Preventive Care

• Dental Care
• Vaccination
  Veterinary science, in conjunction with the veterinary industry, has done a great job developing vaccines that are very safe and effective preventive measures. Vaccines keep your pet protected from serious infectious diseases. Diseases that, just a few years ago, were epidemics are now less common. Vaccinations are split into core and non-core vaccines.
• Behavioral Counseling
• Comprehensive Examination
  An annual physical exam is a vital part of maintaining a healthy, happy, and long life for your dog or cat. Since animals age faster than people do and can’t communicate when they are not feeling well, your veterinarian will gain valuable insights into the health of your dog. Our skilled team will perform a nose to tail examination of your pet. We also will utilize diagnostics such as blood screening, fecal screening and urine testing.

Illness Treatment

• Pain Management
  Trenton Veterinary Hospital offers both traditional and non-traditional options for pain management. Medications including NSAIDS, steroids, and opioids are utilized. We also offer nontraditional items such as cold laser therapy.

Infection Treatment

• Feline Retro Virus Treatment
• Bacterial and Viral Infection Treatment
  The combination of food, saliva, and bacteria leads to plaque formation. If this isn’t removed by brushing, it mineralizes and becomes tartar. Tartar accumulation promotes bacterial infections below the gumline, which result in gum recession and destruction of the tooth’s support structures. Without treatment, tooth loss and pain occur. Bacteria from a tooth infection can also enter the blood stream and spread to distant organs, like the kidney, liver and heart.

Chronic Condition Treatment

• Heart Disease Treatment

Surgery

• Veterinary Surgery
  Trenton Veterinary Hospital is located in the historic downtown of Trenton, Michigan on the Detroit River. From the moment you walk into our beautiful, quaint lobby we want you and your pet to feel part of the Trenton Veterinary Hospital family. We are a fully equipped medical facility offering comprehensive medical, dental, and surgical care.

Lab and X-Rays

• Laboratory Services
  In addition to blood tests, we will utilize placement of an intravenous (IV) catheter as part of the anesthetic preparation. The catheter can be used to provide anesthetics and intravenous fluids to keep your pet hydrated; additionally, if needed, it would serve as a pathway to directly administer life-saving medications, should a crisis arise.
• X-Ray
• Dental Radiology
  A dental at Trenton Veterinary Hospital involves an evaluation of the oral cavity and cleaning not only the surface of the teeth, but underneath the gumline where the majority of bacteria and tartar are found. After the teeth are cleaned, they are polished to smooth the rough surface created by the cleaning. Without polishing, these irregular surfaces allow bacteria and plaque to adhere more easily and accelerate the recurrence of dental disease. Next, an antibacterial solution is flushed below the gumline to remove any debris that collected after the scaling and polishing. Lastly the entire mouth is checked again, and dental x-rays may be used to assess the extent of the dental disease and the need for tooth extractions or additional work. Even though most people can tolerate and sit through a thorough dental cleaning, pets can’t. The only way to perform a complete dental cleaning in pets is by using general anesthesia.
