Preventive Care

• Dental Care
  Can you imagine what your teeth would look like if you never brushed them? It’s no different for cats and dogs, though many pet owners don’t pay very much attention to their pet’s dental health.
• Vaccination
  Just like humans, pets deserve proper healthcare and nutrition. One of the fundamental health care routines that you should provide your pet is vaccination. Regular vaccinations not only protect your pet from diseases and boost their immune system, but they also prevent the spread of infectious diseases to other animals within your locality.
• Veterinary Ophthalmology
  It is very difficult to find an avian vet who is kind while not sugar coating what can be bad news. I had no idea conures get cataracts as they get older, helped me understand my bird’s actions. The Dr. is wonderful!
• Nutritional Counseling
  Parasites: Roundworms are common parasites found in turtle feces. While they are hard to detect, be on the lookout for diarrhea and weight loss.
• Comprehensive Examination
  Our services include check-ups, annual exams, and preventative medicine (wellness plans as part of our Prevention Club). We offer a full range of vaccinations that include rabies, distemper, kennel cough, and the newest rattlesnake vaccine.

Illness Treatment

• Parasites Treatment and Control
  Heartworm is a parasitic roundworm that infests pets, especially cats and dogs. The worm is spread from host to host through insect bites. A single bite from an infected black fly or mosquito is enough to spread the worm to your pet. These worms cause life-threatening conditions such as filariasis or heartworm disease.
• Behavioral Disorder Treatment
  Ferrets require annual vaccinations for canine distemper and rabies, both of which can be fatal to ferrets. Even if your ferret does not go outside or come in contact with other pets, it can still be at risk for contracting these two diseases. The distemper virus can be carried by people who come in contact with dogs and then pet or play with your ferret.
• Diarrhea Treatment
• Skin Condition and Allergy Treatment
  Due to the warmer temperatures in Florida, it is not as easy to gauge seasonality of pet allergies as it is in other locations like the northeast which experiences much more drastic fluctuations in temperature because grasses and pollens may be found year-round.
• Upper Respiratory Illness Treatment
  In cats, the effects of heartworms typically aren’t that severe since the worms cannot survive to adulthood. However, heartworms in cats can cause respiratory problems, which may be fatal. While there’s no heartworm cure for cats at this time, giving your cat heartworm prevention medicine is one of the best options for combating this disease in felines.

Infection Treatment

• Leptospirosis Treatment
• Parvovirus Infection Treatment
  Pets are susceptible to dangerous diseases such as rabies, feline leukemia, hepatitis, parvovirus and distemper among many others. Infections such as rabies are fatal and can be passed on to humans as well. The only viable way you can protect your family and pets from these life-threatening infections is through regular vaccinations.

• Veterinary Euthanasia

Lab and X-Rays

• Laboratory Services
  While it can be harder to narrow down in a climate like Florida, vets like University Animal Clinic can use a blood test (allergy test) to identify the cause of their environmental allergies.
• X-Ray
• Dental Radiology
  Digital dental x-rays for pets are a relatively new technology to the Bradenton and Sarasota area that allows us to see what is really going on inside your dog’s mouth. Pets can’t tell us where it hurts or if they hit a tooth on a rock while rolling around in the backyard, so we use Digital Dental x-ray technology to find problems in the teeth and gums. This non-invasive diagnostic tool allows us to resolve potential problems before a bigger issue arises.
• Microchipping
  Millions of pets get lost every year, much to the agony of their owners. While some pets end up in shelters, others become stray dogs and cats. Nevertheless, this doesn’t have to be your story. You can save yourself from the agony of losing your furry loved one through pet microchipping.
