Pet Dentistry
Our veterinary dentistry services include ultrasonic scaling, polishing, extractions, and oral surgery. We address periodontal disease and emphasize preventive care to avoid systemic health issues. Personalized treatment plans ensure pets maintain optimal oral health, extending their lifespan and quality of life through early intervention and specialized procedures.
Anesthesia Services
We administer safe anesthesia using modern monitoring equipment for surgical procedures. Our team tracks vital signs like heart rate and oxygen levels, employing specialized protocols for high-risk patients. Pre-anesthetic evaluations and continuous technician oversight ensure pets remain stable and comfortable during treatments requiring sedation.
Dietary Counseling
Veterinarians assess pets' dietary needs based on age, weight, breed, and medical conditions. We recommend appropriate foods and portion sizes to maintain health, manage allergies, or address specific issues like kidney disease. Guidance includes store-bought and prescription diet options tailored to each animal's requirements.
Flea Control Programs
Customized flea and tick prevention plans protect pets and households. We offer approved medications and environmental control strategies to eliminate infestations. Education on product usage and seasonal prevention helps owners avoid parasites that cause dermatitis, infections, and disease transmission.
Electrocardiograms
On-site ECG diagnostics evaluate heart rhythm abnormalities, murmurs, and electrical activity. Non-invasive testing identifies arrhythmias, valve disease, and cardiac enlargement. Results guide treatment decisions for conditions affecting heart function, ensuring timely intervention for pets showing symptoms like fainting or respiratory distress.
