Spay and Neuter
Spaying and neutering are surgical procedures performed to prevent animals from reproducing. While "neuter" actually means "neither sex" and can theoretically be used to refer to an operation on either gender, in common usage neuter refers to the removal of the male's testicles and spay refers to the removal of the female's uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes.
Pet Nutrition
Our pets are important to us, and in many cases, they are like family. And so naturally, we want what is best for their health. One fundamental way of making sure our pets stay healthy and happy is to give them the proper nutrition.
Pet Wellness Visits
Just like humans, animals benefit from routine physicals. Even if your pet appears free from health problems, these wellness exams help keep your pet healthy for the long-term.
Heartworm
Heartworm disease, which is transmitted through mosquito bites, is caused by a parasitic roundworm named Dirofilaria immitis. Dogs are the animal most susceptible to heartworm disease, but it also affects cats and ferrets, and certain wild animals.
Flea and Tick Prevention
Fleas and ticks are a common problem for household pets, especially dogs and cats. You can save your pet from a lot of discomfort and potentially from pest-borne illnesses with preventive treatments recommended by your veterinarian.
Obesity and Weight Management
With obesity so common among humans, it is no surprise that obesity also plagues companion animals. Not only dogs and cats, but horses, birds and hamsters, sometimes have difficulty staying at an ideal weight.
Microchipping
Microchips are tiny devices that are implanted under the skin of animals to help identify them. The microchip does not run on battery power or anything like that, so it will always be functional. It should be used along with a collar, ID tag and rabies tag, not in place of.
Exotic Pet Services
Let’s face it: some pets need extra special care! Exotic pets may not be the traditional choice, but they are certainly just as deserving of care. These birds, small mammals, reptiles and other critters have very specific needs.
Puppies and Kittens
It’s exciting when pet lovers bring home a new puppy or kitten – much like the welcome of a new family member, they can bring joy into our lives. So naturally, you want to do what is best for the “new addition to the family.”
Pet Grooming
Whatever your reason is for grooming your pet, this service is big business, especially for dogs. There are many reasons why pet owners choose to have their pets groomed, and it’s not just for dog shows!
Surgery
At some point in our pet’s lives, they will likely need surgery – whether it is for a simple spay or neuter, or something more serious. Knowing what types of surgeries are available and performed by a qualified veterinarian professional gives you peace of mind, should your furry friend ever need it.
Emergency Services for Your Pet
Sometimes our pets need urgent care for illness, injury or other unexpected health problems. An emergency veterinarian can help your furry friend get on the road to recovery.
Small Animal Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese form of therapy that has become quite mainstream as a valid therapy for humans, but what many people don’t realize is that it can also be very effective for your pet. This centuries-old technique may enhance traditional veterinary medicine and further benefit your furry friend.
Dental Care for Pets
Dental care for pets is one of the most commonly overlooked areas of pet health care. Dental disease is a common problem for pets, with the majority of pets over the age of five suffering from some form of dental disease.
Vaccinations
A vaccination, also known as an immunization, is a medication which stimulates an immune response to provide protection against a particular disease, or group of diseases. Vaccinations are commonly given to pets to protect them from specific diseases.
