Preventive Care

Dental Care
Maintaining good oral hygiene for pets can be challenging but it’s important to keep their teeth and gums clean to prevent dental problems in the future. Here are some tips and tricks to help keep your pet’s mouth clean...
Vaccination
Vaccinations are crucial for preventing many serious diseases that could harm your pet. Even if your pet stays indoors, they can still be exposed to viruses through the air, dust, or clothing. Vaccinating is an affordable way to safeguard your pet from costly treatments or even death.
Veterinary Ophthalmology
Some of the differences in pet insurance coverage include whether congenital and hereditary conditions, such as hip dysplasia, heart defects, eye cataracts, or diabetes, are covered; how the reimbursement is calculated, whether based on the actual vet bill, a benefit schedule, or usual and customary rates; whether the deductible is on a per-incident or an annual basis; whether there are any limits or caps applied, such as per incident, per year, or over the pet’s lifetime; and whether there is an annual contract that considers anything diagnosed in the previous year of coverage to be pre-existing the following year.

Injury Treatment

Infection Treatment

Leptospirosis Treatment
-Leptospirosis is a bacterial disease that can be found in most animals, including wildlife such as skunks, deer, raccoons, rats, opossums, and livestock. It is passed via urine into water sources. The bacteria can be present in stagnant surface water, moist soil, ponds, and lakes, which is where your dog may become infected with Leptospirosis by drinking, swimming, or walking in these infected areas. Leptospirosis can cause acute kidney and liver failure and result in severe illness and even death. This bacteria can be transmitted to humans. This vaccine is a recommended core vaccine for all dogs and should be given annually after proper initial boosters.
Parvovirus Infection Treatment
Feline Retro Virus Treatment
– Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) and Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) are highly contagious and are transmitted from cat to cat. Both are known to attack a cat’s immune system, and positive cats can develop bacterial, fungal, and viral infections, as well as cancer. Testing should be done on all kittens, new cats in a household, and all sick cats. Although there is a vaccine for FIV, it is not recommended as it can cause positive testing and result in a misdiagnosis of infection. All kittens should be vaccinated for Feline Leukemia, and lifestyle should be assessed when they are older to determine if vaccinations should be continued. All outdoor cats should be vaccinated for Feline Leukemia.
Bacterial and Viral Infection Treatment
Bordetella is a bacterial infection that causes upper respiratory infections. Dogs that come in contact with other dogs at groomers, pet stores, dog parks, boarding, or daycare should be vaccinated. This vaccine is recommended for all dogs that have increased exposure to infection.

Periodontal Disease Treatment
Dental care is an essential aspect of pet healthcare that should never be neglected. Just like humans, pets can develop dental problems such as cavities, gum disease, and tooth decay. Regular dental care helps prevent these issues and ensures that your furry friend maintains good oral health. Dental care for pets includes tooth brushing, dental chews, and professional cleanings. These practices help eliminate plaque and tartar buildup, reduce the risk of periodontal disease, and prevent bad breath. Additionally, proper dental care can improve your pet’s overall health and well-being. So, it is important to schedule regular dental check-ups with your veterinarian and follow their recommendations to keep your pet’s teeth and gums healthy.

Emergency Care

Wound and Fracture Care

Surgery

Veterinary Surgery
Declawing
Declawing should ONLY be considered after all other attempts have been made to prevent the cat from using its claws destructively or when clawing presents a significant health risk for people within the household. Before pursuing surgery, try frequent nail trimming, multiple scratching posts, and soft paws (soft nail caps that are glued on top of the nail). Declawing is a surgical procedure that involves the amputation of the third phalanx. A front declaw is preferred compared to an all-four paw declaw. It is best to declaw cats at the young age of about five months old. Young cats tend to recover more quickly and adapt better to the loss of their claws. This procedure can be painful and requires close monitoring for signs of pain as this potentially could lead to chronic pain. Cats that are declawed should be kept indoors only.
Spaying and Neutering
Help your pets live longer. Spayed and neutered cats live 39% and 62% longer than those who don’t have the procedure! For dogs, that’s 23% and 18%. The benefits of spaying and neutering don’t stop there. For more information, make an appointment today

Lab and X-Rays

Laboratory Services
We want to take a moment to discuss the significance of preventive care visits, and tackle the “elephant in the room”—the associated costs. We understand that you’re dedicated to providing the best care for your pets, and we share that commitment. Preventive visits, which include exams, vaccines, blood tests, stool checks, and parasite prevention, can add up.
Microchipping
Microchipping is the process of implanting a small electronic chip under the skin of an animal, usually using a hypodermic needle. The chip transmits an identification number to a scanner that can activate it using radio waves, and this number is then displayed on the scanner’s screen. Microchips used in pets only contain identification numbers and do not have a tracking device. However, some microchip registration databases allow pet owners to store their animal’s medical information for quick reference- Microchipping involves implanting a small electronic chip under the skin of an animal using a hypodermic needle.

General Pet Care

Boarding
We recommend all dog owners exercise caution in elevated risk or social settings such as boarding and grooming facilities, dog parks, shared water bowls, or toys.
