Wellness Examinations - The best way to ensure your pet
is happy and healthy is by routinely receiving wellness exams.
During the examination the veterinarian will look for problems
that could affect your pet's life before they are noticed at
home. They may also recommend blood testing to screen for the
most common diseases. It is important to bring a stool sample to
your pet's appointment to screen for parasites, which can often
go undetected and may be a hazard to you and your family. |
|
Vaccinations - Since no two pets are the same, we will
customize a vaccination protocol to your pet's needs and
lifestyle. Since Lyme disease is especially prevalent in this
part of the country, we recommend Lyme vaccination for most of
our canine patients. |
|
General, Orthopedic, and Elective Surgeries
- We are ready to handle all types of routine and emergency
surgeries in our well-equipped surgical suite. Elective
procedures, including canine and feline spays and neuters, laser
declaws, mass removals, and some knee surgeries, are performed
Monday through Thursday. To ensure your pet's safety, all
surgical patients are monitored with EKG, blood pressure, and
pulse oximetry during the procedure. |
|
Laser Surgery - We are pleased to offer
laser surgery as an exciting option for safe, comfortable
treatment. In many procedures laser can replace traditional
scalpel blade methods. Choosing laser surgery for your pet means
less pain, less bleeding, less swelling, reduced risk of
infection, and faster return to normal activities. Laser
surgery is frequently used for routine surgeries such as spays
and neuters and is also excellent for tumors, cysts, and many
other procedures. Laser surgery is an option for almost all
procedures at our hospital. Please discuss additional
benefits of laser surgery for your pet with your veterinarian. |
|
In-house Laboratory - In striving to give your pet the
best veterinary care possible, we offer an in-house laboratory
that can give us rapid results when it matters the most.
Our in-house laboratory offers bloodwork, EKG, blood pressure,
urinalysis, and many more important diagnostics. |
|
Ultrasound - Many diseases and conditions
can be diagnosed most readily with ultrasound. Ultrasound is a
non-invasive tool, which allows you to see the internal
architecture of your pet's body. Ultrasound can be used to
diagnose a variety of conditions such as liver disease, kidney
disease, bladder stones, congenital defects, and masses. |
|
Digital X-Ray - Digital x-ray offers yet
another non-invasive tool to screen for both orthopedic, chest,
and abdominal abnormalities. The benefit of digital x-ray as
compared to standard film x-ray is the ability to manipulate
views after the x-ray has been taken, which reduces the amount
of radiation exposure to your pet due to x-ray retakes. With
digital x-ray the "film" can be lightened, darkened, zoomed, and
otherwise adjusted to make sure the image is as clear as
possible. |
|
Dentistry - Pets should have routine dental check-ups and
cleaning to ensure the best quality of life for your best
friend. |
|
Digital Dental X-Ray - Just like at your dentist, dental
x-rays are an important tool to screen for disease present near
the roots of the teeth. It can detect disease of the oral
cavity before it is detectable with normal cleanings and
examinations. |
|
Blood Pressure Measurement - Blood pressure measurement
is an important diagnostic test in many diverse conditions
including kidney disease, Cushings disease, heart disease, and
thyroid disease. It is also a good screening tool for
patients over six years of age. |
|

to help your pet stay healthy or get better sooner. We are
not proud to offer home delivery of some foods and medicines
through our website. Please click on the VetSource banner

board-certified veterinarian, we will gladly provide referral

|
HomeAgain Microchipping - Microchipping is a form of
permanent identification that is with your pet at all times.
It is the easiest way to make sure that if your pet ever gets
lost, that they will be returned back home. For dogs it
also allows for lifetime licensing. Please visit the
HomeAgain website or ask
your veterinarian for more information. |

prescription diets in our hospital, as well as online through
