Canine Vaccinations and Preventatives
- Dog Vaccinations: Vaccines help protect pets against dangerous diseases that can be fatal. There are many vaccines available for dogs today, however, your pet may not need all of those vaccines. Some vaccines are core vaccines and some are optional depending on a variety of factors including your dogs exposure to disease. Vaccine recommendations can also change through out a pet’s life. Developing an appropriate vaccine schedule is important to us and for your pets health.
- Dog Parasite Control: Parasites can cause serious illness or even be fatal. For example; Ticks can transmit lyme Disease, fleas can transmit tapeworms, Mosquitoes can transmit heartworm. Some parasites are good at hiding and can be difficult to see. Some internal parasites can be transmissable to humans including round worms and hookworms. Intestinal Parasites can cause diarrhea andother problems, but many infected dogs will not show any signs. We can examine for evidence of parasites and recommend medication schedule to control parasites.
Canine Dental Care
- Dog Dental Care: The smell of your dogs breath can be one indicator of the health of their mouth. Bad breath is caused by bacteria, overtime the bacteria can lead to plaque and tartar buildup. Dental disease can cause bad breath, reddened gums, drooling, discomfort while chewing, and loose/missing teeth. Sometime treats and chews for clean teeth are not enough to fight dental disease. We can discuss all options for dental health for your pet.
- Dog Dental Exam: We can examine your dogs teeth and gums to determine if there is an issue. After a brief visual examination, we may recommend a more detailed exam (requiring sedation) and possibly digital x-rays.
- Dog Dental Cleaning: We may recommend scheduling cleanings for your dog which we can conduct here.
Canine Diagnostics
- Laser Therapy: Laser Emits light at a wavelength that we cannot see, and it is taken up by cells in the body. The cells convert that light into energy which they use to increase their metabolic rate, taking in nutrients and eliminating waste more quickly. As such, cellular turnover is increased and would healing is accelerated. Hot spots, cuts/scrapes, and inflammation are healin gin half the time it typically took. Cells in that area also release anti-pain and anti-inflammatory mediators. Swelling reduction and pain control is successfully achieved in wounds and/or joints. Arthritic patients have shown to have relief after a treatment of laser therapy as well.
- Ultrasound: A type of diagnostic technique that uses ultrasound waves to produce an imaging study. We can see internal images of the patient’s body. This technique does not use a radiation, instead it uses high-frequency sound waves to create a picture of what is inside your pet’s body. A completely non-invasive, painless way to diagnose and evaluatemany common diseases.
- Bloodwork: We can analyze a basic blood profile in house, or send out to a corresponding laboratory for specific lab testing.
- Digital Radiology: A radiograph (also known as an x-ray) is a type of photograph that can look inside the body and reveal information that may not be discernible for the outside. Can be used to evaluate almost any organ in the body as well as bones. Radiographs are painless, safe, and completely non-invasive, and it uses only very low doses of radiation. The amount of radiation used is so low that it is safe for pregnant females and very young pets. Radiographs can help diagnose bladder stones, broken bones, chronic arthritis, certain spinal cord diseases, tumors, intestinal blockages, and a variety of other conditions.

A microchip is about the size and shape of a grain of rice and is place underneath your pet’s skin between the shoulder blades. Microchip implantation takes only a few minutes and is very safe. Each microchip is unique and carries vital information about your pet, including your name, address, and contact informantion. When a microchip is implanted the pet owner is given a registration form to complete. Registering the number on the microchip includes your pet in a national pet recovery database. Veterinary hospitals, animal shelters, and animal control offices across the country are equipped with special electronic scanners that can detect the microchip and read the identification number.
