatment
  Recommended to be given to all dogs. Generally given in a puppy series until 16 weeks of age, then 1 year later. After that it can safely be given every 3 years and still provide immunity.
• 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.
• Vomiting Treatment

  Your pet may be referred here for allergy testing, or difficult to manage skin conditions. Dr. Jones and Dr. Miller are board certified veterinary dermatologists who travel to Spokane a couple times each month to see cases.
• Injury Treatment

Infection Treatment

• Leptospirosis Treatment
  Leptospirosis is a bacterial disease that is potentially fatal to dogs (and people). In the past, problems with vaccine reactions and the infrequency of diagnosis led many veterinarians to discontinue the vaccine.
• Urinary Tract Infection Treatment

Chronic Condition Treatment

• Hip Dysplasia Treatment
  It depends on which company and plan you choose. Most plans cover many types of treatment for traumatic injuries and diseases. In some plans you can even get coverage for preventative health care such as vaccinations, dental cleanings, and wellness screens. Often times treatment for genetic diseases, such as hip dysplasia, are excluded from the plans, as are conditions acquired prior to the purchase of the plan.
• Diabetes Treatment
• Thyroid Disease Treatment
• Heart Disease Treatment
  Heartworms are very tiny worms that are transmitted by a particular species of mosquito. They usually enter the bloodstream and set up home in the right atrium of the heart. Untreated infections usually lead to heart failure and pulmonary hypertension. Both dogs and cats can become infected with heartworms, however infections in cats are not as common. Heartworms are spread easily in some areas of the country. However, heartworm is not endemic (meaning the risk of transmission is very low) in Washington state.
• Kidney Disease Treatment
  Blood chemistry tests measure levels of various substances in the blood and diagnose diseases such as diabetes, and liver and kidney failure.
• Periodontal Disease Treatment
  About 85% of adult dogs and cats have some form of periodontal disease. Periodontal disease occurs when plaque, a colorless film that contains bacteria, builds up. With time plaque causes bad breath, pain, and gingival infections. Ultimately this results in the loss of tissues and bone that supports the teeth. There is also evidence to suggest that the mouth can be a source of bacteria that can spread to the heart, liver, lungs, or kidneys.

• X-Ray
• Dental Radiology

• Microchipping
  Microchips are a very popular means of permanently identifying your pet and helping in the recovery process if they are to escape or get lost. The chips are sterile, inert, and tiny. This means that they are designed to be inserted under your pets skin and remain there for life. There are rarely any complications except that sometimes a chip can move under the skin and end up in spot that doesn't get read by the scanner. In these cases it is wise to place a second chip, but the old one does not need to be removed.
